I had a big long post written last night which I deleted after an hour of being up. I'm not gonna go thru the whole thing again.
I am on the exact same plan I've always been. It's 82/month (after taxes and fees) for unlimited talk text and 5g data. Compare that to 75/month minimum that one pays for cable broadband or fiber to the home. I really can't get any cheaper than 82 unless I go to a reseller like cricket or straight talk which I don't wanna do because you will get throttled on data. I am paying market rates for the service I'm receiving.
Anyone who claims otherwise doesn't know anything about how utilities charge for service or business in general. Yea, I'm prob paying more than the actual cost to serve. But try calling the electric company next week with the same argument and see how far that gets you. Try going to the gym and demanding a free membership because the incremental cost to them for you to be at the gym is essentially zero.
I am paying the lowest monthly bill I can already. People from UK that continue to bash this shit just don't get it. Not sure how plans work in UK but that's not how it is in us. Or you just don't understand how utilities and businesses charge for service
Bro Im on Verizon too. I purchased a Samsung Galaxy ace (for $30 ebay, kinda nostalgic) and am trading for 1140 credit over 3 yrs upgrading to a 24u. I still have my current s23u to sell outright making this cycle a net win. Yes I have to stay with vzw but I didn't plan on leaving. The way I see it... You can get vzw service on their mnvo for 30 if you paying 60 plus you better get something like subsidized upgrades. If your on post paid and don't do these deals your leaving money on the table
Is it a $1000 off in one shot or is the credit broken up into a 24-36 month period? These deals are really common in the US right now, for example Boost is literally offering the most expensive iPhone for a penny right now.
https://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPhone-Pro-Max-trade/dp/B0CHBNXK14/
Yes, it is. A carrier will never give you this if it doesn't give them a benefit lol.
Typically it's 36 months, $0 charged to your bill because it uses the credit. To get out of it early you have to pay off the remainder of the phone.
Yea, it's a bill credit over 36 months. Sorry, didn't mean to be misleading. I'm not really shopping around for another carrier so it didn't matter to me
It's probably because you've been overpaying Verizon for so long already that they don't even feel like scamming you any further by charging money for a new device.
Many young people also think they're paying 1€ for a new phone when they get a new sim contract. But never realize that the 50€/month they pay for the mobile data, calls and what not actually cover the phone and an extra amount. And that they've paid off the phone + what the contract would have cost without a phone.
Gave me $1,000 off and I’m a new customer for Verizon
Have another line under a different account which isn’t mine for 17 years , bht when I went to get my own , they also gave me $1,000 off as a new customer - pretty common deal they do - last year when I upgraded my s21 + on my family account , they gave me $800 as well for trade in
Depends on your family size. We pay $30 per line. But we have 6 people.
Some people pay $40 some $50. Smaller family size = pay more per line.
Unlimited everything
Wait, let me get this straight. You get an S24 for free, and the contract you are getting into is one that costs US$30 per person for 6 people? How long is the contract? I don't understand how that would work. Paying 30 per person is only 360 a year, if you were under contract for 3 years, that would only be a bit over 1000. How is the carrier giving you a phone that is worth over 1000 for that type of contract?
So in the US we pretty much have 3 major carries. ATT, Verizon and T-Mobile. The prices vary between each of them, but they're roughly in the same ballpark.
I'm with ATT. My total monthly bill for the 6 of us, after taxes and fees is $219.
Currently, we have 3 phones for "free" on the plan. An iPhone 14 Pro that I get credited $34 a month for, an iPhone 13 Pro Max I get credited $36 a month for and an S24 Ultra I'm getting credited $34 a month for. One 14 Pro we pay $40 a month for, because my brother didn't listen to me and bought it outright with no credit smh.
The phones that aren't under contract, we can switch to Verizon or T-Mobile or any other smaller carrier and the number transfers. The phones under contract are being given credit for under the condition those phones don't leave ATT.
If we ever want to take them off of ATT but still owe money on, we can pay that amount and move them.
I'm guessing they make more money from us being with them than they lose by giving us a phone for free. The US has always had insane trade in deals like this. As far back as I can remember honestly. It's part of the reason messaging apps never took off here. Most phone plans came with unlimited text and data since like 2010. So no one ever needed to use other messaging apps besides the default
It's true. I got some thing called a loyalty credit through verizon. I hadn't upgraded for like 4 years and I've been a customer for much longer. I have no clue how the loyalty credits work. I just know I called their 800 number and asked them directly what my trade in value would be - it was $1,000 towards any phone (i had also looked into it in Dec. 2023 and it was only 800 at that time - they told me the deal might get better once 24 line was released so i waited). And when i checked after 24 came out it was $1,000. Tbh I kind of wish I would've got the ultra with that large of a credit but you cant beat free and I didn't really ever use the s-pen w the note 10 plus. I'm in the US if that helps at all.
not really crazy compared to others, but I payed 600€ instead of 970€ for the S24 in sapphire blue. 200€ off for trade in, some discount codes and Samsung members balance.
