Where can I buy a refurbished Samsung Galaxy A40?

When purchasing a refurbished Galaxy A40, or any refurbished device, it's important to use trusted providers. At WeSellTek, our customers can rest assured that we use a Samsung refurbishment process that is extensive and meticulous.

This means you will always receive a fully functioning Samsung Galaxy A40 with the latest technology, whether you opt for a brand new device or a slightly cheaper refurbished alternative.

Before purchasing your next Samsung, it’s important to understand the difference between refurbished and used devices. Refurbished smartphones follow a very comprehensive quality check process, whereas a used device will usually come directly from the previous owner. 

Used devices will often be sold through a reseller platform such as eBay or Facebook Marketplace and in most cases, have not received any official fixes, refurbishments, blacklist or finance checks.

A refurbished device, on the other hand, will have gone through a rigorous refurbishment process which assesses the condition of all areas within the device, including; aesthetic and performance criteria. Any credited refurbishment retailer will have taken the device through a specific refurbishment process to ensure the device is not only working but safe to use.

When purchasing refurbished phones of any type, we recommend sticking to trusted providers. At WeSellTek, all products come with a 12 month warranty and no hassle 14 day returns.

The first Samsung Galaxy A40s were only released in April 2019, meaning the devices are still relatively new which will help with overall condition. The Galaxy A series is often a great budget-friendly alternative to the S series that doesn’t compromise on features.

How much does a refurbished Samsung Galaxy A40 cost?

The price of a refurbished Samsung Galaxy A40 will depend on its overall cosmetic condition and age.

Right now, you can pick up a refurbished Samsung Galaxy A40 from only £99.95. This is for a standard model that’s in good condition, you can also pick up an A40 that’s in pristine condition from just £129.95. 

This is a huge saving when compared to their initial RRP of £220 and the A40’s advanced features means it could easily pass for a phone that costs twice the price 

All of our refurbished androids are in perfect working condition internally but may have some external, completely cosmetic defects caused by general wear and tear and previous use. This is what affects the final price as devices with slightly more cosmetic wear will be available at lower prices.

Our Samsung refurbishment process ensures the Samsung Galaxy A40 has been restored to at least a cosmetically fair condition, data wiped and fully functioning. We use the same refurbishment process for every device.

All of our refurbished Samsung A40s will be thoroughly tested, battery drain tested, cleaned and polished. Refurbished Samsung devices are available in fair, good, excellent or pristine condition with WeSellTek, each of which has a different price bracket.

For a detailed description of what to expect from each of our grading criteria, here is a detailed explanation.

Refurbished Samsung Galaxy A40 Performance

A common question from refurbished smartphone customers is whether their device will work just as well as a brand new device.

We can’t speak for other providers but at WeSellTek, we ensure all android devices complete an extensive refurbishment process which includes a thorough 70 point test, battery drain test, and full clean and polish. 

This means the performance of your refurbished device should be top-notch. It’s important to keep this in mind as most standard used Samsung phones will not go through any kind of testing procedure which could result in sub par performance.

Refurbished devices will be much more reliable than used devices as they have been subjected to a rigorous testing process.

Does a refurbished Samsung Galaxy A40 come with a new battery?

This depends on the results of our refurbishment process and whether a new battery is required. Our refurbishment process guarantees that you’ll receive a long-lasting battery for your A40 no matter what condition or options you select. It all depends on the quality and battery life before the refurbishment takes place.

If the battery performance of an A40 comes below 80% of its original capacity, then the battery will be replaced and you’ll have a brand new battery when you purchase the phone. However, if tests find the existing Samsung Galaxy A40 battery to be of a good working standard, then the battery won’t be replaced.
