Galaxy S23s have already lost half their value
Any item loses value once purchased, unpacked and used. Some products are an exception to this rule: they have a higher value second-hand than new. Smartphones are not. Their depreciation is not only very strong, but it is also rapid. A study shows that the value of a Galaxy S23 drops by 41.1% in one month and 43.3% in two months after purchase. This means thata phone bought for 959 euros is only worth 550 euros on resale. The Pixel 7 does even worse, while the iPhone 14 does better.
