Back Market is offering a refurbished Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra at a steep discount, dropping the price from £1,448.62 to £379. The deal comes just a day before Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22, where the tech giant is expected to launch new foldable phones.
Key features of the refurbished model
The Galaxy S24 Ultra was the last model to feature a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen, allowing users to use the pen separately as a camera shutter button. The refurbished unit includes 256GB of storage and supports both physical and e-SIMs. It is offered in a blue colourway and labelled as 'fair condition', meaning it may show visible signs of use such as scratches or chips on the frame or micro scratches on the screen, but the software should operate normally.
Customer reviews and alternatives
The refurbished Galaxy S24 Ultra has earned a 4.5-star rating from over 5,000 reviews on Back Market. One customer wrote: "Phone is great, got in excellent condition, looked brand new no scuffs or scratches to indicate otherwise. Only issue I had was how it was shipped." Another said: "I got the ultra for £733 at excellent condition! Thought it was gonna come in another packaging because it was 'refurbished'. But when it arrived, it was brand new, in it's original box!"
However, some users reported battery issues. One customer noted: "The device looks decent overall but the battery life is really modest. I had an issue when tried to charge the phone. It stopped charging at 58% for no reason." Another added: "Device is okay except the battery life isn't great. 50% gone by 5pm after charging at night and no heavy use."
For those seeking a new phone, the Samsung Galaxy A16 is discounted on Amazon from £139 to £119.99, featuring 128GB storage, a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, and a three-year warranty. Alternatively, a refurbished iPhone 15 from Wowcher is available for £405, down from £515, in Grade B 'Good' condition.
