How Much Is a Samsung Galaxy Worth? (2026 Resale Price Guide)

$80 – $650

depends heavily on model (S-series vs. A-series), generation, and storage

Samsung Galaxy phones depreciate faster than iPhones but still have a strong resale market — especially S-series flagships. Galaxy S24 Ultra and Z Fold models command premium prices even used.

What affects the value?

Model tier

S24 Ultra/Z Fold6 command $500–650. S24/S23 standard: $250–380. A-series (A54, A34): $80–180.

Storage

256GB is the most-demanded tier for S-series. 512GB adds $40–70. Base 128GB sells quickly but cheaply.

Condition

Samsung displays are expensive to replace — screen damage drops value 40–55%.

Unlocked vs. carrier

Unlocked models sell for $30–60 more. Samsung phones are easier to unlock than iPhones post-purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Do Samsung phones hold value as well as iPhones?

No — Samsung typically drops 15–25% faster than the equivalent iPhone generation. But flagship S-Ultra and Z Fold models buck this trend somewhat.

Q: Is the Z Fold worth selling now?

Z Fold6 still commands strong prices. Older Z Fold3/4 have dropped significantly — sell sooner rather than later as foldables become mainstream.

Q: What's the best platform for a Samsung?

eBay for highest reach; Swappa for Galaxy buyers who know specs. Facebook Marketplace for fast local cash.

Q: Does Samsung DeX mode affect value?

Marginally — mention it in the listing if selling an S or Z series. Some buyers specifically want it for laptop-replacement use cases.
