The exact amount depends on your Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus's condition, storage size, carrier lock status, and any security settings (for example, Find My / Factory Reset Protection). ecoATM pays instant cash at the kiosk and its pricing is backed by real-time market data — it often beats carrier trade-in values, though final offers vary by device condition. Use ecoATM's online estimator or the app to lock in a price before you go to a kiosk.

First get an online quote or lock in a price in the ecoATM app, then prepare your Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus by removing accounts and backing up data. Next find a nearby ecoATM kiosk, connect your device for the diagnostic inspection, and accept or decline the cash offer after the kiosk assesses the phone. If you accept, ecoATM pays you instantly at the kiosk or via PayPal or Venmo if you prefer.

Yes — ecoATM accepts Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus phones with cracked screens, dents, faulty batteries, water damage, or that won't power on, though the condition will affect the price you receive. If the kiosk cannot make a cash offer, ecoATM will still take devices and ensure they are responsibly recycled rather than sent to landfill. Selling a damaged phone at an ecoATM is a quick way to get value from a device you weren't going to keep.

You can sell a carrier-locked Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus to ecoATM, but carrier-locked phones typically receive a lower offer than unlocked ones because lock status affects resale. Carrier-locked means the device is tied to a specific wireless account or carrier, which can limit resale options, but ecoATM will still evaluate and make a competitive offer. ecoATM buys both locked and unlocked devices and pays instantly if you accept the offer.

Back up any data you want to keep, sign out of your Google account, and deactivate any Factory Reset Protection or Find My settings before you sell. Remove your SIM card, charge the device, and perform a factory reset if possible so your personal information is removed prior to the kiosk inspection. ecoATM also recommends bringing a valid ID when you visit a kiosk.

You should factory reset your Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and remove accounts before selling so you know your data is gone, and ecoATM recommends doing this as the first step. ecoATM also uses specialized data-wiping tools at its processing facility and wipes devices that power on before resale or recycling, but they still advise customers to erase their data beforehand to be safe. This two-step approach — your reset plus ecoATM's wiping — helps protect your personal information.

Devices that are in good enough condition are refurbished and resold, extending the life of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and keeping usable devices in circulation. Devices that can't be resold are sent to certified e-waste partners for responsible recycling, and ecoATM reports that a large share of collected electronics find a second life while the remainder are properly recycled. That process helps keep toxic materials out of landfills and supports reuse of parts and materials.

What your Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus is worth as a trade-in depends on the exact unit you bring in. ecoATM checks storage, carrier lock status, screen and battery condition, whether it powers on, and any Samsung or Google account locks and then shows the final cash offer after a short diagnostic. You are free to walk away if the offer is not what you had in mind, or accept it and get paid right there. If the phone is unlocked and ready to reset, the offer process is usually cleaner.
