I'm planning on selling my DNA (with a Nokia wireless charger) and Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet around the time the Note 3 is released. The Note 3 will essentially be a faster, higher resolution, and more portable (albeit smaller) version of the Note 10.1, which I love. I also have a DNA, which is the main reason I'm here.
My DNA has a few small scratches at the top of the screen over the verizon logo (not part of the actual screen) and a very small knick on the bottom left edge of phone which isn't very noticeable at all. I don't have any pictures of my phone to show, but you can trust that my description is accurate as I'm trying to accurately gauge what I can get out of the phone money-wise. Other than what's previously mentioned, the phone is in perfect condition. Runs well, very smooth, etc etc. Assuming I maintain the phone until September/October, how much can I expect to get out of it? I've seen listings on Ebay for around $325-$400 used, and I expect I can get just a little bit more by including the charger.
I'm curious to know if time was anything to do with the resale value. Will I be able to get the same $325-$400 out of it if I keep using it for about 4 months longer? I've had it since Christmas, so I'd have been using it for about 9 months. I assume the value would drop a little bit, but I'm not sure how much.
Thanks in advance for the help, I appreciate it!
I'm sure with the introduction of new devices like Galaxy s4 an HTC One or the Note 3 will most definitely lower your resale value on your device to the low end of things.
Its pretty much how it works with electronics they get obsolete really quick.

I also look at these things. I've been doing it for 6 years. I try to buy and sell during the smallest drop where the phone is still relevant. I find that to be buying at 400-450 and selling at 250-300. Usually i buy around 4-6 months after a phone comes out and sell it after owning for just less than a year. The DNA dropped in price quick. I was able to grab it just after 3 months for $375, i expect to see $300 around August when i will probably get the S4.
with that said, Verizon and sprint lose value much quicker because of the lack of true GSM, though sprint is worse by far. I am predicting this phone to be around 325 come august and 275 by christmas. then it will stabilize at 200-250 for another year. We are in the quick downfall period for the phone. Also Brands matter. I've found Samsung galaxy to be the best retainer followed by HTC, then Moto and LG.
here's how it usually flows.
A typical new phone that retails for $650
First 3 months Loss of < 150(500)
Next 3 months Loss of <100 (400)
next 3 months loss of <75 (325)
next 3 months loss of <75(250)
next 12 months loss of <50 (200)
I'll second the $300 estimate for late summer. It's a decent time to sell as the pre Christmas phones haven't been announced yet. Once that happens the value will go into the $hitter.

The Note 2 is retailing around $700 online at Verizon right now, so I think it'd be safe to assume the Note 3 will be around $750-$800 when it's first released? And how long would it be until I could probably buy a Note 3 off amazon or ebay at a slightly lower price? Thanks for the replies guys, I appreciate it.

The Note2 price on Verizon did not hold up very well. I think the big size eventually turns off users who really were not expecting that which creates a larger than average resale market. When i bought my DNA back in March, there were NOTE2 going straight up for trades with the DNA which you could easily have gotten for $375-$400. Both devices came out in November but the Note 2 retailed much higer at $700. That's a $300 drop in 4 months. If i was in the market for a Note, i'd wait 4 months. It dropped about a hundred a month those 1st 4 months and since has stabilized and even gone up a little.

Sam's Club was giving away Note II's on Verizon as early as January. I could see the Note III being the same.

let me tell you something
1$= 18 egypt pound
so to replace screen costs 750 pound
and redmi note 2 costs 1800 pound
https://www.jumia.com.eg/redmi-note-2-5.5-4g-dual-sim-mobile-phone-dark-grey-xiaomi-mpg15139.html
and redmi note 3 costs 3000
https://www.jumia.com.eg/xiaomi-red...obile-phone-silver-free-earphones-613877.html
so why choose redmi note 3
It's not worth it. Go buy Redmi Note 3 with Snapdragon CPU. I'm from Poland and Redmi Note 3 pro price is same as Redmi Note 2 price.
I would go for the RedMi 4 Pro (not Note).
It's a never device, it still has a display bigger then your current phone, has a Qualcomm SOC and it should cost just a little more.
You have also to consider the fact that MediaTek doesn't give many updates of Android version for a SOC, just one if you are lucky, and even if they do, XiaoMi doesn't.
It also have a bigger battery, RN2 has a big problem with that.
dude, don't buy this phone, i tell you why
1. this phone has baaaaad so bad battery life
2. the build quallity is so below average
3. it's really get "too" hot
it may cheap , and has high price to permorance ratio, but it's not worth it, there is still better alternative
(sorry bad english):good::good::good::good:
I wouldn'T buy it either. Bad battery, bad customer support and xiaomi releases new phones every two weeks or something. If you can get the RN2 for 30$ ok, but if it's 100$ then you can getter phones for just 20$ more or sth

