If you were planning to buy an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, there’s some disappointing news. One of the best preorder deals has already sold out — the offer that included a free storage upgrade and a $200 gift card from Amazon is no longer available.
However, there’s still good news for potential buyers. Samsung is continuing to run its own promotion for the device, and in some cases it may actually provide even better value.
Samsung’s current offer allows customers to choose between a trade-in discount of up to $900 or $150 in Samsung store credit. The trade-in option is particularly attractive and currently represents one of the largest discounts available for an unlocked version of the phone.
Another reason to buy directly from Samsung is access to exclusive color options. This week, buyers can choose from special finishes such as Silver Shadow and Pink Gold, which aren’t widely available through other retailers. Additionally, anyone who signed up for Samsung’s early reservation program will receive an extra $30 in store credit, which can be used toward accessories like phone cases or even discounts on compatible smartwatches.
At the time of writing, there are six days left to preorder the Galaxy S26 before the device officially launches. While retailers will likely continue offering some promotions after release, they may not be as generous as the preorder deals currently available. For buyers hoping to maximize savings, securing a device during the preorder period could be the best option.
