• Samsung has announced a new trade-in program for Galaxy devices.
• The updated program eliminates the purchase requirement, allowing users to trade in their old Galaxy devices without buying a new phone.
• The new trade-in program will go live in South Korea and France today and expand to more regions over the coming months.

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.
