Crazy value loss: Android smartphones are a huge sum

iPhone's value is more stable

Used iPhones usually sell better than used Android smartphones. At least in terms of value stability. However, in Android smartphones, the price can drop dramatically in some cases, twice as much as the iPhone.

Even after a long period of time, the iPhone can still be sold at a fairly stable price, which is nothing new. However, the BankMyCell report made people listen. According to data from hundreds of comparisons made here, just over a year later, almost all top Android smartphones lost more than 45% of their value. It will take two years for Apple's iPhone to cause a similar loss of value.

In 2019, the Samsung Galaxy S10 + is the worst among Android flagships. In the 9 months after this version was released, the value was lost by about 38%. In the same period last year, the Galaxy S9 + lost more than 30%. On the other hand, the iPhone XR lost only 21% of its value in 2019 and one year later. The iPhone XR is especially popular with you-it is the most popular smartphone ever made last year.

Cheap phones are hit especially hard

Cheap smartphones have been particularly hit by the loss of value. Motorola One has lost the most in less than 14 months since the end of 2018, reaching 87%. The resale value in December 2019 was approximately $ 43, or slightly less than € 38. The mid-range model, which sells for $ 349, has gone crazy.
