Smarter tech choices, real impact, and the rise of a values-driven generation.
A growing number of young South Africans are challenging the status quo of smartphone ownership. For Gen Z, the shift from buying new to choosing refurbished is about more than saving money — it’s a statement. One of values. One of impact. And above all, one of smarter decision-making.
At Refreshed Like New, we’ve seen this shift up close. We’re not just meeting the demand — we’re helping lead a movement.
Affordability Without Compromise
Premium smartphones can easily exceed R20,000 today. For students, entrepreneurs, and early-career professionals, that price tag simply isn’t realistic. But compromising on quality isn’t an option either.
That’s where refurbished devices come in — and where we come in.
At Refreshed Like New, every device is:
- 100% battery health certified
- Carefully tested with original parts
- Backed by a 12-month warranty
- Available with accessories like screen protectors and covers
You get flagship performance for nearly half the price — without the financial pressure.
This Generation Buys With Purpose
Gen Z is the most environmentally aware generation to date. Their tech buying habits reflect it.
By choosing refurbished over new, they’re actively:
- Reducing global e-waste (which now exceeds 50 million tons annually)
- Supporting the circular economy
- Lowering the carbon footprint of new device production
At Refreshed Like New, sustainability isn’t a buzzword. It’s at the heart of everything we do.
Tech-Savvy, Value-Driven
Gen Z knows that the innovation gap between new phone models is getting smaller. Minor upgrades don’t justify major price hikes.
Refurbished phones just 1–2 generations back still offer:
- Excellent cameras
- Fast processors
- Sleek designs
- Long-term software compatibility
They’re choosing function over flash — and getting real value.
We’re Redefining Refurbished in South Africa
The old stigma around “refurbished” is fading — and we’re helping erase it completely. At Refreshed Like New, we’ve built our brand on:
- Trust and transparency
- Quality you can count on
- Honest support from a local team
- Clear grading and condition disclosure
We’re not selling second-hand phones. We’re delivering first-rate experiences at fair prices.
Leading a New Generation of Tech Buyers
Gen Z is setting the tone for the future of tech ownership in South Africa. And we’re proud to be right there with them — enabling smart, sustainable, and inclusive access to premium devices.
If you're ready to join the movement — as a buyer, a partner, or a business — let’s connect. Together, we’re reshaping the future of technology ownership.
