Samsung - Galaxy S23 Ultra 256GB (UNLOCKED) - $600 **TRADE IN REQUIRED**

I'm going to apologize in advance if no one agrees this is a good deal BUT I cracked my S22 Ultra screen back in October 2022. Previously the $99 screen repair deal from Samsung ran every 3 months but unfortunately I haven't seen it again since September 2022. Fed up with waiting and no confirmation of when/if it'll ever return I decided to buy a new phone.

Screen repair is over $200 still with Samsung or Authorized Repair so I've been looking for a good deal for trading in a broken screen. Best Buy is offering $600, broken screen and all and my out the door price was $600 plus tax PLUS I got a $100 digital Best Buy gift card.

If you're in the market for a new phone with a phone to trade with a cracked screen or can't justify paying $200+ to replace your screen this seems like a decent deal.

Not a bad deal, but it looks like the port-in deal for $600 at Google is still alive.

Thanks! I updated the link to reference trade in and it was only $600 plus taxes. On top of that no port in required and you get a $100 digital gift card from Best Buy.

mannnnn, and I just blew $5.00 getting a burner phone line to port into Google Fi lol

[update/edit] wait, disregard. This is what I get for shopping before I finish my coffee. I saw the prices were similar to checking out on Google Fi but it also offered the $100 Best Buy gift card.... BUT, with Google Fi the price was similar without trading in a device.
Canceled, going back to my Google Fi purchase now

Why would anyone do this deal with a trade-in when you can just get an S23U from the Google Fi deal for the same price and be able to keep your old phone as a backup or to sell yourself?

Maybe if you have a damaged device as OP did, but other than that, not seeing the deal here.

The Google Fi deal requires monthly credits now. Not a great deal.

Google Fi always required 120 days of service. Cheapest plan is like $20/mo + tax. Don't use the data, port in a cheap $6 Tello number, use your original SIM in the new phone. After 120 days, cancel Google FI service.

That's still a better deal than this one, which has you pay maybe $600 or more AFTER a trade-in.

EDIT: they did just change the Google Fi deal to bill credits, so yeah now the deal is dead.

You can choose Unlocked and "Activate Later". Discount is applied and you pay the total upfront.