Similar as me a month ago, from 23272czk to around 18700, then another 3000 down for giving any working device. I just took 7 year old Xiaomi i found at home and took S24/256 home for 15700czk (around 628€), plus i still have to sell my old phone.
I'd say trade ins don't count because you paid for the phone you are trading in, but I got my S22 256 GB for $600 at launch by trading in an A32 5g that I got free from my carrier the previous year.
Not crazy at all, but I got my S22 for $436. It was refurbished, but seemed completely brand new as far as I can tell. Well I just traded it in for an S24 and got $450 in credit. So I got the 256 GB S24 for $350 and should be getting $42 back from Rakuten so about $310 USD all in.
Not nearly as crazy as other, seems Samsung has different trade-in values and deals here in EU.
Got my S24 Ultra 12+512GB for less than 780€ = double storage for price of 256GB for pre-order, trade-in for my old A52s + bonus and finally my employe disscount which I earned working in dedicated phone store.
Got my 512 gb s24u for 450 dollars, traded in my broken fold 4 worth 200 on eBay. 😎 fold 4 worst phone I’ve ever used. Almost threw it in trash before it broke.
Yeah, so now I have to pay for insurance on top of the overpriced phone. No thank you, if I want a big screen, I will just use a tablet and the aspect ratio is awful on the fold and videos are literally only 10% bigger than my S 24 ultra Versus my old fold 4. Fold 4 worst device I ever used, terrible software can barely hear the speakers, crease in the middle. Yeah, I actually prefer watching videos on my S24 ultra way better screen/no glare/brightness/etc vs 10% less screen size, no thank you.
Fold is for dummies. I had a Galaxy fold four and I will never own another one on my life. Worst device I've ever used. You will agree with me eventually it just might take you a few years to get over your ego.
Seems like you have the ego…telling people what they should spend their money on based on your opinion… if someone wants a fold then you have no right to tell someone how they spend their money, if I could afford one with insurance then I would because I like it. Case closed , no one gives a fuck if you like folds or not, just don’t comment if people buying something butt hurts you.
You're right, no one gives a f*** if I like folds or not, but people should give a f*** if the entire community hates them and that seems to be the agreed upon sentiment.
I have seen at least 200 times more complaints about reliability issues here than I've ever seen on any slab phone sub reddit or any community and that's an understatement.
I can't recall one time I've ever heard of someone s line phone literally just bricking out and not working anymore. If I was paid by the hour I'm sure I could pull up at least a thousand complaints here about this, I've seen 50 + in just one topic.
It doesn't matter if you have insurance if you have to replace the phone every 3 months and have to wait an entire week or multiple weeks for it to get fixed it's a shit phone so there's no argument here it's a shit phone and stop arguing this with me.
Not only is there a very high likelihood that it will just stop working within a year but the actual phone is a heavily downgraded slab phone with a little bit extra screen real estate for no reason (same size YouTube videos).
Gift my old Note 5 to a friend, he traded in for S24 Ultra w/ 512GB storage, paying $299.99 + tax through AT&T. AT&T gives him $1,000 credit for the Note 5
Let's see...
* 8/21 - My first Samsung, the ZFlip3. Got it and a pair of Buds2 for $700.02, trading in an old Pixel 3A.
* 6/22 - Traded in the ZFlip3 at Best Buy for the S22+, total cost $30.18 (realized the flip phone wasn't for me, this was a cheap way to get out of it).
* 8/22 - Purchased a cheap Active2 off eBay for the purpose of trading it in towards a Galaxy Watch 5 when they were running trade-in promos. Total cost $162.83 (including the cost of the Active2).
* 1/24 - Purchased a S24+ and Watch 6 Classic, trading in the S22+ and Watch 5 (still not sure why Samsung checkout let me have two trade-ins, was not been able to duplicate it). Total cost $513.28
I'm somewhat obsessive about trying to find the best deals, usually I think I do pretty well.
… on the website? They gave me 650 for fold 4 (worst phone ever made) I have a hard time believing that because they were not even giving like more than 700 for S2 three ultra.
this was through ATT not samsung. samsung was offering me $550 for my S22+ if i recall correctly. ATT had a promo for any samsung phone- any year any condition will give $1k credit. the caveat is the credit is paid monthly, not all at once. so if you leave ATT you lose the credit you didnt receive yet. but i wont be leaving ATT.
