Probably best you get one from Apple themselves as they use all the original parts, back it with a warranty, and if anything goes wrong with it you can go to them and they will fix it free of charge.

Me: asking myself why the phones look shattered. Me: Realises my phones screen protector is cracked
Yes. I love this video. I've recently started looking into buying slightly used, unlocked phones, because being stuck on a two year payment plan (in turn being locked to the carrier) is something I'm trying to get away from. I recently bought two Nexus 6P phones (because the specs are very comparable to the Pixel devices, though it is 3 years old) and I've been enjoying them on official Oreo 8.1. While the 128GB version has a little bit of a washed screen, given it's usage, the 64GB version I also purchased is in pristine condition with no perfect, as new resolution. Both came with a 1 year warranty from eBay (Assurian(sp)), and this is the route I'll be going with in the future. It's just apparent that the "want" to have the latest and greatest, and the taboo of buying a used device (even when pristine) keeps most from even considering this. I absolutely love my s8+, however I'm still only half way through the payment contact and the s9 is already on its way to the public soon. I don't plan on going with another major flagship from my carrier, possibly from the manufacturer directly. However, it does make more financial since to just buy referbs with a warranty, especially since the vast majority of people slam a case on it anyway, so what little scratches do exist will never be seen. Sorry, I tend to go on tangents, but again great video.

Never really see videos about refurbished devices by popular uploaders. Thanks brother for this, you know your viewers well.
This was a terrible review. You never went into detail about the pitfalls of buying a referbished phone. As someone who has, I can honestly say it is a real gamble. Are you buying one with referbished parts? Are they stolen? Are the parts aftermarket? Are they cheap Chinese replica parts? Are the parts of high quality? Are the people you are buying from authorized referbishers/resellers? Etc... I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 (and returned it) from someone that seemed legit enough only to find out it was a lemon with hacked firmware, overheating issues, throttling, broken widget draw, camera not working because of overheating, even the removable backplate was a poor knockoff (the writing came off just by rubbing it, Samsung phones don't do that). Moral of the story: if you don't care about wasting money, only buy from an authorized and reputable reseller/refurbisher with a good track record. Another pro tip is to be very careful about feedback on their own site, a lot of it might be fake, so always look for off-site review's.

I'd say the quality of the phones differ dependent of the company. I just recently bought a Note 20 for 278 euros, and when it arrived it was in way better condition than I expected. The phone was less expensive to buy than second hand than where I live, and I got free shipping and half a year of warranty as well. The front glass was in perfect condition, and the back looked as new (with a few very small buts), which is impressive for a plastic back. The only way I could tell that it was pre owned was because I could see the edges of where the case used to be on the frame and the screen had minor burn in. With the price I've payed I'm very happy. Though I've heard other people having different experiences with refurbished phones.
You are one of the best reviewers . I love watching your videos . As a girl I probably know more about phones then anyone I talk to ... but it’s from watching all your videos. Big hugs .
i don't think that scratch is such problem as most user put it in case
what you should do all of your phones???? taking care.....or not?
Excellent video Arun and certainly a subject which must be looked into carefully as phones become more expensive
If you’re already getting an older phone, then refurbished is good. However, these older phones may not get the latest software (more specifically android). So, I would not recommend it over a chronologically newer phone, but within the same model, it seems worth it.

Hi after jumping in and buying a Mi 11, using Mi Mover from my Mi9 is useless will not transfer 3rd party apps, I'm gutted as its taken me ages to make the decision to buy. My wifes new iphone 12 from a 7, set up and ready to go on minutes, everything I didn't want or expect to happen has!! I can't remember all my logins for the usual apps. Have you any suggestions? It shouldn't be this hard, regret buying as spent three hours last night with it. I've now restored it to Factory settings and put it in a draw of shame!! Great Channel BTW.
just getting a used one from FBmarket place or whatever is good as refurbished. adding the term refurbish on it adds like $100 to it, all you get some generic chargers and a wonky warranty, or maybe even replaced cheaper parts.
You have a very nice speaking voice. Lovely and clear, I understood everything you said. I would love to win a phone please.
i've always been one to just go for refurbished phones as i never cared for new ones and let me say all of the refurbished phones i've had have been owned all over at least 3 years or more and all had 0 issues. I purchased a brand new phone about a year ago because of a great deal i got and i thought it would be nice owning a new phone but just yesterday that phone decided to just completely start to break. I lost all vibration in the phone and the touch sensors also broke or are close to breaking because sometimes i cant type and the phone will start typing for me. In the end my point is the refurbished phone is actually the better phone. Whatever broke was fixed and now you don't have to deal with what the new owner of one had to experience. They also tend to update other parts on refurbished phones and the part will actually be better than oem such as in the video with the screens. So my opinion is always go with the refurbished.

S.M.TANVIR AHMED As long as it includes a long-term warranty (1 year) from a reputable company, then I believe the risk is no greater than you would have buying a brand-new phone. FWIW, my last two phones -- an iPhone 5 and later a Note 5 -- bought brand new, each had to be replaced under warranty. If the warranty is backed by anyone other than the OEM, just make sure you read the terms carefully before buying, so that you understand fully the warranty company's terms of repair or replacement.

