In an age where the price of our pocket companions can exceed 3 digits, buying a smartphone is becoming more and more an expensive investment.
Two choices are then available to us:
– buy a new smartphone at a full price or commit to several months with additional costs
– buy a used or refurbished smartphone. More and more people are starting to choose the second choice.
Here we will see why buy a used or refurbished smartphone.
An almost new smartphone.
Buying a refurbished smartphone is not like buying a used smartphone. A refurbished device undergoes rigorous testing to ensure proper functioning before being sold. Once it has been admitted that the device is in perfect condition, the suppliers will rate the smartphone solely on its physical appearance (scratches, bumps, micro-scratches). Thus smartphones are graded from A + to C.
A reduced price
Being a second hand device, refurbished smartphones are cheaper. In addition, the new price of smartphones tends to decrease over time, which further reduces the price of refurbished smartphones.
A gesture for the environment
When you buy a refurbished smartphone, you are engaging in some form of recycling. Smartphones are often thrown away, which contributes to pollution. New smartphones are forcing manufacturers to further deplete the planet’s raw materials. You are therefore investing in the fight against waste and pollution. When millions of people do it, it has a significant positive impact on the planet.
