It's simple to switch to Samsung, even if you want to switch from iPhone to Samsung, with just a few steps.

• First, check your Trade-In eligibility to see if your phone qualifies for a discount toward your new device, even if it's from another brand or has a cracked screen.

• When you are ready to switch phones, use enhanced Smart Switch to transfer your data wirelessly. The next-gen Smart Switch on Samsung transfers more data types than before — including photos, videos, contacts, call history, home screen layout and eSIMs — without installing an app. Just scan the QR code that comes up during setup.

• Finally, send in your old phone. If you signed up for the Samsung Trade-In program, simply return your previous device to Samsung and enjoy your new Galaxy.

• If you want to see what it's like to use Galaxy devices before you switch, you can use Try Galaxy to get the experience on your current device.
