You may have seen refurbished phones presented as
pre-owned or reconditioned. You might even
see an unboxed phone. These are all
interchangeable terms describing the same
thing.

All of the above terms mean that someone
previously purchased the phone, then returned to
the company, wireless carrier, or retailer. In
most of the cases, there was nothing wrong with
refurbished phones even before they were
repaired the person may have simply decided
that they want to buy a new one.  In a few cases,
the refurbished phone did have some kind of small
hardware problem, like wifi connectivity issue or
a cracked case. In that case, the phone was fixed
and sold it again as a refurbished item.

REFURBISHED VS NEW PHONE
When it comes to new vs. refurbished, theres no
other difference beyond the fact that it was
lightly used before coming to you. Refurbished
mobiles work just like new.  Its not technically
a new phone anymore, so the term refurbished
shows that distinction.

WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND
If you want to save your money by going the
refurbished route, you need to keep few things in
mind. Also, you have to do some research before
buying a new device

CHECK FOR A WARRANTY
If the refurbished phone you want to buy truly
has no issues, the retailer must include some
kind of warranty with the purchase. If it doesnt
come with a warranty, theres a bigger chance
something will be wrong with the second hand
phone.

READ THE FINE PRINT
Reading fine print is important with a large
purchase, but its especially important when
youre buying a second hand smartphone. A common
red flag is a phone marked as is. Reading such
fine print might reveal that you cant return the
phone or get a refund if anything isnt
working.

BUY FROM THE ORIGINAL COMPANY
Many times, the manufacturer will have some
handsets that are perfectly fine. The original
owner returned them for some unknown reason.
Theyll often try to resell them as refurbished
phones on their official website. This is
probably the easiest way for you to save some
money.
