Maxis Malaysia adds Note 4 to trade-up program

Maxis Malaysia has now gone and added the Galaxy Note 4 to its trade-up program, a device that many will, no doubt, enjoy in even greater fashion.

The carrier’s trade-up program provides a list of phones that you can trade in any old smartphone towards. In this case, the new addition of the Note 4 to the trade-up lineup means that you can now trade in your old device and get money toward a Galaxy Note 4. Those old smartphones lying around the house may just net you more than you bargained for!

As always, there are caveats to this deal: first, you must sign a two-year agreement for a postpaid plan – so no prepaid or off-contract deals here. The trade-in program is open to both existing Maxis customers as well as newcomers (newcomers are welcome).

Next, the trade amount for your old smartphone varies. This means that you won’t necessarily get the top amount because you turn in any old smartphone; you’ll need to have a Sony, HTC, Apple, or Samsung smartphone, for example, in order to hope for the maximum amount Maxis will give you for your trouble. The minimum amount you’ll receive is RM200 ($55 USD), but you could earn up to RM950 ($261.50 USD). Currently, Maxis has the price of the iPhone 5s as providing the most money for value in its trade-in, with the iPhone 5s netting you RM950 while a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2 will net you RM400, a Galaxy S4 warrants RM500, a Note 3 RM600, and a Galaxy S5 will get you RM800 towards Samsung’s newest phablet. The trade-in device must not have water damage, screen cracks, or damage in any part to be eligible for the trade-in (in good working condition).

The Note 4 currently has Android 5.0 Lollipop in Malaysia, so you’ll get to download Google’s latest right out of the box.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is the latest phablet to continue Samsung’s campaign to stand out from the rest. You’re looking at a 5.7-inch display with a Quad HD (2,560 x 1,440p) screen resolution, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of minimum storage with a 128GB microSD card slot for additional storage expansion, a 3.7MP front camera, 16MP back camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), and a 3,220mAh removable battery. Its camera has won a contest or two.
