Should I wait for Black Friday to buy a refurbished Samsung Galaxy phone?

You don't need to wait. Refurbished Samsung Galaxy phones on Back Market are already priced well below new: the Galaxy S24 starts at $365 versus $799.99 new, and flagship savings run even higher across the range. Black Friday promotions go live November 1st and stack on top of those already-lower prices. Browse Black Friday Smartphone deals to see what's available now.

Are refurbished Samsung Galaxy phones worth buying?

Yes, and the savings make a strong case. The Galaxy Z Fold7 runs $1,331 refurbished versus $2,199.99 new. The Galaxy S25+ goes for $581 versus $999.99 new. Budget options like the Galaxy A42 5G start at just $90. Every device on Back Market passes an up to 100-point quality inspection, with a minimum 80% battery health and 100% charge capacity guaranteed. A 1-year warranty and 30-day free returns come included on every order.

What do refurbished Samsung Galaxy condition grades mean?

All four grades are fully functional; the only difference is cosmetic condition. A lower grade means more savings with identical specs and performance. Grade What to expect Best for Fair Visible scratches or scuffs; works perfectly Maximum savings Good Light signs of use, minor scratches Everyday value Excellent Minimal wear, near-pristine appearance Balanced price and looks Premium Closest to new appearance; the only grade described as like new Best cosmetic condition

Should I buy an unlocked or carrier-locked Samsung Galaxy?

Unlocked is the more flexible option: it works with any US carrier, including AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, and travels with you internationally. A carrier-locked phone costs less upfront but is tied to one network. The Galaxy S24 Ultra unlocked runs $682.49 versus $548 AT&T-locked, a real difference for the same phone. If you're also considering other Android options, Black Friday Google Pixel deals are worth a look too.

Where can I buy a refurbished Samsung Galaxy safely?

Back Market is a dedicated refurbished marketplace with strict seller standards. Every purchase includes prices well below new, such as the Galaxy S25 Ultra from $699 versus $1,249.99 new and the Galaxy Z Fold7 from $1,331 versus $2,199.99 new, a 1-year warranty on every device, 30-day free returns, an up to 100-point professional inspection before listing, and a minimum 80% battery health with 100% charge capacity guaranteed. Also shopping for Apple? Black Friday iPhone deals are live on Back Market too.

Is buying a refurbished Samsung Galaxy better for the environment?

Yes. Based on Back Market's calculation using the ADEME 2022 study, a refurbished smartphone avoids 92% of the greenhouse gas emissions of an equivalent new device on the manufacturing phase, or roughly 77 kg of CO2e per device. That matters because most of a smartphone's total carbon footprint is locked in before it's even switched on. Choosing refurbished extends the life of an existing device instead of triggering a new manufacturing cycle, cutting e-waste in the process.

I am profoundly grateful to have received my Samsung Galaxy A42 5G 128GB in Black, arriving in pristine condition—its screen unmarred, battery fully optimized, casing immaculate, and all ports, buttons, and camera lenses functioning flawlessly upon meticulous inspection. Back Market’s exemplary customer support representatives, Anna and Kat, resolved every concern with unparalleled care and attentiveness, particularly as a disabled customer deserving of such tailored service. It is earnestly hoped that Back Market will offer protective phone covers tailored for refurbished devices.

I was so anxious buying refurbished. There's plenty of horror stories online about getting refurbished phones in awful condition and then having to deal with customer support from hell. But I needed a new phone and didn't want to contribute to the over-consumption we see every day from so many people. I saw the S24+ as my best option for price while still having many good years left of security updates from Samsung. When I first received it, I was worried, as I ordered it unlocked, but it came in a official Verizon refurbished box. But thankfully when I turned it on, it was unlocked as I purchased. The quality is amazing, there's genuinely no sign of it being used except for a couple extremely miniscule scratches on the screen. The actual phone itself is so good at multitasking, I can have so many apps running in the background without it getting slow or stuttering. I'm very happy with my purchase and will definitely look to buy from here again.

I purchased a Galaxy Gear Ultra watch from Back Market and have been very impressed. The watch arrived quickly, securely packaged, and in even better condition than I expected. Setup was easy, battery life is strong, and the performance has been flawless. This was my first Back Market purchase, and it left me confident in their refurbishing standards and customer experience. I’m already planning future purchases.

