A refurbished phone isn't simply a used device sold as-is. It's a smartphone that has been rigorously inspected, tested, and restored by qualified technicians before being offered for sale.
At SecondCell, every refurbished phone goes through our 360 Certification process: complete inspection of internal components, verification of touchscreen functionality, cameras, speakers, connectivity, and battery.
Devices are then classified according to a transparent cosmetic grade that reflects the phone's visual condition (micro-scratches, slight wear marks, or near-new condition).
Unlike a private sale where the device's history remains unknown, a certified refurbished phone offers you complete traceability and the assurance of a functional, warrantied product ready to use.
Warranty, returns, unlocking, and reliability
Buy your refurbished phone with complete peace of mind thanks to certified devices that are unlocked and covered by a warranty ensuring reliability, security, and durability.
1-year warranty against defects — the longest in the Canadian refurbished industry, included on all our refurbished phones.

How to choose your refurbished phone
All models mentioned are available above based on real-time inventory. Use the filters to quickly find the refurbished phone that matches your needs and budget.
Refurbished iPhone
Refurbished iPhones are the ideal choice if you're already in the Apple ecosystem (Mac, iPad, Apple Watch). Apple offers 5 to 7 years of iOS updates, significantly extending the useful life of the device. The iPhone 13, 14, and 15 models offer excellent value on the Canadian refurbished market.
Refurbished Samsung Galaxy
Used Samsung Galaxy phones combine innovation and design with exceptional AMOLED displays and seamless Galaxy ecosystem integration. The Galaxy S and Note series deliver flagship performance, while the Galaxy A lineup remains highly affordable for tight budgets.
Refurbished Google Pixel
Refurbished Google Pixels offer a pure Android experience, fast updates, and photography performance recognized as among the best on the market thanks to Google's image processing. Excellent choice for photo enthusiasts and anyone who wants Android without overlays.
Cheap refurbished Android
If you're looking for a reliable phone on a budget, our Android and Motorola selection offers models starting at CA$99, perfect for a first phone, a teen's phone, or a replacement device.
Storage (64 / 128 / 256 / 512 GB)
64 GB is suitable if you primarily use basic apps and cloud storage. 128 GB is the balanced choice for most users. 256 GB and 512 GB are for those who store many photos, videos, or games directly on the device.
Fair prices and smart solutions
At SecondCell, every refurbished phone is offered at a fair price, established according to specific criteria: brand, model, storage capacity, cosmetic grade, and inventory availability.
As a specialized Canadian retailer, we continuously adjust our prices to offer among the most competitive conditions in Canada, while maintaining the same quality standards. All our refurbished phones are certified, backed by a 1-year warranty, and eligible for a free 30-day exchange. Our price protection policy automatically applies for 7 days if you find the same model cheaper elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a refurbished phone and a used phone?
A refurbished phone has been tested, repaired if necessary, and certified by our technicians. It includes a 1-year warranty and a 30-day exchange. A used phone (Marketplace, Kijiji, classifieds) is sold as-is, with no inspection, no warranty, and no recourse if a problem arises.
Are refurbished phones reliable?
Yes, absolutely. Our refurbished phones offer the same performance as a new device. Every phone is meticulously tested to ensure the screen, cameras, battery, and all components work properly. The 1-year warranty protects you against any defect.
What warranty is offered on SecondCell refurbished phones?
All our refurbished phones include a 1-year warranty against defects, a 30-day free exchange period, and 7-day price protection.
Are SecondCell refurbished phones unlocked?
Yes, all our refurbished phones are unlocked and compatible with all Canadian carriers: Bell, Rogers, Telus, Vidéotron, Freedom Mobile, Koodo, Fido, Fizz, Public Mobile. You keep your freedom to switch plans whenever you want.
Is it worth buying a refurbished phone rather than new?
Absolutely. You typically save 40 to 60% compared to new prices while getting the same performance and warranty. It's also an eco-friendly choice that extends the life of electronic devices (about 30 kg of CO₂ and 70 kg of raw materials saved per device).
