As Samsung gears up to unveil the highly anticipated Galaxy S25 series at next week’s Galaxy Unpacked event, the company has announced a new trade-in program for its smartphones. The updated Galaxy Trade-In program introduces two key improvements that should greatly benefit Galaxy smartphone users, allowing them to get trade-in benefits for their old phone any time of the year without making a new purchase.
So far, Samsung has only extended trade-in benefits to those purchasing a new phone through its website or app. The company has eliminated this purchase requirement with the updated Galaxy Trade-In program, allowing you to trade in your old phone without being forced to buy a new one.
