Samsung is offering enhanced trade-in deals up to $1,000 toward new S25 smartphones, Galaxy tablets, and earbuds
Even if you have an old iPhone X hanging around from 2017, Samsung will give you some cash for it toward a new device. The post Samsung is offering enhanced trade-in deals up to $1,000 toward new S25 smartphones, Galaxy tablets, and earbuds appeared first on Popular Science.

Springtime is all about renewal and rebirth. New flowers are popping up. Baseball is getting underway. The re-emerging sun is allowing us to experience at least some small amount of joy after a winter full of oppressive cold and darkness. It’s also a great time to get a new phone (like the new Galaxy S25 Ultra) or pretty much any other personal gadget. Right now, Samsung is offering solid trade-in deals toward new devices. You can get up to $1,000, but it’s more likely you’ll get a couple hundred bucks, even if you’re trading in a older broken phone. If you have old electronics sitting around, now is the time to swap them for something good.
Galaxy S25 Ultra (Up to $900 off with trade-in)
This is Samsung’s latest and greatest device. It offers a massive 6.9-inch screen, an advanced three-camera array, and all the built-in AI features you could possibly want. You can opt for 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB of storage, depending on how much onboard space you really need.
Samsung will give you up to $1,000 for a traded-in device, but typical savings look to be more like a few hundred, which is still a solid deal. For instance, the deal offers $180 for a used iPhone 12, which is about the same as you’d get if you sold it on eBay, and you don’t have to worry about definitely getting ripped off.
This trade-in program does make me wonder what Samsung is doing with all those phones that get traded in. Maybe they take turns sitting on top of a giant pile of phones like a mythical dragon sitting atop a mountain of treasure. They actually probably recycle them, but the dragon thing would be fun.
