How much is my Samsung worth? UK recycler prices 2026

Samsung Galaxy phones are among the most actively traded devices on the UK recycling market. Here are current prices, what affects your phone's value, and how to maximise your return.

Galaxy S25+ 256GB good: £380-470

Galaxy S25 128GB good: £300-390

Galaxy S24 Ultra 256GB good: £420-530

Galaxy A55 128GB good: £120-165

Galaxy A54 128GB good: £95-140

Galaxy A53 128GB good: £70-110

The gap between best and worst recycler for the same Samsung can be £80-130 on premium models. Comparing before committing is essential.

What most affects your Samsung's value

Ultra vs standard — the S Ultra commands dramatically higher prices. The S25 Ultra fetches £200-300 more than the standard S25. The 200MP camera, embedded S-Pen and titanium build drive strong recycler demand.

Condition — excellent condition commands 15-25% more than good condition. Be accurate — recyclers inspect on arrival and revalue if damage is undisclosed.

Samsung account removed — critical step. Find My Mobile must be cleared before sending. Settings → Accounts and backup → Manage accounts → Samsung account → Remove account. A locked device gets rejected or revalued to zero.

Storage size — 256GB commands a meaningful premium over 128GB on S-series. 512GB and 1TB attract the highest prices from recyclers who know they can sell these configurations at a premium.

Battery condition — a Galaxy S phone that no longer lasts a full day will be devalued on inspection. Samsung does not show a percentage like iPhone, but recyclers test capacity. If your phone needs daily mid-day charging, flag it.

When to sell your Samsung

Samsung announces Galaxy S models in January. Sell in November or December for maximum prices ahead of the S26 announcement in January 2027. A-series models are less time-sensitive — sell when ready.

Samsung A-series vs S-series — which holds value better?

The S-series holds significantly better absolute value but the A-series represents better value retention as a percentage of original price. An S25 Ultra at £600+ recycling value is impressive, but it launched at £1,299 — a 54% retention rate. A Galaxy A55 at £130 recycling value launched at £449 — a 29% retention rate.

For value maximisation when originally purchasing: buy a refurbished S-series at a significant discount to its original launch price, use it for 2-3 years, then sell. The absolute recycling value of a Galaxy S-series phone is consistently higher than an A-series phone throughout the device's useful life.
