How much can you get for your phone for via trade-in to buy Galaxy S26 Ultra?

Samsung says you can get up to $900 in trade-in credit when you trade in your phone for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Not all smartphones fetch the same value, as you probably know. For example, if you’re holding onto an iPhone 17 Pro Max, it’ll bring in more than an older iPhone. The same goes for a Galaxy S25 Ultra compared to a Galaxy S24 Ultra, and so on.

The bottom line is that a little preparation can go a long way toward boosting your return. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how much you can get for your device, what affects its value, and how to make the most of Samsung’s trade-in program.
