Are you thinking about upgrading your phone? If you’re in Nairobi and you own a high-end phone like the Samsung Galaxy S-series (S23 to S25) or one of the latest iPhones (iPhone 13 onwards), you can trade it in for a brand-new device and save money in the process.

Slick Gadgets, the number one smartphone store in Nairobi, offers a seamless trade-in program for premium smartphones, making it easier than ever to swap your old device for the latest. But, how does the trade-in process work? And what should you know before trading in your phone?

Let’s dive in.

Why Trade in Your Phone?

You might be wondering, why should I trade-in my phone instead of selling it outright? Here’s why:

  • Cost Savings: Upgrading to a new phone can be expensive. A trade-in reduces the amount you need to pay out of pocket.
  • Convenience: Selling a phone through private buyers can be a hassle – negotiating prices, dealing with unserious buyers, and ensuring payment security.
  • Guaranteed Value: Trade-in programs, like the one at Slick Gadgets, offer competitive value based on your phone’s condition.
  • Eco-Friendly Choice: By trading in, you ensure your device is refurbished or recycled responsibly, reducing electronic waste.

If these reasons sound appealing, let’s break down how you can get started.

How the Phone Trade-in Process Works in Kenya

Trading in your phone with Slick Gadgets is a simple, step-by-step process. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Confirm Your Device’s Eligibility

Not all phones qualify for trade-in. At Slick Gadgets, we only accept high-end models, specifically:

✔ Samsung Galaxy S-series (S23, S24, and S25) ✔ iPhones (iPhone 13, 14, 15, and future models)

If you own one of these, you’re in luck! The next step is checking the phone’s condition.

Step 2: Assess Your Phone’s Condition

Your phone’s value depends on factors such as:

  • Physical Condition: Cracks, deep scratches, and dents may reduce the trade-in value.
  • Screen Functionality: A fully functional screen is essential. Phones with display issues will fetch a lower value.
  • Battery Health: Apple iPhones have a battery health percentage – ideally, it should be above 85% for a good trade-in value.
  • Performance: Slow performance, overheating, or camera malfunctions can impact the valuation.
  • Original Accessories: Having the original box, charger, or even a receipt can sometimes boost trade-in value.

You can get a preliminary valuation by visiting our store or sending details via WhatsApp on 0796309949

Step 3: Get a Trade-in Quote

Once we evaluate your phone, we provide a quote. This is a fair market price based on:

  • The model and storage capacity.
  • The overall condition of your phone.
  • Current demand and resale value.

If you agree with the quote, we move to the next step – choosing your new phone!

Step 4: Choose Your Upgrade

Here’s where things get exciting. You can use your trade-in value to offset the cost of your new phone. Whether you’re eyeing the latest Samsung Galaxy S-series or the newest iPhone, we have them in stock at unbeatable prices.

If your trade-in value doesn’t fully cover the new phone, don’t worry! You can pay the balance through our Lipa Pole Pole (installment plan) or make a one-time payment.

Step 5: Complete the Trade-in and Get Your New Phone

Once the deal is finalized, you hand in your old phone, pay any balance, and walk away with your brand-new device. It’s that simple!
