Not sure it is worth it
Got the deal. It was slick, thanks. No where else on the internet where you can get $400 for this 2 year old phone. $40 to trade in for a brand new phone, better processor, WiFi chip, next generation. No brainer.

For people that say the A71 5G is better, I have been using it and it sucks, seems like the processor is really slow.
LOL, A71 5G is much better than Pixel 6a...

FedEx for the phone (indirect signature required) and USPS for the trade in kit for me.

This phone is worth about $200 max retail. Just way too many connection issues, fingerprint scanner issues, heat issues, speaker issues, etc

The way I look at this is that:

if you can get a phone to trade-in for about $300 net TIV (so, an iphone 8 for say, $85 purchase and trade-in for $385), and you're able to get the phone all-in for $200 or under after tax, it's worth the trouble and a good deal.

If you get it for, say $250, it's a decent deal but you may be able to pick it up soon for near that price unlocked and I'd probably pass. So, buying an s10e for like $130, to use an example.

If you have a similar phone laying around, especially a cracked one, it's an absolute no brainer and this is the kind of trade-in opportunity that won't be around much longer imo. I'd jump on like ANY of these cracked screen situations, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy a cracked/broken device to trade-in.

If you're looking to trade in a phone that fetches $200+ on the open market, however (a nice unlocked iPhone XR+ or another equivalent android phone) then you're probably better off selling it on the open market and looking for something else in the mid-tier range over the next couple months. I'm not exactly sure what but I wouldn't take the chance on the P6a.

This phone should not be sold at all, if you can't accept incoming calls. It's not considered a phone than.

You need to do this at the Google stores in NYC to get trade in up front.

If you have a A71 5G, I'd highly recommend that you trade that in soon for this deal. My 2+ yr A71 5G started to have battery and port problem, especially after the android 12 update. I think the problem would only get worst.
My A71 5G crapped out after the latest Android update in July. I can't charge the phone while it's turned on. I tried different chargers and cables. Only way to charge is completely power down the phone. I think the update screwed me and no way to roll back.
I'm torn about this trade in. I think the A71 5G is better than Pixel 6a. I want to wait for another Samsung trade in deal during the holiday season but don;t want to deal with this battery issue.

The Samsung A-series phones normally don't have good trade in value. I highly doubt we will see a $400 trade in value or anything close for a A71 during the holiday season. My guess is that you will probably get maybe $200-$250 max.

Personally, even if you are not interested in the 6a, I think it is still better to do the trade in, then sell the 6a once you get it. With the money you get, you can buy an older Samsung S-series which will have much better trade in value than the A71 if you decided to trade it in during holiday season.

Keep the A71. It's a better phone.

I pulled the plug and started trade in with iPhone 8 64 gb.

Will get 385 for iPhone 8 and get the phone for 104.

I am in Apple ecosystem, so my thinking is that I will surely get more than $104 in future TIV for 6a.

I am going to trade in an iPhone 8 with cracked screen and back and the touch screen only half works. It does turn on though and I think that I can still get roughly $250 off

Traded in S10e...just received the pixel 6a. Now waiting for the trade-in kit to arrive. I love the S10e but it has gotten much slower lately. Needed an extra phone for emergencies. I love my fold 4 as my main one
