    I have been using the product for years with satisfaction, the one purchased will be a spare so as not to learn new phones when mine is no longer usable. Anyway I switched it on to check its condition, result: EXCELLENT. The battery and camera I did not test!!! Same assessment for the other two products purchased and already in use for a few months.

    I am delighted with my purchase, a refurbished device, which is exactly what I wanted. It is fairly light, not too big, and although a 2016 model, it is perfect. Thank you

    The phone has not been unlocked, it came with an Orange operator and I have not been able to use it. The product arrived in very good condition and was perfect, except for the fact that it did not read any of the 4 sims I have at home. It's been a problem, because now I'm going to be without a mobile phone for 3 or 5 days.

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
