Here’s the problem: You have old gear that you no longer want, but it’s new enough to have some value. The best solution may very well be this trade-in option from Amazon. Amazon Trade-In is a service that lets you trade in your old gear and get something new for 20% off, plus get an Amazon gift card. To get started, tap the button below and find the Amazon Trade-In portal. However, if you seek more guidance, keep reading and we’ll break the program down for you plus guide you to the best things you can buy via the program.
To start, begin thinking about what item you want to trade in, which will include more items than you might think possible. Amazon Trade-In allows you to trade up or ‘sideways’ in meaningful ways. For example, you can trade in your last gen Amazon Echo for the newest one or trade in your earbuds for an Amazon Echo. You aren’t limited to the category that you trade with. Additionally, due to the immense size of Amazon as a company, you can also trade in tech from other brands, such as Bose, Samsung, Google, and more. While old phones and gaming accessories won’t get you the 20% off on your next purchase, they will still get you a gift card.
Next, choose what you want to buy with the discount you’ll be receiving. There are quite a lot to choose from, with many tech goodies from Echo, Amazon Fire, Kindle, Ring, Blink, and eero all represented. Tap the button at the bottom of this page and scroll down to start shopping on your own or look at the upcoming table for a list of our favorite picks on the latest goods. For now, add the item to your cart.
Finally, once you’ve made your selection of product go back to the Amazon Trade-In hub by tapping the button below to get your discount. While this is technically the first step from Amazon’s perspective, we think it makes sense to know what you’re trading in and what you want before choosing a discount. As a result, you’ll see the categories of trade-in discounts below the “Choose your discount to get started” banner. The six main categories are in a row at the top, with the phone and gaming categories in a separate row below. Just tap which item you want and follow the on-screen instructions to tell Amazon about your item and that’s it, you’re ready to trade-in your old device and get something new with a hefty discount.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
