Best Refurbished Phones Under £200

Eight phones have at least one configuration you can buy today for £199.99 or less. The exact storage, condition and price sit on every card, so the price you see is a price you can actually select. Four of them are picked out below for different needs, with the reason and the trade-off attached. None of this is a ranking.

  • 1-year warranty
  • 14-day returns
  • Customer friendly service

Four picks, four different needs

Not a top four. Each one answers a question someone actually arrives with, and each carries the thing it gives up in return. Every price below is a configuration you can select today.

All phones under £200

Screen size is deliberately absent: the catalogue does not hold comparable dimensions for all eight phones yet, and a size filter built on partial data hides phones that do qualify.

Frequently Asked Questions

What refurbished phone can I get for under £200?

Today, eight: Pixel 7a, Galaxy A54 5G, Galaxy S21 Plus, Galaxy S22, iPhone 13 mini, Galaxy S23 FE, Pixel 8 and iPhone 13. Each has one configuration at £199.99 or less, named on its card.

Does under £200 include delivery?

Yes. Delivery is free and tracked across the UK, dispatched within one working day of payment clearing, so the price on the card is the price you pay.

Is an older flagship or a newer mid-range phone better?

Neither, as a rule. Compare camera and performance from verified model specifications for the exact phones you are choosing between. We do not claim that every older flagship beats every newer mid-range phone, or the reverse.

Will a refurbished phone under £200 still receive updates?

It varies by model and changes over time, so every phone here carries a dated statement taken from the manufacturer. A release year is not a support end date and we do not guess one from it.

Which storage options are available under £200?

The capacity that fits under £200 is named on every card, and the Storage filter shows what is available. Usable space is lower than the advertised figure, and storage cannot normally be expanded on iPhone, Pixel or most Galaxy models.

Does the condition grade include battery condition?

No. The grade describes approved cosmetic condition and nothing else. Battery information is reported per device, separately, with how it was measured.

Are GlobeMarket phones unlocked?

Every phone is checked for network lock before it is listed, and the result is stated per offer.

What warranty and returns apply?

12 months of warranty from the day your phone is delivered, covering faults rather than accidental damage, and 14 days to change your mind, with a separate route for a phone that arrives faulty. The details are in Returns and Refunds.

What should you compare at this budget?

Under £200 the trade-offs are sharper than anywhere else in the range. These six are where the money actually goes.

  • Software and security support

    This varies by model and changes over time, so every phone here carries a dated statement taken from the manufacturer. A release year is not a support end date and we do not guess one from it.

  • Battery information

    Reported per device, separately from the cosmetic grade. A Premium phone and a strong battery are two unrelated facts.

    How we report battery information

  • Storage

    The capacity that fits under £200 is named on every card. Usable space is lower than the advertised figure, and storage cannot normally be expanded on iPhone, Pixel or most Galaxy models.

  • Size and display

    Screen size and dimensions are on each product page. A compact phone and a large phone are not two points on one scale, which is why nothing here is ranked by capability.

  • Camera and performance

    Compared from verified model specifications for the exact phones you are choosing between. We do not claim that every older flagship beats every newer mid-range phone, or the reverse.

  • Condition

    The grade describes approved cosmetic condition and nothing else. It is not evidence of battery health or of how the phone works.

What does refurbished mean at GlobeMarket?

A refurbished phone is previously owned and prepared for resale through our approved testing and grading process. The detail lives on the pages below rather than being repeated here.

How are phones checked?

Every phone goes through our approved functional process before listing. The full checklist lives on its own page rather than being summarised differently on each collection.

How we test refurbished devices

What do the condition grades mean?

Cosmetic appearance only. They do not establish battery condition, software-support position or network status.

What battery information is available?

Reported per device, with how it was measured. Cosmetic grade tells you nothing about it.

How we report battery information

Network lock, account lock and data clearing

Every phone is erased, removed from the previous owner's account and checked for network lock before it is listed. The result is stated per offer.