Great phone so far...!!! I was a bit nervous that it wouldn't be refurbished with Samsung oem parts because my last 2 phones were supposed to have all oem parts, but when they came the screen was aftermarket... but this is truly oem! So thanks so much! Also, I absolutely love the camera... so much better than my s22 ultra. Takes up more space, but it's definitely worth it... has pretty good performance, the GPU can't quite render the graphics perfect on highest grapgics settings on Xplane, but still decent... could does great, and RAM is approximately 55-65% used all the time...( I do have 3 background apps running all the time) but still works great!!!

It came in flawless condition. Everything worked perfectly. I got it when you guys were having a sale on the weekend on a Saturday. It was only a little dirty with some dust where the speaker was on the bottom but I was able to clean it with soft brush. Other than that my new Galaxy S25 Ultra is awesome. The site was very easy to use and find what I was looking for. I will ook for more things on your website see if you guys have any other deals possible for a switch 2? And I will be browsing as now when I post this to see what else you guys sell 😆 in short my experience with my SAMSUNG GALAXY S25 ULTRA IS AWESOME 😎

I was very septic buying a refurbished phone. But reading reviews and good ratings and excellent price i wanted to try. Better than expected. Not a single scratch or anything showing it’s not brand new, except the box it came in. Not original packaging. All setup was smooth like on a new one. Only added a case. Very impressed and will use back market again.

So far i am loving my tablet. I didn't need much, so this tablet was perfect. I read reviews about the battery life on these tablets not being the best, but even refurbished, it has not been an issue for me. Granted I use it for the most basic work and for streaming (I do not have a TV in my room) and it is great. No complaints!

Second purchase from Back Market. Had a Galaxy S22, dropped/broke the screen. Rather than fix the phone, decided to upgrade to Galaxy S25 Ultra. Both purchases have been great, received as promised, no working problems. Side note: only problem, Me.

Not gonna lie, I was a little skeptical about buying these refurbished buds but honestly, other from the fact that it says it's refurbished...you would think it's brand new. The shipping was fast and I even got the buds in the original box. The buds and the case were supppperrr clean, I literally thought they were new and they sound excellent. Great purchase!

My phone arrived on the same day delivery anticipated it would, which is a rarity with majority of my online buys elsewhere. My Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is in immaculate condition. I am definitely satisfied with my purchase. I highly recommend Backmarket to anyone looking for refurbished tech. Oh yeah...I almost forgot! The cherry on top? Their customer service is top notch. And not just some help bot. I mean an actual human being will respond to you with impeccable timing. This is my 2nd purchase with Backmarket and I have absolutely no regrets. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Black Friday Samsung deals: refurbished Galaxy phones, ready before the countdown ends

Back Market's Black Friday Samsung page is built for shoppers who don't want to wait. The Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra sit at Back Market's regular refurbished pricing, each one costing less than its new equivalent. Exclusive Black Friday promotions and flash deals go live on November 1st, stacked on top of these everyday savings.

A Galaxy S24 or Galaxy A42 5G already leaves the new-device price tag behind, all year round. Anyone comparing brands can browse the wider Black Friday Smartphone deals hub, covering iPhone and Google Pixel handsets too.

How to shop smart for a Black Friday Samsung deal

Match the model to your budget, not the headline. A Galaxy S10E or Galaxy A03s still runs everyday apps well, at a fraction of the cost of a Galaxy Z Fold7.
This page also covers select refurbished Samsung tablets, worth a browse even if a phone isn't the goal.
Confirm whether a listing is unlocked or tied to a carrier like Verizon or AT&T, since that affects which network the phone works with.
Bookmark this page and check back from November 1st for flash deals and Black Friday week promotions.

Flagship or foldable: which Galaxy is right for you

Buyers chasing the latest camera should look toward the S-series, from the Galaxy S24 to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, while anyone curious about a folding screen can step into a Galaxy Z Fold7 for meaningfully less than list price. Not set on Samsung? Black Friday iPhone deals and Black Friday Google Pixel deals sit one click away. Every handset here supports Back Market's mission: keeping quality tech in use for longer, before, during and after Black Friday.