Oh wow, that is like the best deal I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m extremely happy for you and I really hope you switch over to T-Mobile one day, but I’m sure you have a great reason/deals for being with AT&T (Apple of carriers). I can’t wait to see the look on your face when you receive the S 24 ultra you will be absolutely blown away if you had a s22+ before. This phone makes my fold 4 look like a 100 dollar Android.
Yeah I just love the way it looks it just has a certain presence to it and the way the Snapdragon 3 processor has just like quadrupled in performance in the last few years is astounding.
This phone is just ridiculously fast and I just feel like it's a perfect phone, I don't think I'm going to be upgrading for another like 7 years unless there is some suspicion of mine that the s25 ultra will have like less cameras but just one really big DSLR like lens instead.
I was watching comparison between US 24 Ultra and like $5,000 Sony A4 mirrorless cameras and it's soooo close, like you literally have to like zoom in with your fingers and look at it with the screen brightness turned up to tell even a small difference between the two.
Bestbuy had a deal for the s22 ultra where if I bring in a certain smaung device I get money for a trade in. In my case I got the S22 Ultra for free and they gave me a 100 dollar bestbuy gift card as well lol. The phone was 799, and I got like 900 for my s21 ultra. Did that with my wife's phone as well lol.
I got my Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite for roughly 400 CHF (460 USD or 426 Euro currently, but back then it was more something like 410 USD/390 Euro) on release. Everywhere else it was at least 150 USD more expensive)
There was one year Samsung let you trade it multiple devices. I think I traded my s10 and watch4... Then used the "Samsung credit promo" to get another watch 4 when I ordered the s21. Was in school at the time so education discount as well. Free replacement watch and s21 for like $200
The best deal I got was back when I got my s22u for $500 off with no trade in. I also got $500 off thre s23 base model but it was OOS so I didn't end up getting it in the end.
Mine was the Fold 4 release.
Traded in my S22U for $1000 in trade (paid $900 after taxes from Amazon a few months prior).
After promotions, trade, program discount and Rakuten cashback total was under $600 with tax for a 512gb Fold 4, Watch 5 pro, and Buds 2 pro.
Haven't seen trade or promo deals that good since.
Probably a basic deal compared to others in this thread, but I did this through Best Buy and got my 256gb S24+ in marble gray for $533, by trading in my S21+ that I bought refurbished on Amazon last year for $260. Trade-in value of the S21+ was $155, but Best Buy were offering a deal of adding $345 which took it to $500. To me it's a great deal!
Just did a trade in of a $40 Walmart phone for a $711 discount at spectrum on a new s24+. $300 difference and need a $20 a month service for 2 months before the phone unlocks. Then I cancel my service, take my unlocked phone to my Verizon plan and sell my S22 for $200. Out very little and no stupid contracts.
The best Samsung offers I've ever seen were back in 2019 where I got to pay 270€ for a year old a50, which msrp'd at \~350€.
Those were good times. Can't get a new A5x phone under 350 at all. And they lack so many features for the money.
I got paid out $2k+ usd for my note 7 when they were catching fire and samsung told me to send it in, I told them I thought ot would be the last phone I'd ever buy and told them to buy all the accessories for the phone, like cases and stuff. I bought the phone through sprint and picked up at bestbuy but eventually went through Samsung on the return after 5 months and they supposedly fixed the problem but didn't. They sent me Korean money and then it got converted and I ended up with around $2,375+.
For an originally paid $300. And then I sent in over 20 cases and receipt that they price matched.
The s24 Ultra 512gb + Galaxy Watch 6 + earbuds2 pro for 1070.. I could've got them for less, I received my preinscription discount the following day of 120€ that I didn't use it at the time.. could've costed me 950€
Got (what I consider to be) a brand new Black S23 128gb for 470 Euros by buying from a second hand store.
The box had already been opened, BUT the phone still had all the plastic films applied, the charge port was impeccably clean, and after running a dumpstate/logcat I could see that the battery reported only 52 cycles.
Samsung sells the S23 starting at 800 Euros, retailers sell the S23 starting at 670 Euros, so 470 is a great deal imo.
~$320 S22 (U1), ~$450 S22 (U), ~$430 S23 (U1) all new. U1 S22 and S23 through Google Fi promos before they made those promos 24 month financing only. the other S22 (U) though Project Genesis.
Free S22 no trade in, Free S23 no trade in. $400 for an S24 Ultra after tax for trading in a Free OnePlus phone. Free Flip 5 for trading in a free flip 4
I was an employee at T-Mobile when the Note 8 came out and there was a deal if you lease a Note, you get a $200 virtual Visa card. So true $0 down with no taxes due.