I didn't know that it's so big difference in price in egypt, becouse here in serbia difference is about 10€. Honeslty phone isn't so bad, it's ok for it's price, xiaomi doesn't have best costumer suport, but what company has. It has nice screen, ok battery life, solid number of custom roms, camera is decent. I can only say it's not flagship killer but in range of low budget phones is one of best.
Yes its worth as a temporary replacement.im using it since 4 days and on a user experience basis its much better than on my g4. everything is smooth.cons are only the camera and battery as compared to a s5 or lg g4.btw my g4 has been sent for repair n i dont know whether it will be back alive!it got the bootloop problem after only 10 month usage.
I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 4 that I have cracked the screen on. I wish to fix this, however, the Note 4 displays are like $150+. You can buy the glass separately for like $10 but then you have to heat the edge up to 190F to separate it from the digitizer. Not sure how I feel about that...I might try it though, but if I wreck the phone then I will have to get something new (to me) regardless. Plus the Sprint Note 4 ROM support is pretty bad, there's really only 1 ROM that is receiving regular updates and it runs like crap on my phone. On the flip side I am still paying for this stupid Note 4, at least I got from Sprint for $360 rather than the original $720. So I'm going to have to pay it off regardless.
---or---
LG G3s are now under $150 on eBay, brand spanking new. I had an LG G2 before and I LOVED LOVED LOVED it. I was browsing the Sprint LG G3 Android Development folders and it seems like there's still pretty good ROM support for the G3. I could get an LG G3 and just set my Note aside. I would be THRILLED to have buttons on the back again, I really miss that.
OR
I could also do something completely different like a Moto G4 plus but it's more, like $249.
SO
How long are you guys planning on hanging on to your G3's? The size of the audience can drive ROM development, in my experience.
Is the LG G4 really that significant of an upgrade? What about the G5?
What would you do if you were in my shoes? Keep in mind I'm cheap.

Yeah thinking about jumping on this. Only things holding me back is I don't know how it'll be going back to a smaller screen from the Nexus 6 and I'm assuming the OnePlus 5 and an Axon 8 will be released in the near future, probably both for ~$400.
I don't know, I just know right now has never looked like a better time to buy an Axon 7 standard model.
Well I was all set to buy it but then it tacked on $30 in taxes. ]=
Anyway I found one in great condition on Swappa for $300 tax free so I went with that. [=
Sold my Note 9 last night for the equivalent of 640 USD in my local currency. The retail price of the S10+ is 995 USD, but there's a pre-order cashback for about 70 USD, and the free Galaxy Watch (not Active, just a 42mm Watch) will help cover the difference. Never really cared much for the S Pen anyway; bought the Note 9 because of the massive battery and it was starting to disapppoint in that regard. Until the S10+ comes, I'll be back to my S7 (flat). Anyone else upgrading from the Note 9 to the S10+?
I also traded in my Note 9 EXynos for the S10+ 128gb Blue Unlocked Snapdragon! I never used the spen... ??
I always say I'm going to skip one of the models each year and I never do. I'm going from Note 9 to S10+ as well.

I can tell from your username lol.
Seems like an unnatural upgrade path unless you didn't rely on the S Pen. But then that raises the question, why buy a Note at all? I'm trading my Note 8 and plan on selling the S10 (waiting for N10). In the meantime I'll try to find a cheap N4 to sketch on.
Doing the dame thing here. Pre booked the 128/8Gb Prism White.
Preordered the s10 128gb version. As i live in Australia, I'll be getting the exynos variant.
For preordering, samsung is throwing galaxy buds on top for free - not bad at all.
Im interested to see how the snapdragon and the exynos versions compare in terms of performance. Will be upgrading from an A5 2017 which i have been barley using a year
trading in my note 9 for the s10+ white ceramic. I always wanted and liked the s pen but i still hardly use it. Bought the 10+ from samsung, unlocked. I was gonna give my note 9 to my gf but she's tired of the hand me downs ?. Maybe I'll get her the note 10
Doing the same with my note 9 for the plus will probably get the note 10 as well

Me too!
I just sold my note 9 to pick up the s10. I wanted a slightly less wide phone and barely used the s-pen. The S10 feels just right! I hope the battery is the same or better.
Same here. Leaving my note 9 to s10+.
I love the note serie. But the s10+ is a good compromise between note and galaxy serie. Plus the battery is massive and hopefully it feels this way.
I gave my two months old Note 9 to my younger brother and bought a new S10+ in blue I have to rock the S8 now and trade it in later
Same deal here. Sold my Note 9 and pre ordered the S10 plus 1TB in ceramic black.
Note 9 prices are in the toilet.
I ordered the S10 plus but am also keeping my copper Note 9...no way Im getting rid of this beauty!
Keeping my T-Mobile Note 9 but I'm gonna be using my S10E until I buy an Exynos Note 10 sometimes around February next year when prices will be right. I can't do this unlockable Samsung phone anymore since Google killed call recording. I can still do it on my Oreo Note 9 (not updating it anymore) and I still have my rooted One Plus 6T so call recording is still in my hands when I need it.
Reason I ordered the 10E is because of how great it felt in the hand when I was testing out the display unit at Best Buy last week. Just going to be nice to use a smaller phone like that for a while and get used to the new UI stuff, that great new camera stuff and the awesome new display tech.
The S-Pen is the main reason why I've been a Note user literally since the AT&T Note 1, so that's why I'm keeping the Note 9 around in case I get the itch to use it again. Plus, I have my Tab S4 which also has its own S-Pen.
I traded my Note 9 for the S10+. I'll probably still buy the Galaxy Note 10 too! :laugh:
I am trading in my note 8 for the plus, but I will always love the note series. I suspect I will be just as anxious to get the note 10 when it's announced and will probably give the wife the 10+ at that point and go back to the note series. You all know the note 10 is gonna be amazeballs
