Whether it is because you are going to change it for a better one, if you have reached this post, it is because you are thinking of sell your android phone. Today there are many buying and selling websites and applications of second-hand items, and many interested in acquiring cheap mobiles, so in principle it should not be very complicated, although it is true that some considerations must be taken into account.
If you are determined to sell your , we recommend that you carry out a series of previous steps, so that your sale is much more successful and smooth.
Are you going to sell your mobile? Follow these steps before
Gather the box and accessories
Any buyer will prefer a smartphone that comes in its box and with all accessories (charger, instructions, etc) than one that they will give us "bareback", with the mobile, cable and little else. Therefore, if you still have the packaging and accessories at home, we recommend that you find them and have them for the time of exchange. That gives a good image that you take care of your smartphone, since you even have the original box and accessories.
Logically, for this to be really a positive value in your sale, it is interesting that you take photos of them and indicate it in the advertisement that you put, to sell your device.
Take quality photos
Hardly someone is going to enter your smartphone through the eye, if the photos that can be found in the ad are blurry or unclear. For this reason, we advise you to take the photos that accompany your ad with a good camera and in a place where there is good lighting. And although it may seem obvious, do not forget to clean the phone to make it look better. Those photos that we sometimes see in advertisements with screens off and reflecting greasy finger stains, as if they are not going to give an interesting image to the buyer.
Restore it to factory settings
You don't want the person who buys your smartphone to access your personal information, right? So then format an android phone and return it to factory values, it is absolutely essential.
Although you may think that it is enough to delete your photos and uninstall your applications, there is so much data on a smartphone that it is likely that you will miss some. Therefore, resetting the phone to factory settings and leaving it as you took it out of the box is the best way to avoid problems.

The final step, meet the buyer
If you have done all of the above correctly, it is most likely that someone will contact you, through the ad you have published. When meeting a stranger, it is best to do it in a public place, a bar, cafeteria or place frequented by more people.
We are talking about mobile phones that can be worth from 100 euros, to more than 500 in some cases, so meeting in a public place will keep potential buyers with bad intentions away. Having done this, it only remains to introduce ourselves and sometimes endure the buyer's haggling, that there you must be clear about your red price line, if we are not sure, we will lose money for sure.
