With rising costs, refurbished technology is more popular than ever, and with Black Friday drawing ever closer, mobile network giffgaff has some particularly impressive savings on its refurbished smartphone collection. You might think that a refurbished phone is simply a tired second-hand phone, but there’s much more to it than that – especially at giffgaff. You see, giffgaff refurbs go through an extensive 30-point health check to check that everything is tip-top and working as expected, including a full data wipe and unlocking process. The condition of the phone is then rated from ‘Good’ to ‘Like New’. If a phone is marked as ‘Good’, it might have a few nicks on the body or screen, while a phone rated as ‘Like New’ is practically the same as a brand-new model. There’s also between 12 and 24 months of warranty protection for added peace of mind, dependent on the condition of the phone you go for. That’s longer than what some manufacturers and stores offer! With all that in mind, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that refurbished phones make up the majority of giffgaff’s phone sales in 2022 – and it’s even more tempting with Black Friday bargains to be had. That starts with Samsung’s Galaxy S20+ 5G, with a £40 discount on its regular refurb price bringing the cost down to as little as £259 in ‘good’ condition. That’s not a bad price for a smartphone with a stunning 6.7in QHD+ 120Hz display, a capable triple rear camera setup comprising of a 12Mp wide, 12Mp ultrawide and 64Mp telephoto lenses and a 4,500mAh battery that’ll keep you going all day.
