Samsung S26 Series Pre-Orders: Discount & Trade-in Breakdowns

Curious to see what everyone is paying for their S26 pre-orders this year. Post your discounts, trade-ins, and final totals!

Here is my stack:

  • Model: S26 Ultra 256GB
  • Starting Price: ~$ 2,211.75 @ Samsung NZ
  • 25 % off Discount - ~$1,911.75 (using the Samsung EPP Portal)
  • Trade-in: -$1,220 total (S25 Ultra 256GB for $920 + $300 trade-in boost)
  • Extra Discount: 5% off voucher
  • Extra Welcome gift [Samsung Shop App] 10% off voucher - Auto Applied
  • Total Paid: ~$591.45

Anyone manage to beat this?

    I think that's the lowest so far. I got a separate coupon that only added a free magnetic case but didn't add any further discounts.

    S26 Ultra 256 GB, trade in S24 Ultra 256 GB.

    Total: $711.15

    Same codes, first time user.

    Last year with all the code stacking and trade in boosts (trading in my S24), I got my S25 for $114.32. I wasn't planning to change to the S26 (exynos vs snapdragon) but out of curiosity I checked what trading in my S25 would result in: $834.25. Crazy the difference a year can make.

  • Saw this in the other post GALAXY-S26E for a 65W charger.

  • How are you stacking Samsung app 10% with EPP?

    I use epp a lot but didn’t think you could log into epp through samsung app?

    • You can change stores under your account in the app

      • Nice thanks a lot

  • I got my s25u 512gb preorder last year for around $1450 not including device trade in value. When i’m doing back of the envelope on s26u seeing around $1700 as cheapest for 512gb hmm… not very appetising

    What's the 5% voucher?

    • You can get it by asking the customer support to give you a 5% off voucher.

      • Ah yup, thanks

  • Is the members discount for new Samsung account, first usage on phone, or both? I've had it in the past but didn't have it for my last purchase nor is it in my cart now.

    Also does anyone know what the deal is with the up to $300 off Samsung points boost?

  • How do you get EPP?

  • This year's pricing just doesn't seem enticing enough. Also with the shift to exynos going from S25 to S26 is not tempting at all - and the jump to S26U is a $1k top up. Skipping!

  • Last year, with tradein, it was around 900 from ERP with codes etc. Now, it's like 1300.
    My justification is/was, paying 900 for a brand new flagship phone every year isn't that bad. But now I am not convincing myself.

    When I trade in S25+ for S26+ in EPP store, it's only Showing value of the phone $725, there's NO trade-in bonus. Does anyone have the same issue?

    • Yes, same for me. It can't be right giving only $325 for phone and $400 bonus ($725 total).

    • S24 (base model) on epp is showing as $505 trade-in value + $200 bonus. For base S26 brings cart down to $644 before any vouchers etc.
