This is the first phone I've purchased for myself, and I have to say it does not dissappoint. It is a major upgrade from a Samsung Galaxy s8 and checks all the boxes in what I wanted in a new phone. Great camera quality, more storage, responsive and larger screen. Best part was I didn't have to spend over 1k to own it. 10/10 would purchase from Back Market again.

My S23 ultra came to Venezuela two days ago, honestly it didn't came in fair state..... think it's really in amazing state, almost brand new one, just a few scratchs, but everything work totally perfect. The package also came with a data cable usb-C and a pretty silicon case with the logo of the lab (Cellfee). I wasn't expecting get it with the Spen, but there was, inside of the Phone and totally functional. And also the Phone came with a screen protector. I highly recommend the seller, was the first device that i buy here in Backmarket, and Cellfee make it perfect.

This is my second time to get a phone from Back Market. Initially I got a Galaxy Note 10. Yes if was old, I used it over 10 years. It was a great phone. Just like new. This time I got a Galaxy S23 Ultra. Again, just like new. No problem connecting to network or transferring data from my ancient phone! I love the phone; yet I am so far behind on the technological leap from a 10 to a 23! I highly recommend purchasing a phone from Back Market. It is much less expensive than buying new and it helps the planet to recycle this tech. I've never had an issue to resolve with Back Market. Things have always been as Back Market said they would be. I tried to get a refurbished phone from AT&T. If was clear that they had not checked all the points that they claimed to check. Back Market does the job right!

I just received my Galaxy s23 ultra today (fair condition), and all I can say is that I'm amazed with the quality! I don't have much money to spend , so I was kind of hesitant to buy refurbished, but back market definitely changed my mind! I will always continue to support this amazing company, and it's sellers .

So far, it's been great. The phone looked flawless and it was very well packaged, it really does look brand new. It runs smooth and I have not seen any problems as of today.

I am very happy with my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. At first, I had a minor issue installing the SIM card, but after a few seconds, my phone accepted it without any problems, and the device works perfectly. Thank you very much for the product.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra sits at the top of Samsung’s smartphone lineup, bringing pro-level tools to everyday users. Released in February 2023, it’s only one generation old as of 2025, which means most of its hardware is still very much in the “cutting edge” club. Key highlights include its large display, distinctively integrated S Pen, and a camera system that raises the bar for mobile zoom and detail.

Key features:

Release Date: February 2023
Display: 6.8-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz refresh rate
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy
Camera: Quad rear cameras: 200MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, 10MP 3x telephoto, 10MP 10x periscope telephoto
Stylus: Integrated S Pen for note-taking, sketching, and remote control
Build: Armor Aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front and back
Connectivity: 5G and Wi-Fi 6E compatible
Operating System: Ships with Android 13 (One UI 5.1)

Who is this for?

The Galaxy S23 Ultra is made for multitaskers, productivity pros, and anyone who needs a big screen for creative work or detailed viewing. If you’ve outgrown “good enough” smartphone cameras, the S23 Ultra’s quartet of lenses, especially that 200MP main sensor, lets you get closer or see more without a lot of extra gear. Compared to the S24 Ultra, you’re not missing much in terms of day-to-day use, but you’ll save yourself the shiny-new-tax – and the S23 Ultra still outclasses most other Android phones on the market. If you just want a basic, pocketable phone, this probably isn’t your match.

Pros & Cons: Pros Cons High-resolution 200MP camera for detailed photos. Large and heavy—not for small hands or tight pockets. Integrated S Pen for precise input and productivity features. Pricey repairs if dropped—gargantuan screens tend to crack rather than bounce. Smooth 120Hz display makes gaming and scrolling feel fluid. No microSD slot—cloud storage fans won’t mind, but file hoarders might. Top-tier performance from its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. Overkill for casual users—if you just check email, the Ultra is probably Ultra-unnecessary.
Why refurbished?

At Back Market, every pre-owned device goes through rigorous testing to ensure it’s up to our standards—no shortcuts. If you want to see what that means, read about our quality standards here.
