S25 Ultra price/ trade in

[swills9]

So S25 Uktra 1TB is £1,350, I see max trade in for S23 Ultra 1TB is £440, So still £1000 for the S25, think that's going to be a no then !

Ah yes, apologies, you're right! I'm getting myself all confused!

[swills9]

No worries, Personally I can't justify £900+ to go from a 23 to a 25, even more so when Android 15 and UI 7 are not that far away now.

Not gonna lie, I think the s23ultra is worth keeping, I regret getting rid of mine for the s24ultra, it's a much nicer phone imo

[swills9]

Thanks for that info, was contemplating buying a 24 instead ofca 25, but as you say the S23 is a darn good phone and being a 1TB stacks of storage:-)

I've traded in last years model each year because you get the most trade in value from Samsung. Now that 1TB are offering even greater trade ins now, I'm definitely cashing in. £660 for my S24 Ultra is the best trade in Samsung has done to date.

They dud the double storage offer with both the 23 and 24, and bugger trade ins too, personally I think (unless you are in the USA) the trade in is very poor ! Even YT reviews are saying don't upgrade from a 24 unless you can get the 25 cheap, in America, trade in a 24, and with their offers a 25 1TB is about $500 of not less.
The only phone difference is mainly one of the cameras, and a stack of AI additions, which tge 24 will get in a few weeks anyway !

I did the trade in for the past 3 years and this year's is the best offer they've done to date. I wouldn't compare US pricing and offers as they're a different market and they also don't show you precisely what you pay.

I don't think the phone is worth paying the extra £900 or so. The phone is barely an upgrade from last year, the lack of Bluetooth in the S-pen is a very poor decision by Samsung.

I'm keeping my S23 Ultra as I think it's still a powerhouse 👍🏼

[swills9]

Think if we were in the U.S it maybe a good deal, or better at least, but here, to me, bit of a rip off in my view

Even across the pond, they still end up paying around $700 when adding on taxes. But we do definitely end up paying more here in the UK.
