Are refurbished smartphones worth buying?

Refurbished smartphones are in complete working order but are sold at a significantly lower cost than a brand new phone. So buying a refurbished smartphone is a great way to save money and reduce e-waste.

Are refurbished smartphones better than used phones?

Yes! Unlike used phones, refurbished smartphones have been thoroughly tested to ensure they work as advertised. At Device Trader, all of our refurbished smartphones have undergone a rigorous 72-point inspection, testing everything from the battery health to the vibration function to ensure they are in perfect working order.

Do refurbished smartphones have new batteries?

We test battery life as part of our 72-point inspection process, but most of the phones we refurbish do not require new batteries. All refurbished phones have 80% or higher battery health and come with a 12-month warranty.

How do I tell if my smartphone is refurbished?

Refurbished smartphones cannot be sold as ‘new’, so when you are phone shopping, it should be clear which phones are refurbished and new. If you're in the market for a new smartphone and want to take advantage of the lower pricing of a fully functional refurbished smartphone, contact us at Device Trader today.
