As bizarre as it may sound for high-end phone enthusiasts, some of the best-selling Samsung phones in the USA have been the low-end Galaxy A1x models. Over the past few years, devices like the Galaxy A10e, the Galaxy A12, and the Galaxy A13 have found a place in top-10 shipment charts. Now, Samsung offers a new model for 2024.
The Galaxy A15 5G went on sale in the USA last week. The phone costs $199 with no carrier strings attached or $8.33 a month through Samsung Financing. Samsung also offers an option to buy the device in four $50 installments paid every two weeks.
But what about the trade-in program? What sort of discounts has Samsung prepared for Galaxy A1x buyers who may want to upgrade to the new A15 5G model? Here's all you need to know.
Galaxy A15 5G trade-in discounts
Samsung offers discounts of up to $100 when you exchange an older Galaxy phone for the new Galaxy A15 5G. However, the $100 trade-in value is reserved for aging high-end devices like the Galaxy S10+, Galaxy Note 10, and Galaxy S20.
More realistically, chances are that most customers will be looking to trade an older Galaxy A1x phone for the latest model. For people who want to upgrade, Samsung has prepared discounts between $10 and $45. The Galaxy A14 is missing from the trade-in program, but here's what you can get for other devices:
- $10 trade-in value for the Galaxy A10e.
- $20 trade-in value for the Galaxy A11 and Galaxy A12.
- $30 trade-in value for the Galaxy A13 5G.
- $45 trade-in value for the Galaxy A13 (LTE).
The new Galaxy A15 5G has a brighter 800 nits Super AMOLED 90Hz display, a MediaTek Dimensiy 6100+ chip, a 50MP camera with autofocus, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging.
The phone runs Android 14 and One UI 6.0, and Samsung will support it with four OS upgrades and five years of security patches.
Whether the Galaxy A15 5G will become another best-seller remains to be determined. But if you want to grab one while it's fresh and maybe lower the price through a trade-in deal, you can hit the “Buy” button below and look for the A15 on Samsung's online shop.
