I track cell phone deals for a living and if there's one thing I recommend doing before a Galaxy launch, it's locking in Samsung's Reserve offer. Even if you don't plan on buying Samsung's new Galaxy S26, it's an easy way to secure discounts you won't see post launch.

For example, right now you can get a $30 Samsung credit for free at Samsung. Even better, you'll also get up to $900 off via trade-in. I've covered many Galaxy Unpacked events and this is always Samsung's best pre-order offer. The best part is you don't have to commit to buying the new phone. (You'll only receive the credit post purchase). Make sure to follow our Samsung Galaxy S26 live blog for the latest updates.

Samsung hasn't confirmed any S26 rumors, but it's likely the new lineup will sport new chips, new AI features, and bigger batteries. We may even see a slightly larger screen and a handful of camera improvements.

Fans of the Galaxy S26 Ultra should also know that the phone could gain a wider aperture. While it might not sound like the biggest upgrade, it could improve real-world camera performance. This would be a major asset, especially since the phone is tipped to recycle the same 200MP main sensor as its predecessor.

Remember, this pre-order offer will expire soon. For more deals, check out our guide to the best Samsung promo codes.