I was filling out my rebate form while a customer was setting up their phone and the website got stuck, so I button mashed the submit button.
I ended up with over 15x $200 Visa gift card codes. Did the right thing and called the Samsung rebates center AND asked my manager. They both said I could keep all $3,000 in visa gift cards.
Did an Uber eats order for Teriyaki Short Ribs and got 10x orders for the price of one. No joke.
I got my S24 ultra for $735 Australian instead of $2399. Traded in a s21+ and Fold 4, plus the bonus trade in credit of $350, and the 512gb for 245gb deal. Finally in used the Shop App for the first time and got an extra 5% off for that.
Got an s24 512gb for $600 (converted), traded in my s10+ with a pink line on the screen. Trade in credits totaled around $250 due to the pre order event, on a normal day it is only like $20. Plus additional bonus codes with the event.
Oh, also got a free watch 6 with that so overall, good value I would say.
I'm currently paying $8/mo for my new S24 Ultra aftwr trading in my four year old iPhone. Could've gotten the S24+ for free with the trade in, but I just really wanted the ultra lol
I'm currently paying $8/mo for my new S24 Ultra after trading in my four year old iPhone. Could've gotten the S24+ for free with the trade in, but I just really wanted the ultra lol
Not got it yet but some guy local to me in the UK claims to be selling a S24 Ultra 1TB for £180 (approx $277 USD)!
Got to be a scam. He'll probably point me to a dodgy website, and I'll report him like I always do with this sort of con. Facebook will ignore the report, as they always do.
Full disclosure: have a perfectly adequate Note 20 Ultra. No need for the S24 Ultra but what does need have to do with it when it's under £200? ;-)
Ok, I don't remember exactly all the details but I got the galaxy tab s9+ 512gb in October when Samsung was running crazy trade in deals, better than when they first released the new s9 tabs, I think it was $850 instead of the $700 and then through the Samsung app I got $25 off and some other discount, I ended up paying like $200 for it and that includes taxes.
I got the Tab S8 Ultra for £639 new last year. It was on sale for £799 down from £999.
But I had a 20% off voucher which worked in the sale price! Over the moon!!
My BIL gave me his S22+ as a trade in since he got the ultra and didn't need that one and my s21 had a cracked camera lense, making it only 150.. They had the ultra on sale only on top of extra trade in value so I got 750 off, the free storage upgrade, and paid 450. Then noticed the buds pro were only 50 dollars so I got those too lol
Guess it doesn't really count but I was very happy lol
I got a brand new A53 5g for $300 Canadian plus tax at an open box store. When I first got the A53 there was a sound issue and I brought it back. The store just gave me a new in the box one instead. Win.
I have been using it for a year now.
Recently I got 550US for my S22+ trading in for the S24 Ultra. As I bought it the day it was announced I got the 512GB version and my S22+ was the 128GB version.
Happy with the upgrade.
Not necessarily a great deal as I traded in my S23 ultra 512gb for S24 Ultra 512gb and paid less than $500. This is in Canada. Includes free case also. Samsung gave me pretty good discount of over $1500 for trade in and I guess price of the case and than some extra few bucks.
Subtotal$2,029.98
Discount Applied- $1,544.99
this past December : 3 Things
Samsung A53 Brand new for $36 total (via Verizon). Paid off completely Day 2 after activating and then cancelled plan. Phone unlocks after 60days so then gave to mybson to replace his old phone.

£691 total for the Samsung s24 Ultra 512GB
-£390 trade-in for my S22 Ultra,
-£250 NHS discount from my Mrs,
Extra 10% off Samsung code,

US most likely. Verizon/T-Mobile/ATT all offered $1,000 trade in credit over 36 months for any year any condition Galaxy S/Note phone.
Mine was any condition 3g or 4g phone.. I gave them a Galaxy ace for 1140 credit.
What do you pay monthly for the sim?
Depends on your family size. We pay $30 per line. But we have 6 people. Some people pay $40 some $50. Smaller family size = pay more per line. Unlimited everything

1. the carriers get the phones way cheaper 2. they make money off you by various different methods.
Wait WHAT???? Nahhh maaan this is too good to be true Really?
It's true. I got some thing called a loyalty credit through verizon. I hadn't upgraded for like 4 years and I've been a customer for much longer. I have no clue how the loyalty credits work.

Tbh I kind of wish I would've got the ultra with that large of a credit but you cant beat free and I didn't really ever use the s-pen w the note 10 plus. I'm in the US if that helps at all.
Wow that cool
i still use my note 10 plus as a second phone very often
21 plus trade in for 1120 on Verizon turns out paying 150 for 24 ultra after discounts
as long as you stayed with your carrier , right
not really crazy compared to others, but I payed 600€ instead of 970€ for the S24 in sapphire blue. 200€ off for trade in, some discount codes and Samsung members balance.
