Given the soft smartphone demand and looming recession, Samsung would have little reason to change the $1199.99 Galaxy S23 Ultra price from which its predecessor starts, unless the supply chain challenges persist into its mass production schedule, or Samsung decides that a new processor and a 200MP camera sensor warrant a higher S23 Ultra price.
For the S22 Ultra, Samsung tucked the S Pen in and kept the big battery pack, but still charged us the same amount, so we keep our hopes high it will do the same with the S23 Ultra and the other members of the 2023 S-line family, so we’d assume a $799 Galaxy S23 starting price, $999 tag for the Galaxy S23+, and the sweet $1199 Galaxy S23 Ultra price spot, going as high as $1599 for the 1TB Samsung-exclusive storage version.
- Up to $1000 trade-in for the S22 Ultra
- Free 128-to-256GB or 256-to-512GB storage upgrade
- $200 instant Samsung Store Credit towards accessories
- Free Galaxy Watch 5 or Galaxy Buds Pro
- Generous trade-in offers for phones with a cracked screen
- Exclusive colors like red or blue
- Exclusive 1TB storage version
- Discount bundles with the Galaxy Watch 5 series or the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra tablet
Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus pre-order deals to expect
- Up to $800 trade-in offers, including for devices with a cracked screen.
- Instant $100 instant Samsung rebate.
- Free storage upgrade.
- Exclusive Galaxy S23+ colors.
- Discount bundles with the Galaxy Watch 5 series or the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra tablet.
The middle child in the S23 family will net you discounts similar to the Galaxy S23 01Ultra, but with less instant accessory credit and free storage upgrades that go up to the 256GB max the phone could be available at. Granted, Samsung issues less credit or instant discounts for the Plus models than it does for the Ultra, yet the phone is also cheaper so it all balances out.
You can again expect unsurpassed trade-in offers that will knock up to $800 from the price of an S23+ in exchange for your clunker, starting the phone from $199.99 even. Moreover, when you order a Galaxy S23+ from Samsung and get onto the Add-on page, you will gain access to bundle discounts and can apply Samsung’s instant credit which is usually $100 for the middle child in the S-line family.
The best Samsung Galaxy S23 deals to expect
- Up to $800 enhanced trade-in offers (for cracked screens as well).
- Instant $50 discount in the form of a Samsung store credit.
- Free Galaxy S23 case with purchase.
- Biggest number of exclusive Galaxy S23 colors you can only get at Samsung.
- Discount bundles with the Galaxy Watch 5 series or the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra tablet.
Samsung usually gives less store credit and lower trade-in thresholds for the cheapest Galaxy S23 member of the 2023 S-line fam, but the phone is usually at a much lower starting price, too, so a $700 trade for the S22 and a instant store credit would basically get the Galaxy S23 for free, not to mention that Samsung sometimes also throws in a free case.
Prospective Galaxy S23 series deals on Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile
- Instant $50 activation bonus if you get your carrier Galaxy S23 Ultra at Samsung.
- $100 (for 256GB) or $200 (for 512GB) in free storage upgrade.
- Trade in а damaged phone at Verizon and get $1000 towards the S23 Ultra.
- Trade in a cracked screen phone worth at least $35 on AT&T, and get $1000 off the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
- Get a free Galaxy S23+ at T-Mobile with select unlimited 5G plan subscription.
If you go to your carrier, be it Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T, the Galaxy S23 Ultra price is likely to stay the same, at $1199 for the 128GB, $1299 for the 256-gigger, and would max out at $1399 for the 512GB model simply because Samsung is keeping the exclusive 1TB model for its own store in an unlocked state.
The carriers, however, may get you a heavily discounted Galaxy S23 Ultra against a plan signing, depending on the running deal of the day. In the preorder period, the carrier trade-in deals are usually for a free Galaxy S23+, or $1000 towards the S23 Ultra, while post-launch the trades usually top out at $800 that will net you the Galaxy S23 for free.
T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T seem to have better deals if you activate on these carriers via Samsung, as it applies instant activation discounts instead of trade-ins only, and tacks on gifts like the $100/$200 store credit, or the exclusive Galaxy S23 series colors you will be only able to get there.
