Google is making your next phone trade-in experience faster by changing And
 

• Google is working on a new trade-in mode for Android.
• This feature will make it easier for the people inspecting your phone to run automated diagnostics.
• Trade-in mode will hopefully speed up phone inspections so you can get your refund faster.

The best Android phones can easily run you a thousand dollars or more, but you can save a lot of money with a trade-in. Trading in your old phone can be a bit nerve-wracking, though, especially since you might have to wait weeks to find out if it qualified for the full trade-in value. Google is thankfully working on a new trade-in mode for Android that will hopefully speed up phone inspections so you can get your refund faster.

One of the reasons that a trade-in can take a lot of time is that there are a lot of devices that need to be inspected. Some of the inspections will be quick, especially when the devices are clearly cracked or don’t turn on at all. Other inspections, however, might take a bit of time as devices need to be booted up and run through a series of diagnostic tests to confirm they’re functioning properly.