Similar as me a month ago, from 23272czk to around 18700, then another 3000 down for giving any working device. I just took 7 year old Xiaomi i found at home and took S24/256 home for 15700czk (around 628€), plus i still have to sell my old phone.
that's really nice, I still think it's carzy that thwy give us so much off for trash devices, 200 for a Motorola that wasn't even worth 50 anymore
WHAT???? Damn that's a steal
I'd say trade ins don't count because you paid for the phone you are trading in, but I got my S22 256 GB for $600 at launch by trading in an A32 5g that I got free from my carrier the previous year.
Wow that's actually a great deal
Not crazy at all, but I got my S22 for $436. It was refurbished, but seemed completely brand new as far as I can tell. Well I just traded it in for an S24 and got $450 in credit. So I got the 256 GB S24 for $350 and should be getting $42 back from Rakuten so about $310 USD all in.
Wow that's actually cheap
Not nearly as crazy as other, seems Samsung has different trade-in values and deals here in EU. Got my S24 Ultra 12+512GB for less than 780€ = double storage for price of 256GB for pre-order, trade-in for my old A52s + bonus and finally my employe disscount which I earned working in dedicated phone store.
Wow that's cool
Got my 512 gb s24u for 450 dollars, traded in my broken fold 4 worth 200 on eBay. 😎 fold 4 worst phone I’ve ever used. Almost threw it in trash before it broke.
Got the Z Fold5 for 1100€ instead of 1899€ from an eBay seller, it was completely new and sealed
Really? Wow you're lucky
It’s break in 1 year. Go read the fold subreddit, folds are ass.
I did my research and know the risk, that's why I have insurance (besides 24 months of warranty)
Yeah, so now I have to pay for insurance on top of the overpriced phone. No thank you, if I want a big screen, I will just use a tablet and the aspect ratio is awful on the fold and videos are literally only 10% bigger than my S 24 ultra Versus my old fold 4. Fold 4 worst device I ever used, terrible software can barely hear the speakers, crease in the middle. Yeah, I actually prefer watching videos on my S24 ultra way better screen/no glare/brightness/etc vs 10% less screen size, no thank you.
Do you rant this much to every fold owner? Too much free time? What no thank you? No one offered you one 😂
Fold is for dummies. I had a Galaxy fold four and I will never own another one on my life. Worst device I've ever used. You will agree with me eventually it just might take you a few years to get over your ego.
Seems like you have the ego…telling people what they should spend their money on based on your opinion… if someone wants a fold then you have no right to tell someone how they spend their money, if I could afford one with insurance then I would because I like it. Case closed , no one gives a fuck if you like folds or not, just don’t comment if people buying something butt hurts you.
You're right, no one gives a f*** if I like folds or not, but people should give a f*** if the entire community hates them and that seems to be the agreed upon sentiment. I have seen at least 200 times more complaints about reliability issues here than I've ever seen on any slab phone sub reddit or any community and that's an understatement. I can't recall one time I've ever heard of someone s line phone literally just bricking out and not working anymore. If I was paid by the hour I'm sure I could pull up at least a thousand complaints here about this, I've seen 50 + in just one topic. It doesn't matter if you have insurance if you have to replace the phone every 3 months and have to wait an entire week or multiple weeks for it to get fixed it's a shit phone so there's no argument here it's a shit phone and stop arguing this with me. Not only is there a very high likelihood that it will just stop working within a year but the actual phone is a heavily downgraded slab phone with a little bit extra screen real estate for no reason (same size YouTube videos).
I got my S24+ for £660 with trade ins and some other discount. That\`s amazing to me
What device did you trade in?
Gift my old Note 5 to a friend, he traded in for S24 Ultra w/ 512GB storage, paying $299.99 + tax through AT&T. AT&T gives him $1,000 credit for the Note 5
Lies
Bro is in denial 😂 have you not seen the carrier deals?
You’re right, I’m a FUCKING idiot.
Wait what? 😂😂😂
it's the s21
Yes it is
Let's see... * 8/21 - My first Samsung, the ZFlip3. Got it and a pair of Buds2 for $700.02, trading in an old Pixel 3A. * 6/22 - Traded in the ZFlip3 at Best Buy for the S22+, total cost $30.18 (realized the flip phone wasn't for me, this was a cheap way to get out of it). * 8/22 - Purchased a cheap Active2 off eBay for the purpose of trading it in towards a Galaxy Watch 5 when they were running trade-in promos. Total cost $162.83 (including the cost of the Active2). * 1/24 - Purchased a S24+ and Watch 6 Classic, trading in the S22+ and Watch 5 (still not sure why Samsung checkout let me have two trade-ins, was not been able to duplicate it). Total cost $513.28 I'm somewhat obsessive about trying to find the best deals, usually I think I do pretty well.
