buying a used mobile

    Hi, does any one have experience  having purchased a phone ? which store did you buy from ? how was the pricing and service if needed ?

I haven't done it personally, but I know of at least one person who did that by first going into one of the large Viettel stores and asking them for their recommendation.

Turned out it was a place directly next door to the Viettel store, probably associated somehow but not allowed to market & sell under the same roof.

Good luck with your search.

In Saigon back in 2019, my GF bought a "like new" reconditioned Samsung Galaxy J6+ at this major retailer, Thegioididong, at their Huynh Tan Phat location. Came with one year warranty, in original box with fold-out literature inside. It had, we were told by the sales rep, been fitted with a new screen and a new back. It looked perfectly mint. Less than 3 million, which at the time I believe was less than 1/2 price from new.

Seems there's other places where it is, as a reconditioned phone, still available.

If you want to go much cheaper, any of the small one-off phone repair shops will have used phones for sale, though they will not be reconditioned to like new. I had an acquaintance up in Thai Nguyen who repaired phones, and he had literally dozens of used phones for sale. A lot of people brought him their phone for repair, not returning later to pick them up (or pay their repair bill).

@OceanBeach92107    thank OB that sounds logical.

Oh no! Logical in Việt Nam?

Then I'm almost certainly wrong... 😉

I think one old place on Đ. Huỳnh Thúc Kháng still has one of these available...

@MarkinNam Seem chotot.vn is a good choice. You can find the price, then setup a meeting to review directly from owner.

I bought a used Samsung from someone on Cho Tot. No problems yet.

I am stuck buying used phones because I HATE the new phones with the narrow aspect ratios. A wider screen is much more versatile and enjoyable. But my 6 year old MiMax just developed a line of dead pixels
