I bought a renewed iPhone 13 on Amazon recently and while it did come with a few dings and scratches, it was pretty much as described and I probably saved over $1000 over buying new. Glad to see you are doing these types of videos now.
Good tip on avoiding Facebook marketplace for used phone. Two of my friends had that same thing happen where the phone got blacklisted a month after buying it. Of course, the seller is no where to be seen.
This video really opened my eyes to the used phone market. As always a very informative video. Looking forward to seeing what happens with your Z FLIP 4.
I never considered purchasing a used phone then trading it in for the newer model, that's genuis! Lol hopefully the flip 6 will have some nice features and it'll be worth trading in. Thanks for going over your experience, I'll definitely consider this when purchasing my next phone, so far my note 9 has been going strong
I bought my wife a renewed iPhone 13 Pro Max 512GB and it arrived in like new condition. Not a single blemish or issue. I also bought a Meta Quest 2 renewed it also came like new. It even had the original packing material including the plastic film manufacturers put on the accessories. It was so new, I think they may have actually sent me a new one instead of a renewed one. Excellent experience both times.
I'll look into some super budget solutions for a future video so stay tuned! Thanks for your comment and support of my channel. Keep commenting on all my videos when they come out to be eligible for future giveaways.
That's a fantastic deal!!! I've always loved flip phones. They appeal to the Trekker in me! I just worry about the screen mid-section. Looks like yours has held up well. Thanks for the tips!
I agree the Trekkie factor is cool. I keep a Sony flip phone for its nostalgia. I know of two people who have this exact phone (This is hearsay information.) They claim that it does not easily fit in their pocket easily as the thickness doubles in size. The liken it to having a wallet in their pocket.
I've bought a "renewed/refurbished" iPhone 6 a number of years ago. Yes, it works, it worked during it's "service life." It continues to work to this day. It think this is a great video, it that it brings to light the value that can be had if one were to buy a "used/refurbished" product. You won't always win, (scammers are everywhere) but it's definitely worth a try. If your wins ( when purchasing used/refurbished) exceed your losses, then your doing good. Great video Albert.
Pretty nice smartphone, Albert! 😃 My last "premium" was the Note 4, years ago... 😬 But I really like the idea of getting an used one... Not bad at all! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks for this! Definitely would recommend you get a screen protector for Flip series phones. The display is soft and will start to get gouges and scratches if you swipe in the same areas over time.
Not gonna get a screen protector. So far I've not had any scratches and don't expect any in the future. Also not worth it given the price I paid for the phone. Thanks for your comment and support of my channel. Keep commenting on all my videos when they come out to be eligible for future giveaways.
Hahaha Nice was looking at one of those for more than a year just to have something to run with smaller but always bulked at price.. Running the Note 10+ primary with a Pixel 4 backup currently.. Seriously wish HTC would bring back the OG M-Series like the M8, M9, and HTC One. People are still running them and I have a couple survivors myself but never tried doing an android upgrade to see if I could get app support back. TIRED OF DISPOSABLE PHONES! Also very ticked off Samsung has goon the Apple route and essentially locked down their phones by simply creating the phones image to roll out and then removing the local admin (Root) account from the image. You use to be able to just crack the root account and own your device but now the only way you can truly own your Samsung phone is by doing a clean android install which they are also making more and more difficult.....

I like your idea of getting more trade in value than what you paid for it. Very smart!

Nice to see a lot of good options in the used market. They update their models so frquently now, it will only get better and better.

Didn't know about blacklist phones. Didn't know about trade in credit. Good to know. Bought a S21+ to run DEX. Using it as a spare PC.
Thanks for the video. I hate spending $1000 on a new phone every few years. Will have to look into this some more.

I'm on a fixed income and would love to find a phone under $200 with service. Is this possible in 2024?

I plan on buying a Z Flip 4 on back market this week when I get paid. Going to trade in my S20 and get 100 bucks back plus a $20 promo code.

Nice looking phone. In really 🎉good shape for a decent price. My daughter bought an Amazon refurbished phone. She's very happy with it. 😎
I'm gonna have to look into more renewed phones👀

Scammers everywhere on Facebook marketplace for sure. Backmarket and Amazon have good return policies so not gonna get scammed there.
Pretty nice smartphone, Albert! 😃
My last "premium" was the Note 4, years ago... 😬
But I really like the idea of getting an used one... Not bad at all!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice review on the phone. Thanks for all your hard work

Thanks Albert. Thanks for the review. Perfect timing I'm on the market for a used Smartphone. I looked at Amazon. Anybody buy one from Gazelle?
