Samsung is updating its smartphone trade-in program ahead of Galaxy Unpacked 2025. Whereas before you could only trade-in your smartphone when buying a new Galaxy phone, now you can trade-in your phone for cash. Additionally, trade-ins are accepted any time of the year, and not just when purchasing a new Samsung phone.
The new program kicks off today in South Korea and France. According to Samsung, other markets will follow suit later in 2025. By updating its trade-in policy, Samsung hopes that it's boosting the value of its Galaxy devices.
Galaxy trade-in: trade for cash @ Samsung
Samsung has updated its trade-in program so that you can trade-in your old phone for cash. Additionally, you can trade-in your device any time of year with no purchase requirement. The new policy takes effect today in South Korea and France with plans to roll it out to other regions this year.
The trade-in program will be managed by Likewize, which is a company that specializes in warranties, repairs, and trade-ins. During the trade-in process, you'll receive a quote with the value of your phone.
It's worth noting that there's one big caveat to the trade-in program. Currently, you can only trade-in Galaxy S20 series through Galaxy S23. If you own a Galaxy Z series phone, you can only trade-in the Z Fold5, Fold4, Fold3, Flip5, Flip4, and Flip3.
