I am starting this thread to discuss the Samsung S26 series, including specs, prices, and deals.
Rumors are that it will be available in late February 2026.
How exactly did you manage to stack the codes? I tried the EPP and the student site but both only show the included 15% off. Seems it's better value to just use the €50 off code (BUDS50) on the normal site.
At the final checkout page the coupon code box was available last week. Maybe they've disabled it this week.
Sales seems to be low. All colours etc available for delivery next day. Will likely see better offers last week.
Ordered at 10:30 last night and shipped at 8am today. They are either seriously efficient or not very busy 😀
I used normal site with BUDS50 and Buds3 Pro trade in. It was €139.
Other sites were €160.
Interesting that they've sent the trade return labels digitally now. None of this waiting for a label malarkey. No excuses for late return if they get a bit more stringent on that front.
Anyway, Silver looks nice, but won't really try it till after. Quick look at the Buds Pro - comfort seems as decent as always. Don't expect them to quite measure up to the XM6s, but they've usually been more tolerable in-ear physically IMO.
What screen protector does everyone usually go for?
The Return Label is "Tracked" this time. Hurray!
Does DPD delivery on a Sunday? Phone and buds are dispatched Friday morning.
No, I think they they do Saturday deliveries but it has to be paid for
Yeah, will keep an eye out. I haven't seen much about whether there's a noticeable improvement with the cameras, but battery life seems a bit better. Charging seems to hardly be any faster despite the significant jump on paper.
My main concern is the screen. I'm not bothered by the privacy screen, and it seems like the screen is objectively worse, with worse anti reflective properties as well. I wouldn't want to go back to a worse panel, that was a big part of me moving on from the S24U and the graining when the screen was dim.
I've never used a screen protector in my life so probably not the best person to ask but given the privacy screen on the s26 you'd probably have to carefully select a screen protector.
I am still in 2 minds I have the price down to 508 selling my phone to CEX. My Buda should arrive today.
Anyone who has received thir phones yet? Give us a review.
These Spigen ones are good. They work with the in screen fingerprint reader. Really easy install too.

Got my Buds4 Pro and inital thoughts are that there a big improvement.
Only good reviews on those so far.
Im not an audio expert but I can tell the difference.
The PayPal bonus is now 150 euros.
oooooooooo noooooo i might be tempted by the extra 50:-)
How did you manage to get that price for the S26 Ultra? Lowest i've got is 1124 with a 15% discount code and €150 off Paypal bonus
256 GB ?
Its the 256 gb
256 gb and 512 gb have the same price
Not when you a Samsung Store discount. The 512gb reverts to its original price. 15% comes off the 256gb model to 1274 while 15% off the 512gb brings it to 1435.
Got them earlier too just tried them out for a few minutes there, very impressed
It looks to me that there are (2) 15% off discount codes applied. RPP 1499 down to 1274, then to 1083, then the €150 off Paypal bonus brins it to 933.
Okay thanks! i didnt know about the Samsung Store discount
I have the same. I have an epp or something like that. I have a 15% discount on all new phones and 10% after the pre launch sale. Then at check out i add the second 15% off.
Thank you! Sadly I dont have that
Did any one get the code for €30 off off the buds for pre-registering and can you stack if buying the phone with the 15% code?
I registered for the event but never watched/activated it at the time so not sure if I was supposed to get the €30 off code but I haven't received it anyway.
