On the lookout for a new phone? You have a lot of options these days, from budget-friendly models to ultra-high-end devices. With so many different phones out there, it can be hard to figure out which one is the right choice for you. If you’re looking for a refurbished device from The iOutlet, read below about how you can better decide which device is right for you.
Why get a refurbished phone?
Refurbished phones are a great way to get quality devices for a reduced price. Moreover, purchasing a refurbished phone is also better for the environment. Here at The iOutlet we have a selection of refurbished phones, including iPhone and Samsung models, that are tested for functionality and come with a warranty, ensuring that you get a device that meets your expectations. Let’s go over some criteria you might look out for as you shop for a refurbished phone.
Criteria
What are the things you’re looking for in a phone? Are you looking for something that’s more budget-friendly, or perhaps something with a lot of features? While there are a number of things each individual will consider, and many come down to their personal preferences, there are a few basic factors that should be taken into consideration when making a decision. Some of these are:
Price
Price is often one of the biggest factors to consider when making a purchase. New phone models with various features and benefits can be expensive, so customers often compare prices between different brands or models to make sure they are getting the best value for their money. On the other hand, older models can be more budget-friendly, and while they won’t feature the most recent technology, they may still fulfil all the customer’s needs and preferences.
Features
Aside from price, features are also an important factor to consider when making a purchase. Customers should consider the features that are most important to them, such as screen size, a high-quality camera, battery life, storage capacity, and processing speed. It really depends on their personal requirements, preferences, and what they will be using the phone for.
Device Condition
If you’re going for a refurbished mobile device, these usually come in different conditions that affect the price. At The iOutlet, our devices come in the following conditions:
A+ Grade: Pristine
A+ Grade: Pristine devices are those that are in excellent condition with no signs of wear and tear. They have been tested to ensure that all functions and features are in full working order.
A Grade: Excellent
A Grade: Excellent devices may have minor signs of wear and tear, but have been tested to ensure that all functions and features are working up to standard.
B Grade: Good
B Grade: Good devices are those that may have moderate cosmetic damage or scratches, but they have still been tested to ensure that all functions are working properly.
C Grade: Average
C Grade: Average devices will show heavy wear and tear. But we still test them to make sure all functions are working as they should.
