Samsung Galaxy S26 series is already getting attention before its official launch. Samsung has opened pre-reservations for ₹999 ahead of its February 25 Unpacked event. The company says this will help users lock in current trade-in values and get special benefits. Still, many people are unsure about upgrading.

The reason behind this uncertainty for the pre-reservation is the low trade-in value of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The phone launched in January 2025 at a starting price of ₹1,41,999. But now, some users say they are getting exchange offers of around ₹52,130 for the 512GB model. Many feel this price drop is too big in such a short time.

Users believe a premium phone should keep its value for longer. When the resale value falls quickly, it makes people think twice about buying the next model. Some customers are now questioning whether upgrading every year is really worth it.

One user shared that he sold his older Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for ₹44,000. He feels the difference between the resale value of the S23 Ultra and the newer S25 Ultra is not very big. Because of this, he does not see a strong reason to upgrade again so soon.

Some people say selling the phone privately can give better returns. A few users claim they can get up to ₹80,000 if the phone is in good condition. However, personally selling a phone to someone takes time and effort, and not everyone wants to handle that process.

For now, many users feel the Galaxy S25 Ultra is still powerful and works very well. Instead of rushing to buy the Galaxy S26 series, some may choose to keep their current phone longer.
