What is a refurbished phone?

A refurbished phone is a pre-owned device that has been professionally refurbished back to perfect working condition. A refurbished phone is a genuine alternative to buying a new phone as it provides all the benefits of new phone but at a much cheaper price.

This is the process...A refurbishing company will start by taking a pre-owned phone and fully testing every hardware and software component of the phone to find any faults with the phone's functionality. The testing process for most devices generally consists of more 50+ tests to ensure any defect is detected. If any faults are found these are repaired.

All refurbished phones are 100% fully working in terms of the functionality of the device but they are available in different grades of cosmetic condition.

A fully refurbished device to 'Like New' condition looks exactly like a brand new phone. The refurbishing company will replace any element of the phone's exterior that shows any signs of damage or wear such as the screen or rear casing. By doing this they make the phone look brand new again with no scratches, marks or other blemishes.

There are then other cosmetic grades of refurbished phones. With some refurbished devices the exterior cosmetic condition is left in its current condition but just has any functional faults repaired.

Although the exterior cosmetic condition of a refurbished phone can range from looking like a brand new phone down to one that shows more than average 'wear and tear' all refurbished phones are 100% fully functional. The reason there is a range of different cosmetic conditions is that the grades cover different price ranges and consumers want that choice. Some want a fully refurbished phone that looks brand new, whereas someone else might want a phone that is fully working but they are not so bothered about the cosmetic condition because it is for their kids to use.

All refurbished phones, regardless of cosmetic condition, are packaged in a new generic packaging box with any specified included accessories.

In summary, a refurbished phone is a high-quality, 100% fully working refurbished device that provides the benefits of a new phone but at a much cheaper price.
