Samsung is offering to take up to £200 off to anyone who upgrades to its latest Galaxy S25. My boyfriend did exactly that and got £80 off the price despite handing over an old, Galaxy S10
Samsung is offering to knock money off shoppers’ bills if they buy its new Galaxy S25 smartphone. As part of a new trade in deal, anyone who hands over their broken old phone will get money taken off at the checkout – which is exactly what my boyfriend took advantage of as he upgraded to the new Android device.
The trade-in offer allows anyone who buys the standard Galaxy S25, S25+, or S25 Ultra to bag a discount. This makes it one of the cheapest prices since the February 7 launch and goes up against Apple’s recent iPhone 16e launch with a cheaper £599 price at Sky.
The amount you save depends on the model you trade in, but it doesn’t have to be a new, shiny model. My boyfriend ditched his old and incredibly scratched Galaxy S10 and still managed to get £85 off his new S25 order, dropping the price to £714 for the standard 128GB device. But you could get as much as £500 off your bill if you have certain phones to trade in.

At the top of its site, Samsung says ‘£200 off’, but when you click the ‘trade-in’ button, it offers a lot more if you have a newer phone. For instance, anyone with a Galaxy S24 Ultra will get £500 off – dropping the price to £299. The offer only runs for the next couple of days, so shoppers must act before the February 25 end date to qualify for the discount at checkout.
Anyone with a S23 Ultra will get a £475 off while the standard Galaxy S23 gets a £295 discount. Anyone with an A90 model (that’s sparkling) would get £200 off. And it doesn’t have to be an older Samsung model, the discount also applies to anyone handing over a rival Apple, Google, Huawei, Oppo, and an ‘any Andorid’ option.
The process is easier than expected to follow too. When buying the phone Alex was asked to declare the condition of his trade-in phone, this emphasised the screen wasn’t cracked and the battery could still hold a decent charge.
The price was automatically taken off at the checkout, and his S25 was delivered. Once here, Samsung provided a pre-paid label to post his Galaxy S10. The only thing worth noting is you’ll need to find your own box to send it back in.
Talking about his new S25, Alex said: “The battery life hasn’t been as good as I had hoped for or expected for a brand new Samsung phone, but it fully charges in about half an hour. Overall, it’s been really fast and responsive, and I’m glad I finally made the upgrade.”
He added: “I did take me a little bit of time to set up the interfaces to how I wanted. I deleted a lot of apps I won’t use, but I suppose this will differ for each user.”
