How to prepare to sell your Galaxy S24
Selling your Galaxy S24 can be a great way to earn extra cash while ensuring your device gets a second life. To maximize your resale value and ensure a smooth transaction, follow this step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Determine your Galaxy S24’s Functionality & Condition
Grab your Galaxy S24 and determine which Eco Toreda Condition Standard best describes it.
- Screen & Body: Look for scratches, dents, cracks, or discoloration.
- Buttons & Ports: Test all buttons, charging ports, and any other connectors.
- Battery Health: In general, a battery with 80% or more battery charging capacity is considered Good. If yours is less than 80%, choose Poor Battery.
- Performance: Ensure your Galaxy S24 powers on, responds correctly, and connects to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth.
- Accessories: Grab the original Galaxy S24 accessories (charger, power cable) are available and functional.
Step 2: Remove Personal Data from Your Device
Before handing over your Galaxy S24, erase all personal data to protect your privacy. Follow these general steps:
- Back Up Your Data: Use cloud storage or a computer to save important files, contacts, and photos.
- Sign Out of Accounts: Deactivate any connected accounts (e.g., Apple ID, Google, Samsung, Microsoft) to prevent activation locks.
- Factory Reset your Galaxy S24: Navigate to the settings menu and select “Reset” or “Erase All Content.” Ensure the process is complete before shutting down the device.
- Remove External Storage (If Applicable): Take out SD cards or SIM cards before packaging.
Step 3: What to Bring

- Accessories: Include any extras that came with the Galaxy S24, such as a stylus, dock, or protective case.
Step 4: Final Touches Before Selling
A clean and well-presented device makes a big difference. Take the time to do the following:

- Clean the Device: Wipe down the screen and body with a microfiber cloth and an alcohol-based cleaner.
- Check All Ports: Inspect charging, audio, and other ports to ensure they’re free of dust and debris.
