I think the testing of your devices could be a little more thorough. Annoyance 1: The current battery life on this gen 3 is very similar to the current battery life on my gen 1. Given that my gen 1 is a couple of years older, I didn't expect this. But it means either my gen 1 battery is performing very well despite the 2019 release date or the 2021 release of the gen 3 is performing worse than it should. Annoyance 2: I'm still trying to figure out if the touchscreen has small dead spots or if it is intermittently unresponsive/hyperactive. When I'm watching videos (YT or VLC) it very often takes 6 or 8 taps for only 2 of them to register. But in contrast, and this has only happe...

Verified purchaseSo far so good, turned up in excellent condition, barely any marks on it at all. Great camera and display! Very happy with it. Came with a generic charging cable, I already had an official Sony one so all good.

Here’s what you help prevent on average by choosing a reborn smartphone over a brand new one.
That’s like driving an old banger from London to Edinburgh and back.
That’s around the weight of a baseball.
That's like 20 dogs digging in your yard for a week.
That's like running a faucet for 3 days
