Sell your OnePlus 13R for cash

Heavy wear you can feel with a fingernail, with no cracks anywhere, pays $133. That is a real drop on a phone barely a year old and we are not going to dress it up. Tidier phones do much better: light wear you cannot feel is $199, light wear you cannot see at arm's length is $221, and no marks at all is $266. Run the quote at the top for yours.

It does not. There is no battery percentage rule on any Android phone we buy, so there is nothing to look up and nothing to report. This surprises 13R owners more than most, because the 6,000 mAh battery is the reason a lot of people chose the phone. A battery that has faded is still a phone we pay full price for at your grade. The only exception is a battery that has genuinely failed, and that falls under the rule covering anything that has stopped working.

Faulty. Try a different cable and a different plug first, because a frayed cable fails in exactly the same way and costs a lot less to fix. If a known good cable still only works at an angle, the port has worn or come loose, and a part that has stopped doing its job puts an Android phone into Faulty no matter how clean the rest of it is. Pick Faulty at the quote step and the number you are shown is the number you are paid.

Look at the camera ring. The OnePlus 13 carries Hasselblad branding and the 13R does not, because OnePlus keeps that partnership for the numbered flagships. The screens differ too: the 13 is a 6.82 inch QHD+ panel and the 13R is 6.78 inches at 2780 by 1264. The certain answer is in Settings, About device, where the North American 13R reads CPH2691. They are priced separately, so it is worth the ten seconds.

Yes. A crack or chip anywhere puts it in Faulty, and Faulty is a price rather than a refusal: $44 on this model. That covers the screen, the back glass, the frame and the lens covers over the three cameras. Drag a fingernail across each lens cover, since a chip catches the nail and a mark in the coating does not.

Yes. It is an AMOLED panel and burn-in forces Faulty. Check it properly rather than guessing: brightness all the way up, a dim room, a plain white image on the screen, and look across the surface at an angle for a faint clock, status icons or navigation bar. Those shapes sit in the same pixels every day, which is why they burn in first. A single stuck pixel is not burn-in. Neither is the slight color shift AMOLED shows when you tilt it.

Light wear you cannot pick out from arm's length. Flawless is no marks at all, Average is light wear you cannot feel with a fingernail, and Fair is heavier wear you can feel, still with nothing cracked or chipped. Brand New means sealed and never activated. Faulty covers cracks, chips and anything that has stopped working. Check it with the screen off in daylight, which is where fine scratches show.

Not for money. Without power there is no way to test it and no way to clear your data off it, and we will not skip either step. Free recycling is the alternative: send it on a free label and it gets the same Department of Defense wipe as every other phone here. If you would rather have it returned, that is free too.

Not until the balance is gone. A phone on an installment plan or a lease is still tied to that agreement, and we do not purchase devices under financial obligations. Settle it, then quote it normally. Nothing else about the process changes.

Then we cannot buy it, at any grade, until it is gone. A Google account lock or FRP lock stops the next owner setting the phone up, which makes it unsellable. Clearing it takes a minute and only you can do it: sign out of your Google account first, then erase the phone. Blacklisted phones and anything reported lost or stolen we have to decline outright, and that flag cannot be cleared.

No. Nothing is required in the box. The charger, the cable, the case and the retail packaging are not priced into your quote, so sending them adds nothing and gives them a chance to go missing in transit. Send the phone by itself.

Look at both numbers with the fine print open. Carrier deals are usually bill credit, spread over two or three years, tied to a new line and a new phone, which is not the same as cash. Our number is cash and it is available now: a 13R with light wear you cannot feel pays $199, held for 14 days while you decide. If the carrier genuinely wins, take it.

You choose at checkout from four methods. Gift cards are emailed and work out about 3 percent better, because the brands add a bonus on top. PayPal is instant with PayPal's 2.99 percent fee taken off. Bank transfer runs 2 to 4 days and a posted check 3 to 5. All of them leave the same day your phone clears inspection, which is within 48 hours of it arriving. Brand New sealed phones are the one exception and are paid through PayPal only.
