Should You Sell Your OnePlus Phone Right Now?
OnePlus is no longer selling phones in the United States or other countries across North America and Europe. Customers with newer OnePlus devices have been promised a support until 2029, so there's little reason to abandon ship immediately. But for those of you looking to leap off anyway, you're likely considering resale value to recoup some costs. Is it really a good idea to sell, though?
If you're past your return window for a OnePlus 15, you might be able to get away with selling close to MSRP ($900 for 256GB, $1,000 for 512GB) if you get on eBay. On Swappa, mint condition listings for the 256GB version are already sliding below MSRP, going as low as $721 as of September 2026 while 512GB units are sitting above MSRP.
Other flagship models from 2023 and onward have settled either side of $500 while the company's mid-range Nord series devices have fallen well under $200. Poor OnePlus Open owners, though, may have to settle for as little as $600 back from someone buying a phone they initially paid $1,700 for. If you're hoping for a nostalgia bump, you better keep waiting: We found working OnePlus One listings in the $40 to $60 range — $30 or less if you're stripping for parts. Of course, your mileage may vary.
Should you trade in your OnePlus phone?
With other phone brands, the best alternate play you can make is when you can parlay a new line at a wireless carrier or switch with a trade-in. OnePlus, however, is a bit more tricky. We can't easily assess the likelihood that you'd be able to take full advantage of those so-called free phone promo for switching carriers, which give you account credits applied over the term of an installment plan to make sure you stick around. T-Mobile and Verizon often limit eligibility by make and model, so you'll need to put in your IMEI into one of the tools for trade-ins on their respective websites. As a fair warning, the price they offer may leave you wondering whether using an old phone for trade-in value is actually worth it.
While T-Mobile and Verizon ask you to enter information into an online tool, AT&T just publishes a full device eligibility outline for current trade-in promotions on its site. As of September 2026, that means you'll be getting anywhere from hundreds to over a thousand dollars for any good condition device from the OnePlus 8 series or later, depending on which phone you intend to buy. Fancy getting yourself $1,000 off a Motorola Razr Ultra (MSRP: $1,320)? Maybe giving up that OnePlus 11 is actually worth it... if you get one of the more expensive service plans. Otherwise, you'll see it cut down to $500. Mind you, that's still doing better than the $300 to $400 quotes on eBay.
