    Was really pleased with the service and how quick I received after ordering. The phone is exactly as described but the only thing I can complain about is the battery, it needs charging everyday even when I haven’t usrd

    Absolute rubbish! The back was so firmly glued on that I damaged it in removing it. Same with the battery - it was glued in place! Bought another one, £12 cheaper, on Amazon which arrived next day and entirely as described.

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
