Galaxy S26 Reservations Are Now Live, and Here’s What You Get

UPDATE 02/25: Galaxy S26 series preorders are now live, and you’ll have to use this link to be eligible for the mystery box offer (don’t open it in the Shop Samsung app on mobile, just continue in your browser). Once you’ve completed the purchase, you can head to the verification page to submit your details so we can ship the mystery box to your address.

It’s official. Samsung has opened reservations for the Galaxy S26 series, and there are a few perks that come with it. And yeah, even though Samsung isn’t spelling out the names, we all know what they’re talking about. On top of that, the company has confirmed when and where it’ll host Galaxy Unpacked.

Samsung quietly opens Galaxy S26 reservations in the US

A quick explanation for anyone who might not be familiar with reservations, and how they differ from preorders. Reservations don’t require a purchase and simply mean you’re showing interest in an upcoming product. You don’t need to pay even a small deposit, at least here in the US. A preorder, on the other hand, means you’re actually buying the device before it hits store shelves.

As far as Galaxy S26 reservations go, Samsung is offering a $30 credit to everyone, redeemable during the preorder phase. There’s also a chance to win a $5,000 gift card through a sweepstakes, open to anyone who signs up for a reservation. You can receive up to $900 in additional savings with a trade-in, or a $150 total discount towards anything else when you choose trade-in.

To sign up, just head to this link. Tap the banner at the top that says Reserve then enter either your mobile number or email address. That’s all it takes to register and lock in the $30 credit, and also count your entry to win a $5,000 gift card. Once the devices are official, you’ll be able to use the credit and take advantage of the other offers.

That said, don’t forget to sign up for our mystery box program, where we send a bundle of accessories with your purchase.
