Tips
Anyone searching "Samsung Galaxy end of support" before buying wants a date. There is one, just not for the brand. It exists per model. A Galaxy S22 and a Galaxy S24 are years apart on software support, because the update clock starts at the model's launch, not when you place your order.
Tips
Buy a refurbished handset and the upsell follows within seconds: full protection, a few euros a month. So is phone insurance worth it for a refurbished phone? Or are you just paying for peace of mind? The answer sits in the purchase price, not the condition.
Tips
In late July 2026, word went round that almost nobody linked to used phones. Germany's Blue Angel for printers (DE-UZ 219) will cover used devices. The Umweltzeichen jury decided it in June 2026, per wll.news on 30.07.2026. Printers, then. Not phones or laptops yet.
Tips
Ten days. That's how narrow the window is where your phone loses the most money. Not from scratches, not from a tired battery. Just from the date.
Tips
The screen flickers, the phone is eleven months old, and the order confirmation? Buried somewhere in your inbox. Warranty without a receipt stops being hypothetical at that exact moment, and if you also need the right order to file a complaint, the proof of purchase is the first thing you'll need...
Tips
A first phone lives a rough life. School bag, playground, bus seat, lent to a friend, retrieved two days later. So when you shop for a refurbished phone for kids, the question is rarely which camera wins. It's the more boring one: what happens when the thing breaks?
Tips
You picked the refurbished device because it's cheaper. Then checkout offers you "from €76.50 a month". Sounds harmless.
Tips
Two words, one long-running mix-up. Product pages treat refurbished warranty and statutory warranty as the same thing, and under German law they honestly could not be further apart. One is a promise somebody chose to make. The other is a right you already have, and no seller gets to quietly take...
Tips
The refurbished iPhone arrives, and the invoice next to it shows one total. No 19 % line, no tax figure. Looks like somebody messed up.
Tips
Nearly every refurbished smartphone listing carries an IP68 line. It still doesn't tell you whether a phone is waterproof after repair. It repeats the manufacturer's figure for the model when new. About the unit you're about to buy, it says nothing.
Tips
The phone arrives, the price was good, then the thought lands: is that display original, or is it a copy panel? On a refurbished iPhone you can settle that in minutes, with no tools.
Tips
The box is open and the screen flickers. A refurbished device arrived defective, and you lose money in the first ten minutes: straight to the post office, before the route is decided.
