    So happy with my Google Pixel 8 - feels and looks like a new phone. Hadn't considered having a refurbished phone until a family member recommended 'Back Market'. So pleased I followed their advice and saved a lot of money!

    I bought it as "good" condition but it was basically like new, so I was very happy with it. The battery thus far is exactly what I'd expect of a new phone. It arrived in minimal packaging without loads of unnecessary plastic which was good. Only downside is it didn't come with the original charging plug, but luckily I already had one from my previous pixel phone. Would definitely recommend buying a refurbished phone and will continue to do so in future.

    This is a great little phone. Battery is excellent (at least compared to my older Samsung S10+) and it provides everything I need. Its taking me a little while to make sure all my apps log in corrrectly and I am in the process of changing my SIM provider. It will be nice to see how this works with 5G. I really cant see why people pay thousands for a new phone when this, with 5 years left of the support envelope and perfectly good performance characteristics, is available for a fraction of the price. This is my 3rd (possibly 4th?) purchase through Backmarket and my first port of call whenever I need/want a refurbished phone - which isn't that often as these "nearly new" options keep me going for a few years at least.

    It's great that there are so many Precise options, making sure your phone is what you need. Love getting refurbished phones, so much life left in them and much better for the environment. Fast shipping, easy and smooth to do

    Overall pretty happy with my purchase of a Pixel. Was understandably nervous about spending over £300 on a refurbished phone but it works very smoothly and the battery life, one of my main worries, is excellent - up to 2 days with my use. I chose an "excellent" condition phone, the screen and body are immaculate, no signs of any use. There is a slight scrape on the camera bar which is noticeable but really not an issue especially as I now have the phone in a case. I am missing the design, ergonomics and lighter weight of my Samsung S10, the Pixel 8 is noticeably heavier and thicker and the protruding camera bar takes a bit of getting used to. But the Pixel 8 is faster and with much smoother connectivity. The camera app is a pleasure to use and gives great results. The Back Market website is very well designed and made it easy to choose a phone. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a phone from Back Market again based on my experience. I've saved ££s and helped the environment. The only reason I rate my experience as "Pretty Good" rather than "Awesome" is because I ordered the slightly more expensive grey model, but received a cheaper black model. But I elected to keep this as wasn'...

    Very happy with my new Google Pixel 8. It was in perfect condition and at a great savings compared with new. Delivery was quicker than predicted and I am happy to recommend BackMarket. I will certainly shop with them again.

Reborn vs. brand new

Here’s what you help prevent on average by choosing a reborn smartphone over a brand new one.

77.3 kg of carbon

That’s like driving an old banger from London to Edinburgh and back.

6.3 oz of e-waste

That’s around the weight of a baseball.

537.1 lbs of raw materials

That's like 20 dogs digging in your yard for a week.

77,000 litres of water

That's like running a faucet for 3 days
