Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra review (2025) | Back Market

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra remains a compelling high-end smartphone in 2025, offering a superb camera, powerful performance and the unique S Pen. The slightly older status often means more affordable prices, especially on platforms like Back Market.

I had been having trouble with my phone A3 2016 as the battery was barely lasting a day. The idea was to get one of similar size but they all seem too large and cost too much. I came across back market which gave plenty of choice of refurbished phones and also differing conditions. I was able to buy a slightly better model (A3 2017) as a replacement in excellent condition for a very fair price. It came fairly swiftly in a plain package with wire and charger. There is a 12 month warranty and a 30 day return policy which gives me confidence in this company. I have been very happy with my purchase and know that there are experts on hand should I need help. A cover for the back and front of the phone is worth getting asap which I have done.

Bought the phone for my 10 year old, and she's very happy with it. Arrived quickly and looked brand new. Will definitely use Back Market again.

Received someone else's order. Returned for a refund. Only offered a 5% discount off another order, which I obviously turned down - no other compensation offered. Would have put 0 stars if it let me! Will NEVER use this company again - AVOID!!!!!!!!

I bought this to replace one which had developed a faulty charging socket, so I knew what to expect. It's difficult to tell if this is refurbished. The phone itself is A1 condition and it works exactly as expected. The service is superb. It's a bit of a worry wondering what you're going to see on a refurb phone but this came in mint condition, securely and discreetly packaged in super fast time. Well pleased!

Ordered a refurbished Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 as I really like this phone. The Samsung operating system is great and the phone fits in my pocket. (Everything newer is the size of a TV - annoying). The whole process was excellent. Easy to use website and the phone turned up in just a couple of days, well packaged and exactly as described - practically 'factory fresh'. Couldn't be more pleased. To be fair I can't comment on functionality as so far I've just checked the camera works properly (which is why I needed it) but the phone started up as if it were brand new out-of-the-box with all the inherent 'new user' set-up things to do so I really don't have any doubts about it. I'd not heard of BackMarket before but totally impressed with the whole buying process and product quality. Would definitely use again.

A refurbished Samsung A3: a high-quality smartphone for less

This Samsung A3 is one of the technology giant’s best loved designs, with its compact 7.9mm shell. You can save hundreds on this high-performance model by buying a certified refurbished Samsung A3 from Back Market. The main difference between the three models available from Back Market is the screen: choose the 2015 model for a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels (qHD) for 245 dpi; go for the 2016 and 2017 models if you prefer a 4.7-inch 720 x 1280-pixel (312dpi) resolution screen, a screen with HD image quality. Whichever refurbished Samsung A3 device you select you’ll get at least 16GB of internal memory and a range of colours to choose from.

Why buy a refurbished Samsung A3 smartphone?

The 2015 and 2016 models are both fitted with a 5-megapixel front camera, whereas the 2017 model has a revamped 8-megapixel camera. The back cameras are even more impressive - the 2015 and 2016 models getting an 8-megapixel camera and the 2017 model once again getting a souped-up 13-megapixel camera – definitely the phone of choice for those who enjoy taking snaps. All of these models operate at a superb speed, dependent on the model, a refurbished Samsung A3 is equipped with either a Snapdragon 410, Exynos 7578 or Exynos 7 Octa 7870 processor.
