According to analysts, the fate of used Android devices is different. It turned out that the majority of Android smartphone users – 54 percent – keep the old gadget with them. 14 percent of device owners give them to trade-in, 11 percent give the device to their loved ones.
The CIRP specialist said that iPhone users are more likely to resell them, as Apple smartphones retain their value longer than Android devices.
