Are refurbished Samsung phones any good?

Yes. Every refurbished Samsung phone on Back Market has been tested and graded by an independent professional. You'll know exactly what condition to expect before you buy. Grades run from Premium through to Good and Fair, each one clearly described.

What's the difference between refurbished and second hand?

Second hand usually means one person selling their old phone, with no checks or guarantees. Refurbished means the phone has been professionally tested, repaired where needed, and graded for condition. On Back Market, every Samsung phone goes through a thorough inspection before it's listed for sale.

Do refurbished Samsung phones come with a warranty?

Yes. Every refurbished Samsung on Back Market comes with a 12-month commercial warranty. If something goes wrong after you buy, you're covered. You also get a 30-day return window if the phone isn't right for you.

What's the best refurbished Samsung phone to buy?

It depends on your budget. For top-end performance, the Galaxy S24 Ultra (from £437) or Galaxy S23 Ultra (from £360) are solid picks. If you're spending less, the Galaxy A54 (from £154) or Galaxy A53 5G (from £102) handle everyday tasks well. Prices on Back Market start from £102.

Which Samsung series offers the best value?

The Galaxy A Series is worth considering if you don't need flagship specs. Models like the A54 (from £154) and A53 5G (from £102) cover everyday use well at a lower price. For more processing power, a refurbished S Series phone like the Galaxy S22 5G (from £160.62) or Galaxy S23 (from £213) brings stronger performance without paying full new-device prices.

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'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.

Good value. I ordered a good condition phone and very happy with the condition of the phone I received. Very fast shipping. I only purchase reconditioned phones and have done so for many years. Back Market are my go to supplier and have always been impressed with both the phones and purchasing experience. In my case I usually by Samsung S series Android phones and typically buy a model that is two models down from the latest model. So I purchased a month ago a Samsung S23+ 256GB good condition and the latest model on sale is the S25. The saving of buying an older model and one that is reconditioned is considerable and is something that I will continue to do in the future. I intend to keep my phone for a couple of years and then buy a reconditioned S25 equivalent when that model has been superseded by newer models and is therefore very good value buying a reconditioned one. If you trade in your old phone you can get an even better price as a result.

What's the benefit of buying a refurbished Samsung phone?

A refurbished Samsung phone from Back Market is a tested device, not a gamble. Every Galaxy on the platform has been inspected by a professional refurbisher and graded by condition: Excellent, Good, or Fair. You'll know exactly what you're getting before you buy.

Unlike buying second hand from an individual, every phone comes with a 12-month commercial warranty. If something goes wrong, you're covered for a repair, a replacement, or a full refund. You also get 30 days to return it if it's not what you expected.

The numbers are worth knowing too. Choosing a refurbished Samsung instead of a new one avoids 77 kg of CO2e and saves 77,000 litres of water per device, based on Back Market's calculations using ADEME 2022 data.

Best place to buy refurbished Samsung phones?

Back Market specialises in refurbished tech. Every seller on the platform has to meet a strict quality charter before they can list a device, so every Samsung Galaxy you see has been professionally tested, graded, and is ready to use.

You'll find 190+ Samsung models, from the latest S Series flagships to budget-friendly A Series handsets. Condition grades are displayed on every listing. Prices start from £99.

What's the best budget Samsung phone in the UK?

The Samsung Galaxy A Series is the place to start if you want a reliable phone without spending a lot. Models like the Galaxy A54 (from £121), Galaxy A53 5G (from £99), and Galaxy A34 (from £108) handle everyday tasks well: calls, messaging, social media, and streaming.

If your budget stretches further, a refurbished Galaxy S22 5G (from £149) or Galaxy S23 (from £190) brings flagship-level performance at a lower price than buying new.

Are there unlocked Samsung phones for sale at Back Market?

Yes. Refurbished Samsung phone on Back Market is unlocked and SIM-free. You can use it with any UK network, including pay-as-you-go options. There's no contract to sign and no need to unlock it yourself.

Every listing confirms network compatibility so you can check before you buy.

Samsung phone warranty and return policy

Every refurbished Samsung phone on Back Market comes with a 12-month commercial warranty. It covers defects and functional faults that appear after purchase: you can get the device repaired, replaced, or refunded.

You also have 30 days to return it if you change your mind. Return shipping is covered.

The 12-month commercial warranty is separate from, and in addition to, your statutory consumer rights under UK law.

Samsung Galaxy series guide

Samsung Galaxy S Series Samsung's flagship range. The Galaxy S25 Ultra (from £706), S24 Ultra (from £429), and S23 Ultra (from £329) offer high-end camera systems, powerful processors, and long software support. A refurbished S Series phone delivers all of that at a significantly lower price.

Samsung Galaxy A Series The everyday option. The Galaxy A56 (from £219), A55 (from £167), and A54 (from £121) balance screen quality, battery life, and reliability without the flagship price tag. A popular choice for no-fuss daily use.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip Samsung's foldable range. The Z Fold7 (from £813), Z Fold6 (from £531), Z Flip7 (from £488), and Z Flip6 (from £348) are all available refurbished. If you want something genuinely different, this is where to look.
