Samsung's Galaxy S26 Preorder Perks Vary by Market, With US Missing Double-Storage Deal

The split signals cost pressure, with pricing still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Samsung’s India reservation page confirms a free upgrade from 256GB to 512GB for Galaxy S26 pre-orders, with no equivalent perk for 512GB buyers.
  • Reports indicate similar 256GB-to-512GB pricing offers in parts of Europe, including the UK, France, and Italy, during the pre-order window.
  • US buyers appear excluded from the storage upgrade and are being offered a $30 Samsung credit, a chance to win $5,000, and up to $900 with eligible trade-ins.
  • Global pre-orders are expected to open on February 25, with shipments reported to begin around March 11.
  • India reservations also include an assured voucher worth INR 2,699 and limited prize draws, while rumors suggest potential price increases for the S26 lineup.
