Sell your Galaxy Tab S7 for cash

Storage, connectivity and wear decide it. A 256GB WiFi Tab S7 in Good condition is $80 right now. The same tablet in Fair, meaning wear you can feel with a fingernail, is $48. A 128GB with a cracked screen still pays $13. Run your own combination through the quote tool at the top of the page for the exact figure.

Yes, and this is the single most expensive thing to get wrong on this model. The S Pen came in the box with the tablet, so we treat it as part of the tablet. A Tab S7 that turns up without one grades Faulty no matter how clean the glass is.

The pen clips magnetically to the flat strip on the back. That strip is also where it charges, so if yours has been living loose in a bag, check the tip is not chewed up and the side button still clicks. A pen you bought separately is fine as long as it is a Tab S7 pen and it works.

Measure the screen corner to corner. The Tab S7 is 11 inches and the Tab S7 Plus is 12.4 inches. The panels differ too: the S7 is an LCD and the S7 Plus is an AMOLED, so on the Plus a full black picture goes properly black in a dark room while the S7 glows a little. The model number settles it. SM-T870, T875 or T876B is a Tab S7. SM-T970, T975 or T976B is a Tab S7 Plus, and it pays more, so it is worth the ten seconds.

Take it out. A factory reset wipes the tablet, not the card, so anything you saved to the card is still on the card when it reaches us. Push a paperclip into the pinhole on the top edge, the tray slides out, lift the card off and put the empty tray back in. Keep the card. It adds nothing to the price and we would rather it stayed with you.

Yes. Any crack or chip anywhere on the glass or the aluminum puts the tablet in Faulty, even if it works perfectly. That is a price, not a refusal: $13 for a 128GB, $16 for a 256GB, $19 for a 512GB. Choose Faulty when you quote and nothing changes when it lands here.

Then it grades Faulty, whatever the something is. That is the whole rule on a Samsung tablet, and we write it as a principle rather than a list because a list always misses one. A speaker that buzzes, a charging port that only takes a cable at one angle, a fingerprint reader that will not register, a volume button that sticks, a camera that opens to black. Any one of those is Faulty. Test them in the five minutes before you quote and the grade you pick is the grade we pay.

No, and this is one of the few tablets where we can say that flatly. The Tab S7 uses an LCD panel, and burn-in is an AMOLED problem. There is nothing to check and nothing to worry about. What an LCD does show is a dead pixel or a hairline crack you missed, so put a plain white image on the screen at full brightness and look once. A permanent dark dot or a line means Faulty. Anything on the AMOLED models, including the Tab S7 Plus, is a different story.

No. There is no battery percentage rule on any Samsung we buy, and no battery health screen we want you to go find. That rule belongs to the iPhone and iPad pages and sellers keep carrying it over. A Tab S7 battery only affects your grade if it has actually failed, meaning the tablet will not hold a charge or shuts off with charge left, and at that point it is caught by the same functionality rule as everything else.

There is no carrier lock on a tablet, so there is nothing to unlock. What we do need is both accounts signed out: your Samsung account and your Google account. A tablet still signed in arrives locked to you, we cannot test it, and it goes back. On a WiFi + Cellular Tab S7 there is one extra check, the IMEI, which has to be clean. A WiFi Tab S7 has no IMEI at all, so that check does not apply to it.

No. A Google FRP lock, a Samsung account lock or a tripped Knox counter all mean we cannot buy the tablet at any grade, the same way an Apple Account lock stops an iPad. Blacklisted, reported lost or stolen, or blocked by a carrier are the same answer. Sign out properly before the reset and none of this applies to you.

Do it in this order, because the order matters. Open Settings, then Accounts and backup, then Manage accounts, and sign out of your Google account and your Samsung account. Then Settings, General management, Reset, Factory data reset. Take the microSD card out last. Signing out first is what stops the tablet arriving locked. There is a fuller walkthrough on our erase your device page. We run a Department of Defense grade wipe here as well, but yours has to come off first.

Keep all of it. Accessories are not priced into a Buyback, so a Book Cover Keyboard, a folio, a case or a charger adds nothing to what you are paid and only risks getting lost in the post. The S Pen is the one exception and it has to come. Everything else stays with you.

Not for cash, and the reason is practical rather than fussy. A tablet with no power cannot be tested and your data cannot be cleared off it, so we will not put a number on it. What we will do is recycle it for free. Send it on a free label, we wipe it to Department of Defense standards and dispose of it properly. Prefer it back? That is free too.

Usually not, and the difference is easy to see once you put the two side by side. The carrier pays you in monthly bill credits, tied to a new line or a new device, and the credits stop the moment you leave. A Buyback pays cash. A 512GB Tab S7 in Good condition is $94 here, and the money is yours the day after inspection with nothing attached to it. If your carrier beats that in real money, take theirs. We would rather you did the math than took our word.

It is a 2020 tablet, so we are talking tens of dollars rather than hundreds, and we are not going to dress that up. The honest version: the numbers on this page start at $13 and top out at $161. If the tablet is sitting in a drawer being worth less every month, that is money you do not have today, the label costs you nothing, and the whole thing takes about a week. If it is too far gone to price, recycling is still free.
