Samsung is launching a trade-in program for its Galaxy smartphones in France, to obtain a discount on the purchase of a new model – it is also possible to simply receive a check. Financially speaking, it is not certain that this solution is so interesting.
Samsung wants to give a financial boost to consumers who want to change their smartphone, with a new trade-in program (at this address) which allows them to obtain a discount on a purchase. Concretely, Samsung takes back a Galaxy S20/S21/S22/S23, a Galaxy Z Fold3/4/5 or a Galaxy Z Flip 3/4/5 for a few tens or hundreds of euros, to be used on the acquisition of a new one. model.
The price of peace of mind
A Galaxy S23 (128 GB) thus reduces the bill by €235; the amount for a Galaxy Z Fold 4 (1 TB) is €530. Likewize, Samsung's partner, offers the same trade-in prices but with no obligation to purchase – in other words, you receive cold hard cash. The trade-in amount will be confirmed after Likewize receives the device, which will carry out a thorough diagnosis. Consequently, the final amount may be less.
Quite confusingly, Samsung's program also offers the trade-in of a fairly considerable number of old smartphones of all brands (iPhone, Asus, HTC, etc.) but the discount is then only €1. We can also take back tablets, connected watches and wireless headphones, again of all brands.
Despite everything, the program is not uninteresting in absolute terms, but like Apple's trade-in system, it is financially more interesting to go through the direct second-hand market. A Galaxy S23 Ultra sold for €430 by Samsung can be sold for around €600 on LeBonCoin. However, these builder takeover programs have the advantage of preventing sellers from the unpleasant surprises that can arise with classified ads. Peace of mind comes at a cost, after all!
After inspection, devices sent to Likewize are either resold after deleting the data, or recycled. responsibly ».
