How Much Is My Samsung Worth UK? All Models Compared

What is your Samsung worth in 2026?

Samsung is the UK's most popular Android brand — and millions of used Galaxy phones change hands every year. But recycler prices for Samsung devices vary significantly depending on the model, condition, and where you sell.

This guide covers what to expect for every major Samsung range and how to make sure you get the best price.

Samsung Galaxy S series — current values

The Galaxy S range holds its value reasonably well compared to budget Android phones, but not as well as equivalent iPhones. Flagship Samsung models depreciate faster than Apple in the first 12 months.

Galaxy S25 series (2025)

Still close to retail value. If you bought one and want to upgrade, sell sooner rather than later — Samsung launch events push prices up temporarily before they settle lower.

Galaxy S24 series (2024)

The most traded Samsung model right now. Excellent condition S24 Ultra fetches £400–£550 from UK recyclers. Standard S24 in good condition sits at £200–£280.

Galaxy S23 series (2023)

A popular mid-tier resale option. S23 Ultra in excellent condition: £280–£380. Standard S23: £130–£180.

Galaxy S22 series (2022)

Values have settled. S22 Ultra excellent: £180–£260. Standard S22: £80–£120.

Galaxy S21 and older

Below £100 for most models in good condition. S21 Ultra in excellent condition may reach £120–£150 from the best-paying recyclers.

Samsung Galaxy A series — current values

The A series depreciates faster than the S range. Most A series phones are worth £30–£100 depending on age and model.

Galaxy A55 / A54: £80–£130 excellent condition
Galaxy A35 / A34: £60–£90 excellent condition
Galaxy A25 / A24: £40–£70 excellent condition
Galaxy A14 and older: £20–£45 depending on condition

Samsung Galaxy Z series (foldables)

Foldables hold value better than standard Samsung models, largely because the market is smaller and second-hand demand is strong.

Galaxy Z Fold 6 / Fold 5: £600–£900 excellent condition
Galaxy Z Flip 6 / Flip 5: £350–£500 excellent condition
Galaxy Z Fold 4: £400–£600 excellent condition
Galaxy Z Flip 4: £200–£300 excellent condition

What affects your Samsung value

Condition is the biggest factor. A cracked screen typically cuts the value by 40–60%.

Storage size adds value on flagship models. A 256GB S24 Ultra is worth meaningfully more than a 128GB equivalent.

Network lock reduces value. An unlocked Samsung is worth more than a network-locked one.

Original box and accessories rarely add much — most recyclers only care about the phone itself.

When to sell your Samsung

The Galaxy S range typically launches in January/February, and the Galaxy Z foldables in August. Prices dip noticeably in the weeks after a new launch.

Sell before the next launch announcement for the best price.
