Samsung’s new Galaxy S23 phones use the newest and fastest Snapdragon processor.
The flagship S23 Ultra introduces a 200-megapixel camera.
For a limited time, Samsung is offering a free storage upgrade and up to a $70 credit if you preorder.
Samsung just announced its Galaxy S23 smartphone lineup, which includes the S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra.
These premium devices use the fastest mobile processor to date, which helps boost performance while managing battery use more efficiently. The highlight is a 200-megapixel camera in the S23 Ultra — a first for Galaxy phones.
But premium devices like the S23 phones come with high price tags. But here’s a deal to help lessen the wallet damage: If you’re a Galaxy fan looking to upgrade to one of the new models, Samsung is offering a limited time preorder exclusive that lets you upgrade the storage capacity on select models to the next tier for free, and receive up to $70 in instant credit to use on Samsung’s online store.
For example, if you preorder the 512GB of the S23 Ultra, it’ll cost the same as the 256GB model.
In addition, you can save even more if you trade in an eligible phone. Here’s how you can redeem these offers.

For a limited time, Galaxy S23 preorders from Samsung all come with a credit of up to $100 for your next Samsung purchase. The amount will be indicated during checkout. The offer applies whether you order one thats unlocked or locked to a carrier. The credit cannot be applied to the preorder itself, but can be used on accessories or other products through the Samsung online store. The credits must be used at time of purchase.
Samsung S23 preorder deal from Best Buy
Best Buy is also offering a storage upgrade on select models, plus up to $100 in a form of a Best Buy gift card. If you don’t want to be tied to buying Samsung products with your credit, the Best Buy gift card is an excellent option.
Are there any carrier trade-in programs?
If you’re hoping to save even more on the new Galaxy S23, you’ll want to consider trading in your old smartphone. Here are the trade-in offers available from different carriers and Samsung.
AT&T: Get up to $1,000 in bill credit when you buy on a qualifying installment plan with an eligible trade-in smartphone. T-Mobile: Get up to $1,000 in bill credit when purchased on a monthly payment plan with qualifying Magenta Max rate plan (new or existing line) and an eligible trade-in smartphone.Verizon: Get up to $800 in bill credit when you purchase with a new or upgraded line for select 5G Unlimited plans and an eligible trade-in smartphone. Samsung: Get up to $500 off the S23 Ultra or up to $350 off the S23 and S23+ with instant trade-in credit with an eligible trade-in device, including tablets, smartphones, and smartwatches.
The actual value you’ll receive depends on the brand, model, and condition of the device you submit. Carriers only accept smartphones for trade-ins, while Samsung accepts smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches from most major brands, like Apple, Google, LG, and Samsung.
To get the most immediate savings, we recommend going with Samsung’s instant trade-in credit. Carrier offers often take a while to pay out bill credits over a duration of months, whereas Samsung’s trade-in program results in an immediate discount from the device — although the credit amount is less.
When will the Samsung Galaxy S23 be available?
Though preorders are open now, the Samsung Galaxy S23 will not be available until February 17.
