Second-hand mobile phone recycling prices are soaring? Journalist investigates firsthand: "Recycling prices have gone up, but not that exaggerated."

Sina Finance News, March 31st, recently, the topic of rising mobile phone prices has become a hot topic in the market. Not only new phones, but also related topics such as "the price of second-hand phones has skyrocketed" and "three old phones can be exchanged for an iPhone" have become hot spots, prompting many consumers to dig out old phones from the bottom of their drawers. So, what is the real market situation for the second-hand phone recycling market? With doubts, Securities Times reporters visited the Huaqiangbei market in Shenzhen and found that the prices of some second-hand phones have indeed risen compared to before, but not as exaggerated as rumored online. The sharp rise in the value of second-hand phones is due to the increase in the price of storage chips and the "siphon effect" of investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
