African smartphone trade-in showdown \u2014 Cellucity vs Incredible Connection"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Incredible Connection generally gives customers more money for trading in their older smartphones than Cellucity, a MyBroadband comparison shows.<\/p>\n<p>We compared the online trade-in service from Cellucity and Incredible Connection across a range of Samsung, Apple, and Huawei smartphones.<\/p>\n<p>For this analysis, we compared the model variants with the lowest amount of storage for each smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>We selected yes to every device evaluation question, indicating that the device was still in good physical condition.<\/p>\n<p>Celllucity customers will either get the trade-in amount transferred to their bank account or as in-store credit.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers who trade in their devices via Incredible Connection will receive a trade-in voucher for their next purchase.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the price customers get quoted when completing an online trade-in device evaluation is subject to change pending a technical inspection.<\/p>\n<p>Incredible Connection gives consumers more money back for most of the devices we compared, except for Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S20 smartphone range.<\/p>\n<p>Cellucity pays customers R3,300 for a Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20+, whereas Incredible Connection gives R2,570 and R2,624 for the same devices.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Incredible Connection offers customers R3,284 for the Galaxy S20 Ultra, while Cellucity pays R3,500.<\/p>\n<p>When comparing Apple\u2019s smartphones, the iPhone 12 Pro Max had the biggest price difference, with Incredible Connection giving consumers R14,000 for a trade-in \u2014 R1,826 more than Cellucity\u2019s offering.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, both retailers offered the lowest trade-in amounts for Huawei smartphones.<\/p>\n<p>Huawei\u2019s popular P40 Lite will get you R785 if you trade it in using Incredible Connection, whereas Cellucity\u2019s offered R651.<\/p>\n<p>Customers trading in the P50 Pro, Huawei\u2019s current flagship smartphone, would get R3,356 from Incredible Connection and R2,780 from Cellucity.<\/p>\n<p>As both retailers are Samsung trade-in partners, customers can <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/smartphones\/439060-i-upgraded-to-the-galaxy-s22-for-r7000.html\">opt for the Galaxy S22 promotion<\/a><\/strong>, which offers R5,000 or R7,000 on trade-ins so long as the old device switches on.<\/p>\n<p>The table below summarises how much Cellucity and Incredible Connection offer customers who trade in devices to buy something other than a Samsung Galaxy S22.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mybb_table\">\n<div class=\"table-responsive\"><table class=\"table\" style=\"width: 100%;\"
