Sell Your Galaxy A05
2023 · SM-A055F, SM-A055M
We pay up to £28, paid the same day.
The offer for your Galaxy A05 is based on its condition and storage size, whether 64GB or 128GB. A cracked screen or worn battery does not rule it out: choose the correct condition when you request your quote. Once we have inspected the device, the offer we confirm is held for 14 days.

Once we send your offer it will not drop, so you have time to decide.
We repair, so faulty still pays
Cracked screen or worn battery is a job on our bench, not a write-off.
Not the Galaxy A05 storage or condition you were looking for?
We buy a lot more than we list here. Older iPhones, Samsung and Pixel handsets, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks and games consoles all get a real offer, and a cracked or faulty device is still worth something to us because we repair them in house. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a firm price.
No obligation, and nothing to pay. We will not give you a number we cannot honour, so if we need to see it first we will say so.
Three steps
How selling your Galaxy A05 works
No haggling, no waiting on a callback, and no offer that quietly drops when you arrive.
Get your price
Pick your Galaxy A05 storage and condition above and the price we pay appears straight away, no waiting for a callback.
Get it to us, three ways
Walk into the shop, book a free collection from your door within 5 miles, or post it free from anywhere in mainland UK.
Paid the same day
Accept the offer and you are paid there and then, by bank transfer, or store credit towards an upgrade or downgrade.
Your price
What your Galaxy A05 is worth depends on
Storage
Bigger storage means a better price. Tell the finder above which Galaxy A05 you have and it prices that exact variant.
mendmyi buys Galaxy A05 handsets in 64GB and 128GB versions, and the storage capacity in your handset affects the offer you receive. Check which version you have before requesting a quote so the offer reflects the device you are sending.
Screen condition
A cracked screen does not drop you to a faulty price. You keep the condition the phone is otherwise in and we simply take off what the glass costs us to replace, because we replace them ourselves.
A Galaxy A05 does not need to be perfect to be sold. Cracked screens and worn batteries count as conditions we buy, so choose the honest state of your phone when you ask for the quote and the offer is based on what you actually send.
Body and connector
Dents, scuffs and cracks to the casing are graded as part of the overall condition. A cracked back or a bent frame lowers the offer but rarely rules a device out.
Once your Galaxy A05 reaches us, we inspect it and confirm the offer for that device. The confirmed offer is then held for 14 days, so the sale can be completed at your own pace.
Battery health
We check battery condition ourselves on the bench rather than asking you to self-report a figure online, since there is no single on-device reading we can rely on for every brand. A genuinely worn cell comes off at what a real replacement costs us, worked out once we have the Galaxy A05 in front of us.
The Galaxy A05 spec lists a 5000 mAh battery, but the current state of the battery in your own phone is what matters when we assess it. If the handset will not power on or the battery is clearly worn, include that in the condition you select rather than sending it as fully working.
Whether it powers on
A device that boots and passes our checks is worth more than one that does not, but a dead handset is still worth telling us about rather than binning.
iCloud or Google account lock
We can only buy your Galaxy A05 once it is signed out of your Google account, which is what clears Factory Reset Protection.
Before the Galaxy A05 leaves you, sign out of your Google account and remove any screen lock, PIN, password or biometrics. A device that is still linked to an account cannot be passed to a new owner, so clearing this first keeps the sale straightforward.
Original parts matter to the price: an aftermarket screen, battery or camera fitted by someone else changes what we can pay. If you are not sure what is in your Galaxy A05, our guide on how to check a refurbished phone walks through what to look for.
Five minutes
Before you sell: five minutes that protect you
Do these before you hand the device over and the sale goes through without a hitch.
-
1.Back up what you want to keep
Photos, contacts and anything else you would not want to lose. If an upgrade is replacing it, here is our guide to moving everything to your new phone.
-
2.Sign out of iCloud or your Google account
Turn off Find My before you hand over the Galaxy A05. A device still signed in cannot be bought from you.
-
3.Take out the SIM and any memory card
These are yours to keep and are not part of the sale.
-
4.Note down the IMEI
Dial *#06# or check Settings to find it, in case you want a record for your own files.

