That credit can be used to buy one of Samsung’s new laptops or a handful of accessories, however, you can’t use it to offset the price of the phone itself.

Samsung’s latest phones are faster than the S22 series thanks to a new Galaxy-optimized version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Each S23 phone also gets a bigger battery and other incremental improvements, though only the Galaxy S23 Ultra comes with a stylus and a 200-megapixel main camera sensor.
