Samsung is set to host its first Unpacked event of 2026 tonight at 11:30 PM IST. During the event, the company is expected to unveil the much-awaited Galaxy S26 series, alongside the Galaxy Buds 4 series, the Galaxy Book 6 Series, and more.
However, ahead of today’s launch event, the Flipkart microsite for the Galaxy S26 series now lists several smartphones that are eligible for a “Guaranteed Exchange Value” when purchasing a Galaxy S26 series device.
Here’s what we know.
Flipkart page reveals Guaranteed Exchange Values
On the microsite dedicated to the Galaxy S26 series, Flipkart has listed Guaranteed Exchange Values for multiple smartphones. The list includes devices ranging from Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro Max to Samsung’s Galaxy A34 5G, among others.
In a banner on the page, Flipkart claims that while competitors advertise “up to” exchange values, it is offering a guaranteed exchange value for the listed smartphones when customers trade them in for a Galaxy S26 series device.
To get the GEV (Guaranteed Exchange Value) offer on Flipkart for the Galaxy S26 Series, follow these steps:
Enter your delivery address or PIN code.
Choose the “Buy with Exchange” option.
Select your old device from the list.
The assured exchange value will be applied automatically.
Complete the purchase by following the on-screen steps.
Reportedly, there will be no extra evaluation or deductions at the time of delivery. However, the delivery executive will use a diagnostic app to check the phone’s brand and model. And this same GEV (Guaranteed Exchange Value) offer was also given at the time of the Nothing Phone (3a) Series launch.
Below is the list of smartphones along with their guaranteed exchange values as shown on the microsite.
