Best Used Phones in Pakistan by Budget
A used flagship usually beats a new budget phone at the same price, as long as you check battery health, the IMEI and repair history. Used iPhones hold their value and get long iOS support, while used Galaxy S and Pixel phones give flagship cameras for less. Below are the models buyers commonly pick at each budget, followed by the checks that matter. Used prices change weekly, so compare live prices before you decide.

What is the best 2nd hand phone to buy?
The best second hand phone is a former flagship that still has software support left, a healthy battery and no hidden repairs. In Pakistan that usually means: - iPhones: hold their value, get about 5–7 years of iOS updates, and are easy to resell - Samsung Galaxy S: excellent screens and cameras, and newer models have longer update promises - Google Pixel: the best camera for the money and clean software, but check the model's update end date
Avoid phones that no longer get security updates, phones with replaced 'unknown' screens and anything still locked to an account. Our iPhones are slightly used Non PTA phones with 100% battery health, while our Android phones are Non Custom box pack, so the cards below show both.
Best used phone under 20000 and under 30000 in Pakistan
At these budgets, keep expectations realistic. Under 20,000 the used market is mostly older Galaxy A and Redmi Note models, such as the Galaxy A14 or Redmi Note 12. They are fine for WhatsApp, YouTube and calls. Check that the battery has not been replaced with a cheap one.
Under 30,000, a used iPhone 11 becomes possible. It still runs current iOS, has a good camera and resells well, but check battery health because many units are below 85%. A new Redmi Note 13 or Galaxy A15 box pack is the alternative if you want a warranty and a fresh battery, see best mobile under 30000 (Best Mobile Under 30000 in Pakistan).
Best used phone under 50000 in Pakistan
This is where used phones become really good value. Common picks: - iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro: OLED screen, 5G and a strong camera - Pixel 6a or Pixel 7a: some of the best cameras at this price - Galaxy A54 5G: a solid all-rounder with a good screen
The iPhone 12 is the easiest to resell later. The Pixels give better photos for the money, but check their software update end dates. Whichever you choose, ask for the box and check that the IMEI on it matches the phone, because many phones in this range have changed hands more than once.
Best used phone under 70k and under 100k
Under 70k, the iPhone 13 is the safest buy: great battery life for an iPhone, a reliable camera and years of iOS updates left. The Pixel 7 and Galaxy S22 are also worth a look, and the Galaxy S23 FE suits someone who wants a Samsung flagship feel.
Under 100k you enter proper flagship territory: the iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro with ProMotion screens and telephoto cameras, the Galaxy S23 with its efficient Snapdragon chip, or the Pixel 8 with seven years of update support. For many buyers this range is the sweet spot of performance and price.
Best used phone under 150k in Pakistan
Under 150k you can get a recent Pro or Ultra model: - iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max: titanium, USB-C, 5x zoom on the Pro Max and long iOS support - Galaxy S23 Ultra or Galaxy S24 Ultra: 200MP camera, S Pen and a huge screen - Pixel 8 Pro: a top camera and seven years of updates
At this budget also compare with a new box pack phone like the iPhone 16 or Galaxy S24. A new phone with a full battery can be better value than a used Pro at a small saving. See best iPhone to buy in Pakistan (Best iPhone to Buy in Pakistan).
Best used Samsung phone to buy in Pakistan
Which is the best second hand Samsung phone to buy? Look at these points: - Updates: Galaxy S24 and newer have a seven-year update promise. The S22 and S23 got four Android upgrades and five years of security updates from launch, so check how many years are left - Chip: international Galaxy S22 models use Exynos, which runs warmer. The Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra use Snapdragon worldwide, which is cooler and more efficient (the S23 FE uses Exynos in most markets) - Screen burn-in: open a full grey or white image and look for leftover keyboard or status bar shadows, common on heavily used AMOLED screens - Battery: check Samsung Members > Phone diagnostics > Battery status - Fold and Flip: check the hinge, the inner screen crease and the screen protector, which is costly to repair
The Galaxy S23, S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra are the best used Samsung picks for most buyers. Our how to check Samsung original guide (How to Check if a Samsung Phone Is Original) covers the tests.
Checks before you buy any used phone
Whatever the budget: - IMEI: dial *#06#, match it with the box and Settings, and send it to 8484 - Accounts: the phone must be signed out of iCloud or Google and reset, see iCloud lock check (iCloud Lock Check: How to Spot Activation Lock, FRP and Knox Guard) - Battery: iPhone battery health above 85% is good. Our used iPhones have 100% - Repairs: on iPhones, check Settings > General > About > Parts and Service History - Condition: test the screen, cameras, speakers, Face ID or fingerprint and charging - PTA status: know whether it is PTA approved or Non PTA, and the tax if you plan to register
