I’ve been writing about technology for two decades and am routinely struck by how the sector swings from startling innovation to persistent repetitiveness. My areas of specialty are wearable tech, cameras, home entertainment and mobile technology.
Samsung’s latest phones, the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus and S24 Ultra, are accomplished and effective handsets. If you have been put off buying one because of the price, things just got a little better. In the U.K., and the U.S., Samsung has promotions which mean you can trade in your old phone to get money off. Trade-ins are nothing new, but there’s something special about this. Let’s start with the U.K.
If you have a Google Pixel 7 Pro, then the discount is £270, an Apple iPhone 14 earns £300 off and a Samsung Galaxy S23 gets £320 off. These are significant price cuts.It works like this: once you’ve found out what your device is worth, you apply for the discount when you purchase, entering the IMEI number and current condition.
The small print says this: “£100 based on any smartphone, in any condition. Purchased phone will be blocked if you don't send us your Trade In device. T&Cs apply.” U.K. offers are found atThere are trade-in deals to be had in the U.S., too, and some of the trade-in values are even more tempting. A Galaxy S23 Ultra, for instance, would usually attract $450 off the purchase price of a new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, for instance.
And any smartphone from another Android brand snags a $100 discount. In the States, Samsung specifies good condition . Good condition mens the device turns on and the screen works normally, the charging port works and the battery holds a charge, there are no cracks in the front, back, screen or camera lenses, activation locks are disabled, accounts are removed and the phone is factory reset. Oh, and it can’t be on a banned list.
