Can I trade in any smartphone or tablet?

The Programme is only applicable for purchases of Eligible Samsung Devices within the same category as the Eligible Trade-in Device, i.e. trade-in of an eligible smartphone is only allowed when an eligible Samsung smartphone is purchased, and trade-in of an eligible tablet is only allowed when an eligible Samsung tablet is purchased. Click here 🡥 for full list of eligible trade-in devices. Samsung reserves the right to make changes to the list of eligible smartphone and tablet models on https://www.samsung.com/sg/tradeup/ at any time without prior notice.

Otherwise, a S$19 surcharge will be applied for administrative and return delivery fees.

Why do I need to enter my personal data when I submit an online evaluation? What do you do with my data?

The Programme is subject to secondhand dealer laws, which regulate the buying of used personal property.

In some instances, to comply with applicable law, the personal information collected may include:

• Full Name
• NRIC/Work Pass No.

• Contact Number

The Trade Up Vendor also reports certain information about trade-in transactions voluntarily in other instances. Additionally, the Trade Up Vendor may be required to share personal information in response to a valid court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. The Trade Up Vendor reserves the right to report, and may be required to report, to law enforcement agencies any activities that is believed to be unlawful.
