Refurbished phone deals make sense for the planet and your wallet – here are our top picks on devices that we’ve reviewed and loved at TechRadar.
If you’re looking for a decent phone but don’t want to pay an eye-watering sum for the latest flagships then refurbished phone deals could be for you.
Refurbished phone deals, and refurb tech in general, have come a long way in recent years. While second-hand tech sometimes conjures thoughts of broken items with outdated components, these days it’s a completely valid route for getting a great phone at a discount.
Not only do Apple, Amazon, Best Buy, and many other retailers have official reconditioning and renewal programs, but dedicated refurb retailers like Back Market and Swappa offer easy-to-use marketplaces for both sellers and buyers. There are some great refurbished phone deals to be had on some of the best phones money can buy – and I’ve laid out this week’s best options just below. Today’s best deals on refurbished phones
Apple iPhone 13: was $629 now $363.99 at Back Market
My favorite refurb iPhone deal in the US at the moment? It’s got to be the excellent iPhone 13 at Back Market. At under $400, you’re paying a great price here for a device that we ranks as the best value on our best phones list. Outwardly, the device doesn’t look too dated despite having the infamous ‘notch’, and internally it’s still powerful enough to breeze through day-to-day tasks. It also supports iOS 18 too, which is a real bonus.
In the UK: was £599 now £310 at Back Market
Samsung Galaxy S22: was $579 now $204.60 at Back Market
It’s two years old now, but the Samsung Galaxy S22 is still a great choice for an everyday phone.
