When we talk about smartphone refurbishment, the technology of recent years has helped us a lot in doing this. So, if you want access to technology and, at the same time, to significantly reduce costs, we suggest you seriously consider purchasing a refurbished phone.
Many of you may not fully trust the idea of buying an already used smartphone. We understand you perfectly! This is exactly why we created this article 😊, which aims to present the most important things a user should understand about the mobile phone refurbishment process.
Step 1 – Testing the mobile phone
We test, test, and test again! This is our efficient way of ensuring services at high quality standards. A refurbished phone is a phone that has received “a second-life”. Practically, we say it has earned its chance to reach the hands of a new user, who can fully enjoy the functions of their new device, which have previously been checked by our technology experts.
Moreover, in the case of refurbished products, the focus is on quality, with the entire process including strict verification steps that must be carefully followed by the technical team.
Thus, every smartphone that reaches our experts’ table has its components carefully checked, such as:
- Contact with liquids
- Speaker – Phone speaker
- Microphone
- Front camera
- Rear camera
- Front video camera
- Rear video camera
- Autofocus function

Step 2 – Classification after refurbishment
After the functionality tests are performed, we carefully classify the phones and assign them grades between A+, A, B, and C.
Grade A+ – we say this is an exceptional phone, perfectly functional, with no visible signs of use.
Grade A is assigned to a refurbished phone in very good condition, where you may notice a few small, negligible scratches on the screen or on the back casing.
Grade B indicates that the refurbished phone is in good condition, but shows visible signs of use.
Grade C is given to a phone with a decent appearance, which shows signs of use, but is ready to do its job properly!
Our classification system is based more on exterior appearance, because from a technical point of view we make sure that all phones work within excellent parameters. The process we follow is rigorous and requires us to notice even the smallest imperfections: from barely visible cracks in the metal casing to minor scratches on the screen, nothing goes unnoticed! We keep an eye on the finest imperfections because we want you to enjoy a perfect new smartphone!
Step 3 – Warranty and free return right!
We have full confidence in our testing and classification procedures, which is why we offer you a 12-month warranty covering both hardware and software defects. In addition, we fully understand that online selling is different. You only see the phone in pictures, read about it, you are convinced it suits you, but when you open the package, reality may be different.
We want you to be extremely satisfied with your choice, which is why you have the right to a free return for up to 30 days, without giving us any explanation. Moreover, we encourage you to contact our advisors immediately at +40 771 222 555 and find the right solution for you together.
That being said, we welcome you to the world of cost-efficient devices and invite you to take a virtual tour of our smart phone showroom!
