Mobile Value Calculator
Pick your phone and enter details to see its estimated market value.
How mobile value is estimated
The mobile value calculator estimates what your used phone is worth today based on its brand, model, condition and age. iPhone resale value, Samsung trade-in value and Android market value all follow different depreciation curves.
It helps you decide whether to sell, trade in or hold onto your phone, and gives a realistic starting point for listings on OLX, Dubizzle, Swappa and similar marketplaces.
Values are estimates — real offers depend on local demand, battery health and buyer negotiation.
FAQs
What is a mobile value calculator?
A mobile value calculator estimates the current resale value of a smartphone based on factors such as brand, model, age, storage capacity and condition. It helps you understand what you could expect when selling or trading in your phone.
How accurate is the phone value estimate?
Our estimates are based on typical depreciation patterns and market data. Real values vary with local demand, buyer negotiation, battery health and market trends. Use the estimate as a guide and check live listings on OLX, Dubizzle or Swappa for exact prices.
Which phone holds value best?
iPhones retain value better than most Android phones — typically 40-60% after one year. Samsung flagships retain about 30-50%. Budget Androids depreciate faster due to frequent model releases and competition.

What determines a phone's current market value
Market value combines four factors: original price, age-based depreciation, physical/battery condition, and current demand for that specific model — a still-popular older model can hold value better than a less popular but newer one.
Regional demand varies too — a model heavily marketed and sold in one country may have a smaller resale market (and lower value) in another, even at the same original price.
Tips
- Check recent sold listings for your exact model, not just asking prices — asking prices are often optimistic.
- Popular, well-supported models hold value better regardless of age — check ongoing demand, not just specs.
- Battery health and screen condition are the two factors buyers check first — be upfront about both.
More questions
Why do two identical phones sell for different prices?
Condition, battery health, included accessories, and regional demand all affect the final price even for identical models and storage.
How often does market value change?
It shifts gradually month to month, but drops noticeably around a successor model's launch — check close to when you plan to sell.
