– Samsung S22 range depreciates by over 47% vs Google Pixel  6 range at 42% and iPhone 13 at 16%<\/em>
– Galaxy S22+ 5G 128GB has lost almost 58% of its value in 2 months since launch<\/em>
– Even the Google Pixel 6 range outperforms the S22 range in holding value<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is no secret that the iPhone holds its value better than any other smartphone on the market; SellCell’s recent research into iPhone value retention<\/a> illustrated just that. However, what about other smartphones?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you buy a flagship from the likes of Samsung or Google, you’re looking at investing around the same amount of cash as you would an iPhone. With this in mind, if you buy a Samsung Galaxy<\/a> S22\u2014the brand’s latest model\u2014for example, then you’d expect it to still be worth a significant portion of what you paid, right? Wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike those who shrewdly buy an iPhone<\/a>\u2014with all the value retention that brings alongside a fantastic product\u2014those who invest in Android alternatives like a Samsung or Google handset can find themselves significantly short-changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using internal smartphone value data, SellCell has analysed depreciation values (since launch) of Apple, Samsung, and Google’s flagship handsets. It has considered the trade-in value of all lines in each range (iPhone 13, Samsung Galaxy S22, and Google Pixel 6) based on the resale value of phones in “like new” and “good” condition. SellCell collected the data across months one and two since launch, to compare depreciation, and to see which brands hold their value. SellCell is the US’ No.1 price comparison site for selling phones, so constantly monitors the value of these handsets across 40+ independent buyers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s see what the data has to say…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
