Samsung will send you a FREE Galaxy tablet worth £259 if you promise to switch to its newest Android phones

Galaxy Tab A9+ sports a 7,040mAh battery for all-day usage. There's only 64GB of built-in storage, but that can be expanded up to 1TB via microSD card. Wi-Fi 5 is built-in for reliable streaming. Out of the box, it runs Samsung's popular One UI software based on Android 13 with features like Samsung Knox to secure your personal information and Quick Share to wirelessly beam files between devices.

At launch, across the board, reviewers applaud the Galaxy Tab A9+ as a standout budget performer. NotebookCheck awarded it an 84% score— branding it "a fast and far-better-quipped successor to the much-loved Galaxy Tab A8," thanks to its 90 Hz display and speedier octa-core processor. Tech Advisor praised its “understated but refined design” and silky-smooth media playback.

Android Police summed called it “pretty good,” highlighting solid build quality and useful software extras like Samsung DeX and conceding that few tablets match the Galaxy A9+ for sheer bang-for-buck.

And now, Samsung is offering to send one of these well-reviewed 11-inch Android tablets to you at no cost.

If you buy a Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Flip 6 or Galaxy Fold 6 from the Samsung Store or a number of other participating retailers between May 21 – June 26, 2025, just submit a claim within 30 days of purchase to claim a free Galaxy Tab A9+.

While the Samsung-built table is available in Graphite, Silver and Navy when bought in-store... Samsung is only sending out the Graphite colourway for free. You'll need to be aged 18 or over to submit a claim on the separate Samsung website, found here.

But that's not the only offer available on the latest Galaxy handsets.

Samsung is also offering £200 for any broken or long-forgotten phones gathering dust in your drawers.

It's true. Send any Android phone in any condition to Samsung — you can immediately slash £200 off those prices.

That means you can pocket the standard Galaxy S25 starts from £599, a Galaxy S25+ from £799, and the all-singing, all-dancing Galaxy S25 Ultra from £1,049.

Granted, even with that sizeable discount, you'd be hard pushed to describe these handsets as "cheap". But this an incredible opportunity to upgrade to a flagship Android smartphone packed with the latest technologies developed by Samsung — and offload an old phone you're no longer using.

• Check trade-in value for your Android phone on the Samsung store

Samsung hasn't capped the trade-in discount at £200 — that's just the amount you can claim for a broken, outdated Android phone. Depending on the make, model, and condition of the phone you're looking to send to Samsung, you could earn up to £431 off the Galaxy S25, larger Galaxy S25+, or Galaxy S25 Ultra.

How does trade-in work?

First up, you'll need to choose exactly which of the new Samsung smartphones is calling to you. If you're unsure, we've got some details on exactly what separates the three handsets in the Galaxy S lineup below.

Next up, you'll need to confirm the manufacturer, model number, and condition of the handset that you're looking to trade-in. Once that's done, you'll be presented with an estimated trade-in value.

If you move ahead with the trade-in process, that discount will be applied instantly at checkout on the brand-new phone, with Samsung sending out a self-addressed package to mail your trade-in device in the following days. And that's it.

In most cases, you'll have the new Galaxy S smartphone in your hand, ready to transfer over files, settings, and apps, before you're required to send the trade-in back to Samsung. That should make the whole process much easier.

Announced back in January, the new Galaxy S lineup boasts speedier processors to enable more Galaxy AI tasks on-device, a refreshed design with soft, rounded corners to make it easier to handle, and new colours.

Despite these improvements, the price remains the same as last year. Earlier this week, Samsung confirmed that its Galaxy S25 lineup would be the first to be eligible to upgrade to its newest operating system, One UI 8, based on Android 16.

While the design of the new Galaxy S25 lineup isn't a huge departure from recent Galaxy S handsets, these new devices are thinner and lighter than previous generations. Samsung has shaved-off between 6g - 15g, depending on the model you choose.

The biggest weight loss is reserved for the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

It's the speediest chip to ever ship inside a Samsung smartphone, delivering 40% faster performance from the Neural Processing Unit (NPU), which predominantly handles on-device AI tasks, as well as a 37% increase in CPU and a 30% improvement in GPU compared to the Galaxy S24 series.

This beefier chipset allows Samsung to crunch more AI tasks on-device. Some Galaxy AI features that previously had to be beamed to servers, like Generative Edit, now take place on the silicon inside the phone. Since you're not reliant on a decent Wi-Fi or mobile data connection, you'll be able to use these AI tricks on aeroplane mode.
