Samsung S25 Ultra Thread - Purchase Decision and Features Discussion

The maximum amount you can get for your exchange is the one displayed in the app or on the website. However, it is not guaranteed that you will receive this full amount. Flipkart, in particular, rarely offers the maximum value—they always deduct something.

On the other hand, if you exchange your phone directly with Samsung, there is a higher chance that you will receive the exact amount shown in the app. In my case, I received the exact amount displayed on the website, without any deductions—not even a single rupee. However, such cases are rare. I was able to get the full amount because my phone was in excellent condition.


Samsung uses the same diagnostic tool{Cashify Diagnosis} to assess your phone’s connectivity. Minor scratches usually don’t matter much, but there should be no dents, and the phone should be in good working condition. If these conditions are met, you will most likely receive the full exchange amount.

As for Cashify, they have a diagnostic tool that you can download to check your phone’s condition. The tool runs a series of tests, and if your phone passes all of them, you will receive the full exchange amount. However, for every failed test, the exchange value will be reduced accordingly. You can download the tool before the exchange to get an estimate of whether you will receive the full value for your phone or not.
Thanks man, Phone is in excellent condition. No scratches and no dents. Only thing is i bought it from Australia and it’s out of warranty. Let me try the tool to check it once.
 
As someone who used Samsung Fold for some time, Foldable phones are just a gimmick, the crease on the big screen hinders with usability, the folded experience isn't great due to thickness of the phone, carrying it around is a job of its own due to thickness. Its very fragile and the big screen can get damaged anytime it likes, regardless if you dropped it or not, screen-gaurds are a hassle if you want a no-risk installation you have to go Samsung service centers every few months.

The only foldable phone that's worth it is Pixel Imo, screen crease still exists but its so thin that you can use it while folded without feeling the extra thickness.
 
S25U retailing at 5099 AED with some exchange offers in Dubai. That translates to ₹121000 without any exchange offers. Offline retailers might offer better discounts in Dubai too. Duty free I guess it will not be available.
S25U 512 MB middle east version is retailing at 4500 AED and international version at around 4400 AED on some online portals (such as noon) in UAE.

Friends, Any good deals as of now for S25 Ultra.. My wife is looking to upgrade.. Anything in offline or online that you could suggest would be really good.

@vaibhav111 or others who already purchased.
try offline and say i would buy right away so you will get the same deal cause some unit would be cancelled by the user so high chance you might get, it just a assumption if you don't then kindly wait for some deal.
 
On Amazon I see that the 512gb variant can also be bought for 1.16L by selecting "other offer" option.

Though I'm not sure how reliable the seller is.
