What affects how much you get for your Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
Your quote depends on a handful of factors we check when your device arrives, so it helps to know them before you send it in.
- Condition. Sealed and brand-new devices command the highest price. Premium is like-new. Great means light wear. Good means visible use but still fully functional. * Storage capacity. A 1TB Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra typically pays more than the 512GB or 256GB versions. * Battery health. 80%+ battery health qualifies for the GOOD grade and above; below that drops you a tier. * Network lock. Unlocked devices are worth more than locked ones. * Box and accessories. Original packaging is only required for the “NEW (sealed)” grade.
Matching the condition you select to what actually arrives is what gets you the full quoted price with no last-minute deductions.
