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 pre-owned phone, there is no guarantee that it will perform like-new and you accept whatever condition it is in.

Where to shop for refurbished phones?

You may be able to find a refurbished phones section on some tech retailer sites or buy directly from the companies that actually handle the refurbishment process. However, it can be hard to fully trust that these sellers are actually going through the proper measures to make sure the phone is operating like-new. Instead, you should purchase from Back Market, since we specialize in refurbished tech and take the time to vet and handpick only the best refurbished sellers available to feature in our marketplace. We have thousands of certified refurbished smartphones on our catalog, so you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices when you shop with us.  Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you take advantage of phone deals on our platform.

Smartphone warranty and return policy

All phone purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best smartphone for your needs at lower prices.

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.

Phone Trade In

If you're looking to replace your current smartphone, why not trade it into Back Market to get a little extra budget for your next phone upgrade? We make the process simple for you and we'll give you a free online quote when you answer a few easy questions about your current phone model.
