Battery reviews for refurbished smartphones, by verified buyers

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.

recently purchased an iPhone 14 from Back Market, and I’m honestly really impressed with the experience. I was a bit skeptical about buying a refurbished phone at first, but it exceeded my expectations. The phone arrived quickly and was in excellent condition—honestly, it looked almost brand new. There were little to no visible scratches, and everything worked perfectly right out of the box. The battery life has been solid, and performance is just as smooth and fast as you’d expect from an iPhone 14. What I appreciated most was the value for money. I was able to get a high-quality device at a much lower price than buying brand new, which made it totally worth it. The setup process was easy, and I haven’t had any issues with connectivity, camera quality, or apps. Overall, I’d definitely recommend buying from Back Market if you’re looking to save money without sacrificing quality. This was a great purchase, and I’d do it again.

I love my new iPhone 15 Pro Max and am amazed with the quality- it arrived in perfect condition. Looks like a brand new phone with no scratches or damage and has a battery health of 84%. I was initially looking for refurbished phones on Apple’s certified refurbished site and they have this same model (1TB storage) listed for around $1300 after taxes. Save your money and go with BackMarket!

Absolutely amazing, I was very skeptical about buying from this website. I DO NOT regret it. Phone came with 87% battery life (very very good) especially for a refurbished phone. I will be buying another iPhone from them! Also real quick, when I opened the package and inspected the phone, it was in really good condition. No scratches or dents. Looked brand NEW! Thank you so much for the pristine iPhone 15 plus !!!!!!

I was initially hesitant about buying a refurbished iPhone 16 Pro (512GB), after seeing mixed reviews online, then i figured buying a new one might be better. However, I decided to go with Back Market’s 'Premium' tier, and honestly I am blown away! The phone arrived in literal 'like-new' condition, zero battery cycles and 100% battery health!! Thank you BackMarket for the honest service and for exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend Backmarket if you're looking for quality without the brand-new price tag

So happy to have a 13 mini back. Same GB’s and even same color as I’d had before. It was a mistake to try the iPhone 17; too big and too heavy. Researched reliable refurbished iPhones, and Back Market came up as one. As recommended, I also checked out the individual vendor’s reviews; good as well, with years of experience. Ordering was easy; arrived on date stated, and the battery at 92%, with (I think) an Apple battery, because I didn’t get the warning about a non-Apple part (they stated may happen with non-Apple battery) upon turning it on. Battery lasts about 4.5 hours, way less than the 17 which lasts all day. However, I recalled that pretty much is standard with the 13 mini. It simply does not have the battery power of the bigger phones. I expected it to get a bit warm while transferring my data from the 17, yet it never got hot. My phone plan immediately recognized the 13 mini without me having to do anything on their site. I’ve had it about 2 weeks now; and so far, so good.

It is a literal brand new phone. Came with original Apple charger and original Apple SIM card remover and Apple papers and sticker. Battery health 100%. Would highly recommend BEST4TECH as a seller. It’s as good as Apple refurbished.

This is the second phone I’ve ordered from backmarket, I recommend them to EVERYONE! Not only are they reducing waste, but you can’t beat their prices either!! I ordered the iPhone 12 mini in “fair” condition, and it showed up looking brand new with only a few teeny scratches on the body! For $150 you seriously can’t beat it. I’ve never had issues with the longevity of their refurbished phones, my previous one lasted almost 5 years. The battery capacity on this one is 80% and it has no problem getting through the whole day off a full charge. Everything works like it’s supposed to with zero issues! I love this company, I love this phone, and I could NOT be happier :)

I wasn’t expecting everything so good! I was scared of a refurbished iPhone! However, this iPhone 13 Pro Max came with zero scratches or damages! The screen is perfect, everything is! And the battery came with a 100%

Hi, this is my second time ordering off of this app. This is not my first time buying refurbished phones or devices I decided to get something new and I was hearing that the iPhone 14 Pro Max still works pretty good in 2025 it came around 6 PM. Got here in two days. I love it. It’s much bigger than my 13 the maximum capacity came at 84% so it’s pretty good. I bought this in a good condition from looking at it. It has no scratches at all.!! will be buying again

My original phone fell, resulting in damage to the screen and internal antenna. Decided to buy this iPhone 7 until the new 18 comes out in September. Out of the box, even for a Fair phone, it almost flawless unless you examined it really close up. They also included a USB-C to lightning cable. Battery life was also 100% and lasts me way more than a day. Even though it's an older phone, I'd say it was worth the money as a good back up.

first time buying from back market, they done perfectly great. I buy my iphone 12 128gb fair condition with a battery health at 93% which is very good from back market, everything is move smoothly, thank you back market.

Phones working great. Battery life is much better than my iPhone 14 Pro. Plus this refurbished iPhone 12 is faster too. Will order again when the time comes!

I ordered the iPhone 15 Pro Max in premium condition on march 18, and paid for the $5 express shipping. I received it 2 days later, and although i ordered premium condition, i was still shocked at how high quality the phone was when i saw it. not a single scratch or mark on the front, back, or sides. battery health is at 100% with only 11 charge cycles. I basically got a brand new iPhone 15 Pro Max for $500 off!

I have had the phone for a week and I am VERY impressed. I ordered the iPhone 13 Product Red in excellent condition and it is absolutely flawless. Everything works as it should. It’s like I bought the phone brand new. I’m satisfied with the look, battery health at 98%, all original no work has been done to the device. Came with a screen protector installed and a charging cable. I will buy my phones from Back Market going forward. I am a very happy customer!!!

This is my second time buying iPhone 11. The first time I bought mine 2 years ago and it still works good. So when my son phone broke I decided to buy the same one just different color and smaller storage since he doesn’t take a lot of storage. He likes very little on his phone so this is perfect for him. It came way earlier than expected. The battery life is great. In the future I will be coming back here. The price is great. I got excellent condition and even came with screen protector on it which I wasn’t expecting.

This was my third purchase from another seller on this site, and even though there was a small shipping delay, the phone was absolutely worth the wait. I picked up an iPhone 16 Pro (256GB) in Desert Titanium in 'Excellent' condition, and I am still in shock—it is basically a brand-new device. The previous owner must have just bought it because it only has 6 battery cycles, 100% health, and a full Apple warranty through December 2026! It even triggered the official Apple offers for 3 months of Apple Music and Arcade. Despite the delay, the quality is unbelievable. This platform has been 3-for-3 for me!

For my daughter’s birthday, I purchased the iPhone 12 Pro. To my surprise, it arrived without any visible scratches. The battery percentage is currently at 100%, indicating that I have acquired a brand-new iPhone at an exceptional price. I have a history of purchasing items from the black market, and my previous experiences have been overwhelmingly positive. I anticipate returning to this source in the near future, perhaps within the next few years, to purchase another iPhone or similar products.

everything went fine I love the battery life now compared to my s22 and it's the same exact size I love everything about it the price was great the people were on point definitely would recommend this seller to anybody looking for a good phone

I am pleased with my purchase. Everything works just like new and the battery life came at 100% (see photo). This is my very first purchase here. And I can say it wont be my last. Highly recommended. 👌
