I got the same exact phone from GameStop, but the box was different, and the battery was changed. Still a 10/10 for mine

The thing is, there are now a lot of authorized repair dealers who are able to get OEM parts. Or it could be an actual trade in that didn’t get fixed before, you could probably somehow check the history of the parts used too since with OEM parts they require to be serialized to finish work orders/repairs

I bought an iPhone 11 Pro in Midnight Green for $5 more than the iPhone XR you bought on Amazon. The only difference is that it didn't come in the original apple box. It had one minor damage to the stainless steel, but overall, a great buy for a pretty affordable price.

great content as always!

I’m just about as surprised as you are with how good the phone is overall.

Well if they replaced it with a non Apple Original battery and didn’t program it it will come up as an error also the screen as well u can also test if it this has True Tone working. So sometimes with a screen not from style u lose Face ID or it start acting up.

Wow, i'm really impressed! Gamestop does pretty good job at restoring phones!

Tired their Black Friday deal for XR max, phone exterior was excellent (too excellent for an old phone), 98% battery health however it had a battery drain issue. Returned and got full money back.

Hey, nice video also please test a refurbished phone from Ebay.

"we'll hit this phone with uhh, unscrew" love it

Used to work there. Man, oh man

You must try refurbished phones from backmarket as they have a good pricing range and pretty good conditioned phones

2:35 Hearing that phrase with a calm demeanor was a bit weird. 😅

Amazon, Bestbuy, Walmart are good ones to test; also maybe get one from a local cell phone shop - I get mine fixed / buy refurbished from him. They are inclined as well to give discounts are you’re right infront of them, if you mention a similar price on one of these sites, they can knock off $50 most of the time, my iPhone 10 XR was only $250 and I see this one was $400 😅

very good phone detective work!

What about back market? Gotta see if they hold their end about refurbished products

CEX here in the UK sold me an iPhone with a fake screen and battery that fell apart 5 months later. They swapped it and told me it shouldn’t have been sold as a class B or even at all

I love your videos! Greetings from Croatia!

Yo prg u r so insightful plz tho test out the local corner shop phone sellers I really don’t even know who to trust nowadays but I have built up some knowledge from u thx bro appreciate it

How about all these refurbishing companies like backmarket?? Nice video

I wonder how lowball the previous got from gamestop during the trade in🤔

The reason why this phone is in really good condition and not opened. Because game stop have a very strict trade in program for phone. 3 months ago I tried to trade in my iPhone to GameStop as they were paying the most, my phone was almost new and it took me to go to 4 different GameStop until it passed the visual test.

I don't really think a 10/10 is warranted with a battery health of 87%. Not bad, but it could've been replaced, reprogrammed, and a new seal installed. Then again, this is GameStop we're talking about.

@RandoView

Жыл бұрын

@@quicklyform5162 Well yes, the 87% was from whoever previously owned the phone, but for a "refurbished" phone, I'd expect a battery with as close to 100% as possible, which means replacing it. Replacing it (with correct programing) resets it.

I just bought a new se 3 and I wanted to charge the phone and the screws got scuffed by the charger so maybe that’s what happened with the XR

I remember my mom bought me an iPhone 4s from GameStop it was a good condition

I have a couple ideas you should test Walmart target and back market

What microphone do you use and how do you make it sound so good!? ^^

Heyy you should get a small UV light to check for fingerprints when opening the phone. It would probably help you out and it's pretty cheap. Cheers!

you should try a refurbished phone from backmarket

Could you do Amazon refurbished? I bought a Note 20 ultra from them refurbished, and it seems great! However, I'm curious to see how good of a job they actually do on their refurbished phones.

Hey may I ask after you test these phones do u sell them?Or save them for future projects

Test Back Market next.

There is a company in the UK called music magpie. A customer needed a new screen on a iPhone she had bought from them, when I opened it up there were no plates or screws over the screen and top ribbon connectors. Give those cowboys a try.

I know there is probably a long waiting list but would you be interested in fixing my old iphone XR? Cracked screen, face ID does not work, and some water damage. Would be super cool if you were able to fix it!

"Someone's been in here!" -- Dankpods moment!

This marks its just oxidation on the body, this part in the screw is the most vulnerable and the first to lose the paint!

What do you use to test the software is it an app? Is it something that is only available for apple or can it be used on Android devices as well

Where do you recommend to get repare stuff for watches because I can't find anything usefull and nowhere will deliver to the uk

I want to to test phone repair guru next.

It was a surprise to me to that GameStop sold phones but I actually managed to get a brand new 13 pro max from there for a really good price. 10/10 phone

trust me GameStop i went to didn't take my phone because a small scratch on the body i don't know if it is every GameStop, but mine was picky as hell

There's a company in the UK named musicmagpie. They do dvds, games, phones, tablets. I asked them on eBay if the phone: either s9 plus or iPhone: was waterproof or had the seal replaced. They said they couldn't say which was very dojy to me as they're a realky big company.

Try the backmarket

I bought my daughter a REFURBISHED PS4 from GameStop for Christmas and it came up with an error when I plugged it in (something about system memory) so I tried to boot it in safe mode... Same thing. Pulled the hard drive and it looks like it has been set on fire. I wish I could post the picture but clearly it wasn't refurbished or tested. Yes they sent me another one and I had them overnight it so it would be here for Christmas but now I'm doubtful if they even do anything but wipe them down and rebox them.

Where do you get them shipped to you? I tried ordering one and it says only shipments to Russia and the EU

u should try to do a walmart if u have a walmart
