Samsung is offering a head start on Galaxy S26 savings through its Galaxy Reserve program. By signing up with just your name and email, you'll lock in up to $900 off with trade-in when the phones debut at Unpacked on February 25th. The program also guarantees a $30 credit and enters you into a sweepstakes for $5,000 in Samsung cash.

This annual promotion lets early birds secure preorder deals before the official announcement. While the $900 trade-in value will likely be available to everyone after Unpacked, the $30 credit and sweepstakes entry are exclusive to Reserve members. Current Galaxy S25 or S24 Ultra owners stand the best chance at maximizing savings, though Samsung could sweeten offers this year.

The promotion runs through February 25th, coinciding with the Unpacked event at 1pm ET. The livestream will be available on YouTube and Samsung.com. Samsung typically uses this program to generate buzz and secure early commitments, making it a low-risk way to guarantee savings if you're planning to upgrade. With no purchase commitment required and minimal personal information needed, the Galaxy Reserve program represents one of the easiest ways to save on Samsung's next flagship lineup.
