I recently wondered how much the trade in values would be for the newest smartphones. So for this article, I looked at HTC One M8, Sony Xperia Z2 and Samsung Galaxy S5. All these phones are being sold sim free for around the £520-£570.

The HTC One M8 and Samsung Galaxy S5 have the highest values at around £270 dependant on conditions. What did surprise me is the white Samsung S5 had the higher trade in over the black Samsung S5. IMO I stand by the fact that the white Samsung S5 is the better looking finish. Okay, it’s was only £10 on average more but it was still higher.

The shocker was the trade in value for the Sony Xperia Z2 at £162 as an average. That’s a whole £100 lower.

Of course if you want to get more money for your phone there is eBay, although after the major hack on eBay I am not comfortable with the security. So my personal preference is using PSC Forum .
