I couldn't be happier with my Galaxy S23 Ultra. I needed a phone with a decent camera to take quality pics for my new crafting side hussle that's becoming a business. My basic smartphone that was adequate enough for years became no longer fit for purpose. I've never felt the need to get the latest phone and regularly upgrade. Spending over £400 was a huge leap for me. But getting a phone that was top of the range relatively recently for a fraction of the price was a non trainer, so reconditioned is the way to ho for me. In very happy

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!

Refurbished device was as advertised and in good condition. Turned up a little earlier than promised. Promptly managed to break its screen. Had bought the insurance offered when buying the device. Accepted my claim without fuss; sent back the device and they swiftly fixed and returned (or it's a different one; can't tell, and don't mind either way - it's in good condition and works).

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.
