Samsung has expanded its mobile trade-in program to include more older phone models. The move makes it easier for customers to upgrade to newer devices while getting value from their used phones. People can now trade in a wider range of Samsung Galaxy models as well as select phones from other brands.

The updated program accepts devices that were previously not eligible. This includes certain Galaxy S and Galaxy Note models released several years ago. Samsung said the goal is to support more users in switching to the latest technology without extra cost.
Customers can check their device’s trade-in value online or at participating retail stores. Once the value is confirmed, they can apply it toward the purchase of a new Samsung phone. The process is simple and designed to be quick.
Samsung also emphasized its commitment to sustainability through this expansion. Recycling old phones helps reduce electronic waste and supports responsible resource use. Every traded-in device is either refurbished for reuse or recycled properly.
The trade-in program is available in multiple countries. Samsung plans to keep adding more models over time based on customer feedback and market demand. Users do not need to worry about data removal—the company provides tools to wipe personal information before handing over the device.

This update comes as part of Samsung’s broader effort to make smartphone ownership more affordable and eco-friendly. More people can now take part in the program regardless of how old their current phone is. Samsung hopes this change encourages faster adoption of newer, more efficient devices.
