Find out if there are redemption plans…
In the United States, exchange plans are very common. And although in Spain we are not so used to the same manufacturer changing our old phone for another, there are some brands that are doing it. Surely the best example of this is Samsung with its Plan Renove, designed precisely for this purpose.
The operation of this system is quite easy, and just take a look at the service’s website:
- Select the model of your old device
- Answer a few short questions to find out the estimated maximum value* you can get from the sale of your old device.
- If you accept the estimated valuation of World Business you will receive the necessary information to know how to send your old device totally free.
- World Business SRL will review your device and offer you the final assessment. If you agree with it, you will receive the amount corresponding to said assessment.

Or think about selling it on your own
Selling your Android without trading it to the manufacturer is another option. A valid alternative if you do not have a Samsung, as well as if you want to exchange it for another or directly receive the money to use it in another way.
International platforms such as Swappa can help you when it comes to having references on how much money to ask for. Although it does not work in Spain, You can do the simulation to have some data that helps you orient yourself.
With enough information, it is somewhat less likely that you will end up selling your smartphone with Android OS on the cheap. Meanwhile, the good news is that sales of new phones are going down and used ones are going up.
