I honestly couldn’t be happier with my purchase from Back Market. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra I received looks absolutely brand new – not a single scratch or mark. The condition is way beyond my expectations. The phone itself is amazing and incredibly fast, and the delivery was surprisingly quick. I would never have expected a refurbished phone to arrive in such a perfect, like-new condition. I can genuinely recommend Back Market to everyone. This experience has completely exceeded my expectations!

It's my 3rd device bought from this website. Each time I am very pleased and gives me confidence to always check here first when searching for mobiles/laptops and what else there is. Its easy to navigate platform >> add your items in the basket, make waranty and payment choices. My latest order is a phone Samsung S23 Ultra that works really good, like new. I am a happy customer and I recommend you give it a go and see for yourself. Also, it makes sense to do some good to the planet and try to get refurbished items if you can. I hope it will help you make an informed decision. Many thanks for reading.

Totally satisfied with my purchase. It is a top rated Which? reviewed phone, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Promptly delivered and in perfect condition and working well. Many new features that my old phone did not have, so I feel it is a really good upgrade - I got it from Back Market for a brilliant value for money purchase price. Love that it is refurbished too. It's an added bonus that the carbon footprint is so much lower than a new phone. Refurbished to this specification is always best. Really appreciate the ethics as well as the product, many thanks.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is a flagship smartphone that made its debut in February 2023. While it’s now a generation behind Samsung’s latest, this model still stands tall thanks to its advanced display, high-resolution camera setup, and robust performance. For those looking for top-tier specs in 2025, the S23 Ultra remains a savvy, future-proof choice, especially when you’re happy to use something that’s less-than-brand-spanking-new—but still every bit as sharp.

Key features:

Release Date: February 2023
Display: 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, QHD+ (3088 x 1440 px), 120Hz refresh rate
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy (global parent spec)
Camera: Quad rear camera system: 200MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, 10MP telephoto (3x), 10MP periscope telephoto (10x optical zoom)
Operating System: Ships with Android 13 (upgradable via Samsung’s One UI)
Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 6E support
Extras: S Pen stylus support, IP68 dust and water resistance, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front/back, Armour aluminium frame
Connectivity: 5G compatible for speedy downloads and streaming

Who is this for?

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is a beast for power users who need their phone to be a sketchbook, a camera, and a productivity workhorse in one. It’s ideal for creatives, professionals who like to scribble notes with the S Pen, or anyone who wants that massive screen for Netflix marathons or detailed editing. Its camera system genuinely stands out for high-resolution photography and versatility, while the large, crisp display is purpose-built for multitaskers and mobile media fanatics. If you’re after a more pocketable device, the Galaxy S23 or S23+ might suit you better, but for those chasing flagship features, this is still one of the most complete Android packages you can find—refurbished or otherwise.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
200MP camera for ultra-detailed shots and crisp zoom.	Large size may be unwieldy for smaller hands or pockets.
S Pen support makes note-taking and sketching easy.	No microSD slot—expansion fans will miss it.
Vibrant, expansive QHD+ display with adaptive 120Hz refresh rate.	Premium build makes it a bit heavy—definitely chunky.
Built-in IP68 water and dust resistance.	Charging brick not included (in line with recent industry “progress”).

Why refurbished?

Picking a refurbished Galaxy S23 Ultra is an earth-friendly nod to circular tech—keeping quality devices in use and reducing e-waste. Every device on Back Market meets strict quality checks, so you know your phone has been thoroughly tested, cleaned, and is ready for its next adventure. Learn more about our quality standards.
