Samsung Galaxy S26 prices by carrier lock
Our source prices this model the same at every storage size, so the split here is by carrier lock. Unlocked means it works on any carrier; carrier locked means it only works on the carrier it was bought through, which is why it's worth less.

What moves the price
- Activation lock. An iCloud- or Google-locked phone can only be sold for parts, whatever its cosmetic condition.
- Powers on or not. A phone that boots can be tested; one that doesn't is priced as a gamble on the board.
- Screen. To a repair buyer, an original screen, even a cracked one, is often worth more than an aftermarket replacement.
- Storage and carrier lock. These move a phone within its grade's range rather than out of it.
- Water damage. A triggered indicator grades a phone damaged at best, even if it works today.
Common questions
- How much is a cracked Samsung Galaxy S26 worth?
- A cracked or otherwise damaged Samsung Galaxy S26 that can still be repaired is worth about $150–$210. Where it lands in that range depends mostly on whether it powers on, whether Face ID and the cameras still work, its storage size and whether it is carrier unlocked.
- How much is an activation locked Samsung Galaxy S26 worth?
- An activation-locked Samsung Galaxy S26 can only be sold for parts, so it is worth about $65–$75, the same as one that won't power on. Buyers are paying for the screen, housing, cameras and other parts.
- How much is a used Samsung Galaxy S26 worth?
- A fully working Samsung Galaxy S26 in good condition is worth about $235–$245. Storage size, battery health and carrier lock move it within that range: a high-storage unlocked phone sits at the top.
- Where can I sell a Samsung Galaxy S26?
- You can list a Samsung Galaxy S26 on Honest Phones in any condition, including cracked, locked or parts only. The seller fee is 3%, the IMEI is checked before it goes live, and the buyer's payment is held in escrow until they accept the phone.
