    Have the S10 and they are offering me €500 for it.

    I have the s10 plus 128GB and it's the same price for the s10. I'd love for Samsung to explain their logic on that:rolleyes:
    It was a fair price difference between the two, when I was purchasing mine ;)

    They don't even list a trade-in price for the S10 5g.

    The camera seems to stick out a bit for such an expensive phone.

    It's as if they designed it deliberately that way to show it off.

    Where are you getting the trade in price for the S10+? I can't see it on the Irish Samsung site

    They are probably using a large sensor with large photosites for better low light noise performance. The bigger the sensor the thicker the phone has to be because the lens has to be further away from the sensor in order to illuminate all of it. It's the price for better photos. The Nokia Lumia 808 Pureview was 14mm thick, but it had a 41 MP sensor 8 years ago.

    True but once you put a case on it, I can't imagine it making any difference.

    seemingly the 3x hybrid optical zoom on the s20 and s20+ has no actual optical element to it at all and is pure digital

    Put one of the s20 variants in the basket, then click on the basket at the top
    of the page. Once the basket opens, look below the phone listing.You'll see a drop down box for trade-in.

    I meant to add.....Depending on the browser some of the Trade-in phone options might not appear. Usually if you open the basket in a new private window, all the Trade-in phones should appear.

    I got the full trade in value for S9 last year and I dont recall any complaints about it last year when doing it for S10.

    It was a very good set up.Prepaid envelope came with my S10 and it was picked up at the house by UPS ,I think its something like 28 days after delivery you have to send the phone or they will charge the full amount.

    And then for all of 40 seconds you wonder why your new phone won't unlock. :cool:

    I am surprised they don't ask you to pay full price and refund when the trade in arrives.

    They deduct the Trade-in money straight away and as soon as you pre-order the new phone they charge your card straight away.
    They've been doing the Trade-ins for a few years now. I'd imagine they are well aware of all the various scam attempts and have a good handle on it.

    I had an s9 and changed up to an s10 128GB late last year but purchased the s20+ 5G this morning and selected the €500 trade in option as seems good value for the s10 looking on adverts.
    Ordered up an otter box case now for it, it says in stock with them but that would be very quick to have them in stock.

    There will be no chasing ,you will just get billed for the full amount once the deadline passes. They already have your card details,probably a 2 minute job to get full payment.

    Could people not just block their card? Like with revolut etc?

    I'm obviously not trying to suss it out, just seemed a little weird to me

    Sure you aren't.:rolleyes:

    Bank would probably honour it if your authorisation pre-dates you blocking it. I'm sure this would have been sorted by car hire companies and hotels, long ago.

    Depending on your Contract. You can check if you're eligible for an upgrade on Eir's site and you can check your contract details.
    You're current s10 is locked until you finish the contract, unless there's an option to pay the outstanding money owed on it.

    Can't believe the S10+ is the same trade in price as the S10, seems like we've been completely duped.

    Although there's little scratch across the front of my screen anyway so they probably wouldn't accept it.

    Had you removed the original screen protector that came fitted on the S10+ ?
    If not it might only be a scratch on the protector.
    The trade-in for the plus should get more, but as I ,mentioned earlier in this thread.... I'd love for Samsung to explain the logic there.
