Pre-order Galaxy S21 series (T-Mobile) via Samsung Direct from $0

+37 Deal Score
140,170 Views
Pre-Order Galaxy S21 series (T-Mobile)

Trade in value for S20, Note 20, iPhone 12 series are now $800 (instead of $700 for other carriers/unlocked)

If you do not have above devices for trade-in, it is better to look at the T-Mobile deal post. More trade-in device options and higher values for older devices too.

Previously, T-Mobile had subsidized $25 off (S21) and $100 off (S21+ & Ultra) rebate for their models via Samsung Direct. That has ended, but if you still have S20/Note20 series, this matches last best value. This is also the lowest S21 price, free after trade-in. Matching the same ongoing T-Mobile pre-order promotions.

Stack with EPP or Samsung Discount Program, making Buds Pro only at $1.99+tax (after $100+$60 In-App pre-order credit)

Use promo code YOURGALAXY1RESERVEWA or 50LATESTGALAXY5G if you are only getting $100/$150/$200 accessories credits.

Prices after trade-in credit ($800)
  • Samsung Galaxy S21 5G
    • 128GB $0
    • 256GB $49.99
  • Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G
    • 128GB $199.99
    • 256GB $249.99
  • Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G
    • 128GB $399.99
    • 256GB (only for unlocked)
    • 512GB $579.99

Samsung Direct vs. T-Mobile Pre-order:
Samsung offers one time trade-in credit, compare to T-Mobile which spread out credits over 24 months.

T-Mobile Device Unlock:
If purchased directly from Samsung, they would not need 40 days of service requirement due to IMEI not found in T-Mobile system. YMMV, message TForce via Twitter/FB to submit unlock request.

I wonder if i can trade my T-mobile s20 in. I still got like 16 payments left though, lol.
If you pay off the EIP, the credits will transfer to account level credits and you'll still get them for the amount of time left on the credits.

They cannot cancel your order once the button is gone. Tho they might offer you 5% or 10% back for keeping the order. I'm just going to make sure that I refuse the FedEx package or start RMA.

Good things pre-order credits can be used on unlimited orders! Since all the codes are same, instead of unique code like previous years.

In some ways the 21 is a downgrade from the 20 correct?

In some ways it's a downgrade even from S10: 1080p screen vs 2k, no microSD slot, no headphone jack, no MST on Samsung Pay...

If you are really looking to upgrade, the ultra is the only option IMO. The rest of S21 series are meh...

Tmobile has a much more generous trade in value for older phones anyone trading in the s20 or s20ultra is better off with their current phones

Damn they left out S20 FE. S20 FE trade in is $550 at Samsung and $800 at T-Mobile.
Wish that is matched as well.

I remember they had this annoying restriction in previous years. I almost forgot about it. However, I'm able to place another order just fine (same item, config and everything). Maybe try from the app, not sure if that'll make a difference? I placed both via app for the extra $10 credit
