The best used smartphones are a great way to save money, and in this economy ever penny you save is a win. A shiny new flagship might be a satisfying purchase, but the used market helps you save money without sacrificing too much functionality and performance.
The best phones always get a generous price cut when their successors launch, and those are great places to start. And with some people religiously upgrading year after year, it's easy to pick up a gently-used handset for a much more affordable price. Whether you want a shiny iPhone, a Samsung, or something else entirely, these are all the very best used smartphones you can buy right now.
Both phones still have the A15 Bionic chipset, with the iPhone 14 Pro range getting exclusive use of the more powerful A16 Bionic. The iPhone 14 does get an extra core in the GPU, mind, but the difference isn't as stark. Both phones also come with the same display and dimensions, though the iPhone 13 has a one hour shorter battery life and no autofocus on the front-facing camera.
The iPhone SE 2020 is already a great value phone, but picking up a used model means you can save even more on Apple's budget iPhone. Your savings will be limited, considering the phone's $399 MSRP, but now that the iPhone SE 2022 is here the second generation model's price is going down.
OnePlus produces some fantastic phones, though they certainly release a lot of them. Which is why picking up last year's OnePlus 10 Pro is always worth thinking about. With the OnePlus 11 on sale, you can expect to find the previous device for a lot less than it would have cost you this time last year.
Now that the Pixel 6a is here you're going to start seeing the Google Pixel 5a drop in price. So $449 was a little too pricey for you, then you'll want to keep your eyes peeled. We dubbed the Pixel 5a the "king of affordable phones" thanks to it's impressive feature set, wrapped up in a low-priced package.
Deciding which used smartphone to buy is a bit harder than choosing a new phone, for obvious reasons. Aside from the fact you want to ensure the particular device you're looking at is in acceptable condition, you also have to consider whether or not the model you're interested in will be up to the task to handle what you expect to throw at it.
Flagship smartphones are more powerful than many of us realize, and so even if you buy a device that's two years old, you're still likely to get a phone that's more than powerful enough to handle everyday tasks. From browsing social media apps and websites, to GPS navigation, video and music streaming and snapping photos.
We use a light meter to ascertain display quality data, like brightness and color accuracy, and our proprietary battery test determines longevity on a charge by continuously loading live webpages over a 4G or 5G network. We set each phone to 150 nits of screen brightness and try to use T-Mobile's network each time in order to achieve comparable results across phones.

Depending on frame rate, you can record video at 8K, 4K, 1080p, or 720p resolutions. In other words, this phone is a powerhouse for the creative set.
Kids punish their phones. We know this, and it's why a Samsung Galaxy A51 5G in Good Refurbished condition makes a lot of sense. The phone has plenty going for it: a 6.5-inch AMOLED screen, 128GB storage out of the box, four rear cameras, a 32MP front camera, and 5G connectivity. Good Refurbished condition phones will have noticeable blemishes, but these are cosmetic and do not affect functionality. The benefit for you is two-fold: a lower price and no worries about scratching or scuffing a brand-new phone.
