Good iPhone or Galaxy deal? It’s the best time to shop refurbished with Back Market!

Smartphones have gone a long way over the past 20 years. It used to be that the hardware was rapidly developing, and each year there was some major improvement — be it with the camera, the performance, battery life, or just a radical new design that you had to have.

Nowadays, things have cooled down a little. You can rock a 3-year old phone and, as long as the battery is in good condition, not find yourself wanting for anything. Which is why a lot of users have stopped upgrading annually or even once every two years.

And a lot of savvy shoppers even prefer to get an older flagship phone at a major discount than buying today’s midrangers, which launched with a slower processor and worse camera. Where do you find such “old” phones?

One place to go to is the second-hand market, but few veer in that direction. You don’t know the condition, state, or legitimacy of the device. And let’s face it — a lot of sellers don’t even know what they are selling and can accidentally send you a locked phone or one with a bad battery.

The second, more reliable way, is to shop from a reputable refurbished phone reseller, like Back Market.

Back Market is a global company specializing in refurbishing and re-selling various electronics, smartphones included. There are multiple benefits to shopping for an older model, and Back Market makes sure it’s done right:

• You save money on a new purchase
• The devices are inspected and graded, so you know exactly what you are buying
• Batteries are tested and guaranteed to have at least 80% capacity (90% for Premium grade units)
• Batteries with lower health are replaced
• Ports, SIM slots, biometric sensors, cameras, flashes, GPS, and screens are tested
• Phones are checked for carrier locks and advertised accordingly
• IMEIs go through a legitimacy check to make sure the device is not blacklisted
• 1-year warranty, free 30-day returns

So, with that in mind, you can confidently get a flagship like an iPhone 13 or a Galaxy S22. These phones were at the top of the food chain when they were released, and you can expect them to be much better than an entry-level phone today.
