Cost factors
When you’re looking for an affordable phone, you want to know the factors that affect its price. Read about some of them below.
Condition
The condition of a phone affects its price. If you want a phone in pristine condition, you should look for a Grade A+ phone, which will be on the higher end of the pricing spectrum. However, if you don’t mind more signs of wear and tear, Grade C phones will be a more affordable option.
Here are the phone conditions we offer at theiOutlet:
A+ Grade: Pristine
Pristine devices are in great condition with no signs of wear. They’ve been tested to make sure they work as expected.
A Grade: Excellent
You’ll notice some minor signs of wear and tear on Excellent devices, but they still function up to standard.
B Grade: Good
Good products have some cosmetic damage or scratches. However, we still test them to make sure they work as they should.
C Grade: Average
Average devices’ wear is significant, but they’re still tested and work up to standard.
Storage
Phones come with various storage capacities. They may typically range between 64 GB and as much as 1 TB. Phones with a lot of storage can store more apps, photos, videos, and other files, which can be useful, and that’s why they come at a higher price point.
Model
It goes without saying that phone models come at various prices. New models with modern features often come with a higher price tag, while older models with fewer features are more affordable.
Often, models have a “Plus” version, a “Mini” version, or another version. This is to provide buyers with different features of the same model and sell them at different prices.
