Samsung is still several days away from unveiling the Galaxy S22 series, but the company has already launched a reservation page for its upcoming devices. Registering to get a unit of the upcoming phone appears to be free and will offer some perks.
If a Samsung fan goes to this page, they will find a countdown to the next Unpacked event set on Wednesday, Feb. 9, on the left side of the screen. The other side of the screen is dedicated to people who want to make sure they get to pre-order (and eventually place an order) the upcoming Galaxy S22.
It is worth noting, though, that Samsung seems to be trying to remain mysterious as one of the options only says “Reserve the next Galaxy smartphone.” But the company has already mentioned “S22” in a recently released teaser for the event next week, practically confirming that the reservation is meant for the Galaxy S22 phones.
Customers who will reserve a Galaxy S22 are promised to receive “Samsung.com exclusive offers.” For now, though, the company only confirms a $50 Samsung Credit, which can be used in purchasing the device or other mobile accessories from Samsung’s online store.
While $50 is not much considering the expected prices of the Galaxy S22 models, Samsung says customers who will reserve a phone should “look forward to more exclusive offers” once pre-order is open. The giveaways for early buyers of Galaxy S22 phones are still unknown, but if the offers at the time for Galaxy S21 were any indication, securing a reservation may be worth it. In some regions, Samsung offered a free Galaxy SmartTag (worth $29.99) for Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+ pre-orders and a free Galaxy Buds Live (originally priced $169.99) for Galaxy S21 Ultra pre-orders.
The mere assurance of getting a Galaxy S22 phone as soon as they are out may be enough incentive to make a reservation. As most tech fans have already heard, there are still supply chain issues that have been causing parts and chips shortages worldwide. And a leaker has previously claimed that the Galaxy S22 Ultra, in particular, could be a difficult device to find after its launch.
