    Hello, I'll be frank with you. I bought this phone in a hurry because I'd just smashed mine thinking it hadn't withstood the fall. And in fact, the day after I ordered it, I realised that it must still be working because I was getting sound notifications from my connected watch and my car. I went to see a local repairer who confirmed that it was working and that it was only the screen that had been cracked. I asked to have it repaired and it works perfectly. I went to your site to try and cancel the order, but it was too late. So I'm keeping it as a back-up. Best regards JJM

    The phone has a number of shortcomings: in particular, the battery drains very quickly, it's impossible to install certain applications because the operating system seems too old, and the power button falls off after a few days' use...

    I'm quite disappointed because I like BackMArket, this phone cuts out every 15 seconds when I'm on WhatsApp, the battery life is very short, barely 2 minutes, and it's impossible to download Waze because it's not compatible.

    Perfect product, except for the battery, which is less powerful than on my previous phone, even though it's the same model.

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
