The idea of exchanging goods "trade-in", popular in the West, is gradually settling in Russia. Samsung decided to continue the tradition this year too. Immediately after the premiere of the new Galaxy S9 phone, the company launched an exchange program on its official website. As the instruction says, you just need to choose the phone that you are going to give, determine the parameters of Galaxy S9 and specify the nearest store where you will take a new gadget.
But here it's not so easy. Exchange your old Huawei or Nokia you can not. Only Samsung and Apple phones participate in the promotion. Here is a link to this online calculator Samsung.
How much?
Immediately say, if you thought that the exchange is profitable, then remove the rose-colored glasses. Trade-in was, is and will be profitable only for the manufacturer. The surcharge will still remain so that for this money you can at least buy 2 Chinese smartphones or 5 pieces of Nokia 1.
As you can see, Samsung estimates its phones more expensive than the products of a direct competitor. But what is very funny, for Samsung Galaxy S5 on 32 GB Samsung gives 1000 rubles less than for his brother with a memory of 16 GB.
