The modern smartphone market is moving at a rapid pace. Every day, it feels like there’s a new device with breakthrough technology and stunning visuals. While it’s great for those who can change their phone quickly, what if you just want a reliable device that can help you get by?

As the number of devices on the market increases, so does the options when it comes to refurbished phones. So long as you know what to look for when buying a second-hand phone, you can find an excellent device for a great price!

Still not sold on the idea of buying a refurbished phone? Check out these reasons why second-hand might be the best choice for you!

Environmentally Friendly

Many of us are trying to be more eco-conscious in many aspects of our lives, but have you ever considered your devices? Phones use various components and are produced and shipped all over the world, making their carbon footprint much more significant than you would imagine.

By choosing a refurbished device instead of a new one, you’re helping to reduce the environmental impact of the mass-producing smartphone industry. Furthermore, while some devices are now recycled, many people still throw away their old phones, contributing to landfill. Every refurbished phone purchased is one less that’s wasted, further helping to protect our planet.

Cleaned and Tested

If you’ve never bought a refurbished device before, you’d be forgiven for being concerned about the quality of the product you might receive. We can dispel any doubts you may have thanks to our professional service, which includes thorough cleaning and testing of every device.

Every device that comes to us is given a surgical clean by our team to ensure the highest hygiene practices. It is also put through our rigorous testing programme, to check its performance meets our standards. Based on the results of the test, we then place the devices into grades, so you know exactly what to expect.

Warranty Guaranteed

Regardless of the grade given to each phone, every device we sell is in full working order and backed by our 12-month warranty. This guarantee gives you extra peace of mind when considering a second-hand phone.

Cleared of Data

This point can be one of the key differences between purchasing a second-hand phone on the open market and a refurbished device from a professional vendor. As part of the testing process on every phone, we will remove any data on the phone and restore it to factory settings.

When purchasing a refurbished phone, the last thing you want is to have to remove all the old apps, photos, notes and anything else that were left behind. A refurbished phone will come completely cleared, making it feel like a brand new device.

Value for Money

Ultimately, this is the deciding factor for many when choosing a refurbished or new phone. Buying second-hand can save you an incredible amount of money, particularly on the latest devices. However, refurbished phones go beyond merely making savings – they offer genuine value for money.

In a rapidly-moving smartphone world, many people now look to change their devices more regularly than before. Backed by our 12-month warranty, refurbished phones are an excellent choice for people who want to enjoy the new releases. Furthermore, the savings are often more substantial on the latest phones.

There are so many positive reasons why you should consider a second-hand phone for your next device! Just make sure it’s been adequately cleaned and tested by professionals like us at Second-Hand Phones.
