Samsung opens Galaxy S26 pre-reservations in India with multiple benefits

Multiple reports about Samsung’s next lineup of non-foldable flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S26 series, suggested that the brand will start taking pre-reservations for it in India on February 11. Those reports have turned out to be true.

Samsung has started taking pre-reservations for the Galaxy S26 series globally. In India, reserving the device by paying INR 999 makes customers eligible for an e-Store voucher worth INR 2,699 (~$30) that can be used for purchasing other devices.

For those thinking of exchanging their existing device for one of the S26 models, there's also the option to lock-in the exchange value right away instead of waiting for the phones to go on sale.

Samsung is also offering the chance to win a voucher worth INR 5,000 that can be used to purchase any other device other than the Galaxy S26, S26+, or S26 Ultra. This doesn't require the INR 999 payment for pre-reservation. Simply registering your interest in the upcoming devices automatically enters you into the giveaway.

The last day for pre-reservation is February 24. Samsung will officially unveil the new smartphones on February 25. The Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro wireless earbuds will accompany the Galaxy S26 lineup.
