Things to Check Before Buying a Refurbished Smartphone

Thinking of buying a refurbished smartphone? That can be the best way to save money while still getting a high-quality device. However, ensuring that your newest device meets all the necessary standards and functions as expected is essential.

Here are essential tips to check before buying a Refurbished Phone:

1. Verify the Warranty One of the significant advantages of buying a refurbished phone from Xtracover is the warranty that comes with each refurbished device. Ensure you understand the warranty terms and duration. This will cover most defects and give you peace of mind.
   
2. Check the Quality Control (QC) Report Xtracover provides a detailed 64-parameters QC report for each second-hand smartphone. This report outlines the tests the phone has undergone and its condition. Always Verify this report to ensure all features are functional and up to your expected standards.
   
3. Inspect the Exterior Ensure to examine the phone’s exterior for any signs of damage or wear and tear according to the grade of the phone ordered by you. While some minor scratches are acceptable, significant dents or cracks could indicate more severe issues. Xtracover ensures that their devices are cosmetically graded, so this step should reassure you of the device’s condition.
   
4. Testing the Battery Health Battery performance has always been crucial for any smartphone. If possible, try using the phone you have been eyeing for a day to see how long the battery lasts. Most refurbished phones or preowned phones from Xtracover have their batteries tested or replaced if needed. You can also check the battery health in the phone’s settings.
   
5. Ensure the Screen and Touch Sensitivity are Intact. You can also check the screen for any dead pixels, discolouration, touch sensitivity issues or any other display issues. Xtracover’s QC checks also include thorough testing of the screen and touch functionality, but it’s good practice to confirm this yourself.
   
6. Test the Camera Try testing the mobile camera by taking photos and videos with both the front and rear cameras to ensure they work correctly. Check for clarity, focus, and any potential issues with the camera software. But if you’re buying from us, be relaxed. Refurbished or used phones from Xtracover come with cameras tested for quality.
   
7. Check the Audio Always check the audio quality and speaker by playing music, making a call, and using the speakerphone to test the audio quality. Ensure that the speakers, microphone, and any headphone jacks or Bluetooth connections are working correctly. Xtracover’s 64 QC process includes audio tests to ensure functionality.
   
8. Validate the Network and Connectivity Insert your SIM card and test the phone’s ability to make calls, send texts, and use mobile data. Also, test Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS connectivity. This ensures the phone can connect to various networks and devices as expected to perform.
   
9. Verify the IMEI Number Never forget to check the IMEI number of the phone to ensure it’s not blacklisted or reported stolen. You can find the IMEI number in the phone’s settings and cross-check it online. Xtracover guarantees that all their phones are legitimate and have a clean history.
