    No problem with the delivery, although I'm not sure that all the data from the previous user has been erased, as some Spanish contact names appear. Above all, one of the two microphones doesn't work, so I can only make calls in speakerphone mode, otherwise the person I'm talking to can't hear me. Of course, I checked all the settings.

    Hello, As I am unable to put my previous appliance back into service correctly, I am reconsidering my decision to return it. I would like to inform you that I am not making the return that you announced prematurely. NB: this option is not provided by the software... Thank you in advance for recording my decision, Yours sincerely, A. MERMILLOD

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
