Intro: Rise of the Space Black Phoenix: The iPhone 14 Pro 256GB from Back Market isn’t just a phone; it's a comeback story in a sleek Space Black suit. Unboxing this beauty felt like revealing a secret agent gadget – classy, cool, and with a license to thrill. Craftsmanship: Darth Vader Would Be Jealous: This phone’s build is so premium, it makes other phones look like they’re wearing hand-me-downs. Space Black is not just a color; it’s an attitude. And refurbished? More like, it's been to a spa and back. Performance: Like a Cheetah on a Rocket: Powered by the A16 Bionic, this device is faster than my ability to make puns. 256GB means I can hoard apps like a digital squirrel and still have room for more. Photography Wizard: Hogwarts Certified: The camera turns every shot into a masterpiece. I mean, if Van Gogh had a smartphone, this would be it. Night mode isn't just a feature; it's a nocturnal magic show. Display: Your Eyes Will Thank You: The Super Retina XDR display is so vibrant, rainbows would feel insecure. And with ProMotion, scrolling is smoother than my best pick-up lines. Battery Life: Energizer Bunny's Role Model: It lasts longer than my resolve to avoid sweets. And ...

Aye my refurbished iPhone 13 is grand. Phone came quickly and well wrapped. It’s a Fair model so it has bumps and paint scrapes but no dents or bashes. The battery goes up to 100% which I’m chuffed about. Refurbished phones are definitely the way forward. Has taken a bit of time going from a Samsung to Apple, no proper back button and the set up of picture scrolling and a few other things aren’t as good. Will probably go back to Samsung with my next phone but wanted to try Apple for once. Would highly recommend BackMarket, good little unit altogether.

Decided to try out a refurbished phone and have to say i'm really impressed. went for an iPhone 12 in "good" condition and it's in perfect condition. Battery percentage is at 85% but i don't mind that as i know it will still have an original apple battery

I was skeptical to order because it was my first time to order a refurbished phone but i am surprised when i received the it. I ordered fair yet it came with good condition. There are few scratches visible at the sides but when i put the phone case, it’s gorgeous. No damage at all in the front screen. Performance wise, in the year 2024, Google Pixel 6 pro is still a nice choice if you’re a casual gamer and it does what it supposed to do.

What is a refurbished phone?

 

A refurbished phone is any smartphone that has been restored to its original condition and performance. You might also hear it referred to as a renewed, reconditioned or restored phone, but these all mean that the phone has undergone a process of repair, cleaning, and testing such that it meets the same standards as a brand new device. If it's just a used or second hand phone, there is no guarantee that it will perform like-new and you accept whatever condition it is in.

A refurbished phone may be due to multiple reasons, but commonly it is because users have upgraded their handset with the newest smartphone, and opted to trade-in their old smartphone.

 

What to expect when buying a refurbished phone

 

First, understand that your device may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect phone performance and you can expect your device to perform as if it were just opened from the original box. You should also be confident that your phone purchase is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.

Browse the wide range of refurbished android phones and iPhones on the Back Market website, and find offers starting from 20% to 50% off the normal retail price of the same phone if bought new.

 

Why buy a second hand and reconditioned phone from Back Market?

 

Refurbished mobile phones are still perfectly good, and all from Back Market are high quality, sim free, and overall cheaper than brand new up to 50%. Each seller on Back Market is subject to a strict quality vetting procedure to ensure their reconditioned phones are sold in fully working order, so there is no catch! but more importantly, you can help encourage others to save the environment by purchasing a refurbished mobile phone instead of a new one.

At Back Market we describe our grading system as the following:

Appearance: Excellent - the body will have micro-scratches, but invisible at a distance of 20cm, and the screen will have no scratches whatsoever.

Technical condition: Excellent - durability is the best, and chances of encountering a technical software issue are highly unlikely.

Appearance: Good - the body will have slight wear and tear and micro-scratches not visible from 20 inches instead. The screen will still have no scratches or any damage whatsoever.

Technical condition: Good - durability is above average, but chances of encountering a technical software issue still very small.

Appearance: Fair - the body will have visible scratches/dents, and the screen will have some scratches but become invisible when the screen is turned off.

Technical condition: Fair - durability is average, and technical issues still correspond to the quality levels required by our quality charter.

 

Better for your wallet and for the planet, a refurbished and cheap phone from Back Market is the perfect option for those who like to have the latest tech in the palm of their hand at a much more economical price.