No surprises
Ownership, ID and your data
Three things worth knowing before you sell anything to anyone, not just to us.
The device has to be yours to sell
We cannot buy a device that is still under contract or on finance, because until it is paid off you are not yet its legal owner. We also cannot buy a device that is part of an ongoing insurance claim, or that has been reported lost or stolen.
"This device is not under contract or finance, is not part of an insurance claim, and has not been reported lost or stolen - I own it outright."
We record name, address and ID on every purchase
We record the name and address of everyone we buy from, and check them against photo ID and proof of address. HMRC requires it: buying from a private seller, we have to raise the purchase invoice ourselves and it must carry your details. Bring the documents into the shop and show us, or send a photo if the device is reaching us another way.
It protects you as much as us: the purchase can always be traced back to a genuine sale rather than an anonymous one. A photocard driving licence showing your current address covers both documents on its own.
GOV.UK: VAT margin schemes, section 6.2Your data is wiped at our shop
Once your device is checked in, it is fully wiped and factory reset at our shop before it goes anywhere else. Nothing of yours is left behind on it.
Locked in
Your price is held for 14 days
Once we send you an offer for your Galaxy A05, it is held for 14 days. That gives you time to compare us against the online recyclers before deciding, without the price moving under you.
What Our Customers Say
Rated 5★ across multiple platforms
“Highly recommended. Great job. Fast and reliable service that’s reasonably priced.”
“Thank you for excellent professional advice. Same day service. Great price. Will use again and recommend.”
“Samsung flip phone did the inevitable and screen cracked on the bend. Looked at taking it to a large store and although cheaper, it was along way to travel and due to time constraints booked into Mendmyi. Although slightly more expensive they got the job done quickly using Samsung parts and it was a quick turnaround and it's all like new again.”
“Great service at good price by trustworthy staff - highly recommended”
“A friendly, proficient and speedy service. Well done. It is good to have you around.”

“Simple to book, exceptional service and kept informed throughout. ”
“Such an easy and convenient purchase. Helpful and informative staff. Kept me informed and flexible with collection. Really pleased with my purchase and so glad not to have to traipse into a city!”
Selling your Galaxy A05
When do you pay me for my Galaxy A05, and what do I need to show you first?
Payment for your Galaxy A05 is released the same day we confirm your photo ID and proof of address, and both are required on every purchase with no exceptions, whichever route the device took to reach us. Have those documents to hand and the payment can follow without delay.
Is repairing my Galaxy A05 a real alternative to selling it to mendmyi?
Yes, repair is a real alternative because mendmyi repairs Galaxy A05 handsets as well as buying them, so the two services exist side by side. You can ask about getting it fixed or ask for a sale quote, and neither option is presented as the only one.
How long is the Galaxy A05 quote valid after you have seen the phone?
The offer confirmed after we inspect your Galaxy A05 is held for 14 days, giving you two weeks to decide whether to accept it.
Is the figure quoted for my Galaxy A05 a starting point that could change on arrival?
No, the figure quoted for your Galaxy A05 is what is paid once the device matches the condition and storage size you selected, and it is not reduced after we inspect it.
Can I sell a Galaxy A05 that has both a cracked screen and a battery that is worn out?
Yes, a Galaxy A05 with a cracked screen and a worn battery can still be sold to mendmyi. Select that combined condition when you request your quote so the offer is based on the device exactly as it is, and we will assess it on that basis.
Will a Galaxy A05 still be accepted if my Google account and screen lock are still on it?
No, the Google account and any screen lock, PIN, password or biometrics must be removed before we can take the Galaxy A05. A device that is still signed in to an account cannot pass to a new owner until it is cleared.
