In the latest move to entice customers, Samsung has introduced new trade-in deals for its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Ultra. These offers, available in the U.S. and U.K., provide substantial savings for those looking to upgrade or switch to the latest Samsung device.
U.S. Trade-in Deals
Current trade-in deals for the Galaxy S25 Ultra in the U.S. offer savings up to $1,000, depending on the carrier and plan. Key deals include:
- T-Mobile: Up to $1,000 off the Galaxy S25 Ultra with an eligible trade-in on Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plans.
- AT&T: The Galaxy S25 Ultra can be purchased for approximately $8.34/month instead of $36.12/month with eligible unlimited plans and trade-in. Discounts up to $1,000 are available with trade-ins, applied as bill credits over 36 months.
- Best Buy: Offers $250 off the Galaxy S25 Ultra with additional trade-in savings and an included Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
Although specific expiration dates are not universally stated, these deals are described as "limited time" or "current" as of late July 2025. To avoid missing out, it is advisable to check directly with carriers or stores for the most current and precise expiration dates.
U.K. Trade-in Deals
In the U.K., Samsung has launched a standalone trade-in program that offers store credit for up to five years. The current promotion provides the following trade-in prices for various Samsung devices:
- Galaxy S25 Ultra: Current trade-in price is £650 ($887.64), compared to £500 ($669.72) in June. The code "100TI" boosts trade-in prices by £100 ($133.94).
- Galaxy S24 Ultra: Current trade-in price is £553 ($740.71), compared to £581 ($778.22) in June.
- Galaxy S23 Ultra: Current trade-in price is £486 ($650.97), compared to £449 ($601.41) in June.
- Galaxy S23 Plus: Current trade-in price is £357 ($478.18), compared to £333 ($446.04) in June.
- Galaxy S22 Ultra: Current trade-in price is £324 ($433.98), compared to £341 ($456.75) in June.
The new trade-in program accepts a wider range of devices, including Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo, Sony, and other handsets not typically accepted by Samsung. However, the specifics of the trade-in program, such as the exact trade-in values for different devices, have not been detailed.
Additional Offers
Samsung is also offering a 10% discount on the Galaxy S25 Ultra with the code "7DAYS", amounting to a £124.90 ($167.30) discount in the U.K. This offer expires on July 29th.
The trade-in program is a solid option for people looking to lock in a decent trade-in price to use later. Phones, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra, rapidly decrease in value, so sitting on an unused device is rarely a good move.
It is worth noting that trade-in prices in the U.S. are often higher compared to Europe. For instance, the current trade-in price for the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max is £755 ($1011.28) in the U.K., compared to $999 in the U.S. Similarly, the current trade-in price for the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max is £445 ($596.05) in the U.K., compared to $500 in the U.S.
iPhone owners looking to switch to the Galaxy S25 Ultra may receive more for their trade-in than on the secondary market for the same phones.
In summary, Samsung's new trade-in deals offer significant savings for those looking to upgrade to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. With deals varying by region and carrier, it is essential to check directly with your preferred retailer for the most up-to-date information.
- The latest Samsung trade-in deals for smartphones like the OnePlus 13, Google Pixel 9 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, alongside flagship models such as the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, and the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, represent an opportunity for customers to save on gadgets that incorporate the latest technology.
- To compare trade-in values for various smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, Samsung Galaxy S23 series, and rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy Note series, or the latest offerings from brands like OnePlus, Google Pixel, and competitors like Xiaomi, Realme, and Oppo, Samsung's trade-in program provides a valuable resource for those considering an upgrade.
