A refurbished Galaxy S24 is a previously owned handset that’s been inspected, restored where needed, and securely reset so it works exactly as it should. You still get a fast flagship experience, excellent screens and capable cameras, but at a lower price than buying new. If you want a modern Samsung built for the latest Android and Galaxy AI-era features without paying new-launch pricing, the S24 range is one of the strongest refurbished picks.
Refurbished isn’t just a wipe and relist. A proper Galaxy S24 refurbishment includes a secure data wipe, full hardware and software diagnostics, and repair or part replacement where needed. Core functions are verified before the phone is reset and ready to set up as new, including:
Battery performance and charging (wired and wireless)
Display quality, brightness and touch accuracy
Cameras (photo and video), autofocus and stabilisation
Speakers, microphones and call quality
Buttons, vibration motor and biometric unlock
Connectivity: 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC payments
Sensors and general stability (heat, drops in signal, random restarts)
If you’re comparing the Samsung Galaxy S models, the “real” differences are usually about one-handed size, camera hardware (especially whether you get a true 3× optical telephoto), display behaviour (how low the refresh rate can drop), and how long the phone will keep receiving Android and security updates. The table below lines up the key specs for Galaxy S21, S22, S23 and S24 so you can quickly see what changed each generation.

Small spec differences can happen by storage tier, market and carrier. The listing should confirm the exact variant you’re buying. Still unsure, browse our full refurbished Samsung Galaxy range.
Grades describe how the phone looks, not how it works. Higher grades tend to have little to no visible wear, while lower grades may show more noticeable marks on the frame or back that won’t affect performance. The S24 Ultra’s titanium frame is tough, but it can still pick up fine scuffs over time; the S24 and S24+ use aluminium frames that often hide light wear well. Screens are checked for touch accuracy and display issues, and any notable scratches should be made clear on the listing.
Battery condition is one of the biggest differences between “random second-hand” and properly refurbished. A tested refurbished Galaxy S24 should meet a clear minimum standard for battery performance and charging reliability. Higher remaining capacity generally means longer between charges, but real-world stamina also depends on signal strength, screen brightness, refresh rate and camera use. If you’re aiming to keep the phone for several years or you’re often away from a charger, the battery information on the listing matters as much as storage size.
The Galaxy S24 line is positioned as a long-support Android flagship family, with extended update commitments from launch. That longer runway is a key reason S24 models make sense refurbished: you’re buying into years of security updates and new features, rather than a phone that’s nearing the end of support.
Galaxy S24 models are 5G-ready and straightforward to set up in the UK with a nano-SIM or eSIM. Many variants support dual SIM, which is useful for work and travel (for example, keeping a UK number alongside a roaming eSIM). If being fully unlocked matters, the listing should confirm it’s not restricted to a single network.
Pick your model based on size and camera needs, then use the listing details to dial in the grade, battery information, storage and colour. Once you’ve found a match, a case and screen protector often hide cosmetic wear and keep it protected from day one.
When you’re ready, select your Galaxy S24 model and condition grade and head to checkout. You’ll get a refurbished Samsung that’s been properly checked, securely reset, unlocked for UK use, and covered by a 12-month warranty with free 30-day returns.
