Is Black Friday the best time to buy a refurbished Samsung phone?

Black Friday is a genuinely good time to buy, but it's not the only one. Refurbished Samsung phones on Back Market already cost a fraction of the new price year-round: the Galaxy S25 is £406 versus £810.68 new, and the Galaxy S25+ is £514 versus £974.61 new. Black Friday promotions go live 1 November and layer extra savings on top of that existing advantage. If you're browsing Black Friday Smartphone deals more broadly, the same logic applies across the range.

Are refurbished Samsung Galaxy phones worth buying?

Yes. Every device passes an up to 100-point professional quality inspection by vetted sellers, comes with a minimum 80% battery health guaranteed at 100% charge capacity, and is backed by a 12-month seller warranty as standard. The Galaxy S25 starts from £406 versus £810.68 new; the Galaxy A26 from £192 versus £299.99 new; the Galaxy S21 FE 5G from £215 versus £648 new. All devices are fully functional, regardless of cosmetic grade.

What do the condition grades mean for refurbished Samsung phones?

Back Market uses four cosmetic grades: Fair, Good, Excellent, and Premium. They describe appearance only, such as the level of scratches or screen marks, and have no bearing on how a phone performs. A Fair grade Galaxy S25 works identically to a Premium one. Choosing a lower grade simply means the same phone for a lower price. Grade What it looks like Best for Premium No visible scratches or dents; looks like new Buyers who want a like-new look Excellent Minimal wear, not visible from more than 8 inches away Near-new appearance at a lower price Good Light scratches or small dents, not visible from around 20 inches away Solid value with decent cosmetics Fair More noticeable cosmetic wear Budget-conscious buyers prioritising performance over looks

Is a refurbished Samsung Galaxy foldable phone worth buying?

Refurbished foldables make flagship technology genuinely affordable. The Galaxy Z Fold6 starts from £541 versus £1,685.86 new, the Galaxy Z Flip6 from £454 versus £1,149 new, and the Galaxy Z Fold4 from £312 versus £1,889 new. Every foldable goes through the same up to 100-point inspection by professional sellers and comes with a 12-month seller warranty, so there's no compromise on peace of mind either.

Where can I buy a refurbished Samsung Galaxy phone safely in the UK?

Back Market is a dedicated refurbished marketplace with a strict quality charter. Every purchase includes prices that are less expensive than buying new across the full Samsung range, a 12-month seller warranty on every device, 30 days to change your mind with free returns, a strict quality charter applied to every seller on the platform, and an up to 100-point professional inspection carried out by vetted sellers. If you're also considering other brands, check out Black Friday iPhone deals for a wider look at what's available this season.

Is buying a refurbished Samsung phone better for the environment?

Yes. Based on Back Market's calculation from the ADEME 2022 study, a refurbished smartphone avoids 92% of the greenhouse gas emissions of an equivalent new device on the manufacturing phase, or 77 kg of CO2e per device. That's because refurbished extends the life of an existing device instead of triggering a new manufacturing cycle. The benefit applies across the whole Samsung range, from the Galaxy A26 to the Galaxy Z Fold6. If sustainable shopping matters to you, it's worth exploring Black Friday Google Pixel deals as well.

How do I trade in my old Samsung phone during Black Friday?

You can trade in your old Samsung phone, iPhone, or other smartphone through Back Market's trade-in programme, separate from the refurbished Galaxy phones listed on this page. Get an instant quote based on the model, storage and condition of your current device, then send it in for free once your offer is confirmed. Trading in is a practical way to offset the cost of your next Galaxy S25, Z Fold7, Z Flip6 or any other Samsung model during the Black Friday period. The payout depends on your device's model and condition, not on a Black Friday promotion, so you can trade in at any time, not just during the sale window.

I've been really impressed with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The performance is excellent, the battery comfortably lasts all day, and the display is outstanding. The camera system is a significant step up from my previous phone, producing fantastic photos in a wide range of lighting conditions without needing to understand lots of camera settings. The S Pen is a useful addition, and the overall build quality feels premium. Despite having so many features, the phone is straightforward to use, which is something I particularly appreciate. Buying a refurbished device was also a great decision. The phone arrived in excellent condition, looked virtually brand new, and performed exactly as expected. It's reassuring to know I've saved money while also making a more environmentally friendly choice. Overall, I would highly recommend both the Galaxy S25 Ultra and purchasing a refurbished model. It's an excellent phone and represents fantastic value for money.

This is the second time I've purchased a refurbished phone from back market. My S20+ lasted years, but after I dropped it the usb and sim card slot stopped working, so I decided it was time for an upgrade. The S23 Ultra arrived in perfect condition, not a single mark on it. The battery life is great. It doesn't heat up during intensive use like my old S20 either. The optional insurance is brilliant too, it takes the worry away if anything happens to the phone. I would definitely purchase from Back Market again, and I recommend them to everyone I know looking for a new phone. I do have it in a robust case to protect it from any accidental drops. The second picture shows it next to my old S20+ for size comparison.

Absolutely brilliant. Looks like it is brand new, no scratches, marks or anything to suggest it was refurbished. Buttons, touchscreen, sensors and other features all work. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend if anyone is thinking of buying a watch but doesn't want the heavy price tag when bought new. As an ex Apple user, this watch is amazing. I wear it everyday and alike the samsung phones its very customisable. Thank you! Also, box was sealed like it would be when bought brand new!!!

Good price + arrived on time. It came sealed in a brand new box. Setting it up showed that it was originally aimed at a different global region ("the middle east") as there was no option to select the UK as a country. The only countries listed were middle eastern ones. After checking with google, I resolved this by doing a fully reboot. It looked like a brand new product. The new box + different global region, made me think this was new product rather than their claim to be selling "refurbished tech". Good choice of screen designs. Recharges quickly. Very happy

I had a really great experience purchasing my Samsung S6 Lite. I was a bit sceptical at first since it was my first time buying a device from Back Market, but the experience exceeded my expectations. The tablet arrived in very neat condition and looked almost like new. The battery life is strong and reliable, and I have been enjoying using it since it arrived. What impressed me the most was the customer service. I had an issue with the S Pen, and Back Market handled it professionally by providing £45 compensation to replace it. That level of support gave me a lot of confidence in the platform. Overall, a smooth and trustworthy experience. I would definitely recommend Back Market to anyone considering a refurbished device.
