New phones are expensive. While Samsung Galaxy smartphones are the world’s best-selling Android smartphones, new models have price tags to match their quality and popularity. Some shoppers try to beat (or manage) the cost by going on a payment plan or buying a phone straight from the manufacturer’s website. But if you really want the lowest possible price, maybe it’s time to consider buying a used Samsung Galaxy.
A lot of people are wary of second hand phones for sale. While they’re far cheaper and better for the environment, many shoppers share common concerns: ‘How do I know it’s going to be any good?’ ‘What if I don’t get what I paid for?’ ‘What about a warranty?’ It can feel safer to head down to your local shopping mall and drop your cash on the latest Samsung Galaxy model to hit the shelves. Not so fast, though. There’s a way to ensure you get a second hand Samsung Galaxy phone that’s fully functioning with a warranty, fast delivery and a price that leaves more pay in your pocket. Refurbished Samsung Phones are the answer.
If you’ve owned a Samsung smartphone before, you know how many benefits they have: multi-tasking options like Multi Window mode, security that both businesses and governments trust, an instant desktop or Smart TV connection with Samsung DeX, plus some of the best cameras you’ll find on any smartphone. These days, most of us want to save all the money we can, so “where can I find second hand phones near me?” is a question you may already be asking. Are second hand Samsung Galaxy phones worth taking a chance on? Yes, but the best way to ensure they’re worth your while is to buy them refurbished.
How do Phones Become Refurbished?
A refurbished phone is a used smartphone that a professional organisation like OzMobiles has thoroughly checked, tested and repaired if necessary before re-selling. Refurbished phones have generally had previous owners, with the exception of “ex-demo” phones that have often only been taken out of their boxes to be put on display in retail stores. As long as the seller is trustworthy, a refurbished phone will be fully functional and come with a warranty included. Many are sold with grades according to the conditions they’re in, whether that’s close to new or visibly worn with a weathered “second-hand” look.
Here’s how the process works from our end: OzMobiles buys your unwanted devices and sends cash your way within 24 hours. We erase any data on the phone you may have missed, ensure the phone isn’t stolen or lost, and put it through a 72-point testing process at our Melbourne headquarters using Blancco testing software. This includes battery life, which we ensure is at least 80% of its capacity.
