Samsung reboots its trade-in program for Galaxy phones, and this one detail is an absolute game-changer

You'll no longer need to make a purchase to get some cash.

Starting now in South Korea and France, you can trade in Samsung Galaxy devices any time of the year in exchange for credit, and no purchase will be required to receive the cash. The program may not reach North American shores until later this year, but it's great news if you plan to buy a new Android phone in 2025. At this point, it seems unlikely, so I suggest keeping an eye out for Samsung Galaxy S25 preorder deals once the phones are revealed next week.
