What Affects Your Device's Value?

Several factors determine how much we can offer for your used phone. Here are the key considerations:

Device Model & Age

Newer models and popular devices (like recent iPhones or Samsung Galaxy phones) command higher prices. We accept devices up to 5 years old.

Storage Capacity

Higher storage variants (256GB, 512GB) typically get 10-30% more than base models. We verify actual available storage during inspection.

Physical Condition

As per our grading standards above, devices in better condition receive higher valuations. Cosmetic damage can reduce value by 15-40%.

Functionality

All core functions must work - touchscreen, cameras, buttons, speakers, microphones, and connectivity features.

Battery Health

For iPhones, we check battery percentage in Settings. For Androids, we run diagnostic tests. Batteries below 80% may affect value.

Original Accessories

Including original charger, cable, box, and documentation can increase your device's value by 5-10%.
