The iconic Galaxy Note series has been retired by Samsung, making way for the Galaxy S Ultra series. If you still own a Note device, now might be the perfect opportunity to upgrade to its successor as Samsung.com is currently offering lucrative trade-in deals.
For instance, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra from 2020, which typically trades in for $200, is now valued at $600 in trade-in credit. Additionally, trade-ins of the Galaxy Note8, Note9, and Note10 are now worth $400 (compared to the usual value of around $100).
Interestingly, even the Galaxy Note3 is valued at $400 on the trade-in list. It’s important to note that these values are for unlocked phones, with carrier deals offering trade-in credits of up to $1,000 (unlocked offers max out at $750).
The latest Galaxy S24+ boasts a QHD+ display and 12GB of RAM, a noteworthy upgrade from the previous 2021-2023 models that featured FHD+ displays and 8GB of RAM. The trend of generous trade-in offers continues with this model as well.
Trade-in values for the S23+ peak at $650, while the S22+ is valued at $550 and the S21+ at $400. Surprisingly, the Galaxy Note 3 still commands a trade-in value of $400.
If you prefer the smaller Samsung Galaxy S24, the trade-in credit is limited to $550, which matches the value of the S23, while the S22 trades in for $450. Devices like the Galaxy S7 edge, S9, S9+, S10, S10+, S10 Lite, and Galaxy A51 are all eligible for a $200 trade-in credit.
The latest lineup of Galaxy Tab S flagship tablets also offers similar trade-in deals along with a free storage upgrade.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, starting at $1,200 for the 12/512GB model, features a free storage upgrade from the standard 256GB. Trade-in credits of up to $800 are available when trading in older models like the Tab S8 Ultra. Devices such as the Tab S7, Tab S7+, and Tab S7 FE command a $600 trade-in value, while the Tab S6 and Tab S6 Lite are valued at $300 (a significant increase from their usual trade-in values).
The Galaxy Tab S9+ also presents a 12/512GB base configuration post the free storage upgrade. Trade-in credits max out at $700, with the Tab S8, Tab S8+, Tab S7, Tab S7+, and Tab S7 FE offering a $600 trade-in value.
With 12GB of RAM, the Galaxy Tab S9 still offers a substantial increase in performance. However, the trade-in credit is capped at $650, whereas the Tab S7 series has a lower trade-in value of $350.
Aside from tablets, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022) recently dropped in price to $220, making it a compelling option in the mid-range segment. It competes closely with the Galaxy Tab A9+, which is currently priced at $190 for the entry-level model, providing a great value proposition with long-term support.
The OnePlus Pad, featuring the powerful Dimensity 9000 chip and a high-resolution IPS LCD display, offers a balance of performance and affordability. With quad speakers and a large battery with fast charging support, it excels in both media consumption and productivity tasks.
On the wearable front, the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 now offers competitive pricing starting at $250-$300, depending on the model’s size and connectivity options.
Introducing Wi-Fi 7, the latest iteration of local wireless technology, which promises reduced latency and improved performance compared to Wi-Fi 6. Devices like the Linksys Velop Pro 7 offer enhanced connectivity with higher bandwidth and extended coverage.
