Springtime is all about renewal and rebirth. New flowers are popping up. Baseball is getting underway. The re-emerging sun is allowing us to experience at least some small amount of joy after a winter full of oppressive cold and darkness. Its also a great time to get a new phone (like the new Galaxy S25 Ultra) or pretty much any other personal gadget. Right now, Samsung is offering solid trade-in deals toward new devices. You can get up to $1,000, but its more likely youll get a couple hundred bucks, even if youre trading in a older broken phone. If you have old electronics sitting around, now is the time to swap them for something good.Galaxy S25 Ultra (Up to $900 off with trade-in)Samsung This is Samsungs latest and greatest device. It offers a massive 6.9-inch screen, an advanced three-camera array, and all the built-in AI features you could possibly want. You can opt for 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB of storage, depending on how much onboard space you really need.Samsung will give you up to $1,000 for a traded-in device, but typical savings look to be more like a few hundred, which is still a solid deal. For instance, the deal offers $180 for a used iPhone 12, which is about the same as youd get if you sold it on eBay, and you dont have to worry about definitely getting ripped off.This trade-in program does make me wonder what Samsung is doing with all those phones that get traded in. Maybe they take turns sitting on top of a giant pile of phones like a mythical dragon sitting atop a mountain of treasure. They actually probably recycle them, but the dragon thing would be fun.More Samsung devices eligible for enhanced trade-in ratesGalaxy Z Fold6 (Up to $1,000 off with trade-in plus $200 instant savings)Galaxy Z Flip6 (Upt to $700 with trade-in)Galaxy Book4 Ultra (Up to $600 off with trade-in)Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 (Up to $500 off with trade-in)Galaxy Watch Ultra (Up to $325 off with trade-in)Galaxy Watch7 (Up to $200 off with trade-in)Galaxy Buds3 Pro (Up to $150 with trade-in)
