How Much Is My Phone Worth in Singapore? 2026 Trade-In Value Guide
Thinking about selling your old phone but not sure how much it is actually worth?
Your phone’s trade-in value can vary significantly depending on the model, storage capacity, physical condition, battery health, functional condition and current market demand.
A phone that looks similar on the outside may receive a very different valuation simply because it has more storage, better battery health or fewer scratches.
At MobileRelation, you can check your phone trade-in value in Singapore by selecting your device and answering a few questions about its condition.
This guide explains the main factors that affect your phone’s trade-in value and what you can check before selling your iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel or other smartphone in Singapore.
💰 What Determines Your Phone Trade-In Value?
There is no single trade-in price that applies to every phone of the same model.
The final value depends on several factors that determine the device’s condition, usability and resale demand.
| Factor | How It Can Affect Trade-In Value |
|---|---|
| Phone Model | Newer and more in-demand models generally retain more value. |
| Storage Capacity | Higher-storage versions may have a higher trade-in value. |
| Screen Condition | Scratches, cracks or display defects can reduce the valuation. |
| Housing Condition | Dents, deep scratches and paint damage may affect the final offer. |
| Battery Health | Battery condition can affect the value of supported devices, particularly iPhones. |
| Functional Issues | Camera, touchscreen, Face ID, fingerprint or display problems can affect eligibility or value. |
| Accessories | Original accessories and packaging may be considered during valuation. |
| Market Demand | Trade-in values can change as resale demand and market prices change. |
📱 1. Your Phone Model Matters
The first factor is simply which phone you own.
A recent flagship phone will usually have a different resale value from an older entry-level model.
Demand also matters. Popular devices from brands such as Apple, Samsung and Google may maintain stronger resale demand than models with a smaller second-hand market.
MobileRelation currently accepts a range of smartphone brands for trade-in, including Apple, Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, Honor, Oppo, Huawei and Nothing.
Tip:
Start by finding your exact model
rather than estimating the value
based only on the phone’s brand.
💾 2. Storage Capacity Can Change the Value
Two phones from the same series can still have different trade-in values because of storage capacity.
For example, an iPhone with 512GB storage may receive a different estimated value from the same model with 256GB.
The same applies to Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices that are available in several storage configurations.
Before requesting a quote, check the exact storage capacity of your device.
🖥️ 3. Screen Condition Is One of the Most Important Factors
Your screen is one of the first areas checked during a phone valuation.
A device with a clean, fully working display will generally be valued differently from one with visible scratches, cracks or display problems.
MobileRelation’s online trade-in system distinguishes between conditions such as:
• Perfect condition
• Light scratches
• Deep scratches
• Screen or display defects
• Touchscreen issues
Be as accurate as possible when selecting your phone’s condition. The online quote is an estimate and the device will still need to be verified before the transaction is completed.
🔍 4. Housing Scratches and Dents Also Matter
Do not only check the screen.
The frame, back panel and overall housing condition can also affect your phone’s trade-in value.
Common cosmetic issues include:
• Light scratches
• Paint peeling
• Deep scratches
• Dents
• Impact marks
Even when a phone works perfectly, visible physical damage may reduce its resale value.
🔋 5. Does Battery Health Affect iPhone Trade-In Value?
Yes, battery condition can affect the valuation of an iPhone.
MobileRelation’s iPhone trade-in quotation system includes battery health as part of the condition assessment for supported used iPhone models.
A battery with stronger remaining health may require less servicing before the device can be resold, while a heavily degraded battery can reduce the estimated value.
Before selling your iPhone, you can check its battery health using Apple’s battery health guide, or by going to:
iPhone:
Settings → Battery → Battery Health
Settings → Battery → Battery Health
Remember that battery health is only one part of the valuation. Storage, screen condition, housing condition and functional issues still matter.
⚙️ 6. Functional Problems Can Affect Your Quote
A phone may look perfect but still have internal or functional problems.
Examples include:
• Unable to power on
• Face ID or fingerprint sensor problems
• Screen or display defects
• Touchscreen problems
• Camera faults
These issues can affect the final valuation and some devices may require an additional manual assessment.
If your phone has a problem that is not covered by the online options, you can contact MobileRelation for further assessment.
💥 Can You Trade In a Damaged Phone in Singapore?
A phone does not necessarily need to be in perfect condition to qualify for trade-in.
Devices with cosmetic wear, battery issues or certain defects may still be eligible, depending on the model and the extent of the damage.
The easiest way to find out is to select your device and accurately describe its condition using the online quotation system.

Your phone’s trade-in value is not fixed forever.
Smartphone resale prices can change as new models launch, demand shifts and more used devices enter the market.
This is why a quotation you receive today may not necessarily remain the same weeks or months later.
If you are already planning to sell or upgrade your phone, checking the current quotation gives you a better idea of its present market value.
📦 8. Should You Keep the Original Box and Accessories?
If you still have the original box, charging cable or other accessories, keep them together with the device.
Original accessories, packaging and remaining warranty coverage may be considered during the overall valuation.
Even if you no longer have everything, you can still check whether your phone qualifies for trade-in.
🍎 Check Your iPhone Trade-In Value
MobileRelation’s Apple trade-in section includes a wide range of iPhone generations, from newer flagship devices to older models.
Used iPhone quotations can take into account storage, screen condition, housing condition, battery health, accessories and functional issues.
