Ahead Of Galaxy S25 Series Launch, Samsung Launches New Galaxy Trade-In Programme

Samsung is anticipated to reveal the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphones at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked on Jan. 22. Days ahead of the event, Samsung has announced a new Galaxy Trade-In Programme, which allows users to trade-in their old Galaxy devices on Samsung.com.

Users can trade-in an eligible device and receive instant credit at checkout towards the purchase of a qualifying new Samsung Galaxy device.

Notably, the new Samsung programme will pilot in Korea and France starting Jan. 14 and expand to more regions through 2025. It remains to be seen in which other markets this programme will be offered later this year.

The following devices are currently eligible for trade-in and if you are looking to purchase a new Samsung device through this programme, then check out the list below:

• Galaxy S23

• Galaxy S22

• Galaxy S21

• Galaxy S20 series

• Galaxy Z Fold5

• Galaxy Fold4

• Galaxy Fold3

• Galaxy Z Flip5

• Galaxy Z Flip4

• Galaxy Z Flip3

According to Samsung, here’s how users can participate in the Samsung Galaxy Trade-In Programme:

• Select a new Samsung device and your trade-in device to see your instant trade-in credit.

• Once your new Samsung device arrives, prepare your trade-in device. Transfer your data, factory reset the device, and disable anti-theft protection.

• Pack and ship your trade-in device as per instructions from Samsung on My Orders page or Trade-In Welcome Email. 

• You'll receive email updates when your trade-in device is inspected and accepted. If your trade-in is declined, Samsung will return your device for free upon request.

While the Samsung trade-in process is quite simple, one of the most important factors users must focus on is that the trade-in device must meet the following requirements, as per the company:

• Power on and hold a charge.

• Have a functioning display.

• Be free of breaks, defects that go beyond normal wear and tear, or cracks.

• Belongs to you and is not on a banned list by a carrier.

• Factory reset and cleared of data with anti-theft locking software disabled.

• Charging port must support charging and data transfer.
