Good range of decently priced refurbished phones. Ours arrived quickly, iphone 13, in excellent condition, great battery life, and works exactly as expected. Excellent value for money, and great experience.
Alex O'Connell
This was my first experience buying a reburbished phone and I was a little sceptical whether I would get a knock off or the real deal, happy to report it is indeed the real deal and im So glad I went with Mobile Guru,
Tony Martin
I wanted a pocket size phone, which is hard to find. I bought a IPhone 6S plus from Mobile Guru that was in perfect condition. Excellent price plus a $30 discount. Fast Express post delivery. I couldn't be happier.
Russell Tubman
Like many other reviewers, I'm fairly new to refurbished phones. Picked up a Z Fold 3 in "as new" condition, and despite my skepticism, I couldn't fault the quality when it arrived only a couple of days after ordering.
Jonathan Hogue
After some initial disappointment with the assessed value of my device, we were able to arrive at an acceptable sale price through negotiation. I applaud Mobile Guru for being flexible and having good communication. In the end, I felt the deal was fair and payment was relatively fast. Highly recommended.
Nived Menon
Very good products at very reasonable prices. Ordered premium quality refurbished phone which arrived in less than a week. Product is in perfect condition thus far. Very pleased with product and would definitely recommend for refurbished products.
Josiah Atkinson
The iPhone arrived in perfect condition with no faults, unlike other vendors I’ve tried to order from. The phone guaranteed 90% battery health but came with 100%, which is a big bonus.

I ordered from this place, and it was amazing. The Phone came in perfect condition, and it felt so smooth. It delivered very fast and I am really happy with the service. I will probably keep buying phones from Mobile Guru when I need a new phone, Recommend to you guys
Deb Roach (Debzillah)
I compared 4 different refurbished iPhone sites before buying an additional handset for the social media team. It was so easy to filter by the phone model I was after and see my different price options. Mobile Guru offered the best value for money,
Kaiya Jade
Couldn’t have been more impressed. Super satisfied with the range of products available. I’m really happy with the quality of my purchase, A premium refurbished iPhone 11 which works like brand-new!!!!
Michael Ye
I bought an iPhone 14 Pro Max and it arrived very quickly. Battery life is 97% and the quality is excellent. Very happy with the purchase and this is the third one from them.

Top Benefits of Buying a Refurbished Phone

When you buy refurbished phones, you gain several benefits. Some of the top benefits are:

  • Sustainable Solution: E-waste is becoming a huge problem. With millions of phones landing up in landfills every year, refurb phones can make a huge difference. You’re doing your bit for the environment while enjoying discounted prices.
  • Pocket Friendly: Speaking of savings, new mobile phones are getting very expensive. Some models will set you back hundreds or even thousands of dollars. In comparison, it’s way cheaper to buy a reconditioned phone.
  • Frequent Upgrades: It’s always a nice feeling to upgrade your device. If you’re a tech enthusiast who can’t stay away from the latest models, we have a treat for you. Our specially curated selection of refurbished phones will have you all giddy. What’s more, they are affordable, allowing you to upgrade frequently without hurting your pocket.
  • Guaranteed Quality: All our refurbished phones for sale come with a warranty. They undergo our 72-point check to ensure each part is up to standard. Unlike other second-hand phones on the market, our refurbished phones provide reliable quality and peace of mind. You don't have to gamble on performance when you can get guaranteed quality and great deals with us.
  • Availability: Finding the right phone can be challenging, especially if the model you want is discontinued. At Mobile Guru, we offer a wide range of refurbished phones, including older models and hard-to-find specifications. As one of the leading dealers of refurbished phones in Australia, we ensure you get the exact model you need.

How to Choose the Ideal Refurbished Phone?

We understand that there are many sellers of reconditioned phones. So, how do you make a decision on which store or phone is right for you? Well, consider the following points:

