If you're ready to upgrade your phone, don't let your current device sit unused in a drawer. Trading in your old smartphone is one of the easiest ways to reduce the cost of your next handset while helping to minimise electronic waste.
The quick verdict
If you are about to upgrade, sell your current phone first and put the money towards the new one. Trading in before a new model launches can often get you a higher valuation, as every smartphone depreciates.
