Don’t worry if you missed out on Samsung’s Galaxy S25 pre-order deals, the company officially launched the device today with new discounts.
Predictably, the Korean company is running another promotion for its new flagship phone, which includes enhanced trade-in prices, discounted accessories and a double storage offer. There’s an extra perk the company is now throwing in with its discount bundle: a 5%-off voucher code.
Samsung is emailing customers the code “S25APP” which knocks 5% off the total price of the device when it is bought in the Samsung Shopping app. This appears to be a rebrand of the long-standing “APP5” discount issued to first-time buyers.
The difference here is that the discount applies even if you have ordered through the Samsung Shop app before. However, it can’t be stacked with the APP5 code, which still works.
The new code worked for me on the U.K. version of the app. It’s worth pointing out that the promotion only works on the S25 series. If you purchase other devices while buying the new phone, the discount will only be applied to the handset and not any accessories. The APP5 code works on everything else, but only for first time Samsung Shop users.
Samsung raises trade-in prices
Elsewhere, Samsung is offering an additional store credit for all S25 Ultra purchases that maxes out at $100 depending on what storage option shoppers pick. Accessories have been discounted, too.
- The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are down to $59.99 from $249.99
- The Galaxy Watch Ultra is down to $290.99 from $659.99
- The Galaxy Ring is down to $239.99 from $399.99
Samsung Care Plus is 15% cheaper, too. The real savings are reserved for people with a phone to trade-in. In some places, Samsung’s trade-in prices have improved compared just a couple of weeks ago when the company ran its last major Galaxy S24 Ultra promotion. Valuations have, however, dropped for select phones.
- Apple iPhone 13 pro – $340 (previously $300)
- Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max – $180 (previously $200)
- Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra – $500 (unchanged)
- Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra – $600 (previously $400)
That Note 20 Ultra figure stands out. It is a not-so-subtle nudge from Samsung to upgrade because the 2020 Note will likely run out of software updates this year.
Broadly, Samsung is willing to pay high prices for Galaxy phones when it is running a sale, so hold on to your used devices, especially if you’re planning to buy a foldable this year. It might also be worth your time fishing out your ancient Android phone because Samsung will pay $50 for it, provided it still works.
