I could probably get an S26U down to $500 trading in my S25U and stacking discounts. But even at that price, I don't see the value. The privacy screen seems to be the main upgrade, but a review I read said it's not that private. Everything else is incremental, and I'm happy with the S25U apart from the ugly camera rings - ! wish I'd bought a black one.

I was a geek before the word was invented!

Anyone has any vouchers that work on the EPP store and they don't want to use and stacks with the following codes:

GALAXY-S26E

MAR-ON03E-ED

Thanks in advance.

Mine was due today, but only actually shipped at 11 am, still due today but that seems unlikely, your right no tracking info is honestly horrible in 2026

Yes, I got a notification from the NZ Post app saying it had been picked up.

I pre-ordered mine and received it on the 5th huge upgrade from my S22 Ultra, privacy display is interesting probably not a selling point for myself though. it's much faster and the camera is enough of an upgrade over the S22 to make it worth it.

The speed was the first thing I noticed coming from an S23FE. It is so much faster. And the cameras are a huge upgrade too.

I managed to get the S26U and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro for a net cost of around $900 incl s24U trade in. Says ETA 30th of March though! Hopefully not.

Has anyone ordered the regular S26 yet? The best price I can get in the EPP store is $539 with trading in my S25 and getting a free case and power supply - anyone managed to get it cheaper? None of the other codes appear to work (I've tried heaps!)
