Buying a refurbished or pre-owned phone can cut the cost of a recent iPhone or Samsung, but the terms behind the discount differ from shop to shop. The seven Singapore sellers below range from multi-branch phone chains and Bugis shops to online refurbishers with island-wide delivery. Warranty length, condition grading and return rules are quoted as each shop's own pages state them, and they change often. Use the list to build a shortlist, compare how each seller grades cosmetic wear and battery health, and confirm the warranty and return wording on the exact listing before you pay. This page covers buying; trading in a phone is a separate question.

1. Mister Mobile

Mister Mobile is a multi-branch phone retailer whose site lists refurbished iPhones, Samsung and other Android phones, plus refurbished tablets, in dedicated sections alongside its new stock. Its refurbished listings can be filtered by condition, using the labels pristine, mint and satisfactory, which lets you trade cosmetic finish against budget. The site lists branches across the island, from Ang Mo Kio and Bedok to Bugis, Tampines and Jurong, and it also promotes trade-ins and a repair checker. That breadth suits shoppers who want to see a handset in person and handle repairs at the same counter. The homepage text does not spell out warranty terms, so read the warranty and return wording on the specific listing before you pay.

2. MobileRelation

MobileRelation sells new and pre-owned iPhones and Samsung phones, and its shop pages let you filter by device status to see which units are pre-owned. Its site says every device is professionally checked before sale and sorts pre-owned phones into four cosmetic tiers, running from like-new down to visibly worn but tested. It lists six outlets for collection plus islandwide delivery, so you can pick up locally or have a phone sent. One policy to read first: the site says it does not offer returns, but arranges an exchange for a manufacturing fault, and it states that warranty coverage varies by product, brand and condition. Check those terms against the exact unit you want.

3. 8th Ave Mobile

8th Ave Mobile runs a pre-owned line it calls Second Life, listed as used iPhones on its online store alongside new phones. Its product pages say each Second Life device is tested, graded and verified before listing, with three grades named Excellence, Good and Fair that carry stated minimum battery-health levels of 90, 85 and 80 percent. The page also describes a one-month store warranty or any remaining Apple warranty, whichever lasts longer, and calls the units original Singapore sets. The homepage says it has several outlets island-wide, and it also takes trade-ins. Ask which grade a listing is, and confirm battery health when you collect the phone, since the stated levels are minimums.

4. CompAsia

CompAsia is an online refurbished-electronics seller, and its Singapore site is headed 'Buy Apple & Samsung Second-Hand Devices'. Its collection pages say devices pass a 32-step quality check and come with a free three-month warranty, with options to extend to 12 or 24 months at extra cost. Listings carry a cosmetic grading filter, so you can pick the condition that suits your budget. The site publishes support by email and WhatsApp chat rather than a store address, and it offers free delivery and instalment options through Grab Pay or Atome. That makes it a fit for people comfortable buying a phone online who value a published warranty structure, but read the grading definitions before you order.

5. GetGreenr

GetGreenr is an online seller of refurbished phones, mainly iPhones and Samsung Galaxy models, and it positions itself around local Singapore sets. Its site says every iPhone it lists is fully functional with at least 80 percent battery health, includes a compatible charging cable, and carries a 12-month local warranty with 14-day returns. It describes a professional inspection process for devices labelled GetGreenr Guaranteed and says its stock comes from sellers it has vetted. Delivery within Singapore is described as free. There is no physical shop on the pages we read, only a contact form, so it suits buyers happy to order online and rely on the written warranty and returns terms.

6. myhalo

myhalo is a Singapore device retailer with two physical outlets, and its online shop carries a ReLoved range of certified pre-owned phones alongside Apple products and other gadgets. Its site says ReLoved devices go through 30 checks, are covered by a 30-day warranty and come in three condition tiers named Premium, Excellent and Value. It also advertises a 14-day exchange guarantee and a refund-the-difference promise if you find the same item cheaper. The ISO 9001:2015 certification it cites is its own claim, so treat it as that. Having shops in Bugis and Sim Lim Square means you can see a ReLoved phone before buying, which suits people who dislike buying blind online.

7. Red White Mobile

Red White Mobile is a phone shop in North Bridge Centre, and alongside new handsets its site has a section for used phones. The listing we read, a used Vivo model, states two weeks of warranty, while its new phones are shown with warranty periods that vary by brand. The shop publishes daily opening hours and a phone and WhatsApp number, and its blog was posting phone news in 2026, which points to an active business. Its used range appeared smaller than the specialist refurbishers above, so it suits shoppers who also want a new phone or an Android handset at a local shop. Confirm the exact warranty on the day you buy.

How to choose

  • Compare condition grades, not just prices. Each seller names its tiers differently, such as pristine, mint and satisfactory at one shop or Excellence, Good and Fair at another. Read what each label means, look at photos of the actual unit if offered, and remember a cheaper grade usually means visible scratches or dents rather than a different level of function.
  • Ask about battery health on the specific phone. Some sellers publish minimum battery-health levels for each grade, others state a single floor, and others say nothing. Battery wear is often the biggest hidden cost of a used phone, so ask for the percentage in writing or check it in the phone's settings when you collect it.
  • Read the warranty and return terms on the listing itself. Shops in this list describe warranties that run from a couple of weeks to a year, and at least one says it offers exchanges rather than returns. Find out who services the warranty, what it excludes, and whether remaining manufacturer cover transfers to you.
  • Check the phone is a Singapore set with working local network features. Ask whether it is an original local unit, whether it supports 5G on local networks, and whether it is free of locks. Imported sets can behave differently with local warranty claims, so confirm the model number and region before paying for any handset.
  • Decide between a shop visit and online delivery. A physical outlet lets you inspect the screen, test the camera and speakers, and check serial numbers before you pay, while online sellers can offer wider stock and published guarantees. Whichever you choose, keep the invoice and the phone's identifier details, and test everything within the return window.
