Whether you are using an Android or iOS device, you may someday decide
that you have had enough of the phone and want to sell it to purchase a
new one. There are actually quite a few steps you should take before you
simply hand over your old phone to its new owner.
Jumia Nigeria discusses some of the things.
Remove SIM/microSD cards
On some devices, contacts and call logs can be stored on your SIM or
microSD cards, so it’s really important that you remove these before
selling. Chances are, you won’t be willing to give up either of these
when selling the device, so keeping them to yourself is a great way to
ensure security.

Factory data reset
If you do not want anyone accessing some information or data on your
phone, you can completely erase your data by performing factory data
reset. The process only takes less than a minute.

Remove all accessories
When selling your device,
it’s always important to remove the accessories and extras that
originally came with it, unless you’ve clearly told the buyer you would
include them. You make use of them if they are compatible with the new
phone you are buying.

Backup your data
Since you are not handing over your phone with all your data, you have
to back them up so that you can recover and download on your new device.
You can backup your pictures, videos, and documents on Google drive or
iCloud.

Clean it
This is a small step, but it is still important. Cleaning your device is
a nice gesture; it makes the buyer feel like he’s getting his money’s
worth. Wiping of the screen, removing any dust or build-up, and cleaning
inside the ports is a great way to ensure your customer will be happy.
