Samsung is now essentially offering the same trade-in value for every eligible device when buying the Galaxy A71 5G online in the USA. In other words, regardless of whether you trade in a newer phone like the Galaxy S9 or an aging device such as the Galaxy S7, you will be getting the same $225 trade-in value in return. To put things into perspective, Samsung USA is offering $45 trade-in value for the Galaxy S7 when buying other 5G devices such as the Galaxy A51 5G.
The Galaxy S7 was released more than four years ago and it virtually reached end-of-life in terms of firmware updates, so an upgrade to the Galaxy A71 5G would be substantial. And with the ongoing limited-time trade-in offer, you're essentially paying the price of the Galaxy A42 5G up-front for the much more powerful Galaxy A71 5G.
As of this writing, the Galaxy A71 5G in the USA is available only in Prism Cube Black. The Prism Bricks Black color option is not yet available online and it's unclear when it will be in stock. The Prism Cube Black variant is scheduled to ship to customers before October 19.
