Save up to $900 with eligible instant trade-in

Samsung's latest Galaxy Unpacked event was filled with plenty of announcements, including news of the brand new Galaxy S26 Ultra phone. If this sleek device has caught your eye, Samsung's treating customers who pre-order the phone to a bonus when they trade-in an eligible device.

Those interested in pre-ordering the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra from Samsung's online store can save up to $900 with an eligible trade-in, which will be credited from your final price. That's a pretty nice offer for a preorder, which starts at $1,299.99 for the 256GB model.

You'll want to be quick to take advantage of this limited-time offer. This offer only lasts for a week (Samsung has a timer already going on the store page), so you don't want to wait too long to make a move on it.

As with many of these trade-in offers, your device needs to be eligible to qualify. Thankfully, scrolling down to the "Samsung Trade-in" section on the page and clicking "Yes, trade-in" opens up a window where you can check your device's eligibility. The criteria includes its condition, which needs to be "Good" in order to get the full trade-in value. Here are those requirements:

  • Device turns on and screen works normally

  • Activation Locks are disabled, accounts are removed, and device is factory reset

  • Charging port works and battery holds a charge

  • Screen, body (front and back), and camera lens are free of cracks

  • The device is not on a banned list

Alternatively, if you don't have a device to trade in, you can get $150 worth of Samsung Credit to use towards add-ons when you pre-order. These include earbuds, watches, tablets, select accessories, and select Samsung Care+ packages.

Mashable's Amanda Yeo was able to get hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and highlighted its new privacy display. She stated that she, "Found it remarkably effective — particularly its Maximum mode. Activating the Privacy display made the S26 Ultra's screen appear noticeably darker when viewed from wide angles, rendering it more difficult to read if not facing it head-on."

If you can't wait to get your hands on it, why not save a little cash when pre-ordering? Don't miss out on this great offer to save up to $900 with an eligible instant trade-in Credit when pre-ordering the Galaxy S26 Ultra at Samsung.
