Everyone is excited about the launch of Samsung Galaxy S10. Samsung is launching their S-series phone on February 20th 2019 at 2pm. Most people might have been thinking that, how can we save that big amount up to $550 for the Samsung Galaxy 10 device, which has not launched yet nor pre-order started.

True, but Samsung is being generous and trying to save your money to afford this expensive Galaxy phone. Like every pre-ordered phones, you either save money or get extra accessories for free, which was a part of promotion. Exactly, this is a new kind of strategy that Samsung is using right now on S10 devices. Basically, when you reserve your spot to get the device pre-ordered before even launch, they are giving you an extra discount for booking the new device which is not even on market or has released yet.

“Reserve today and save up to $550 on your next Galaxy device”
On Samsung’s website, they have a Reserve Now button, where they want you to reserve this phone to get that extra bucks discount. So, basically you will only save this $550 when you trade in an eligible device. Exactly, some people might want to get rid of their S9 or S9+ to get this S10 model and they might receive up to $550 for the trade in value.

As you have seen above, if you reserve for new Galaxy device:

• You can save up to $550 when you trade in an eligible device.
• Phone will get delivered by March 8th while supplies last.
• You can get it first with early access to pre-order.
• Last but not least get $50 Instant credit discount on all accessories that you purchase from Samsung.com

There is always limbo on how much will you save when you trade in your eligible devices. Different company offer different amount, so it’s really hard to tell until you entered all of your old phone details in the website. When you click on find your trade in value link on Samsung Website, they are only allowing people to trade their devices from five famous brand phones. You can only trade your Samsung, Apple, LG, Google and Motorola brand phone. There are huge list of the phone model that you might be eligible, especially if you have Samsung phone than they are offering trade in option for the oldest phone is Galaxy Note 5 and above.

The highest trade in value of $550 will only go with the Galaxy Note 8, S9, S9 Plus and Note 9. By the way, this is just for the Samsung’s model. They do offer $550 for other brand latest devices as well. So, how can you get that big money for your phone.

• First, you must have a latest phone that was listed on the website.
• Second, they will ask certain questions to see whether your device works properly or not

You would need to answer 3 questions to get that trade in value:

• Does the device turn on? (The device must start up to the home screen and function normally.
• Will you factory reset your device before you ship it? (You must factory reset all personal data from your device and to disable any software locks.
• Is your device free of cracks? (The device’s screen and the camera lens should not show any cracks)

So if you meet all of the above required conditions than you are eligible for the trade in amount. As we know the first two bullets, we will select YES. What if we select NO on the third bullet option? We went and select NO and this is what we got.

We chose Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and before choosing an answer the Trade-in Discount was showing $550. We tried all Yes and No option. However, first we tried the third bullet options and all the sudden the trade in discount amount went down to $100. Therefore, it is very important that you must not have a cracked screen and camera lens. We have also tried “NO” answers on the first two bullets and it says “Not Eligible for Trade-In. No matter you say NO for either first or second bullet, you won’t be eligible for any trade-in value.

Now time to check for Apple devices. The oldest model they are offering for iphone 5S and iphone SE for $50. Are you kidding? Why there is still value for iphone 5s and not galaxy s5? Anyway Apple always have a high resell price on their devices.

The highest value for the Apple models are iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XS, iPhone XR. All of these models will get $550 trade-in value. When you select NO on the third bullet question on “Is your device free of cracks?” you will still get $250 on iphone. That’s not bad still.

Here comes LG, only five models of LG phones are eligible for this offer. The oldest device is LG G5 @ $150. However, LG V20 and V30 are also valued for $150. LG V40, the latest model which is eligible at $550.

Google phone, also called Pixel Phone. Six models of Pixel phones are eligible for this offer. The lowest one is Pixel and Pixel XL for $150 and Pixel 3/Pixel 3 XL for $550.

There are only five models of motorola phones which are eligible for trade-in. Really disappointing for motorola user, they offer only $150 for all five models which are Motorola Z, Motorola Z2 Play, Motorola Z2 Force, Motorola Z3 Play and Motorola Z3.

At last, on the reserve page, Samsung want you to select Carrier for your New Galaxy. The options are Unlocked, verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and US Cellular. You might want to read our previous articles about the release date, rumors and leaks of New Galaxy device. Click here

Also, expecting to see three models of Galaxy S10 – Galaxy S10 Lite, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus. Since, we are seeing this kinds or trends, we can expect that from Samsung as well.
