The exact amount you can get for a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime depends on the phone's condition, storage capacity, carrier lock status, and any security settings still enabled. ecoATM pays instant cash at the kiosk and its pricing is backed by market data, so it can often beat carrier trade-in values.

Start by getting an online quote or locking in a price in the ecoATM app, then prepare your device by removing accounts and personal data. Bring your charged phone and ID to one of ecoATM's 6,000+ automated kiosks inside Walmart and other major retailers, connect the device so the kiosk can run diagnostics, and then accept or decline the cash offer presented on the spot.

Yes — ecoATM accepts devices with cracked screens, dents, faulty batteries, water damage, and phones that won't power on, though condition will reduce the payout. If a device can't be resold, ecoATM will recycle it responsibly so it doesn't end up in a landfill.

Yes — ecoATM buys both carrier-locked and unlocked Samsung Galaxy Core Prime phones, but carrier-locked devices typically receive a lower offer because lock status affects resale. Even so, ecoATM will still make a competitive instant-cash offer based on market value and condition.

Back up your data, sign out of your Google account, and deactivate Factory Reset Protection before you come to a kiosk. Remove your SIM or microSD card and perform a factory reset (ecoATM also recommends these steps) so your personal information is removed before you sell.

You should factory reset your phone before selling to protect your information, and ecoATM also uses data-wiping tools at its processing facility on devices where wiping is technologically possible. ecoATM recommends you erase your data yourself because, while they attempt additional wiping, they cannot guarantee data removal in every case.

When you sell through ecoATM, devices in good condition are refurbished and resold, extending their useful life and keeping electronics in use. Devices that can't be resold are sent by ecoATM to certified e-waste partners for responsible recycling, which helps keep toxic materials out of landfills and recovers valuable components.

A fair trade-in value for your Samsung Galaxy Core Prime starts with the model, but it is shaped by the condition and settings ecoATM finds during evaluation. Storage, locks, power status, battery health, and screen damage can all matter for this Samsung phone. Use the online estimate to get a rough idea, then visit a kiosk for the diagnostic that confirms the final offer. If you accept, payment is handled immediately in cash or through Venmo/PayPal where available.
