You’ve been eyeing your best friend’s Galaxy S6 or S6 edge for some time now, wanting to make the jump but feeling a little guilty because you just purchased your Galaxy Note 4 a few months ago. Well, you need not feel guilty. Samsung Malaysia has opened a new trade-up program for customers looking to get their hands on Samsung’s latest Galaxy S6 and S6 edge.
From May 9th through May 31st, Samsung Malaysia is now offering Malaysia customers the opportunity to trade in select devices and get a discount toward the Galaxy S6 or S6 edge. Before we get into the eligible phones for trade and their prices, keep in mind that you’re unlikely to get the full price or even 50% off toward the new device(s). After all, Samsung desires that you spend money for the new devices. Even here in the US, Verizon’s $200 trade-in credit for a smartphone in top condition only takes $100 off the up-front cost of a new smartphone; the other $100 is a bill credit that you won’t receive until 2-3 billing cycles after your upgrade.
Now, on to the list of eligible smartphones. Sony’s Xperia Z1, Z2, and Z3 are included, as are Apple’s iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5s, and 5c models. The HTC One Max, One M7, and One M8 are included, but that’s about it for the Taiwanese models that qualify. Apparently, Samsung doesn’t like HTC or Sony all that much.
There are more Apple iPhones that qualify for the discount than either HTC or Sony smartphones, but Samsung’s smartphones have the largest reach (which is no surprise). Samsung customers can trade in the Galaxy S2, S3, S4 (no S4 Active included here), and S5, as well as the Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Note 3, and even the latest Note 4 for the discount. The Note Edge models do not qualify for the discount either, as it seems Samsung is only interested in its most popular models.
The trade-in values for each smartphone vary, but Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 awards you the greatest trade-in value toward the Galaxy S6 and the S6 edge.
