Do you buy Samsung Galaxy phones in Albany?

Yes. We buy Galaxy S, Z Fold, Z Flip, A series and Note phones for cash, by appointment in the Albany area or at your door across the Capital Region.

Do you buy a Galaxy Z Fold or Z Flip with a cracked inner screen?

Yes, tell us about it. Describe what is wrong with the screen or hinge and whether the phone still turns on, and we will tell you whether it is something we can use.

How do I remove my Google account before selling a Samsung?

Go to Settings > Accounts and backup > Manage accounts, select your Google account, tap Remove account and confirm. Do the same for your Samsung account, then run Factory data reset. Removing the Google account first keeps Factory Reset Protection from locking the phone.

Where is the Factory data reset on a Galaxy?

It is under Settings > General management > Reset > Factory data reset, and you tap Delete all at the end. Back up first, because the reset erases everything on the phone.

Do I need to take the SD card out?

Yes, if your Galaxy has one, take it out yourself. Samsung says a factory data reset does not erase an SD card, so your photos stay on it.

Can I sell a Galaxy that is still on a payment plan?

It is worth asking. Tell us the carrier and that a balance remains, and we will say whether we can still set up a meetup.

Samsung Galaxy

Sell your Samsung Galaxy phone in Albany for cash

We buy Samsung Galaxy phones for cash in the Albany area: S series, Z Fold and Z Flip, A series and older Notes. Tell us the model, we meet you by appointment or come to you, and you are paid in cash on the spot for any Galaxy we can use.

Galaxy models we buy

Samsung names its phones by series, so find yours by the letter after "Galaxy". If your exact model is missing, ask anyway: the groups below are what people bring us most.

Galaxy S series

Galaxy S26 Ultra, S26+ and S26, S26 FE, S25 Edge, S25 Ultra, S25+, S25 and S25 FE, the S24 family (Ultra, S24+, S24, S24 FE), the S23 family, S22, S21 and S20 phones. Ultra models are the large ones with the built-in S Pen slot; tell us which one you have because the names are close.

Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip

Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Fold8, Z Flip8 and Z TriFold, along with Z Fold7, Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 FE, Z Fold6, Z Flip6, Z Fold5, Z Flip5, Z Fold4, Z Flip4, Z Fold3 and Z Flip3. Foldables are the phones most often left in a drawer after an upgrade. Mention a crease, a cracked inner screen or a loose hinge when you write, so the conversation starts honest.

Galaxy A series

Galaxy A57 5G, A37 5G, A27 5G and A17 5G, plus the A56, A55, A54, A36, A35, A26, A16, A15 and A14. These everyday models are easy to dismiss and are worth a message.

Galaxy Note and rugged XCover

Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and Note 20, the Note 10 family and Note 9, and the XCover Pro rugged phones. Note owners often keep the S Pen; bring it along with the phone.

Before you sell this Galaxy

Remove your accounts first, then reset. Samsung’s support steps: go to Settings > Accounts and backup > Manage accounts, select your Google account and tap Remove account, then do the same for your Samsung account, signing out with your password. Removing the Google account matters because Factory Reset Protection can otherwise ask the next person for your Google login after a reset. If Google device protection is on you may be asked to verify your identity, so have your password and a second device handy. Then go to Settings > General management > Reset > Factory data reset and tap Delete all. A reset does not touch an SD card, so take it out yourself if the phone has one. Back up first with Samsung Smart Switch, Samsung Cloud or Google; the reset erases everything on the phone. Menu names vary a little by carrier and software version, so follow what your screen shows if it differs.

What to bring

The phone and your Google and Samsung passwords. A Galaxy that came with the charger, a case, an S Pen (on the models that use one) or a pair of Galaxy Buds can bring those along, though none of it is required. For a foldable, bring the case if it came with one. Tell us if the phone is on a carrier plan that is not paid off.

How the meetup works

Tell us the model and what is in the bag through the form on this page, or text us a photo. We set a time in the Albany area or drive out to you anywhere in the Capital Region, and you are paid in cash on the spot for anything we can use. Meetups are by appointment only, one seller at a time, so please wait for a confirmed time before heading over. Nothing is shipped and nothing waits on a mailed label.
