    The phone was really slow, the battery doesn't hold any charge- to use it it needs to be plugged in. Luckily it was only a phone for my son so it will tide him over until my contract is up and he can have my old phone. I wouldn't recommend I should have just spent a touch more and bought new. Live and learn.

    Hello dear team, I ordered this from you for the first time and am totally thrilled. I never thought that a used mobile phone could be so great. Thank you very much, I will be happy to buy from you more often.

    Top quality, device in good to very good condition - unfortunately, however, not the model GT-I9505 ordered (and also shown in the shipping note) but the "Value Edition" GT-I9515. The device is supposed to be configured as an identical replacement device for my existing S4 (GT-I9505), which according to my knowledge should (hopefully) also work with the delivered GT-I9515.

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
