Verified purchaseI bought a Google Pixel 6 from Back Market and overall, I’m very happy. The phone’s condition is very good and works smoothly. Battery performance is excellent—lasts all day without issues. The screen is clean and looks almost brand new. However, the sides of the phone have quite a few scratches. It’s not a big deal for me, considering the price I paid. Performance is fast and reliable for daily use. Delivery was quick and the packaging was secure. For a refurbished phone, this is a great deal. I’d definitely recommend Back Market to others.

Verified purchaseI recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra from Back Market and wanted to share my experience. As someone looking for a high-end smartphone without paying full retail price, Back Market offered exactly what I needed. The ordering process was straightforward and user-friendly. The product listings clearly showed the condition of the device, included accessories, and warranty information. I appreciated the detailed grading system that helped me understand exactly what to expect from my "refurbished" purchase. My Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra arrived well-packaged and in the condition described on the website. The phone functions perfectly - the powerful Snapdragon processor handles everything I throw at it, and the camera system (especially that 200MP main sensor) takes incredible photos. Battery life has been excellent, and the screen is flawless with no signs of previous use. What really stands out about Back Market is their commitment to sustainable tech. Knowing my purchase extended the life of a premium device while reducing electronic waste made me feel good about my decision. Their customer service was responsive when I had a question about delivery timing. The 12-month ...

Verified purchaseMy refurbished iPhone 13 mini is great. The only minor point to raise is that it clearly been refurbished with a non-Apple battery and I keep getting notifications telling me that the device can’t recognise the battery and that as a consequence the battery health reporting may be inaccurate. Not what I was expecting! Any hints on how to get the phone to verify the battery?

Verified purchaseI purchased a refurbished iPhone 13 in excellent condition, but I’m almost certain I received a brand new phone. Battery health is 100% and wasn’t as much as a smudge on the entire device. I’ve had the phone for about 2 weeks and it’s working perfectly so far.

Verified purchaseMy second phone from back market after trading my first one in. I had it for nearly 4 years and could not tell the difference from new with either phone! Great savings, satisfaction in supporting recycling and refurbishing old electronics and my new iPhone 15 Pro is great! Couldn’t be happier.
