Need some ideas to help you get started? Here are some of the best second hand Samsung phones to buy in 2023.

Benefits of Samsung Phones

Founded in 1938, Samsung has sold goods across various industries, including food and insurance. Yet the South Korean company’s electronics business, which started to take off in a big way in the 70s, really put the company on the map. It paved the way for smartphone success, which began to roll in when the company released its original Samsung Galaxy in 2009.

As the world’s top-selling smartphone manufacturer now, Samsung make smartphones that are as good as it gets for the Android operating system. No matter which model device you get, buying any sort of second hand Samsung phones means benefits like:

Worldwide availability

Samsung is multi-national in the truest sense of the word. No matter where you go, Samsung devices, accessories and services are almost guaranteed to be available.

Multi-tasking capabilities

Features like the Multi Window and App Pair functions make it easier to perform multiple tasks on your Samsung phone simultaneously.

The Google Play store

Samsung’s Google Play shop is the world’s largest app store, with more than two million available apps, including all the highest sellers.

Samsung DeX

The DeX function allows you to quickly turn your phone into a workstation or observe your photos and videos on the big screen. Wireless DeX is available, too, making it easy for you to connect your phone to a smart TV or monitor and use a keyboard and mouse with it.

Long-lasting battery

One trait that makes Samsung smartphones so reliable and popular is that they come equipped with long battery lives to carry you through the day.

Top-notch security

Samsung Knox protects Samsung smartphones at both hardware and software levels at a level that both governments and businesses trust. As soon as you turn on your Samsung phone, you’ll benefit from this encryption and protection service.

5G-ready

Samsung was one of the first smartphone companies to develop 5G-enabled phones.  Now 5G is common across Samsung phones, whether they’re flagship or entry-level.

Impressive camera standards

It’s well-known that Samsung smartphones come with excellent camera quality, but you can do even more with a Samsung camera than you may think. You can use long-exposure photos to capture the movement of time in motion, move the shutter button to a more convenient location, scan documents and QR codes and take slow-motion videos. Of course, these features may vary depending on what kind of Samsung phone you get. But bright and clear photos that look sharp whether you take them day or night are a given across both new and used Samsung Phones.

Best Second Hand Samsung Phones to Get in 2023

New year, new phone – but without the price tag that comes with a new model? Sounds like a good deal. Some of the best refurbished Samsung phones available include:

Galaxy Z Flip4 5G

One of Samsung’s very best foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is made of ultra-thin glass that allows it to neatly fold right up and fit in your pocket, even if it’s a small one. Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor, the phone boasts an impressively high level of performance that allows you to use it for functions like gaming with ease. There are three cameras – Main, Ultra-Wide and Selfie – plus a healthy all-day battery life.

Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

It comes with a 6.9-inch 120Hz display and impressive screen resolution, a 50x zoom camera, a Stylus pen that allows you to write smoothly and easily, and the power to stream Xbox games. From taking photos to taking notes on the go, this versatile model can make your day easier and more fun in a number of different ways.

Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra was the flagship phone of 2022 and one of the company’s best and most powerful phones to date. It included – and enhanced – all of the things that Samsung lovers appreciate, with the fastest chip of all time, a longer-lasting battery, the strongest ever night photography and the inclusion of an S Pen like the Note range.

Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G

The flagship Samsung phone of 2021 is still a good buy, especially since you can now save almost a grand by buying one refurbished (stocks are limited!). It comes with a bright 6.8-inch AMOLED display and 120Hz refresh rate, four camera lenses that can take crisp, clear photos and achieve as much as 100x zoom, and a lightning-fast fingerprint scanner for responsiveness.

Galaxy A53 5G

If value for money is one of your main priorities, the Galaxy A53 offers many sought-after Samsung qualities – such as a high-quality camera set-up and a crisp and clear screen, for a more affordable price. With a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass protection, it’s powerful and high-performing enough to satisfy most Samsung fans.
