Refurbished phone - when is it profitable to buy it instead of a new one?
What is a refurbished phone?
A refurbished (refurbished/renewed) phone is a device that has previously been used or returned and has been thoroughly inspected, repaired and restored to full working order. In the refurbishing process, worn-out components such as the battery or screen are replaced, and the equipment undergoes diagnostic tests.
Each phone at AMSO additionally undergoes professional data cleaning using specialized software, so you can be sure that the device is completely safe and ready to use again.
Why should you consider such a purchase?
The biggest advantage of refurbished phones is the lower price compared to new copies. Often the difference reaches up to several tens of percent, which allows you to enjoy a high-performance smartphone without straining your budget.
In addition, by buying a refurbished device, you contribute to reducing electro-waste and take care of the environment. It's a smart choice both financially and environmentally.
When is it profitable to buy a refurbished phone?
Buying a refurbished smartphone especially makes sense when:
- You want to save money and not overpay for the latest model.
- You care about a premium phone, but at a lower price.
- You don't need absolute technological innovations, and reliability is more important.
- You have found a trusted vendor that offers a warranty and a proven renewal process.
- You care about the environment and want to give the device a second life.
What to look for when choosing?
When buying a refurbished phone, it's worth checking a few key elements:
- Warranty - a minimum of 12 months is standard.
- Battery condition - whether it has been replaced or is in good condition.
- Visual grade (Grade A/B/C) - describes the condition of the case and screen.
- Returnability - gives you the security of an online purchase.
👉 At AMSO, every phone undergoes full diagnostics, professional data cleaning and a renewal process. What's more, in addition to the standard warranty, you can buy extended protection for 12, 24 or even 36 months. This added security makes the purchase even more worthwhile.
Refurbished or new - which is more worthwhile?
A new phone gives you a full manufacturer's warranty and access to the latest features, but the price is often high. A refurbished smartphone, on the other hand, allows you to save money while enjoying a premium device in great working condition.
For many people, it is the refurbished phone that is the best compromise between quality, price and ecology.
