Samsung’s new flagship devices are here and you can already save on one.
This story is part of Samsung Event, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Samsung’s most popular products.
The new Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra hit shelves just last month, and are the latest models in Samsung’s flagship phone series. And if you’re looking to get your hands on one of these cutting-edge devices, there’s no reason to pay more than you have to. There are tons of deals and offers out there at both carriers and retailers that can save you hundreds on one of these sleek new phones, especially if you have an old phone to trade in or need a new service plan. We’ve rounded up some of the best offers available at the moment below so you can get a new S23 in your hands for less. And with the release of the new S23 models, you can also find some great deals on the previous-gen Galaxy S22 right now as well.
Unveiled at the company’s Unpacked event last month, Samsung’s refreshed Galaxy S lineup includes the Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra. All three models retain the same screen sizes as the 2022 models at 6.1, 6.6 and 6.8 inches, respectively, with a refined external design and some modest upgrades to the camera hardware, battery sizes and internal storage of the larger two models. A special version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, optimized for the new Galaxy S23 lineup, powers the new phones, which the company claims should result in faster performance.

How much does the Galaxy S23 cost?
The three models of the Galaxy S23 are available in various storage configurations. US pricing for each model starts at:
- Samsung Galaxy S23: $800
- Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus: $1,000
- Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: $1,200
Note that Samsung has improved the base storage for the Galaxy S23 Plus and S23 Ultra, doubling it to 256GB instead of the 128GB found in the S22 models. The base-spec Galaxy S23 model remains at 128GB, however. Both the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus offer 8GB of RAM, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with 12GB of RAM.
What colors does the Galaxy S23 come in?
As always, Samsung has clothed its latest phones in an attractive array of colors. This time, there’s a selection of nature-inspired colors including phantom black, cream, green and lavender. All three S23 phones are available in those four colors regardless of where you buy them from, though Samsung is also offering four colors exclusive to its own online store. Those colors are lime, graphite, sky blue and red.
Best Galaxy S23 deals
Go straight to the source for your Galaxy S23 order and nab as much as $100 in free Samsung credit to spend on accessories. You’ll also gain access to Samsung’s online-exclusive colors. Better yet, if you’ve got an old phone to trade in, you can get as much as $750 toward your new unlocked device.
Samsung has some attractive carrier offers, too, with as much as $800 off with an eligible trade-in. Finally, many of these offers can be further enhanced with discounts for students, educators, first responders, government workers and/or military members, veterans and their families (see Samsung’s site for discount details).
Best Buy is offering savings on both unlocked and carrier models of the S23 lineup if you’ve got an older device to trade in. Those who don’t want to be tied to a carrier or service plan can save up to $600 through Best Buy’s trade-in program. Or you can save up to $800 with an eligible trade-in and qualified activation on service plan from Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile.
Verizon’s Galaxy S23 deal offers as much as $800 off with an eligible trade-in on an Unlimited plan, and the carrier is even accepting old or damaged phones. Switchers to Verizon will get a further $200 Verizon gift card, too. Other offers include a free Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Tab S7 FE 5G with purchase, though it’s worth noting these cellular-enabled devices each require a new line to be added, and 50% off Galaxy Buds 2 when bundled with your phone purchase.
Buy your Galaxy S23 device on a qualifying installment agreement with AT&T and trade in your old device for up to $800 off. Better yet, to be eligible for that discount, the device you hand over can be a Galaxy S, Note, or Z series smartphone from any year, in any condition, or a phone from another brand so long as it’s worth $35. The discount will be applied via monthly bill credits over 36 months. Plus, you can get 50% off any Samsung accessory alongside your phone purchase.
New and existing customers can save up to $800 on any Galaxy S23 model when either trading in or adding a new line on a Magenta Max plan. Those not on a Magenta Max plan can still save up to $800 with a qualifying trade-in or new line on an eligible plan.
Xfinity is offering new customers $500 off their Galaxy S23 when porting in a number on a new line on a 24-month plan. And both new and existing customers can save up to $800 with a qualifying trade-in.
Walmart is offering the Galaxy S23 series with various carrier deals. Phones activated on an eligible installment plant with AT&T or Verizon will benefit from a $250 discount, plus up to $1,000 off via bill credits (AT&T only) with an eligible trade-in. Walmart also has prepaid deals with Straight Talk and Total by Verizon offering six months of free service for new customers on an unlimited plan.
Google Fi is offering its own trade-in program where you can save up to $799 on the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus, or up to $899 on the S23 Ultra. Though unlike some other carriers, Google Fi is only accepting newer devices in good condition. The discount is applied via month bill credits over 24 months, and if you cancel service before then, you’ll have to pay the remaining balance yourself.
