" Samsung has been named as the UK&amp;#039;s top trade-in brand, surpassing bitter rival Apple in the sector. New figures from Comparemymobile.com suggest that the firm&amp;#039;s Galaxy S3 has been traded in more times than any other phone in 2014 so far.  Three of the top five traded handsets were Apple devices, but Samsung also claimed fourth place with its Galaxy S2. Samsung&amp;#039;s share of the trade-in market has almost doubled since the beginning of last year, rising from 18.5% to 34.1%, while Apple&amp;#039;s has dipped from 50% to 31.6%. The South Korean tech giant is understood to have sold twice as many mobile phones as Apple in 2013, although it should be noted that it offers a much broader range of products. The average price of trade-in smartphones is believed to have doubled over the last year, up by 8.3% to \u00A3123.55. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
