We bought $650 of used phones. Here’s what arrived.

We bought five used phones, of varying conditions, to see what sort of quality you can get when you don’t splash out on a flagship. Results were…mixed.

    I honestly forgot how every Android had the old USB ports lol I kind of miss this era of smart phones just for how unique each one tried to be

    Battery life is definitely going to be an issue with buying used phones. It seems as though the batteries are only designed to last two or three years before starting to have issues. It is always a gamble buying used. I think I would rather have a lower tier new phone then a higher tier Yukon.

    Top camera angle. Don’t wanna see faces and all unnecessary things. Just focus on the subject.

    I feel like buying some old phones just because they were iconic like the HTC one m7

    The best used phones are iPhones, Pixel phones and OnePlus. They are the only ones that are still absolutely smooth to use.
    I have the original, launch day OnePlus One. It still works as smoothly as my Pixel 2 XL, which is also a great option.

      Samsung actually has improved since 2015. My daily driver, Note 5 is a proven and reliable performer. Also, I think that’s the case for most Android phones of late 2014, at least for flagships. Android has certainly improved a lot in the past years.

    I know someone still rocking a Samsung Galaxy S III (released in 2012). I have the SIM card removed from a Moto G (Gen 2) from 2014 and it is used daily as a mini Android tablet.

    Why would you pay so much for these phones lol

  24. Finnian Buckley

    Hey, anyone know where he bought these phone?

    some phones are just so good these days you dont need to replace them all the time. i make sure to hand my iphones down to people who carry on using them for years

    If the Samsung was described as Grade A, it should’ve included the box.
    iPhone was good for Grade B. Moto Grade B looks okay. Samsung S8 looked like a Grade B. iPhone battery replacement I believe is £45. Shame about shut down on Moto. Can you not return?

    I highly recommend the Oki 900

    I honestly don’t believe the capacity percentage on the iPhones. I’ve got the SE with 93% that just shuts itself down unexpectedly, like your iPhone 6. And I’ve got my daily driver, the Xs, with 88%, which shows no perceivable deterioration to when it was new. As a user, what am I supposed to make of that..?

  29. thesuremen

    May 6, 2020 at 6:38 pm

    does any of them still get security & newer updates?

  30. Vedraj r.m

    May 6, 2020 at 9:37 pm

    I’ve had similar problems with a Moto phone from that time
    It’s a battery issue,
    You can fine replacement batteries for a very cheap price though
