    After 1 day of use nothing to say 😁 I've already experienced refurbishing (on another site ....) and almost 2 months later the phone has given up the ghost.... so see in time.... I got this phone for my son's first day at secondary school and I hope it will do the job 🤞 the only downside is that it has the charging cable but not the plug ... fortunately I always have some in advance!

    I bought this phone for my grandmother, and it's really nice to use and very intuitive. The battery doesn't last very long, but otherwise it's great!

    I'm very annoyed, the problem isn't with the device itself, which is perfect and corresponds to the description, but with my absent-mindedness. I didn't measure my husband's hand properly, and this smartphone is really too small for him. I'd need at least the size of the redmi note 8. I hope I'll find what I'm looking for with you!

    Hello, for the moment my husband is satisfied with the size of the laptop, now we'll have to wait and see what happens to the battery, apart from that the delivery is impeccable, thank you.

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
