Sell your Xperia 10 Plus for cash

One storage size, one carrier setting, so wear is the whole answer. Light wear you cannot feel with a fingernail is Average, which pays $7. Wear invisible at arm's length is Good at $8. Heavy wear you can feel, with the glass still intact, is Fair at $5. A phone carried since 2019 without a case usually sits at the lower end of those three.

Open a notes app or any drawing app and pick a thick brush. Start at the top left corner, press down, and drag one slow continuous snake left to right and back down, all the way to the bottom right. Do not lift your finger. Take about 20 seconds over it and go right out to the edges.

Then look at what you drew. One unbroken line means the touch layer is fine. A gap, a jump, or a section where the line goes thin means part of the screen is not reading your finger, and that is the phone failing to do its job, which grades Faulty. It is worth running because the top third of a 167 mm phone is territory your thumb almost never visits.

Count the camera lenses on the back. Two means Plus, one means the standard Xperia 10. If you would rather measure, the Plus is 167 mm tall against 156 mm, and its screen is 6.5 inches against 6.0. The Plus is also noticeably heavier in the hand at 180 g. Holding the smaller one, our sell your Xperia 10 page prices it separately.

Yes, and you do not need to fix it first. Any crack or chip, on the front glass, the plastic back or the camera window, puts the phone in Faulty. On this model that is $2. Choose Faulty at the quote step and the figure will not change when we open the box. Repairing it costs more than the difference, every time, so do not.

No. Burn-in is an OLED problem, where individual dots wear at different rates and a shape you left on screen stays visible. The Xperia 10 Plus uses an LCD with one backlight behind the whole panel, and there is nothing in that design to burn. Sony moved this line to OLED with the Xperia 10 II, so a 2020 or later model does need checking. Yours does not.

Average is light wear you can see but cannot feel. Run a fingernail across the screen and around the plastic edges, slowly. If nothing catches anywhere, but you can spot fine marks when you tilt it under a light, that is Average. If the nail catches on something, you are in Fair. If a stranger handed it back to you and you noticed nothing at arm's length, that is Good. Nobody is offended by an honest Fair, and it beats a surprise.

It does. Open the camera, point at something close, then something far, and watch it settle. If it hunts back and forth without locking, or if the 2x button gives you a soft crop instead of a real jump to the telephoto lens, one of the two rear cameras has stopped doing its job. Anything on the phone that does not work grades Faulty, whatever the screen looks like. Same answer for a speaker that buzzes or a power key that has gone mushy.

There is no battery percentage rule on any Android phone we buy, so nothing about a worn battery in itself moves your number, and there is no health screen worth hunting for. The line is whether the phone still works. Dead by lunchtime from a full charge, shutting off at 30 percent, or refusing to run without the cable plugged in are all the phone failing, and a phone that fails grades Faulty.

Not for money, and the reason is that we will not price something we could not switch on and test, and we cannot erase your data from a phone that will not start. What we can do is take it off your hands for nothing. Free label out, Department of Defense wipe, proper recycling. If you want it back instead, that return is free too.

Settings, then System, then About phone, and read the model line. I3223 is the North American Xperia 10 Plus. I3213, I4213 and I4293 are the same handset sold in other markets. Every one of them is quoted on this page at the same numbers, so you do not have to work out which region yours came from.

Very few carriers still take a 2019 Sony midrange phone at all, and the ones that do offer bill credit tied to a new line, released to you a slice at a time over two or three years. A Buyback is cash, in one payment, with no plan attached and no requirement to buy anything. On an amount this size the difference is not life changing. It is the difference between money and a coupon.

No on both, and they are separate problems. A Google account lock means the phone asks for the last owner's sign-in after a reset. Nobody can get past that, so the phone cannot be bought at any grade. Remove your Google account before you erase it and the lock goes with it.

Blacklisted, reported lost or stolen, or blocked by a carrier is the other one, and it is a hard no as well. A phone that is only carrier locked is fine, though. We buy those and the price on this page does not change.

Charger and case stay with you. Nothing is required in the box and accessories add nothing to the price. The memory card is different and it matters: take it out. Our wipe covers the storage built into the phone, so a microSD sitting in the SIM tray is a card full of your photos traveling to a stranger's building. Slide the tray out with a fingernail, no pin needed, and keep the card.

Two parts, in this order. First open Settings, Passwords and accounts, and remove the Google account. Then Settings, System, Reset options, Erase all data. Doing the account first is what stops the phone locking itself on arrival. Our erase your device page walks through it with screenshots. We also run our own Department of Defense wipe when it lands, so your photos, messages and saved passwords are erased and cannot be recovered.

Four options, chosen by you at checkout. Gift card, emailed, and it comes out roughly 3 percent ahead because the brands add a bonus. PayPal, instant, minus PayPal's 2.99 percent fee. Bank transfer in 2 to 4 days. A check in the mail in 3 to 5. Payment leaves the same day the phone clears inspection. The one rule that overrides your choice: a sealed, never activated phone is paid by PayPal only.
