In the mobile technology field everyone is looking for the next breakthrough product. This has been the case with smartphones such as the iPhone and, more recently the iPad.
However, the imminent launch of a new product is expected to get everyone selling and recycling their old mobiles. What’s the fuss? It’s the Samsung Galaxy Tab that is due to arrive in the UK in the next few weeks and it goes further than the iPad, by incorporating a mobile phone.
The excitement surrounding the Samsung Galaxy Tab is because it contains features that go beyond any previous smartphone or laptop. Its 7-inch LCD screen makes the Galaxy much smaller, lighter and more portable than the iPad yet it has more capability than the iPhone. The new Samsung will contain Google Maps navigation, Thinkfree Office, Swype, Hybrid Widgets and over 70,000 apps. It will also run on Android 2.2 and support Flash 10.1.
The UK price of £680 is causing a huge stir, particularly when the heavily subsidised US price is between $200 to $400. To make the new Samsung affordable, UK consumers may wish to seriously consider selling any unused or non-working mobiles that they may have sitting around. The easiest way to find the best price for old mobile phones is to go online and visit a mobile phone recycling price comparison website. Prices paid vary widely from just a few pounds for older models up to more than £200 for a recent smartphone, such as the iPhone.
Mobile phone recyclers usually make it easy to sell old mobiles by covering postage costs and offering quick payment. It is also reassuring to know that they will ensure old handsets are sold on for responsible reuse or recycling.
