The Google Pixel 8 smartphone has proven to be a challenging model to sell as a second-hand device, according to recent statistics published by American service SellCell. In just 10 days, the value of the Google Pixel 8 dropped by more than 60%, making it a less profitable option for resale.
When compared to the Google Pixel 8, the iPhone 15 retains its value significantly better. In the same 10-day period, the Apple flagship only experienced a price depreciation of 28.8%, while the Google gadget dropped by 63.7%. However, even the iPhone 15 pales in comparison to the iPhone 13, which lost 18.7% of its price just a month after release.
Industry analysts emphasize that both the Pixel 8 and iPhone 15 offer advanced features and will receive long-term support from their respective companies. This reassures buyers who prioritize using their smartphones for a extended period. However, those who prefer to upgrade annually should consider potential losses during resale.
