    Received the phone very quickly as was purchased for our son who needed a phone for school. The phone appears perfect and only slight concern is the battery life is a bit short, compared to my phone, but accept that as it is deemed an older phone and was deemed fair condition.

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
