But what do you get when you pre-secure a unit ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked event? The first benefit is a $30 Samsung credit, which, as usual, is redeemable toward eligible accessories at the time of pre-order. According to the fine print at Samsung.com, the reservation discount can be redeemed when you pre-order:
- A Galaxy S26 device
- The latest Galaxy wearable (most likely a Galaxy Buds 4 model)
- Samsung's premium Galaxy Book 6 laptop series
Beyond the $30 reservation gift, users get a chance to win a $5,000 prize. Curiously, the sweepstakes promotion doesn't require a purchase, meaning you become eligible to win just by signing up.
And now, onto the most important part that undoubtedly any Samsung fan wants to know—what discount do you get on the flagship phones? This year, you get a $900 maximum trade-in discount. Bottom line: you can save up to $930 on your next Galaxy AI device this year.

I should point out that not all trade-ins will qualify. To get the biggest discount, you must provide a smartphone that meets all Trade-In Program eligibility requirements. You can find out more about the official store's trade-in terms and conditions here.
According to some leaks from February 9, Samsung might bundle its flagship lineup with a 60W charging adapter at no extra cost. At this stage, though, Samsung dоesn't have any details that either confirm or dismiss this rumored freebie.
