New leak reveals Galaxy S26 pre-order deals before new Galaxy Unpacked launch event
Samsung now has a day to go before it hosts its next Galaxy Unpacked event. When announcing the event, the company also confirmed launch details and initial pre-order vouchers. Now, leaker billbil-kun has elaborated on Samsung's earlier teasers.
Writing on Dealabs, billbil-kun reiterates that the Galaxy S26 series will officially start at €999 (~$1,175) as the Galaxy S26 with 256 GB of storage. In other words, Samsung is finally set to move on from the entry-level 128 GB variant in which it offers the Galaxy S25 (curr. $414 renewed on Amazon). Samsung will be offering various stackable discounts, too.
Previously, Samsung had confirmed that it would offer a free base-level storage upgrade from 256 GB to 512 GB across markets like Europe and the UK. This offer may not reach North America, though. Billbil-kun adds that Samsung will also provide €100 trade-in bonuses against Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus pre-orders.
Meanwhile, Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-orders will receive €150 off when trading in an older device. Effectively, this means that the Galaxy S26 series will start at €899 (~$1,059) with 512 GB of storage during its pre-order phase. Samsung has indicated that pre-orders should begin shipping on March 11.
