A refurbished, reconditioned, or pre-owned Samsung Galaxy from Loop Mobile is a smart alternative to buying new. These phones have had a previous life, but they’re carefully restored through a consistent refurbishment process designed to deliver a dependable, “just works” experience.
At Loop Mobile, “refurbished” means proven reliability and real-world value. We carry out 75 detailed checks that cover the things that matter most on a Galaxy: battery performance, charging, call quality, cameras, connectivity (including Wi-Fi and mobile data), speakers and microphones, buttons, biometrics where fitted (fingerprint/face unlock), and core sensors. We also factory reset each device and verify it’s ready to set up securely from scratch.
Choosing refurbished is also one of the simplest ways to cut the environmental impact of upgrading your phone. A typical smartphone’s footprint is largely driven by manufacturing, and extending the life of an existing device helps avoid much of that impact, while also reducing e-waste.
Start with size and long-term support, then look at camera hardware and the chipset. Galaxy S22 and S23 are the most pocket-friendly at 6.1″, while S21 and S24 sit at 6.2″. Camera-wise, S22 is the big jump (50MP main + proper 3× optical telephoto), S23 is the “everything feels faster and more efficient” upgrade, and S24 is the most future-proof thanks to Samsung’s longer update commitment and newer Galaxy AI-era features.

Specs can vary slightly by storage tier, market and carrier (especially the chipset on S21/S22/S24). If you want, I can also add a quick “who should buy which” block under the table (best value, best camera for the money, best for longevity, etc.).
If you’re weighing up new vs refurbished, these are the big practical wins:
Affordability
Get the Galaxy features you want for less, without paying the “brand new” premium.
Better value for everyday upgrades
Stretch your budget further for more storage, a better camera setup, or a higher-end model.
Lower environmental impact
Extending the life of a phone reduces e-waste and avoids much of the manufacturing footprint of a new device.
Peace of mind
A refurbished Galaxy should be tested, wiped, and backed by a proper warranty—so you’re not gambling on a random second-hand handset.
Here’s what “refurbished by Loop Mobile” looks like in practice:
Recovery
We source Samsung Galaxy phones from trusted partners and channels, then complete initial screening checks before anything enters our refurb flow.
Testing
We run structured diagnostics across 75 checks to assess battery performance, display quality, cameras, charging and data transfer, audio, connectivity, and core device functions.
Refurbishment
If anything doesn’t meet standard, our technicians repair or replace components where appropriate, then re-test to confirm performance.
Secure reset and setup readiness
Each device is wiped and factory reset, ready for the next owner to set up as new.
Grading
Every Galaxy is transparently graded based on cosmetic condition, so you can choose the balance of price vs appearance that suits you.
Complete transparency
We explain what our refurbishment includes, how our grading works, and what you can expect when your phone arrives. Where possible, we also share the estimated CO₂ saving per device to help you make a more informed choice.
Comprehensive warranty
Every refurbished Samsung Galaxy comes with a 12-month warranty, so you’re covered if something goes wrong.
Sustainable practices
From recovery to packaging, we aim to keep impact down by extending device lifespans and reducing unnecessary waste.
Choosing a refurbished Samsung Galaxy from Loop Mobile is straightforward, cost-effective, and more sustainable than buying new. Explore our Galaxy range, pick your preferred model and condition grade, and get a phone that’s been properly checked, properly reset, and properly backed by warranty.
