Who's Ordering The S26

[azdmelani]

At least the trade in for my S25U is $900.... Looking hard at a Cobalt Violet S26U

That's what I got at 256gb. I looked at my storage used on this phone and will have plenty of room.

Only 3% cash back from rakuten this year too

Looks like bestbuy is the only one that's giving the free memory upgrade

I got $600 for my 24+ and I only paid $400. Not sure when it's going to be delivered.

I didn't think about BB. They're only offering $700 for my S23 Ultra.

I just snapped up the 26 ultra 1tb in the online exclusive silver colour, and also a spigen zero one case from amazon for it
With trade in of my 25 ultra, plus some samsung credits I had left the phone coat me £712

With no deal to upgrade from 256 to 512, a paltry $30 pre-reserve credit and a lousy discount for new Buds4 Pro earbuds I think I will just have a new battery put in my S23U and keep on trucking.

No incentive for me to upgrade and even color choices were blah...

Samsung is offering me $500 for my Note 20 Ultra. That's insane for a 5 1/2 year old phone. God how I wish I was able to upgrade.

Nothing wrong with holding on to the S23U. I honestly wouldn't mind if I had to carry it another year. BT S-Pen for those that loved the BT. For me I didn't upgrade because I thought the camera could still hold it's own to the new ones. I didn't like they went from a 10x optical zoom lens to the 5x optical that they have still continued with to the 26U.

I guess a battery replacement at ubreakifix is < $200? I think with my S22U battery replacement included the back glass because it was sold as a unit.

Anyone think their might be better incentives if they see pre sales aren't as great as they thought they would be?

Feels like I got punched in the gut... LOL

Flip 6 went from $915 to $270.

I ordered the 256 black. I have to research it more to determine if I cancel the order or not. Looks trade in and no double memory upgrade is a low blow

 

[mustang7757]

I'll see.... I can get it for 399.00 only reason to do this because I would want a newer phone lol , I don't know yet.

 

[Dualmonitors]

is there ANY free memory upgrades at all? i didn't see any.

i got confused when people are specifying that there is no memory upgrade for 256 to 512. in reality, there are NO memory upgrades for any memory size, right?

i didn't even know how to use my $30 early reservation credit! how would i have been able to use that $30? it was nowhere to be found when i did my pre-order during the Unpacked event (i.e. before the event was even over)

 

[Paul Bledsoe]

I pulled the trigger on the 1TB Black model. It was hard for me to turn down $900 for my trade-in. This will make my 4th trade-in in a row going back to my Note 20 Ultra for the S23 Ultra.

 

[evohicks]

I went for the Sky Blue 512gb Ultra and traded my S25 Ultra, got a free clear magnet case and received an email from Samsung just before I ordered of a loyalty offer of £150. No pre order buds or other things this time.
Total to pay after discounts was £330.15 so I am pretty pleased this year.

Flip 6 went from $915 to $270.

Flip 5 trade in $500

 

[Orion78]

Trying to decide between the Violet or Sky Blue. Have to see them in person first. I know it just got announced but does Best Buy have them yet?

 

[Dualmonitors]

How did anyone figure out how to use the $30 early sign in bonus?

I couldn't figure it out!

 

[jlangner]

Got the S26 Ultra!

 

[Ihazterbo]

Well when I go to order it still has me with a company discount. Unfortunately I was laid off in October and don't want emails to go to that address thinking I'm there. Ummm, how do I make it not put me as an employee?
