Samsung has supercharged its trade-in offers for its latest Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ smartphones — and will now pay you for any phone in any condition. Yes, really. The South Korean firm will buy a Nokia 3310 from the late 90s with a smashed screen for £100.
What's the catch? The £100 trade-in bonus must be put towards one of Samsung's flagship Galaxy S smartphones.
The Galaxy S24, larger Galaxy S24+, and all-singing all-dancing Galaxy S24 Ultra launched back in January with clever new AI tricks, improved cameras, and faster processors.
Since the launch of the new handsets, Samsung has offered trade-in offers. It would discount its new handsets by as much as £370 for the Galaxy S24 and S24+ and up to £410 for the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Of course, the exact trade-in value would depend on the make, model, and condition of the smartphone you were going to send to Samsung. Sending an iPhone 14 Pro, which made its debut in September 2022, to Samsung would earn you £390 off.
However, other less popular handsets wouldn't earn you anything with trade-in ...until now.

SAMSUNG PRESS OFFICE
Starting today, Samsung will discount its Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, or Galaxy S24 Ultra by £100 no matter what phone you send in. It doesn't matter if the screen is smashed, the phone doesn't switch on, it's lost buttons — Samsung will take it.
The deadline to take advantage of this no-quibbles trade-in deal is April 2, so you haven't got too long to scour the back of the drawer to look for an old phone that you're happy to send away for a £100 discount.
That isn't the only offer available from Samsung at the moment, with a one-year subscription to Disney+ worth £79.90 and 15% off any Galaxy Watch when bought at checkout with your shiny new Galaxy S smartphone. If you purchase the Galaxy S24 Ultra before April 2, you'll get free Galaxy Buds2 Pro wireless earbuds automatically bundled with your phone.
Samsung has reserved three extra colours (green, orange, and a light blue) exclusively for its online store.
Galaxy S24 starts from £799 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage — although, that'll drop down to £699 if you can find a busted phone to trade-in. That rises to £859 if you want twice as much storage (256GB). There's no microSD slot to expand the storage later on, so you'll need to make sure there's enough for all of your apps, photos, videos, and games.
Galaxy S24+, which is identical to the standard model but has a larger screen (6.7-inch compared with 6.2-inch), starts from £999. However, that model comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of built-in storage. With the trade-in offer, that falls to £899.
A maxed-out Galaxy S24+ costs £1,099 and ships with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of built-in storage.
Galaxy S24 Ultra starts from £1,249. That entry-level model comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of built-in storage. Samsung charges £1,549 for the maxed-out configuration, which arrives with the same amount of RAM, but a whopping 1TB of storage. That's more than most laptops. Of course, if you've got a phone that you're no longer that could be recycled, that drops to a £1,149 starting price.
Samsung offers interest-free repayment plans between 12- and 24-months if you don't want to pay for the phone outright.
