Planning to sell your Samsung, trade it in or maybe give it away? Smart move. Before you do, it’s important to completely wipe your device. This way, you protect your privacy and ensure the new owner can use it right away.
Tip: always back up your data or transfer it to your new phone before selling your old Samsung.
When selling your Samsung smartphone, you want to make sure no personal data such as photos, messages, apps or passwords remain. Also, if your Samsung account is still active, the phone cannot be set up by the new user. By wiping and logging out, you make the phone ready for the next buyer.
