One of the major advantages of buying a refurbished phone is you\u2019re more likely to get a newer model for less that\u2019s within your price range.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a stigma around refurbished tech that it means faulty, but that is far from the truth. If an item has been refurbished it means it has rather been previously used and has no faults or has been used and then repaired.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here at musicMagpie, we have a huge range of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/samsung-store\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">refurbished Samsung phones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to choose from, including Samsung Galaxy S Series, Samsung Galaxy Note models and Samsung Galaxy Fold devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only is going refurbished good for your pocket, but it\u2019s also a great way to keep products in use for longer and help reduce e-waste &#8211; it\u2019s smart for you, smart for the planet!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"Choose-a-smaller-storage-size\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Choose a smaller storage size<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/anh-nhat-whIInzoSukc-unsplash-3-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14557 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/anh-nhat-whIInzoSukc-unsplash-3-2.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy rear camera \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/anh-nhat-whIInzoSukc-unsplash-3-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/anh-nhat-whIInzoSukc-unsplash-3-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/anh-nhat-whIInzoSukc-unsplash-3-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prices of phones are affected by a number of factors and storage size is one of them. If you choose the largest storage size for your next phone, such as 512GB or 1TB and don\u2019t plan on using that much, then you\u2019re best downsizing to cut the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung phones typically have about three or four storage sizes, so choose wisely when you upgrade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"Sell-your-old-phone\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sell your old phone<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung phones can be expensive, especially if you want one of the newer models, such as the Galaxy S22 Ultra or a Samsung foldable phone. If you\u2019re planning on chucking your old phone into a drawer once you\u2019ve upgraded, sell it instead and put the extra cash towards your upgrade to make it cheaper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here at musicMagpie, we\u2019ll give you a FREE valuation when your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sell your phone<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with us and we\u2019ll lock in the best price for 21 days, so you have plenty of time to upgrade.
