Best Samsung Galaxy S22 deals & trade-in values

Samsung's new phones are now available at retail

The new Galaxy S22 phones have been in the wild for a few days now, with pre-orders making their way to many fans a few days ahead of schedule. Now that they're officially available, though, you can finally walk into a retail store and pick one up. The end of pre-orders doesn't mean the end of deals: Pretty much everybody's still offering incentives, some of which can save you hundreds of dollars. Here are all the best ones.

Samsung

During pre-orders, Samsung was offering a lot of bonuses, including enhanced trade values, up to $200 in Samsung store credit, and a free upgrade from 128 to 256 gigs of storage. Now that the phones are out, though, the deals have changed: trade values on most devices have gone up, but you'll no longer get the storage upgrade or the store credit. You will, however, get $50 or $100 in Google Play credit, depending on the model you buy.

Here are Samsung's current trade offers for phones with intact screens (you can trade in a damaged phone, but it'll be worth significantly less).

AT&T's got all the new S22 phones at their normal prices: S22 for $800, S22+ for $1,000, and S22 Ultra for $1,200. The carrier is still offering the bonkers trade-in deal it started during pre-orders: $800 off any S22 phone when you trade "ANY Note, S or Z series phone in ANY condition from ANY year" and pay with a "qualifying installment plan." Any iPhone 6 or newer and any Google phone Pixel 3 or newer will also net you $800 off, provided they're fully functional. The full terms don't mention a cut-off date for the deal, but it seems too good to last much longer.

Verizon

Verizon's running deals similar to the ones it offered during pre-order: up to $1,000 off the Galaxy S22 Ultra or the S22+ when you trade in your old phone on select plans. Trades toward the base-model S22 are worth up to $800. You can also get up to $1,000 off a second S22 phone if you add a new line with an eligible unlimited plan.

Here are the current max trade values at Verizon:

Google Fi

Google's branded MVNO is offering new customers $300 off any S22 phone when they port their number over. That means you could potentially snag an S22 for $500, S22+ for $700, or S22 Ultra for $900, if you're willing to use Fi's network — which operates on T-Mobile and US Cellular's towers.

Amazon

If you grab your S22 on Amazon, it comes with a free $100 gift card — which, since Amazon sells everything under the sun, you can use to buy practically anything. As of writing, you can also still snag the 256-gig version of the smallest S22 for $800 at Amazon — a deal that's ended at other retailers. It doesn't seem like you can still get free storage upgrades on the S22+ or S22 Ultra, though.

US Cellular

US Cellular isn't offering quite the breadth of deals as some larger carriers, but new customers are able to get "any of the devices" — that'd be an S22, an S22+, or an S22 Ultra — for free, provided they sign up for a qualifying unlimited plan.

Spectrum Mobile

Spectrum is offering its customers $200 off the S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra, in addition to the extra $100 it's already offering for trade-ins. Not a particularly flashy deal, but if you've got a recent phone to trace in, that could add up to some serious savings.
