What it actually costs
New against used, and what the same shop pays for the phone in your pocket.
Prices move; these were read on 2026-10-05. Used and trade-in figures are CeX's own, for an unlocked handset at this device's base storage. CeX prices each colour separately, so a grade shows as the range across them. The eBay figure is the middle of the used listings on sale that day — what sellers are asking, not what anyone paid. We hold no stock and take no commission.
