Interested in a brand new Galaxy Note 2 or Galaxy S3? Samsung will give you up $300 to trade in your old phone for a new Samsung smartphone. And the best part is that the old phone need not be a Samsung device. You can select the old phone you want to trade in on the Samsung Upgrade page, and get a quote on how much you are likely to get as a rebate. And guess what, Samsung is even willing to accept used iPhones!! An iPhone 4S 16GB in perfectly good condition can fetch you $215. That’s a good enough reason by itself to switch.

With the holiday season coming up, and an awesome new phone like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 imminent, smartphone sales are all set to boom, and this looks like the perfect strategy that Samsung needed to deploy to beef up sales.

Go ahead and check it out, and do let us know how it went for you.
