Who's Ordering The S26

[VidJunky]

I was waiting to see if by chance they had a change of heart when it came to the BT SPen but sadly they did not. I'm just not feeling $500 for a new screen and __?___, not much else really.

For anyone looking for deals, Verizon is offering some interesting deals if you're willing to get a carrier phone. To get it free I would have to pay an extra $1 a month and lose the Hulu/Disney/ESPN package I get with my current package.

They keep trying to get me off the Hulu/Disney plan,

I went to Samsung.com I am not doing a trade in because I want to keep my S24 ultra. I liked it so pulled the trigger for purple S26 ultra and tried to sign out with PayPal and kept getting errors on Samsung side. So when that didn't work I ordered my with my card no problem order went through.Cool. Then I look today at my PayPal and there were pending orders for samsung even though Samsung had no orders with PayPal. What a mess. So I call PayPal they say no worries when Samsung order doesn't come through they'll fall off. SO I have a violet phone coming. Hope I like it.

Feel absolutely insane. I know I pre-ordered but can't find an email anywhere confirmed or find it on Samsungs site. I put my normal email address in but I'm wondering if they tried to send a confirmation email to my old work email. I set it up to pay via Samsung with Affirm but that doesn't even act like I've done anything. WTF??
So do I try to set up a "new" Samsung account??

I used affirm and on the affirm app it shows Samsung order, says in processing or something. If it isn't in affirm app I would contact Samsung.

I did. They didn't see an order at all. Honestly thats fine, they kept sending emails to my work email that no longer exists. Had to create a new Samsung account so I lost all my old order info and points which were very few so didn't worry about that. Now I have confirmation from email personal & affirm and shows on Samsung as pre order. However I got 80.00 of credit for shopping instead of 30.00. Did i lose my 50.00 discount I used to get? Yes. Am I sad? Also yes lol

I finally pre-ordered the violet S26U w/ 1TB, for essential $556, so it's a win for me in spite of the mid offerings.

By the time I ordered, Rakuten was back to 3% cash back (blah), but Captial One was offering a $270 cash back if you spend more than $400, so I picked that deal. That plus the $30 reservation, plus the $50 PayPal deal, and $900 trade in deal, brings the S26U down to something I can be ok with.

This is mildy infuriating. I first saw this on Reddit and then checked myself... Sigh... If you don't have a phone to trade in, you can get free double storage PLUS a usd200 Amazon gift card. I say only if you don't have a phone to trade in because if you do - the trade in values through Amazon is like half or less than what you would get from Amazon. So I guess, it almost comes out in a wash, but still..............

I already ordered but I dont see a 270 cash back from Capitol One. I see 5% offer

I was hoping Samsung would finally offer a 2TB option (or at least a microSD slot - yea I know wishful thinking) and bring back the BLE feature to the S-pen.

Whenever I take group shots, the BLE connection makes it convenient to use with the other hand since the way I hold the phone, my fingernail ends up hitting the shutter and doesn't easily register.

When I first heard of the privacy display, I knew there would be some level of compromising. Maybe it's something that isn't really noticeable when in isolation and not next to another phone, I guess we'll see in person.

I priced in the S24U trade-in during checkout, since there's nothing to lose. If I end up hating the S26U, I'll just return the new phone. If I'm impressed with the S26U, I'll send them the S24U. If I like them both and can't decide, I'll keep them both lol and have them charge back the difference. I went this route with the Note 10+ since that's the last phone I really liked and made it my backup phone heh.
