How you can get the best phones for less with refurbished tech

By eBay

Sponsored: Here’s a way to get the best deals out there with refurbished tech

In partnership with eBay  (opens in new tab)

Phones are expensive. These little gadgets come packed with features, have luscious designs and are made of lots of really rare materials, but that doesn’t mean a new phone has to cost you lots of money.

Refurbished tech is the ultimate way to get yourself a dazzling smartphone.

eBay’s Refurbished Tech hub (opens in new tab) offers items that have had damaged packaging, been returned unused or have even just been part of over-ordered stock that a store can no longer sell for full price. Each device has been stringently tested and sold by the website at drastically cut prices. It means you can get hefty discounts on some of the best tech on the market – you could save up to 35% off the RRP of some of the best phones.

For example, you can get the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge – one of the best phones of 2016 – for only £379.95. We’ve seen the phone still on sale for over £500 from some places, so that’s a huge saving and you can trust eBay Refurbished Tech hub (opens in new tab) to be providing you with a great refurbished product.

The Galaxy S7 Edge offers you dual-curved screens, which makes this look unlike any other phone on the market. It’s easy to hold in the hand and will be sure to make some great talking points with your friends and family. There’s also a 12-megapixel rear camera, great battery life and 32GB of storage as standard.

Every refurbished purchase from eBay’s Refurbished Tech hub (opens in new tab) offers a 12 month warranty too, which is something you can’t always expect even if you’re buying a product brand new. It means if your phone starts messing up, you can just send it back to eBay to get a replacement or a refund. 

It offers peace of mind that your phone won’t be in danger.

The great LG G5, for example, is also up for sale on eBay’s Refurbished Tech hub (opens in new tab). You’ll find it for only £319.99, which is much cheaper than the £500 recommended retail price for one of the best flagship phones.

It comes with a 16-megapixel rear camera, 5.3-inch QHD resolution screen and a powerful processor paired with 4GB of RAM. That’s not even to mention you get a modular design, so you can swap out the bottom of this phone to get added features such as more battery or better audio.

eBay’s Refurbished Tech hub (opens in new tab) also offers up Apple products too, with even the iPhone 7 Plus getting a discount on the refurbished store. Apple sells the 32GB version of the iPhone 7 Plus for £719, from the eBay refurbished store offers it for only £683.05. 

That’s a saving of over £35 for the best iPhone available right now offering a 5.5-inch display, a waterproof design and a brilliant dual-lens camera.

Perhaps the newest phone on the store, the Sony Xperia XZ is also available refurbished through eBay’s Refurbished Tech hub (opens in new tab) and gives you one of the cheapest ways of picking up Sony’s latest flagship handset.

It offers Sony’s traditional phone design with a great display, phenomenal 23-megapixel rear camera and a fingerprint sensor on the side of the phone. If you own a PS4, you can even stream your games directly to your phone over the same Wi-Fi connection through PS4 Remote Play.

This only costs £474.95, if you buy it refurbished from eBay’s Refurbished Tech hub (opens in new tab).

If you’re looking for a truly cheap phone, the Moto G (2016) is even less on eBay’s Refurbished Tech hub (opens in new tab). It’s 33% less in fact, giving you a great saving at £99.99. We love this phone and if you’re looking for a device at the cheaper end of the market we couldn’t recommend it enough.

Not swung by the deals we’ve highlighted on this page? Be sure to head to eBay’s Refurbished Tech hub (opens in new tab) to check out some of the best phone deals on the web. Refurbished tech allows you to get some of the best phones on the market for much less than you’d pay on other websites or the high street.
