Samsung US brings back free storage upgrades for the Galaxy S25 series

Free storage upgrades are the usual perk that Samsung offers during pre-orders. Those are long behind the S25 series, but Samsung US decided to bring them back.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with 512GB storage costs $1,300 – that’s the MSRP of the 256GB model. Similarly, the 1TB model is $1,420, which is how much the 512GB normally costs.

You can reduce those prices by up to $900 with a trade-in. You can get that much for a Galaxy S24 Ultra, a Z Fold6 and even a Z Fold5. An S23 Ultra is valued at $750. Note that Samsung will include a bit of store credit ($80 for the 512GB model and $60 for the 1TB one) that you can use for future purchases.

The Samsung Galaxy S25+ has an almost free storage upgrade – the base 256GB model costs $1,000, but you can have a 512GB phone for just $20 more. The trade-in offers can reduce the price by up to $700, which is how much you get for an old S24+, while the S23+ can fetch $600.

Note that if you have Samsung Credit stored up from a previous purchase, you can apply it to the storage upgrade. You can do the same for the S25 Ultra and the vanilla S25 too.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 also has an almost free storage upgrade – the 256GB model is only $10 more than the 128GB version. With a trade-in, you can get $500 for your old S24 or $400 for your S23.

Again, you can use old Samsung Credit for that $10 difference. Check out our Galaxy S25 vs. S25+ article if you need help deciding between these two.