The color/shading of the display isn't really a reliable method of discerning refurb vs new. Many phones now have Android version that has display settings that control these parameters My refurb S7 was set to a bit closer to the cool end rather than the warm end of the "temperature" scale. That causes my display to appear very white compared to a "warmer" setting. Also, the "Blue Light Filter" may be enabled on one phone or the other...which will greatly change the brightness and the "temperature" of the display. Some phones also have "Adaptive" display settings which can make colors more vivid or less vivid than normal, and so on. Advanced settings even let you control the individual Red/Green/Blue channels of the display, which again, can make a major difference with just a small change in the settings.

I usually get mine refurbished. Most have been great value and lasted well. Some even have a guarantee. Not all are perfect. The worse was my HTC one with a camera that took purple images, but I've had an LG with a battery that lasted minutes, a Sony with a broken speaker and a HTC desire that won't connect to any networks! A Huawei P20 pro had a poorly performing camera due to a scratched lens (now fixed but still not perfect). My current LG V30 came on android 7 and battery dropped rapidly after only a short time using. I had to manually update it using PC as missed 8.0 so phone didn't find update. Seems it wasn't used for a while! But the next day after a full discharge and recharge battery was superb. And now it's got no faults at all. Lovely camera and I'm lucky. The oled got bad press on this but mines glorious. Best screen I've had on a phone. 165 pounds. I'd struggle to get close to anything this good new for that price.

I'd never buy a refurb. 40% of retail cost just isn't enough savings with all things considered. Such as the risks that come with refurb. Examples being that the chances of getting a refurb that has defects and glitches that got by the QC tests. Cheap after market replacement parts and possible slower performance. Plus I just personally HATE the fact the device is not brand new and that I'm using someone else's old defect or neglected device. It may be a bit silly but it's just the thought of it that bothers me.

Cosmetic conditions is important, but not the be or end all. While it would be impossible to find out without opening the phone, some places that refurbish phones, may not use the genuine parts, like the battery. They may not also put in that water proofing gasket seal. Those places that will replace your battery for cheaper than the Apple store- they can do that because they may use a lesser quality battery and/or not put that water proofing casket seal back onto your phone!
I got myself a Galaxy Note9 8Gb RAM Snapdragon, pristine condition. Now I don't really know how a brand new one should look and work, but the benchmarks are still holding up. Dunno, I'm happy with it! I'd like to use a newer Note S-Pen for the battery, but I dunno if it fits.......??? @Mrwhosetheboss Do the Note 20 and Note 10 S-Pens, fit in the Note9 hole? To charge them and not fall off? You know what I mean.

In all actuality, you very well COULD get scammed buying a refurbished product. However, for what it's worth, I have had success with them recently. A LOT depends on where you get them from & there seem to be a handful of reputable companies, now. (For phones) In general, I have avoided refurbished products. The warranty is often short or non-existent. Also, there is often no guarantee that the problem is fixed, or that it won't reoccur. (Without any coverage)

Yeah that's true . I researched that it's not really fixed . And the parts were almost OEM part
I’m not watching this on a refurbished phone rn 😅 yeh totally 😂
Great! You answered a lifelong question! Thanks!
Hi.. I am watching your video for past 6 months.. you are doing excellent job. Can you post a video about importance of factory data reset. And what's the time gap for factory data reset.
I learned a lot here today and I never win anything it would be so nice! Keep up the great work on explaining how they are different to us & stay safe & god bless!!!🙏🏼😇
Yes. Don't give your money to the machinery that vomits new crap. Anyway, new phones have these problems: Too big (diameter, screen size) Too thin Too fragile Too slippery Battery capacity too small And finally: lack of 3.5mm jack My next phone, if I buy a new one, has to convince me regarding the above list.
Me after changing the display of my s21 at samsung centre because the original one had oled burn in and i can't notice any big differences from the original one and refurbished from the manufacturer
I had a refurbished Samsung S7 Edge which according to the vendor was in 3/5 condition but was actually flawless. The only reason I gave it away was after it stopped receiving updates.

Yup. I got my P30 Pro a few weeks ago. Bought it as refurbished, it had 0 scratches and its flawless. And only for 400$
in my company we give warranty so if something doesn't work whe change it free or give it back the full money
Road to 1 mil! Love from India ♥️
Best tech KZreadr, keep it up
I had to get a refurbished Samsung s4 after mine died from water damage. It only has a 90 day warranty and if it has any problems after that point, tough luck. I also was not allowed to buy a newer edition and pay the difference. It was a nightmare to get the refurbished phone and I had to pay $150+. This is despite paying for full coverage every month. My phone also tends to shut down and restart sometimes. So, I would just get a new phone with a proper protective cover.
I just got a refurbish IPhone 7, and dang it looks like they just bought it new and gave it to me. 0 scratches but some games on my iPhone 7 it just starts getting warmer. The game’s are like a AR game and roblox game. But it makes sense
Great! And i'm watching this video after an year! Happens to me every time😣

I've been looking at reviews for quick mobile fix, and 99% of the reviews are saying not to shop from their because they haven't received their items and that if they do arrive they're normally. broken.
