If you bought the S25 when it came out in early 2025, the drop probably stings. It's still a fast, compact phone with years of updates left. But the S26 is in stores now, new S25 stock is being cleared at big discounts, and that pulls every used S25 price down with it. Here's what that means for you in Dubai.

Key Takeaways

• The S25 launched at AED 3,199 (128GB) in the UAE. New ones now sell from about AED 1,999.
• It lost about 63% of its value in its first year, more than the S24, according to Compare and Recycle.
• The new price sets the ceiling. No buyer pays close to a sealed phone's price for a used one.
• Screen burn-in and a locked Samsung account are the two things that hurt your offer most.
• Prices move every week, so use the live calculator instead of a number from an article.

How Much Is a Used Galaxy S25 Worth in Dubai?

Here's how the S25 has moved since launch:

A used S25 sells below the new price. How far below depends on the condition, which is why we don't put one fixed number in this article. See your live offer to know where your phone really stands.

Why Has the Galaxy S25 Lost So Much Value?

1. New S25 stock is being cleared

When a sealed S25 costs about AED 1,999 on Noon, nobody pays close to that for a used one. Retailers are clearing stock now the S26 is out, and every discount pulls used prices down too.

2. The Galaxy S26 is here

The S26 went on pre-order in the UAE on 25 February 2026 and reached stores on 11 March, starting at AED 3,599. Once the new model lands, the old one moves into last year's price band.

3. Samsung phones drop faster in year one

Compare and Recycle found the S25 lost 63% of its value in its first year, more than the S24 (58%) and S23 (59%) did. After that first big drop, the fall slows down. So the S25 is now past the worst of it.

What Lowers Your Galaxy S25 Offer?

On the other side, a clean S25 with no marks, a healthy battery and its box gets a better offer.

Galaxy S25 vs S25 Ultra vs S25 FE: Which Holds Value Better?

The Ultra loses the most money in AED terms, but it still sells for the most. The standard S25 is popular with buyers who want a small phone, which helps it sell quickly. Selling an Ultra instead? See our guide to selling the Galaxy S25 Ultra in Dubai.

Should You Sell Your S25 Now or Keep It?

Samsung promises seven years of updates for the S25, so keeping it is a real option. But if you know you'll sell, waiting usually costs you. The S27 will push prices down again, and Samsung normally launches early in the year. Our guide on selling before the next Galaxy Unpacked explains the timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I sell my Galaxy S25 for in Dubai?

It depends on storage, condition and whether you have the box. A brand-new 128GB Galaxy S25 now sells from about AED 1,999 in Dubai, so a used one sells for less than that. For an offer on your exact phone, use our live Samsung price calculator. It takes about a minute.

Why has the Galaxy S25 lost so much value?

Three reasons. New S25 units are now sold far below the AED 3,199 launch price, the Galaxy S26 arrived in March 2026, and Samsung phones lose value faster than iPhones in their first year. Compare and Recycle found the S25 lost 63% of its value in its first year.

Does a missing box lower the price of my S25?

A little. The box and original cable help show the phone is genuine and was bought in the UAE, so they make it easier to sell. Condition, screen and battery matter much more than the box.

Can I sell my S25 if it's still linked to my Samsung or Google account?

Not until you remove the accounts. If you reset the phone first, it locks itself with FRP and nobody else can use it. Remove your Samsung and Google accounts, then reset.

Is Samsung Trade-In better than selling for cash?

Trade-in gives you credit towards a new Samsung, not cash, and the value changes with the promotion running that week. If you're buying from Samsung anyway, compare the trade-in figure with our cash offer and take the higher one.

Should I sell my S25 before the Galaxy S27 launches?

If you plan to sell in the next few months, yes. Samsung usually launches its new Galaxy S phones early in the year, and each launch pushes the older models down again. If you're keeping it for years, there's no rush, because the S25 gets seven years of updates.

Do you buy a Galaxy S25 with screen burn-in?

Yes. We buy S25 phones with burn-in, cracks and other wear. The offer is lower, but we tell you the price before we collect, and the price stays the same if the phone matches what you told us.
