Sumaho Com to open new smartphone buyback store in Akihabara

Sumaho Com, a smartphone buyback service operated by iput Inc., will open a new physical retail location, Sumaho Com Akihabara, on October 19, 2026. The store is located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, near JR Akihabara Station.

The service aims to address price discrepancies in the Android market. A March 2026 study by Sumaho Com revealed that assessment prices for recent Android models, such as Pixel and Galaxy, could vary by as much as 30,000 yen between different retailers in the Akihabara area.

The new branch will offer on-site assessments for various Android devices, including Pixel, Galaxy, Xperia, AQUOS, and OPPO, as well as iPhones and tablets. The store will accept devices with cracked screens or degraded batteries and allows for bulk sales of multiple devices. Customers can visit without a reservation or use LINE for assessments and bookings.
