Samsung launched a trio of new premium smartphones in January, but it’s the most expensive one that probably caught your attention.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is the best phone available today, combining incredible high-end hardware with sleek software and seven years of updates.
Its main sticking point is the $1,299.99 starting price, but Samsung’s superb trade-in deal makes it much more affordable. The company is offering an instant credit of up to $750 when you trade in an eligible phone, meaning you can get the phone for as little as $549.99.
This deal applies to all three configurations, meaning the 512GB model starts at $669.99 and the 1TB version starts at $909.99. You can also get it in one of eight available colors: green, blue, orange, purple, yellow, black and gray.
Of course, to get the maximum discount, you’ll need to trade in an old flagship phone. The Galaxy S23 Ultra and Z Flip 5 give you $750 off, as do the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. The Pixel Fold costs $600, while the Pixel 8 Pro costs $450.
However, if you don’t have a Samsung, Apple or Google phone, you’re only eligible for $100.
For the full trade-in value, the device must also turn on and boot normally, support charging and data transfer, be free of cracks, and be reset to factory settings.
Despite these caveats, this is the best possible way to get a deep discount on the best device money can buy. If you’re looking for other options or prefer other S24 phones, check out our guide to the best Galaxy S24 deals.
