Things To Do Before You Sell Your Smartphone

Backup your data: Keep your backup safe, so that you can use it on your new device.
Log out from all accounts from your device.
If you use Nexus and Pixel devices, unenroll from the Android Beta program if you have enrolled. As the new owner may not be interested in the program.
