Galaxy S26 pre-order deals to watch out for: FREE Galaxy Buds, cases, accessories, more?

Pre-orders for the new Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup are set to go live in just under 15 minutes from now and the deals will be flying. We will detail the offers we already know about down below so you know what you are getting into, but there are some other savings potential to be aware before you rush through checkout. 

Galaxy S26 pre-order discounts

Update – now live:

How to score a FREE set of $180 Galaxy Buds 4 with your Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-order (No strings attached)

How to save 70% off the new Galaxy Buds 4 Pro

As we have mentioned previously, we know Samsung will be offering up to $900 in trade-in value on the new Galaxy S26 lineup – this value is likely referring to the max value on the S26 Ultra, but there will be generous trade-in options for the S26 and S26+ as well. 

Time is also running out to secure your FREE $30 credit by way of the Reserve page. This option will disappear very soon (like any minute now), so you will want to go drop your email ASAP in order to ensure your account/email has the FREE credit attached to it when you go to checkout.

Just as a quick reminder: You don’t need to actually buy anything if you sign up for the Reserve, but it will ensure you get the credit just in case you do

Score FREE Galaxy Buds with Galaxy S26 preorders (are dramatically discounted)?

We still aren’t sure if the $150 off that was spotted in international Galaxy S26 campaigns will apply here in the U.S., nor is it clear whether or not Samsung will offer FREE storage upgrades like last year. You will want to keep an out for these options on the listing pages once they go live, but they will mostly be obvious – the bonus accessory offers might not be though:

With all of that said there are some things still up in the air and that is mainly surrounding the add-on deals. We are very much exciting Samsung to offer some extremely generous price drop on Galaxy Watches, Galaxy Buds, and more for those pre-ordering. If these deals are anything like last year’s launch, they will yield the lowest prices anywhere for this gear. 

You’ll also want to consider the following – if Samsung does offer up big-time discounts on other Galaxy gear, it might mean you can leverage that credit or savings on just about anything on the site. Last year we uncovered the ability to score FREE Galaxy Buds with orders, full-on Galaxy Tabs at 80% off (and sometimes even FREE), and more. 

Samsung will present you with accessory options during the checkout process, and there are some great values in there, but, if this works anything like last year, you can side-step those offers and leverage that credit towards more expensive and sought after gear on the official Samsung site simply by adding it to your cart separately.
