Samsung Electronics West Africa has announced its Smart Trade Programme that will enable customers to trade in old smartphones for any new Samsung phone at a discount.

From now to the August 30, 2014, smartphone users of Samsung and other brands can simply walk into any of the selected Samsung Experience Shop and trade-in their old phone.

“Devices will be graded on current condition, quoted and discounted based on three grading categories: perfect, good and non-functional/broken. Each grading category has explanatory definitions that allow for an accurate value to be attributed to the device that is being traded,” said Jaspreet Singh, Director for Handheld Products at Samsung.

He stated further that “once it has been graded, the customer will receive a discount coupon credited against the sale price of a new Premium Samsung phone. This will further offer much needed relief for customers who wish to move to the latest handsets at the earliest possible opportunity.”

Customers can get a value of up to GHc1000 for devices traded in to acquire the latest Samsung Galaxy S5 or other Samsung devices including the, Galaxy S4, Note 3 and Note 10.1 among others.

The service will be available at selected Samsung shops in the Greater Accra, Ashanti and Western Regions.
