I was hesitant on buying refurbished phone online but this website gave 30 days return which is good. Phone came very quickly via signature on delivery, I bought prestine condition and this is exactly what it looks like. No visible signs of scratch or damage anywhere, very happy with my purchase.

Close to perfection. The body may have tiny micro-scratches. For items with screens, the screen will be flawless.

Purple Ha. ! The Samsung S23 phone may be great, But the colour is NOT. It looks like a pale pink.As an Electrician i had had my eyes tested for colour recognition . Upon further investigation Samsung actually do not call it 'Purple', they call it 'Lavender'. Very disappointed as I was expecting a rich, deep dark colour not an insipid, pale pink colour. Help line were quick to respond, but requesting additional information i.e. IMEi Number. & extra photos.

Phone was received in perfect condition, as close to brand new as you could get. Extremely impressed with the free delivery time, ordered on a Tuesday night, arrived Thursday morning.

Much better than I expected, could not tell it was not brand new. Great way to save money on an upgraded phone.

The quality of the device is great, but the process of getting it was a little poor considering I was send a promo code of $15 for my first purchase only after i bought the device. Please apply my $15 discount using the promo code

Refurbished Samsung S23 Review The phone operates great, and delivery was quick. However, despite being listed as "Excellent" condition, there are three persistent smudge-like marks on the screen that reappear after cleaning. Some research leads me to believe it could be the oleophobic coating wearing off. I noticed this after setup, so I’m keeping the phone due to the hassle of having to return the phone, but i don't think the classification and pricing reflected the true condition.

The Galaxy S23 is Samsung’s 2023 flagship, and while it’s now a generation behind the latest, it still packs plenty of flagship-worthy features. With its handy size, advanced camera system, and fast processor, this phone keeps up with the pace of modern life—no wild claims, just reliable performance for people who want a stylish, powerful Android with a proven track record.

Key features:

Release Date: February 2023
Display: 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, FHD+ (2340 x 1080 px), 120Hz refresh rate
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy
Camera: Triple rear cameras: 50MP (wide) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 10MP (telephoto), 12MP front camera
Operating System: Ships with Android 13 (One UI 5.1)
Build: Gorilla Glass Victus 2 (front & back), Armor Aluminum frame
Connectivity: 5G compatible, Wi-Fi 6E support

Who is this for?

The Galaxy S23 is a solid pick for professionals and students who want premium features—like a fast display, excellent cameras, and dependable build quality—without chasing the absolutely latest tech. It’s smaller and easier to use one-handed than larger models like the S23 Ultra, while offering a better balance of usability and performance than older Samsung flagships. If you’re after a practical, durable, and modern Android, this one’s for you.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Compact flagship build—easy to use with one hand.	No expandable storage—microSD slot is nowhere to be found (again).
Fast, smooth display with 120Hz refresh rate.	Camera zoom isn’t as advanced as the Ultra models.
Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for improved durability.	Incremental updates over the S22—expect evolution, not revolution.

Why refurbished?

Choosing a refurbished Galaxy S23 supports tech that’s built to last and the planet, too—less waste, same modern features. Every pre-owned device on Back Market goes through rigorous testing and quality checks for peace of mind. Learn more about our quality standards.
