Samsung's new Galaxy Club program makes yearly flagship upgrades easier on your wallet

Alongside its latest flagships, Samsung introduced a new Galaxy Club early upgrade program at today’s Galaxy Unpacked event. With this program, Samsung aims to reward Galaxy loyalists who want to stay on the bleeding edge and purchase the latest Samsung phones as soon as they hit the market.

If you plan to get one of the new Galaxy S25 series models and will likely upgrade to a Galaxy S26 series device when Samsung unveils the lineup next year, the new Galaxy Club early upgrade program is perfect for you. You can enroll in the program for a small monthly fee, and Samsung will offer you a great deal on its next-gen flagships when you’re ready to upgrade.

You can join the Galaxy Club early upgrade program for $8.33 per month if you get the top-end Galaxy S25 Ultra or the Galaxy S25 Plus or $6.20 monthly if you buy the base Galaxy S25. You can then upgrade to the latest Galaxy device any time after 12 months, and Samsung will pay your remaining installments or offer a 50% MSRP trade-in credit towards your next upgrade.

So, for instance, if you buy the Galaxy S25 Ultra for $1,299.99 right now and pay $8.33 per month for the next 12 months ($99.96 in total), Samsung will give you $649.99 trade-in credits for your next upgrade, effectively saving you $550. Additionally, you’ll get one year of Samsung Care+ (without Theft and Loss), which costs around $13 per month when purchased separately.

Overall, the new Galaxy Club early upgrade program is a great deal for those who want the latest Samsung flagship as soon as it is released. It not only ensures you get great value for your old phone when you upgrade but also gets you all the benefits Samsung offers with its Care+ program, including unlimited repairs, coverage for drops and spills, cracked screen and back glass repairs for a nominal fee, fast replacements, 24/7 support, and more.
