Recycle Your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: Get the Best Price Today

Live values, tips to get the best price, and answers to common questions

How much is the Galaxy S23 Ultra worth?

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is worth up to £171 today (512GB, Faulty condition) from our Best Pick recycler.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra has settled into the upper-mid tier of Samsung recycling values, still ahead of the standard flagships of its year and of most rival Android phones of the same age. Phantom Black and Green are the most traded finishes, 256GB is the common capacity, and 512GB and 1TB examples continue to pull ahead on sellmobilephones.com. Its curved display means edge scratches are the usual reason a handset drops from Excellent to Good, so check the sides as well as the face.

Why does the Galaxy S23 Ultra hold its value?

The S23 Ultra was the first phone to use Samsung's 200MP main sensor, and paired with its 10x periscope it still takes photographs that hold up against newer flagships, which is the main reason buyers keep asking for it. Its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip was an unusually efficient generation, so real-world battery life on a healthy example remains good, and the large battery helps. The built-in S Pen makes it the last of the curved-screen Ultras with a stylus, a combination that has its own following in the refurbished market. Samsung has continued to issue OS and security updates for the S23 range, so it is still a supported phone rather than an end-of-life one, and that keeps quotes respectable several years after launch.

How do I get the best price for my Galaxy S23 Ultra?

1 · Check the curved edges

Scratches and chips gather on the curved glass edges of the S23 Ultra, and inspection catches them even when the flat part of the screen looks clean.

2 · Send the S Pen

The stylus slots into the phone and is expected with it, so retrieve it from wherever it has been left before you post the handset.

3 · Try the 10x zoom

Shoot a few frames at full periscope zoom to make sure the long telephoto still focuses cleanly, as camera faults change the grade.

4 · Check for burn-in

After several years, display a plain grey image full screen and look for faint keyboard or status bar ghosting, which counts against your condition.

Galaxy S23 Ultra recycling FAQs

Can I sell a Galaxy S23 Ultra with a cracked curved screen?

Yes. Curved display damage is expensive to repair but the handset still has value, so select Faulty and describe the crack and any touch problems accurately. Your quotes will then come from the buyers that take damaged devices.

How much does condition matter on an S23 Ultra?

A great deal, because the model is now several years old and buyers are grading against a large supply. The distance between Excellent and Moderate on this handset is one of the widest in the Samsung range, so grade carefully using the table on this page.

What storage options does the Galaxy S23 Ultra have?

The S23 Ultra was sold in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. There is no microSD slot on the Ultra, so the internal capacity is what determines your quote tier.
