Refurbished phones can last just as long as new ones when properly cared for. The longevity depends on usage patterns, care, and the device age.

Grading refers to the cosmetic condition only of a refurbished device. It describes how the device looks on the outside (scratches, dents, screen condition). Grading does NOT affect functionality—all devices are fully tested and 100% functional regardless of grade.

Grade A+ devices are in excellent cosmetic condition with little to no visible marks. The screen is near flawless, the frame and back are very clean, and there are minimal signs of prior use. These devices look almost brand new.

Grade A devices show very light signs of use with only minor cosmetic wear. You may notice some hairline scratches, but there are no deep scratches or dents. The screen is in great condition and the device looks excellent overall.

Grade B devices show moderate signs of use. You’ll see visible light scratches on the screen or body, and there may be small scuffs or minor marks on the frame. There are no cracks, and the device is completely functional.

Grade C devices show noticeable signs of use with visible scratches and scuffs throughout. The screen may have noticeable surface scratches, and there may be possible small dents on the frame. No cracks unless otherwise stated. The device is fully functional.

Grade D devices show heavy cosmetic wear with deep scratches and visible dents. They may have various cosmetic imperfections, but are still fully tested and functional unless otherwise stated. Perfect for those who prioritize functionality over appearance.

No! All our refurbished devices are fully tested and 100% functional regardless of grade. Grade only refers to cosmetic appearance. A Grade C device works exactly the same as a Grade A+ device—the only difference is how it looks on the outside.

It depends on your priorities:

• A+ or A: If you want a device that looks like new
• B: If you want good condition at a better price
• C: If you don’t mind visible wear and want the best value
• D: If functionality is all that matters and you want the lowest price

Yes! All our product listings include photos showing the device’s condition. We provide clear images of the screen, frame, back, and sides so you know exactly what you’re getting. Contact us at 0403 700 818 if you want additional photos before purchasing.
