The exact value depends on the Samsung Galaxy A72's condition, storage capacity, carrier lock status, and any security settings (like Factory Reset Protection) that remain active on the device. ecoATM pays instant cash at the kiosk and supports PayPal and Venmo if you prefer a digital payout, and its pricing is backed by market data and often beats carrier trade-in values. Keep in mind that cosmetic damage, battery performance, and whether the phone powers on will all affect your offer, so check an online estimate before you go.

Start by getting an online quote or locking in a price in the ecoATM app, then prepare your Samsung Galaxy A72 by backing up and removing accounts. Next, find a nearby ecoATM kiosk, place the device in the machine so it can run its diagnostic inspection, and then accept or decline the on-screen offer—if you accept, ecoATM pays you instantly on the spot. The full process is designed to be quick and gives you the choice to keep the phone if you don't like the offer.

Yes — ecoATM accepts Samsung Galaxy A72 devices with cracked screens, dents, faulty batteries, water damage, or phones that won't power on, though condition will lower the payout. If a device can't be resold, ecoATM will still take it and recycle it responsibly through certified e-waste channels so it doesn't end up in a landfill. Bring any device to a kiosk to get a final on-site evaluation and cash offer.

Yes — ecoATM buys both locked and unlocked Samsung Galaxy A72 phones, but carrier-locked devices typically receive a lower offer than unlocked ones because lock status affects resale. ecoATM will still make a competitive cash offer based on the phone's overall resale value and condition, and you can decide to accept or decline at the kiosk. If possible, unlocking the phone before selling may increase what you receive.

Before you visit an ecoATM kiosk, back up any photos or data you want to keep, sign out of your Google account, and disable Factory Reset Protection so the phone won't be locked after a reset. Remove your SIM card, charge the device if it powers on, and perform a factory reset — ecoATM recommends erasing your data first even though they also perform data wiping. Bringing a charged device and a valid ID will help the process go faster.

You should factory reset your Samsung Galaxy A72 before selling to protect your personal information, since ecoATM always recommends users erase their data prior to sale. ecoATM also uses industry-standard data-wiping tools at its processing facility and attempts additional wiping where technologically possible before devices are resold. Because no method is absolutely foolproof, doing your own factory reset and removing accounts is the best first step.

ecoATM evaluates every Samsung Galaxy A72: units in good condition are refurbished and resold to extend their useful life, while devices that can't be resold are responsibly recycled through certified e-waste partners. ecoATM reports that a large share of collected electronics find a second life and the remainder are recycled to keep toxic materials out of landfills, so selling your phone helps reduce e-waste. Either way, the kiosk route ensures the device is handled according to recycling and resale standards.

The value of your Samsung Galaxy A72 depends on its real condition and setup at the time you trade it in. ecoATM reviews storage, carrier lock status, screen and battery condition, whether it powers on, and any Samsung or Google account locks, so a working, unlocked, cleanly reset device can price differently than one with damage or locks still active. You can use the online estimate as a guide, then finish at the kiosk to confirm the offer. Once you approve it, ecoATM pays right away in cash or by Venmo/PayPal where available.
