(PRWEB UK) 25 February 2014 -- • Valuations doubled on the site following the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S5
• ComparemyMobile releases the top 20 handsets consumers went to value following the event
• Samsung makes up 38.09 percent of all trade-ins, up from 18.5 percent in 2013

Leading phone recycling comparison website CompareMyMobile, has seen the number of valuations of phones spike by almost double between the hours of 18:00 and 21:00 GMT London time.

CompareMyMobile found it was not just Samsung owners that were excited about the new flagship device

Post this

Samsung makes up over 38.09 percent of all trade-ins going through the website; this is up hugely from the 18.5 percent trade-in share back in January 2013. This is down to the large volumes of shipments of Galaxy phones over the past few years.

As of February 2014, statistics from the website show that the four Samsung Galaxy S devices (S1,S2,S3,S4) take up over 23.51 percent of the devices people are trading in online. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is the largest traded-in device online right now with a share of 11.43 percent. The average price a consumer sees for trading in a Samsung android device is 95.57 GBP

Comparemymobile advises consumers to shop around; the prices offered by online recycling websites can vary vastly. When looking at Samsung Galaxy models, consumers can stand to lose up to 693 GBP on the top 10 devices without comparing prices. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a 109.09 GBP difference in the top and bottom quoted price from recyclers.

From analysing the stats, CompareMyMobile found it was not just Samsung owners that were excited about the new flagship device. Brands like Apple, Google Nexus and Blackberry were also included.

Figures illustrate the increase in online valuations between the day of the Samsung Galaxy S5 event and the week before.

Google Nexus 4 16GB - 1532 percent increase
Apple iPhone 5s 32GB - 425 percent increase
Apple iPhone 5 32GB - 373 percent increase
