Used and Second-Hand - Cheap Tablets

Second-hand doesn't mean second-rate. Our collection of second-hand and used tablets undergo a rigorous refurbishment process, followed by stringent testing and quality checks to ensure they meet our high standards. You can enjoy significant savings by opting for a reconditioned tablet. Rest assured, each of the reconditioned tablets we offer is fully functional and ready to deliver a reliable user experience.

Refurbished Tablets: Save Money while Saving the Planet

If you're looking for a device that offers near-new functionality at a fraction of the cost, consider our range of refurbished tablets. Each tablet undergoes a meticulous refurbishment process to restore it to top condition. From software checks to hardware repairs, our refurbished cheap tablets are designed to give you reliable performance without the hefty price tag.

A refurbished cheap tablet is a used or pre-owned device that has been fully restored to full working order, and the experience of using one should be no different than using a brand-new device. Not only are you saving money on a trustworthy device, you're preventing electronic waste and lowering your carbon footprint!

Our Cheap Tablets Conditions Explained

Devices listed as 'Brand New' are factory sealed and have never been used. A cheap tablet from The Big Phone Store can come in one of 5 cosmetic conditions:

Like New: These tablets are indistinguishable from brand new devices, with no marks anywhere on the device and in full working order.
Pristine: These are used devices in excellent condition, with any marks completely invisible unless held up-close, and in full working order.
Very Good: Tablets in this category have some visible scratches or scuffs but are still in full working order.
If a tablet is in Good cosmetic condition, expect moderate wear and tear, but rest assured, the device is working perfectly.

All of the above conditions only describe the cosmetic condition of the device, and have been certified using a rigorous 90-point check to be in full working order - with a battery health of over 85% its original capacity. They are also covered by a full 12-month warranty.

You may have noticed we only counted to 4 conditions, not 5. At The Big Phone Store, we care deeply about being the most environmentally friendly reseller that we can be, which means that we're eager to prevent a device from heading to landfill if somebody would still pay money for it. That's why if a device falls short of our strict standards, we don't immediately throw it away: we will list its condition as ‘Fair'. These tablets may have deep scratches or even cracks, and in some cases have a minor technical flaw - i.e. one that does not prevent you from using the device. These are the cheapest tablets of the lot, though, and we promise to cover any more serious faults under a 3-month limited warranty.
