A number of awesome Galaxy S22 deals have hit the official Samsung Store this week, including not just enhanced trade-in rebates of up to $1,000 but also a free upgrade to a 256GB storage model.

Available on the standard Samsung Galaxy S22 (retails for $799 (opens in new tab)), Galaxy S22 Plus ($999 (opens in new tab)), and the lavish Galaxy S22 Ultra ($1,299 (opens in new tab)), these deals are quite possibly the best we've seen yet on these stunning new Android flagship devices.

While it's not unusual to see trade-in rebates all year round with Samsung Galaxy S22 deals (opens in new tab), those are often exclusive to carrier devices. What makes the official Samsung Store a particularly good pick is that it offers not just Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile devices, but the choice to pick up a cheap unlocked device.

With the maximum trade-in rebates available today you'll technically be able to pick up the standard Samsung Galaxy S22 (opens in new tab) for just $99 - an absolute bargain for such a powerful device. You can then pair it up with a prepaid or bring it to a major carrier, the choice is yours. Plus, you'll fully own the device for whenever you want to trade in next time - with the extra added value for having a 256GB model, no less.

If you're interested, there are plenty of other deals also available in this week's pre-Mother's Day sale at Samsung. We've rounded up a few favorites just down below but you can head directly to the sale using this link here (opens in new tab).

Not only can you currently get an enhanced trade-in rebate of up to $700 (effectively bagging you a device for $99), but you can get a free upgrade from 128GB to a 256GB device on the house. While having that extra storage space might not appeal to all, it's a great thing to have if you plan on selling or trading in your Galaxy S22 further down the line.
