Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S26 series has been as much as $900 during the phone\u2019s pre-order period. Unfortunately, that early deal phase is coming to an end this week, meaning getting significantly boosted trade-in deals and promotional discounts won\u2019t be nearly as easy after Wednesday.<\/p>\n
According to Samsung, pre-orders will end on Wednesday, March 11. Once the countdown finishes, Samsung will no longer offer boosted trade-in values for older devices. That means most of these discounts will go out the window.<\/p>\n
For one, pre-ordering the Galaxy S26 Ultra now means users can save up to $900<\/a> by trading in a device. Samsung will offer the most for its own devices, but Apple and Google devices will offer up some trade-in value, too. On top of that, it looks like an $80 instant credit is added on for accessories, like the Galaxy Watch Ultra or Buds 4 Pro.<\/p>\n Those who choose not to trade in something can still get $150 off the Galaxy S26 Ultra instantly, though trading in something is your best way to save money.<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n The Galaxy S26 and S26+ also get decent trade-in discounts, with up to $730 off<\/a>. In this case, though, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is the best deal for a couple of reasons. It didn\u2019t go up in price this year, and its trade-in deals are much more inviting.<\/p>\n None of this matters once the Galaxy S26 pre-order period<\/a> ends. Once that happens, trade-in values will dive, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra will go back up to $1,299, when the base model is currently available with an additional $230 in credit towards accessories.<\/p>\n
