Research: smartphones Apple and Samsung depreciate less than others, and Huawei Mate 30 Pro in a year loses 87% of its value

British online refurbished electronics store musicMagpie has published an interesting report on how

How quickly smartphones from different manufacturers depreciate in value. The point is how much value the gadget will lose in a year or two after purchase.

How much are we losing?

As expected, Apple and Samsung became companieswhose devices depreciate less than others in the first 12 months. On average, Apple devices lose 41% of their value in a year and 60% in 24 months. For Samsung, these figures are slightly higher - 64% and 77%.

And this is not surprising, since their phones are more expensive. iPhones from the last two years are projected to retain more than half their price in the first 12 months.

They are followed by OnePlus, smartphoneswhich lose 69% and 78% of value after one and two years, respectively. But things are much worse for Huawei. For example, Huawei Mate 30 Pro depreciates by as much as 87% over the year, and Huawei P20 by 84%. Apparently, US sanctions and the lack of Google services in the international market had an impact.
