Best used unlocked Samsung Galaxy phones
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 9, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Galaxy S23 (Renewed) — the compact flagship that still feels current: fast chip, bright screen, and a renewed unit comes tested with a guarantee. A Fair-graded refurb is the cheapest way in; expect visible wear.
Who each suits:
- Galaxy S23+ / S23 Plus — same phone, bigger screen and battery; best for heavy video and gaming.
- Galaxy S24 — newest compact of the trio, so the longest software-update runway.
- Galaxy S22 / S21 FE — tightest budget; still capable, shorter update life.
- Galaxy S24 Ultra / S25 Ultra — the camera and S Pen choice.
- Galaxy Z Flip5 — a folder for pocketability.
- Galaxy A17 5G — basics only, no frills.
Grade matters more than age: check battery health and that it's genuinely unlocked.
