Sell a broken Samsung phone for cash in Europe

Smashed your Galaxy? A broken Samsung phone still holds real value. Ace Buyback pays cash for broken and used Samsung screens across Europe — with a free prepaid label and fast payout.

What is a broken Samsung worth?

Often more than you'd expect. Galaxy phones use premium AMOLED panels, and a cracked or faulty display still has genuine value as a refurbishable repair part — typically well above a recycling bin or trade-in. The exact amount depends on the model and the damage; see the live pricing page for your device.

How to sell your broken Samsung (3 steps)

1. Get your price. Choose your Galaxy model and its condition for an instant quote.

2. Ship it free. We send a free, prepaid and insured label. Drop it off and it comes straight to our lab.

3. Get paid. We test and grade it (typically within 24-48 hours) and pay you by bank transfer, PayPal, crypto, or store credit.

Before you send it: reset your Samsung

Back up your data first. Then remove your Google account to clear the FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock, remove any Samsung account, and run a factory reset. Take out the SIM and any microSD card before you ship. Never send a phone that is still locked to your accounts.

Frequently asked questions

Is a broken Samsung Galaxy screen worth anything?

Yes. Galaxy phones use high-quality AMOLED displays, and even a cracked panel has real value as a refurbishable repair part. A screen buyback service like Ace Buyback typically pays far more than recycling or a trade-in.

Which Samsung phones does Ace Buyback buy?

We buy broken and used screens across Samsung Galaxy models, including the S and Note ranges. Choose your exact model on the pricing page for a live quote based on its condition.

How do I wipe a Samsung before selling it?

Back up your data, remove your Google account (Settings > Accounts) to clear the FRP / Factory Reset Protection lock, remove any Samsung account, then perform a factory reset. Take out the SIM and any microSD card before shipping.

How fast do I get paid?

After your screen arrives, our lab tests and grades it (usually within 24-48 hours) and confirms your offer. Accept it and we pay you by bank transfer, PayPal, crypto, or store credit.

Does it matter that the screen is cracked or won't turn on?

No. We specialise in broken and faulty screens — cracked glass, dead pixels, or a display that won't power on. You still get a fair, condition-based price.
