I've bought nothing but refurbished phones and tablets ever since my first of any of those a decade ago and they never broke.
You save so much money with a refurb, it's ridiculous.
Me too, always from the manufacturer or someone reputable like Backmarket. If you buy the higher priced ones, they've likely come from someone who buy a new phone every year; they're barely used and a third of the price
Was looking into buying Pixel from Backmarket as well! How was your experience with them and their phones?
I've had four now over five years with no probs. But like I said, buy the top end ones
Has anyone tried Swappa? Any luck there?
