Phone was practically new. Battery life a little used, but from a refurbished iPhone it’s expected. Everything works perfectly and swapping carriers was seamless. 8/10, I probably should have shelled a few more bucks for a newer phone, but this thing performs everything I need it to! Thank you BB for having what I need, when I need it.

The iPhone SE (2020) feels fast and smooth thanks to the A13 chip, and the display is excellent. The camera is good for everyday use, though not great in low light. Battery life is average but manageable. For the price, it’s a great compact iPhone that looks and works almost like new.

I needed a new cell phone but I did not want to pay the absolutely crazy prices for an IPhone. I checked Best Buy and found this fully refurbished IPhone at a great price. I went to the store and looked at the phone. It is was hard to tell it was a used phone. Best Buy did an excellent job on refurbishing the phone. I purchased the phone and when I got home I setup the phone, downloaded my contacts, data, apps, etc. and charged the battery. It charged to 100%. The phone has worked perfectly.

Pre-owned Apple iPhone SE (2020) phone works well and for a decent price. I have had it for only a short time. Approximately 1 month. All applications and functions work well. The phone was clean and looked brand new. There were no issues for my phone carrier provider adding this phone to my network.

I bought the Pre-Owned Excellent iPhone SE (2020) because I needed a reliable compact phone at a good price, and it exceeded every expectation. The condition truly feels like “excellent” — no scratches, battery health is strong, and the phone performs exactly like a brand-new model.
Performance is smooth for everyday use: messaging, browsing, FaceTime, and light photography. The camera is surprisingly sharp for a 2020 device, and the color accuracy is great in daylight. The display is crisp, bright, and easy to view outdoors, and the Touch ID response is instant.
Battery life easily lasts me through a full day of normal use. For such a small device, that’s impressive. The size is also perfect for one-handed use, pockets, and quick tasks on the go.
Overall, this is one of the best value purchases I’ve made. If you want an affordable, dependable iPhone that feels new without paying full price, this is a great choice.

A compact, easy-to-use iPhone with a classic design. Smooth performance, great camera, but average battery life. Perfect for one-handed use, but lacks a headphone jack.

good for playing games, i really like it. the only problem is that the battery runs down fast, and it only came with 83 percent. might not want to get if you dont want your battery to run down fast, other then that its ok.

Ordered online, picked it up when the store opened. Easy pick up service. Got home and charged the phone. Phone came in iPhone case with charger and cable. For a pre-owned phone, it had minimal scratches, perfectly working. Easy set up and has worked as intended. Definitely a better choice than paying $279 for a replacement screen module for an iPhone X from Apple.

I bought this iphone as replacement for one of my kids. In store pick up was super easy and the device was in great shape for being preowned. Phone functioned as expexted and didn’t break the bank.

I bought this because I needed an iphone for certain apps that are not available on android. This is perfect for that need. The phone I got is indeed in like-new condition.

This used Apple SE2nd Generation fulfilled all the needs that my damaged phone had provided. Some of the software appeared to be more current than what I had been using. Best Buy owes their thanks to a T-Mobile employee that recommended this used product to me as an economnical way of replacing a damaged phone.

We purchased a refurbished iPhone it looks brand & new operates perfectly fine …don’t hesitate to purchase. I would do it all over again with Best Buy.

Comparable to iPhone 8. Using iPhone 8 before, SE provides the same service. Battery had some glitches as it failed to last for many hours but it self resolved with total discharge and recharge. One other glitch is that it froze and no longer started with full battery. It started with charger on and never repeat the issue.