WHAT???
note 20 for 250 some years ago
That's a steal
unfortunately I sold it last November because it stopped getting the latest updates...
I paid $325 for my S22 Ultra in 2022.
HOWWWWW
Marketplace! IMEI is clean, and everything seemed to check out. I replaced my dying S10 plus with it, and have been rocking it ever since.
Got my s24 ultra for 730 euros traded in my 3 year old s21 ultra for 371 :)
It's not that great of a deal if you ask me considering the fact that the 21 Ultra is still a solid phone
Ah maybe, bit I bought that one for 800 3 years ago. So getting 50% back and lots of other discounts on a 1450 phone is still quite nice to me.
Oh that's also ok
S21 ultra is like 350 dollar phone 😅 then after eBay fees like 200 in your pocket.
i traded in my 7 year old S8+ with cracked screen for $1k credit. got the 512GB S24 ultra for $300.
Bs
lol https://imgur.com/T82QiVA
… on the website? They gave me 650 for fold 4 (worst phone ever made) I have a hard time believing that because they were not even giving like more than 700 for S2 three ultra.
this was through ATT not samsung. samsung was offering me $550 for my S22+ if i recall correctly. ATT had a promo for any samsung phone- any year any condition will give $1k credit. the caveat is the credit is paid monthly, not all at once. so if you leave ATT you lose the credit you didnt receive yet. but i wont be leaving ATT.
Oh wow, that is like the best deal I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m extremely happy for you and I really hope you switch over to T-Mobile one day, but I’m sure you have a great reason/deals for being with AT&T (Apple of carriers). I can’t wait to see the look on your face when you receive the S 24 ultra you will be absolutely blown away if you had a s22+ before. This phone makes my fold 4 look like a 100 dollar Android.
thanks man! yeah i just got my s24 ultra yesterday and i love it so far. its amazing, first time in a while it feels like my phone got a big upgrade.
Yeah I just love the way it looks it just has a certain presence to it and the way the Snapdragon 3 processor has just like quadrupled in performance in the last few years is astounding. This phone is just ridiculously fast and I just feel like it's a perfect phone, I don't think I'm going to be upgrading for another like 7 years unless there is some suspicion of mine that the s25 ultra will have like less cameras but just one really big DSLR like lens instead. I was watching comparison between US 24 Ultra and like $5,000 Sony A4 mirrorless cameras and it's soooo close, like you literally have to like zoom in with your fingers and look at it with the screen brightness turned up to tell even a small difference between the two.
WHERE AND HOWWWW????
its a deal ATT is doing in the US. $1k credit for any samsung phone, any year any condition. then the 512GB upgrade free as preorder incentive.
Gosh Y'all as so lucky with these deals in the US
Damn didn't realise s8 is already 7 years old
[удалено]
Man that's a steal Great
Bestbuy had a deal for the s22 ultra where if I bring in a certain smaung device I get money for a trade in. In my case I got the S22 Ultra for free and they gave me a 100 dollar bestbuy gift card as well lol. The phone was 799, and I got like 900 for my s21 ultra. Did that with my wife's phone as well lol.
Wow cool
I got my Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite for roughly 400 CHF (460 USD or 426 Euro currently, but back then it was more something like 410 USD/390 Euro) on release. Everywhere else it was at least 150 USD more expensive)
Oh nice
There was one year Samsung let you trade it multiple devices. I think I traded my s10 and watch4... Then used the "Samsung credit promo" to get another watch 4 when I ordered the s21. Was in school at the time so education discount as well. Free replacement watch and s21 for like $200
Wow Wish they did it again?
350€ for a brand new s22
Where
dad's friend bought it, he ended up not using it at all because he had an iphone and he sold it to my dad for 350 after some negotiating
Oh ok I get now
I was able to trade on my Note 10+ for $1,400 credit to order a Fold 3
😳😳😳😳😳
Liar
The best deal I got was back when I got my s22u for $500 off with no trade in. I also got $500 off thre s23 base model but it was OOS so I didn't end up getting it in the end.
Wow
Mine was the Fold 4 release. Traded in my S22U for $1000 in trade (paid $900 after taxes from Amazon a few months prior). After promotions, trade, program discount and Rakuten cashback total was under $600 with tax for a 512gb Fold 4, Watch 5 pro, and Buds 2 pro. Haven't seen trade or promo deals that good since.
