During yesterday's Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung unveiled a new generation of flagship Android phones, the
Galaxy S22 series. The new phones carry the premium torch from the previous generation with some sweet upgrades, like a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC underneath the hood and some enticing camera improvements. We're working on a full review, but if you already know that the Galaxy S22 series is for you, then check out these preorder deals.
Buying direct from Samsung yields one of the best deals. For a limited time, Samsung is offering a $250 instant store credit (includes a $50 bonus), a free memory upgrade, and up to $700 in enhanced trade-in credits for your existing smartphone (or even higher depending on the carrier). Or at least that's how it's advertised. Depending on your trade-in, you can actually save up to $1,000 with all the offers combined. That certainly takes significant sting out of the MSRPs.
Here's what you're looking at for straight-up pricing (no trade-in)...
Getting a Galaxy S22 Ultra with 256GB for a mere $299.99 is a steal, though the caveat is that includes a $900 trade-in credit for a
Galaxy Z Fold 3. Credits vary by phone and whether or not your handset has a cracked screen. They're pretty decent overall, though. For example, a last-gen Galaxy S21 Ultra nets $700 in trade-in credit, or $500 if the screen is cracked. Likewise, Apple's iPhone 12 Pro Max fetches $700, or $600 with a cracked display.
Alternatively, you can trade in a tablet or smartwatch, with the biggest credit being $200. Either way, you can tack on Samsung Care+ for $11.99/month for 36 months to cover accidental damage to your new Galaxy S22 Ultra device (service fees from $99 to $249 may apply).
What about the Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22? Samsung's offering the same free memory upgrade offer, plus a choice between a $200 store credit or add-ons or a set of Galaxy Buds Pro with the Galaxy S22+, and a $150 store credit for add-ons or Galaxy Buds 2 with the Galaxy S22. And of course you trade in your existing device to bring the price down further...
Note that you can stack trade ins on these devices, depending on what you have and are willing to part with for a cheaper price.
