Deal hunters should rejoice because June has bought about the best smartphone deals I have seen all year. First Apple raised its trade-in prices, Samsung then went even further and Google ultimately beat them both with eye-wateringly high trade-in valuations. Now, Samsung is back with a brand new double discount for the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
In an effort to push people to buy hardware through its Samsung Shop app, the company will knock 10% off the Galaxy S25 series if the code 'JUNE25' is used. This only applies to shoppers in the U.K., but let me know if it works elsewhere.
This isn't the first time Samsung has randomly dropped a new limited-time code. Back in February, the Korean company launched a promotional 'S25APP' code that knocked 5% off the Galaxy S25 lineup when bought through the app. This new voucher doubles the company's last offer and is consistent with the sheer deluge of deals Samsung is rolling out right now.
It's worth noting that Samsung runs a permanent voucher code ('APP5') when you buy anything in its shopping app. The company will also throw in discounts if several devices are bought together, which aren't always promoted. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to the bundle discounts because I often just add things to my basket to see what promotions they trigger.
For this S25 deal, the voucher isn't the only promotion Samsung is currently running for its flagship phone. It will pay at least £200 ($272.15) when you trade in any Android phone. The Korean company is also giving away a free Galaxy Tab A9 Plus (until June 26th) with all S25 purchases (base and Ultra models).
Samsung's New Galaxy Phone Discount Strategy
the new Galaxy S25 Edge has seen some of Samsung's best offers yet.
The star of the show, however, is Samsung's new trade-in pricing for British shoppers. Historically, U.S. Samsung smartphone customers get access to free subscriptions and huge trade-in deals that pay hundreds of dollars for years-old phones. In the U.K., the trade-in prices are poor, but British shoppers get free devices bundled with their Galaxy phones.
The Korean company has changed that with new pricing, which not only raises trade-in valuations for U.K. customers but also beats U.S. pricing in some places.
So British shoppers get a free tablet and trade-in prices that beat the historically high American valuations. Not only is this a solid deal, it's a good omen for people in the U.K. who want to buy Samsung phones in the future.
It's not clear why Samsung upped its trade-in prices, or why it is repeatedly combining several generous deals. Perhaps it wants to clear stock before the imminent Galaxy Z Fold 7 release, or reports about slow Galaxy S25 Edge sales are accurate.
What is clear, however, is that Google's latest Samsung-busting trade-in deal, and Apple's brief trade-in promotion, shows that major smartphone manufacturers are in a discount dogfight. Which is, of course, very food news for budget-conscious deal hunters. Make sure you don't miss a deal by hitting the follow button below.