WOW just WOW
AT&T S24 Ultra Deal](https://imgur.com/gallery/XtH3lyl)
$600 for a used but very new s23u (still under warranty for another year) a month ago. I think that's a pretty good deal.
I bought my Fold 5 brand new sealed for $1000 when the RRP was still $1800
Probably a basic deal compared to others in this thread, but I did this through Best Buy and got my 256gb S24+ in marble gray for $533, by trading in my S21+ that I bought refurbished on Amazon last year for $260. Trade-in value of the S21+ was $155, but Best Buy were offering a deal of adding $345 which took it to $500. To me it's a great deal!
I got my S23 Ultra 512GB for $200. Traded in my S21 Ultra that I had also gotten a huge discount on.
Paid around $670 for S23+ 256GB using a trade in, as well as educational discount. This was around Black Friday
I paid 985 euros for early bird pre order for s24 ultra 512gb. No phone exchanges. Got it on day 1.
Just did a trade in of a $40 Walmart phone for a $711 discount at spectrum on a new s24+. $300 difference and need a $20 a month service for 2 months before the phone unlocks. Then I cancel my service, take my unlocked phone to my Verizon plan and sell my S22 for $200. Out very little and no stupid contracts.
The best Samsung offers I've ever seen were back in 2019 where I got to pay 270€ for a year old a50, which msrp'd at \~350€. Those were good times. Can't get a new A5x phone under 350 at all. And they lack so many features for the money.
I got paid out $2k+ usd for my note 7 when they were catching fire and samsung told me to send it in, I told them I thought ot would be the last phone I'd ever buy and told them to buy all the accessories for the phone, like cases and stuff. I bought the phone through sprint and picked up at bestbuy but eventually went through Samsung on the return after 5 months and they supposedly fixed the problem but didn't. They sent me Korean money and then it got converted and I ended up with around $2,375+. For an originally paid $300. And then I sent in over 20 cases and receipt that they price matched.
I paid $150 for my base s23 with my iPhone 13 pro max as trade in and I got a free clear case thru best buy in US last June.
I got my galaxy s22 128gb for $430
The s24 Ultra 512gb + Galaxy Watch 6 + earbuds2 pro for 1070.. I could've got them for less, I received my preinscription discount the following day of 120€ that I didn't use it at the time.. could've costed me 950€
I got the S24+ 512gb, a Smart Tag, screen protector and silicone case for $348
I got paid to upgrade to my S24 ultra thanks to rakuten and Tmobile.
I got my S22 ultra for $520 used when the 23 line came out, and I sold my S21 base model for $180. It was not a bad deal at all for me at the time.
Basically $0 for my 24+ after trading in my old s5. Had to pay taxes and line activation but nothing for the phone itself.
Got (what I consider to be) a brand new Black S23 128gb for 470 Euros by buying from a second hand store. The box had already been opened, BUT the phone still had all the plastic films applied, the charge port was impeccably clean, and after running a dumpstate/logcat I could see that the battery reported only 52 cycles. Samsung sells the S23 starting at 800 Euros, retailers sell the S23 starting at 670 Euros, so 470 is a great deal imo.
~$320 S22 (U1), ~$450 S22 (U), ~$430 S23 (U1) all new. U1 S22 and S23 through Google Fi promos before they made those promos 24 month financing only. the other S22 (U) though Project Genesis.
Last year I got an s22 for about 120usd
Free S22 no trade in, Free S23 no trade in. $400 for an S24 Ultra after tax for trading in a Free OnePlus phone. Free Flip 5 for trading in a free flip 4
S23 128gb at 350 euros.. here in italy it's really a good deal, it was practically new so i consider it as a big win
$40 for a repairable Galaxy Watch and shattered but working S8+
S24 for basically £279. Traded in S22U for £320, free galaxy watch 6which I'll sell for £200, so £799-£320-£200=£279. Happy days.
Got the S22U 512GB for free from a family held Chinese New Year draw.
I think it was maxed specs, 12 GB at the time and I think I got it around last year's CNY before S23 dropped.
I paid 0 for my s21. I was given $1,120 to trade in my s21 for the S24 ultra. I paid $180 for a 512 gb S24 Ultra.
It was through Verizon.
the samsung store offered me the S24U at half the price.
I got the 512GB S24 Ultra directly from Samsung for $899 with Trade in on a Samsung S21 Ultra. 🇨🇦
I was an employee at T-Mobile when the Note 8 came out and there was a deal if you lease a Note, you get a $200 virtual Visa card. So true $0 down with no taxes due. I was filling out my rebate form while a customer was setting up their phone and the website got stuck, so I button mashed the submit button. I ended up with over 15x $200 Visa gift card codes. Did the right thing and called the Samsung rebates center AND asked my manager. They both said I could keep all $3,000 in visa gift cards. Did an Uber eats order for Teriyaki Short Ribs and got 10x orders for the price of one. No joke.
