Samsung announces more flexible trade-in program, no purchase required


Soon you might be able to sell your phone back to Samsung even if you’re jumping ship to Apple.

The new program is set to start today in South Korea and France, with other markets to follow later in 2025. The company says that its aim is to “boost the value of Galaxy devices” in the long-term by providing “amazing savings” through the trade-in process. Trade-ins are already available at any time in the US and most other Western markets, but in South Korea they’ve previously been locked to specific windows — usually just after major new product launches like next week’s S25 reveal, for example.
