Whether you want a brand-new flagship, a wallet-friendly refurbished handset or a quick trade-in, the mobile phone shops in Singapore below span dedicated multi-brand stores, an Apple reseller, refurbished-device specialists and a broadline electronics chain. Each runs its own sales, trade-in or delivery channels, so use the list as a shortlist and confirm current stock, condition grades, warranty and price directly with the retailer before you buy.

1. Challenger

Challenger is one of Singapore's longest-running IT and electronics retailers, and its smartphones and tablets range covers new Android handsets and iPhones alongside accessories such as cases, chargers, cables and audio. It operates as a broadline tech store with outlets in malls across the island plus an online shop, so it suits buyers who want a phone and its accessories, or a laptop, in one trip. As a general electronics chain rather than a phone specialist, its handset range can vary by store.

2. iStudio

iStudio is an Apple Premium Reseller in Singapore, operated by Elush Retail Group, carrying the current iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and AirPods line-up together with first-party and third-party accessories. It runs stores in shopping malls across the island and at Changi Airport, and its site lists trade-in and AppleCare options. A sensible choice if you specifically want new Apple hardware with in-person setup help rather than a multi-brand shop.

3. Mister Mobile

Mister Mobile is a multi-brand retailer selling brand-new and refurbished phones, tablets, smartwatches and earbuds, and it runs a trade-in and buyback programme with an online price estimator. The company operates a network of neighbourhood branches across Singapore's HDB towns, so buying, selling or upgrading can usually be done close to home. It says its refurbished devices are inspected and come with a warranty, which is worth confirming in store.

4. MobileRelation

MobileRelation stocks new and used smartphones, tablets and MacBooks plus accessories, and offers trade-in and device buyback. It lists several collection points around the island, including Tanjong Pagar, Ang Mo Kio, Tampines, Bartley, Jurong East and Aljunied, alongside islandwide delivery, which is handy if you want to inspect a used device before paying. It also handles repairs and protection plans in-house.

5. Red White Mobile

Red White Mobile is a phone shop at North Bridge Centre in Bugis dealing in new and pre-owned handsets from brands such as Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo and Honor, plus accessories. It buys and trades in used phones and says a sale can be completed quickly in store. Being a single storefront, it is easy to visit in person to weigh a new phone against a pre-owned one before deciding.

6. WhyMobile

WhyMobile, at Far East Plaza on Scotts Road near Orchard, sells new and refurbished phones from brands like Apple, Samsung, Google, Xiaomi and Oppo, along with cables, chargers, cases and audio accessories. It offers trade-in and sell-back on used and new devices and says it has operated since 2004. The Orchard-fringe location makes it convenient to walk in, handle a device and compare models before buying.

7. Mobile Square

Mobile Square is a long-running handphone retailer whose site carries a 'since 2001' tagline, selling new and certified pre-owned phones, tablets, smartwatches, accessories and telco top-up plans. It operates mainly as an online store with delivery across Singapore, so it suits buyers comfortable ordering without a showroom visit. Check the stated condition grade and warranty on any used device before checkout.

8. OnePhone

OnePhone is a mobile retailer in the Race Course Road area near Little India, selling new and used phones and tablets plus accessories such as chargers, power banks and screen protectors. Its own site says the business was established in 2012. A compact, single-location shop that is straightforward to visit for a particular handset or a quick accessory.

9. Reebelo

Reebelo is a Singapore-registered online marketplace for certified refurbished electronics, strong on smartphones, iPhone and Samsung in particular, alongside tablets, laptops and wearables. Devices are graded by cosmetic condition and, the company says, pass a multi-point inspection and carry a warranty, and there is a channel to sell or trade in an old device. As an online-only operation it ships islandwide rather than running a storefront, so you buy on the listed grade rather than by handling the phone.

10. CompAsia

CompAsia is an online retailer of refurbished and second-hand phones, tablets, smartwatches and Macs that also runs trade-in and buyback. It states its devices pass a multi-step quality check, are graded by condition and come with a warranty, with extended-warranty options offered on its site. Useful for buying a checked pre-owned device, or trading in an old one for credit, without visiting a shop.

How to choose

  • Decide between new, refurbished or used first: a refurbished or pre-owned handset costs less, but check the condition grade, battery health and exactly what warranty is included.
  • Confirm the phone is a Singapore set with local warranty and the correct bands and plug, rather than a cheaper parallel-import or export set, and get the warranty terms in writing.
  • If you are trading in, compare buyback quotes from more than one shop and check whether the offered price still holds after the device is inspected in person.
  • Check the total price including any accessories, protection plan or instalment interest, and make sure the model, storage and colour on the receipt match what you agreed.
  • For a physical shop, verify the current address and opening hours before travelling; for an online-only seller, confirm delivery, returns and how a warranty claim would be handled.