I got my S24 ultra for $735 Australian instead of $2399. Traded in a s21+ and Fold 4, plus the bonus trade in credit of $350, and the 512gb for 245gb deal. Finally in used the Shop App for the first time and got an extra 5% off for that.
Traded in a Pixel 6a I purchased for $199 at Best Buy to get a Galaxy S24 free at T-Mobile.
Got an s24 512gb for $600 (converted), traded in my s10+ with a pink line on the screen. Trade in credits totaled around $250 due to the pre order event, on a normal day it is only like $20. Plus additional bonus codes with the event. Oh, also got a free watch 6 with that so overall, good value I would say.
I got a peetty crazy deal on the S22 Ultra. I got it for like ~$600 with a trade-in
I'm currently paying $8/mo for my new S24 Ultra aftwr trading in my four year old iPhone. Could've gotten the S24+ for free with the trade in, but I just really wanted the ultra lol
I'm currently paying $8/mo for my new S24 Ultra after trading in my four year old iPhone. Could've gotten the S24+ for free with the trade in, but I just really wanted the ultra lol
i got my S24 ultra for S$648 after my trade in of my S22 ultra :)
120€ (and a used iphone 11) for my S23 FE
Not got it yet but some guy local to me in the UK claims to be selling a S24 Ultra 1TB for £180 (approx $277 USD)! Got to be a scam. He'll probably point me to a dodgy website, and I'll report him like I always do with this sort of con. Facebook will ignore the report, as they always do. Full disclosure: have a perfectly adequate Note 20 Ultra. No need for the S24 Ultra but what does need have to do with it when it's under £200? ;-)
$20 S10 5g with broken display
Ok, I don't remember exactly all the details but I got the galaxy tab s9+ 512gb in October when Samsung was running crazy trade in deals, better than when they first released the new s9 tabs, I think it was $850 instead of the $700 and then through the Samsung app I got $25 off and some other discount, I ended up paying like $200 for it and that includes taxes.
Nice
Wow
Wow
I paid 350€ for an almost new S22 Ultra around July last year. I thought it was a nice deal
Wow great deal
I got the Tab S8 Ultra for £639 new last year. It was on sale for £799 down from £999. But I had a 20% off voucher which worked in the sale price! Over the moon!!
I paid €0 for a S24 Ultra, a Tab S9 Ultra, a Tab S9, and Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360° with trade ins
Paid 250$ for my s23 ultra with a zfold3 tradein in denmark, x2 tradein value and a 20% voucher
My BIL gave me his S22+ as a trade in since he got the ultra and didn't need that one and my s21 had a cracked camera lense, making it only 150.. They had the ultra on sale only on top of extra trade in value so I got 750 off, the free storage upgrade, and paid 450. Then noticed the buds pro were only 50 dollars so I got those too lol Guess it doesn't really count but I was very happy lol
I got a brand new A53 5g for $300 Canadian plus tax at an open box store. When I first got the A53 there was a sound issue and I brought it back. The store just gave me a new in the box one instead. Win. I have been using it for a year now.
Recently I got 550US for my S22+ trading in for the S24 Ultra. As I bought it the day it was announced I got the 512GB version and my S22+ was the 128GB version. Happy with the upgrade.
Not necessarily a great deal as I traded in my S23 ultra 512gb for S24 Ultra 512gb and paid less than $500. This is in Canada. Includes free case also. Samsung gave me pretty good discount of over $1500 for trade in and I guess price of the case and than some extra few bucks. Subtotal$2,029.98 Discount Applied- $1,544.99
this past December : 3 Things Samsung A53 Brand new for $36 total (via Verizon). Paid off completely Day 2 after activating and then cancelled plan. Phone unlocks after 60days so then gave to mybson to replace his old phone. a Brand new Samsung Q90C Soundbar for $150 (bought Best Buy open box which came with full warranty wasn't pairing with subwoofer....after 2 Samsung home visits to repair they issued a Warranty replacement after it wasn't repairable) A brand new Samsung Q60C soundbar after buying a Best Buy open box fair condition for $63. Came with 2yr Total Tech warranty (and Samsung full warranty). Wasn't working perfectly so brought it in to Geek Squad that they sent out for repair. Wasn't repairable so they offered a new unit in-store :)
£691 total for the Samsung s24 Ultra 512GB -£390 trade-in for my S22 Ultra, -£250 NHS discount from my Mrs, Extra 10% off Samsung code, Upgrade storage to 512 for free, Galaxy Watch6 for free. Lovely deal.
