Are you looking to buy a smartphone or tablet as ethically as possible? Then you’ve come to the right place.
The environmental footprint of a smartphone is mainly linked to its production. With iodé, you can have peace of mind by combining an ethical system with ethical equipment.
We have a wide choice of refurbished and new devices that we deliver to you within a few days under warranty and preinstalled with the latest version of iodéOS to protect your personal data.
New smartphones
Modular & repairable design
Our new iodé smartphones are characterized by their modular design, which makes it easy to replace components easily, such as the battery. Coupled with an extended warranty, their lifespan is extended.
Fair trade production
The manufacturers of our new smartphones are implementing fair trade practices in the supply chain.
Recycled materials
Our new smartphones are partially made from environmentally friendly materials such as recycled plastic.
The technology industry’s supply chain is far from irreproachable: conflict over metals, toxic waste, poor working conditions, not to mention the short lifespan of most devices due to programmed obsolescence. We work and promote the circular economy with local players, and with ethical manufacturers who promote fair working conditions and aim for a high level of reparability of the phones we sell.

Refurbished smartphones and tablets
Refurbished in Europe
Our refurbished smartphones are refurbished by professional partner companies. We source our devices in Europe only.
40+ control points
The equipment is tested at over 40 test points. The tests are adapted to each make and model and are carried out using professional equipment and tools.
Certified battery life
The battery is one of the most important points to check. It is replaced with a new one when its charge level is less than 80%.
Since our origins in 2021, we have continuously expanded our offerings of refurbished devices (phones and tablets). We offer more than 40 refurbished models from many brands such as Google, Motorola, OnePlus, Samsung, Sony and Xiaomi.
Where do we sell iodé phones?
iodéOS Premium is available all around the world.
We ship iodé smartphones in the European Union (EU), as well as the following countries in Europe: Switzerland, Norway, United Kingdom (UK)
What does ‘Certified battery life’ mean?
Our European refurbisher partners run hardware tests on more than 40 control points, including the battery. The testing procedures are adapted to each brand & model with smartphone manufacturers certified tools.
The battery has a minimum capacity of 80%, with a maximum of 700 cycle charges. All our iodé devices are tested and 100% functional regardless of their esthetic grades.
What is the difference between esthetic grades?
Our iodé refurbished phones and tablets come with 2 esthetic grades: A & B. Before explaining the differences between the 2, it is to be noted that the esthetic grade attribution of a phone is done after its reconditioning. This means the phone is 100% functional regardless of its grade.
Grade A: device in good shape. It presents micro scratches on the case or the screen, which are invisible when it is ON.
Grade B: device with more pronounced scratches. They have no incidence on the use of the phone.
How long is the hardware warranty period?
It depends on the model. Our refurbished iodé phones all come with a 1-year warranty, while the warranty is extended for new iodé models:
- Shift6mq comes with a 2-year warranty ✓
- Fairphone 4 and 5 with a 5-year warranty ✓
This warranty period differs from the software updates period (see ‘How long is the software updates warranty period?’ for more information).