  • Choose a Reliable Seller: Before buying refurbished second-hand mobile phones, do your research. Always pick a dealer that is trustworthy and delivers on promises. One way to do this is by checking online reviews or asking friends and family if they’ve used their services before.
  • Check Warranty and Return Policies: You also want to have a clear idea of warranty and return policies. In case anything happens, you don’t want to be stuck with a non-functional device. This is why Mobile Guru has a clear-cut view of warranties and returns. Our warranty starts at 6 months and goes all the way up to 24 months. Additionally, we also have a 14-day return period.
  • Check Battery Life: When it comes to the devices themselves, battery life is a major factor. Make sure to ask about the battery's condition to get a clear understanding on the performance of the used phone you wish to buy. The good news is that all refurbished used phones for sale at our store have a minimum battery health of 80%.
  • Choose an Unlocked Phone: There’s not much you can do with a locked refurb phone. You can’t use a carrier of your choice and, ultimately, it is a bad investment. Hence, only buy unlocked refurbished phones that gives you freedom to choose a carrier you have.
  • Inspect the Phone’s Condition: It’s very important to check the overall condition of the refurbished handset. If you’re buying online, this is where your trust in the dealer pays off. Generally, most sellers - us included - have different categories to classify reconditioned second-hand phones in Australia. Our grading system goes like this: Brand New > Premium > Amazing as New > Ex Demo > Used.
  • Verify the Phone's History: Ask about the refurbished phone’s history before making a purchase. Where was it sourced from? Are there any signs of previous damage or software troubles? Have any repairs been done in the past? These make a huge difference.
  • Evaluate Software Status: You can’t ignore software issues if you’re looking to buy refurbished mobiles. Make sure that everything is running normally without any glitches. When you buy from us, we guarantee that every device is 100% functional - both software and hardware.

Comparing New Phones, Refurbished Phones, and Second-hand Phones

New phones are rolling off the line every day, making it prohibitively expensive to buy the latest models. If you have the money, buying a new device shouldn’t be a problem. However, for those with limited budgets, it’s not feasible. Hence, the growing popularity of second-hand and refurbished used phones in Australia.

What’s the difference between the latter, you say? Keep scrolling, we can help you with that, too.

Check out this comparison between new, refurbished and second-hand handsets.

  New Refurbished Second-hand
Price Expensive Slightly cheaper Cheapest of the three
Damage No damage to the body or screen; in pristine condition May have minor chips and scratches depending on the grade you buy Possibility of heavy damage, dents, and less functional - always check before buying
Style Sports the latest design from the manufacturer; has a “brand new” feel While a step down in terms of style statement, refurbished phones work just as well Sold as is, likely without any repairs, the previous owner’s choices affect user experience
Features Comes with up-to-date features - cosmetic or otherwise May not have the latest features but a good investment if the changes are minor Similar to refurbished tech in terms of specifications
Battery Life Brand-new phones offer maximum battery life and fast charging options Provides similar battery health to a new mobile phone May have hidden battery issues not disclosed by the seller
Performance Lightning-fast performance: thanks to a new chip and processor Comparable performance to a new phone since it’s reconditioned There’s no guarantee that second-hand phones will perform well
Accessories You get a complete set of accessories Depending on the seller, you may receive accessories with the refurbished handset or as a separate bundle The seller may or may not have all the accessories

Warranty Full manufacturer’s warranty, including repairs and even replacements Warranty will differ from one seller to the next & based on device conditions No warranties, hence, pose greater risks
Support Every support conceivable is provided The dealer may offer manufacturer-like support or limited support services Generally, don’t have any after-sales support; you’re on your own
Security Best-in-class security and anti-virus software Refurb phones have been checked to remove any ransomware or bugs that could compromise data No guarantees on security even after a factory reset
Availability Available in most stores once the company launches them Newer models are not available immediately upon release Possible to get your hands on it one week or months after the release
Patches and Updates Constant updates and security patches to protect the phone Most manufacturers provide updates for as long as 3 years Depending on the model, you may or may not receive manufacturer updates

How Do We Turn Second-Hand Phones to Refurb Phones?

Our products, whether they are refurbished Android phones, or any refurbished tech, undergo a comprehensive inspection. Our team is well aware of the doubts and questions people have about refurbished smartphones. Hence, we have a 72-point check in place to put your mind at ease.

As part of this process, the device is put through a series of functionality tests. It allows us to confirm everything is in good working order and 100% operational. Both software and hardware components are examined to uncover any hidden issues. We keep an eye out for the smallest signs of trouble so that the quality is never compromised.

Here’s a quick overview of what our 72-point check covers:

  • All mobile features
  • Software updates/patches
  • Key apps
  • Battery health
  • Display/touchscreen
  • Power button
  • Speakers

After our experts decide that the phone is functioning properly, it’s put up for sale. This stringent process is what helps us sell some of the best refurbished phones in Australia.
