Best Samsung Galaxy S23 deals and prices of March 2023: free phones, trade-in discounts, and more
The flagship has landed.

Since the flagship lineup first hit store shelves on February 17th, we've seen just about every type of Samsung Galaxy S23 deal imaginable, from straight discounts and trade-in offers to virtual gift cards and free subscriptions to streaming services. Clearly, it's a buyer's market, but how long will these Galaxy S23 deals last? Lucky for you, we're here to keep track of all the best prices so you know where to look when you're ready to buy the newest Samsung flagship.
We're already confident that the S23 and S23 Ultra are among the best Android phones of the year. All three phones boast bigger batteries and the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and as we noted in our Galaxy S23 Ultra review, that phone features the best camera technology on any Galaxy phone to date. Let's take a look at the best deals that are available now, starting with the base S23.

FAQ
How much is the Samsung Galaxy S23?

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus typically retails for around $999 (256GB) and $1,119 (512GB), while the Galaxy S23 Ultra will set you back $1,199.99 for the 256GB version, $1,299 for 512GB, and $1,619 for the enormous 1TB device.
Naturally, these prices are before any discounts are applied, which is why the above deals are so crucial.
Should I upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S23?
The Galaxy S22 series was an outstanding lineup of devices, and at first glance, the S23 series may not look that different. While that may be true to the naked eye, the biggest improvements of the S23 series can be found when you go under the hood. The new phones boast bigger batteries, improved camera technology (especially in the Galaxy S23 Ultra), and the top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor for lightning-fast performance and efficiency.
But should you upgrade if you already own a Galaxy S22? That's where things get complicated. It really comes down to you, your budget, and how you plan to use your devices. If you're perfectly happy with your S22, you might as well keep it until the OS upgrades and security updates run out. But if you're eligible for a great trade-in deal or you simply like to be on the cutting edge of the smartphone landscape, you could do a lot worse than the Samsung Galaxy S23.
Quality phones deserve quality protection, so don't forget to pair your S23 with one of the best Samsung Galaxy S23 cases, Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus cases, or Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra cases.
