With the Samsung Galaxy S6 set to release Friday, now is the perfect time to trade in your old Samsung Galaxy smartphone to get the best price before purchasing the new model.

The 2015 flagship is selling for $199 with a two-year contract with most carriers and for at least $650 with no contract, which is quite pricey. But by trading in your old Galaxy model, you can get up to $300 to put toward a new device. Trading companies, including Gazelle, Nextworth and Glyde, are offering nice sums for Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 models.

Here’s a rundown of which Samsung Galaxy models have the best trade in value based on carrier and color.

Values are dependent on color of the device in addition to whose network it runs on. Across the board, AT&T devices have the highest trade in value, followed by T-Mobile devices, then Verizon and finally Sprint.
