Sell Your Galaxy A16
2024 · SM-A165F, SM-A165M, SM-A165N
We pay up to £19, paid the same day.
Your Galaxy A16's value rests on its condition, so be honest about any damage when you get the quote. Cracked screens and battery wear are condition options, not faults that end the sale. Once we inspect the phone and confirm the offer, it is held for 14 days, and payment goes out the same day after your ID and proof of address are verified.

Price held 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 A16 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 A16 works
No haggling, no waiting on a callback, and no offer that quietly drops when you arrive.
Get your price
Pick your Galaxy A16 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 A16 is worth depends on
Storage
Bigger storage means a better price. Tell the finder above which Galaxy A16 you have and it prices that exact variant.
We buy the 128GB and 256GB versions of the Galaxy A16, so choose whichever capacity you actually own when you request the quote. It helps us check the right device.
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.
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.
You can book a free collection, hand the Galaxy A16 to us at our Haverhill counter or post it in. The route you pick makes no difference to the confirmed offer, so it is purely a matter of convenience.
Once we have inspected your Galaxy A16 and confirmed the offer, that figure is kept for 14 days. There is no pressure to rush: you can choose collection, the counter or the post within that window.
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 A16 in front of us.
The offer on your Galaxy A16 is tied to the condition you describe when you request a quote. Cracked screens, battery wear and other faults belong in the condition choices, so declaring them does not end the sale.
The Galaxy A16 carries a 5000 mAh battery, and how well it still holds charge is part of the condition assessment. Select the battery option that reflects its state so the offer is accurate.
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 A16 once it is signed out of your Google account, which is what clears Factory Reset Protection.
Take a moment to sign out of the Google account on the Galaxy A16 and remove any screen lock before it leaves you. Doing this clears factory reset protection, and without it the phone can't be checked and paid as quickly.
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 A16, 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 A16. 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 A16, 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.

Selling your Galaxy A16
I have a Google account signed into the Galaxy A16 I want to sell. What should I do before sending it?
Remove the Google account and any screen lock before sending. That clears factory reset protection and stops the Galaxy A16 from being blocked in our checks.
I'm not near Haverhill, so can I post my Galaxy A16 in rather than use the free collection?
Yes, posting it in works just as well as the free collection or a counter drop-off. Whichever route you choose, the offer on the Galaxy A16 is the same.
What do you need from me before paying for my Galaxy A16 and how quickly is that payment made?
Photo ID and proof of address are required for every purchase, and once those are confirmed, payment goes out the same day. The route the Galaxy A16 arrived by makes no difference to the timing.
Should I get my Galaxy A16 repaired before selling it, or is it acceptable to sell it as it is?
You can do either, because mendmyi repairs devices alongside buying them. Selling it as it is works as long as the condition you select reflects any damage, and repairing it first is also a genuine option.
After you've checked my Galaxy A16, how long do I have to accept the offer?
The confirmed offer on your Galaxy A16 is held for 14 days from the inspection, so you can decide at your own pace.
Is the offer shown for my Galaxy A16 the amount I'll actually get, or could it be reduced on arrival?
No, it will not be reduced on arrival as long as the phone matches the condition you chose. The figure shown is what is paid, not an opening position for negotiation.
