With Samsung launching the much anticipated Galaxy Note 20 series during the company’s latest Unpacked event, many users will be waiting to get their hands on a brand new Galaxy Note 20 or Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Unfortunately, neither of them come cheap with the absolute cheapest option costing $999 in the United States. Still, consumers can get that hefty price reduced by trading in the device they are using now.
The Galaxy Note 20 and Ultra are the latest in Samsung’s flagship Note series and will be available to buy from August 21. Every year, the smartphone giant first releases the upgraded Galaxy S series phones. This is then routinely followed by the new Galaxy Note models later in the same year, which comes with the same upgrades, albeit with some refinements, as well as the phone’s trademark S Pen stylus. This was the case this year as well with the Galaxy Note 20 borrowing a lot of features from the Galaxy S20. The main highlights of the new Galaxy Note 20 phones is the 5G support, the highly improved cameras and a the Space Zoom technology that’s created by combining the output from all three lenses. Another tweak compared to the Galaxy S20 is the new Notes run on the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ chip, adding some extra benefits for gamers.
Although looking like great new smartphone options, the phones do come with a hefty price tag. For example, while the Galaxy Note 20 starts at $999 in the US, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra starts at $1,299. To help ensure these devices are affordable for more people, Samsung also offers financing options that consumers can choose to ease the financial burden. Customers can either go with a monthly payment plan (that can start as low as $9.73 per month) or trade in their current phone to get a discount on either of the new Galaxy Notes. Interested parties can check how much discount they will get from Samsung’s website.

In the US, consumers can trade their Apple, Samsung or Google phone to earn a substantial credit to help reduce the price of a Galaxy Note 20 or Ultra. In some cases, by as much as $650 which could bring the cost of the standard Galaxy Note 20 down to as low as $350 and the Ultra to $650. This premium discount is available for Samsung phone owners who trade their Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Note 10 Plus or Note 10 5G, as well as the Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra. Apple phone owners can only save as much as $650 by trading an iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max. However, the maximum discount Google Pixel owners can get is $400 when exchanging a Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 4 ord Pixel 4 XL. The Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL are the only other Google models that owners can trade, with a $250 offer on the table.
When it comes to slightly older Samsung and Apple phones, consumers can save as much as $550 by trading in a Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, S10 5G, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, or iPhone 11. Thereafter, the available discounts fall between $400 and $250 dollars for older iPhone models, with the iPhone 6s being the lowest model that can be exchanged. Similarly, Samsung phones that can be traded go as far back as Galaxy A7 Active, with anywhere between $25 and $400.
Even with a cracked screen, buyers can earn a discount anywhere between $25 and $400, depending on the model they are able to trade. Considering the economic impact of COVID-19, there will be those who are hesitant on spending a lot on a new smartphone right now, but these Samsung exchange offers might help to make the Galaxy Note 20 series worth a closer look.
