I feel like I might get scammed when I buy a refurbished phone
if you buy from a ruputable company (music magpie, mazuma, envirofone) you will definetley not be scammed and can even choose to buy a pristine condition refurbished phone. This means that it will not have any scratches whatsoever.
In India yes
@@Ramiromasters why?
@@blindocean1472 You buy an iPhone from the store for $1000 ok, well say you don't like it and want to sell it on the market next day, now is worth at least $200 less. What happen? did the magical fairy dust fell off and that is why is worth less? nop its all gimik. They want to make a market like the fashion industry, that doesn't depend on performance but on colors and re arrangements and they want to say what is cool! though their phones may be 1% than last year in some aspects.

I'm very disappointed that you didn't test battery life, as that is one thing that gets worse over time.

just replace the battery for like $30

Coming from Arun's video from a few hours ago, the change in quality from 3 years ago is astounding. So much love for Arun and his channel! 🙌
could you provide a link to the video?
Keep in mind that a refurbished phone, because it's been opened to be fixed may have been replaced with cheaper parts and if it was a water resistant phone then that may also be compromised
Raul Polanco good point
Raul Polanco but if it's from the company itself, then no need to worry
Honestly Raul does and does not gave a good point. Meaning, if you buy your refurbished phone from an unknown source. You don't really know what your getting. 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.
Yeah I learned that the hard way
Thats why you buy manufactured refurbished, not seller. All oem parts with manufactured.
Getting a refurbished phone is okay, especially if you're gifting it to someone whom you know won't mind it being refurbished.
As long as the quality is good.
Man his voice sounds so different
(Still soothing tho)
Is it real or artificially enhanced!
Its called being britsh
Enhanced
Me: asking myself why the phones look shattered.
Me: Realises my phones screen protector is cracked
I would be very disappointed to find that a “pristine condition” phone had a non OEM screen!
What does it matter? As long as it stacks up to the OEM screen
Simple just plug it in and compare it with a OEM screen of buy from well known sources
Exactly why I never buy refurbished. If a device has non OEM replacement parts then the device has lost all of its value
Also a non OEM could consume more power resulting in worse battery life while also being of a lower quality than the original screen
@@SkyPassYT and they usually don’t
My main concern is battery life when it comes to refurbished phones. I've been looking for a refurbished LG for awhile now

Bro i have a question for u, is the phone as powerful as the normal one?
@@ronygarcia1986 I too wanna know
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.
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 contacted quick mobile fix. They say that they do not use original Apple parts. Instead, they use ‘Grade A’ generic parts which they cannot prove so I would be quite wary of buying from them.
thats true but at least they are honest enough to admit it
Thank you.
Well, that's your problem
Kwinny Studios no, thats not his problem. Refurbished is literally a gamble, anyone can have this problem
have you ever get confused which one is the new
Who remembers when we used to get chargers and earphones

Dang, i think im too late
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.
What was the phone that broke
@@samsunggalaxynote20ultra5g4 LG G7 ThinQ
Did you bought your refurbished from a seller?
@@RakibKhan-bu4vo I usually buy from high rated sellers on eBay with the phone being sold in "excellent" condition.
@@-Zelo Did your phones still had the ip68 ratings?
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.
i should first start by getting a smartphone :(
Maxime FROSSARD oh yeh

You had me at screen protector! @1:08
Its plastic....
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.

looks like buying a refurbished phone is not that bad but how about long time usage 1-2 years ?, any chance of hardware problem ?
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.

Is it a good company to buy a refurbished phone?
Ikechi Nwankwo Sorry to hear, man. Did Google honor their warranty and fix the issues free of charge ?
matthew lindsay Which company ?
TBH this video is useless (sorry) but no company will send you a bad phone, even if it is refurbished. The main problem happens with us, the consumer.😐
Mukund Bhardwaj “No company will send you a bad phone.”
Really? You clearly have never bought refurbished before.
@@crystalgemstv4609 he partner up with the company and he's saying that the company sent him good phones to make the company look good for the consumer
@@crystalgemstv4609 honestly I must agree. Getting refurbished is another way of getting the phone for dirt cheap. I also buy my phones refurbished and they always last me.. Until my cameras start to go out or it just simply stops working 100% perfect after a couple years but thats just from human use in general lol.
Oh but they will...in a ❤beat!
Firstly, this is just straight up biased.
Personally, I would much rather buy it used from someone selling privately. These "Refurbished" phones are mostly phones that were fixed up. I would imagine that one of the most common reasons why these phones are fixed is because of a cracked screen. I'm not too keen on taking a risk with a high chance of a non-genuine screen/reglued screen.
@Adam I'm sorry to hear that you have been scammed in the past. It's a none issue for MOST people.
If you buy from reputable sites, there shouldn't be an issue.
Have done that several times and so far all was good.
Except for one time where the battery of a refurbished iPhone grew in size. I got my money back and was allowed to keep the phone.
Well fuck you idiot get refurbished phones dumbass
i don't think that scratch is such problem as most user put it in case
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.
Yoni Playz Profile Picture Any reasons to why not? And if not new, then what condition?
They fix what needs to be fixed🤦
I have never thought that a refurbished phone can be so good.
Hisan Kidwai p
The fact that this still shows up 6 years later
Anyone reading this comment needs to be warned, DO NOT TRUST QUICK MOBILE FIX!!!
I WAITED 3 MONTHS FOR A PHONE AND WHEN IT GOT HERE IT HAD A BROKEN SCREEN AND WHEN I WANTED A REFUND THEY FOR SOME REASON DIDN’T GIVE IT UNTIL A FEW MONTHS LATER.
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 got a refurbished note 9 in very good condition for 434. It was pristine but only came with the phone, stylus and fast charger
I did too but mine won't get OTA updates
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.
I had to send my 1day old phone in for repairs(no physical damage, just messed up out of the box), and was sent a refurbished phone because they couldn't fix mine. I asked if there was a rebate on what I paid, because I bought a brand new phone, but ended up with the wrong colour and a used phone. I wasn't happy. It still works 4 years later though.
refurbished or not i really wana win the giveaway
You have a very nice speaking voice. Lovely and clear, I understood everything you said. I would love to win a phone please.
Do they replace the battery with a new one ? That is my biggest concern since all new phones have nonremovable batteries
No, you can replace them, however refurbished phones usually come with a new battery
@@youssef6439 how can a refurbished phone come with a new battery if the battery cannot be replaced . That does not make sense 🙄. Yes they can be taken apart. Cleaned. Repaired. And replace needed components. Such as the battery. I think you need to read my comment again. You may have misunderstood.
@@slevinkelevra5901 no because you said do they replace the battery and then you said that all new phones had “nonremovable” batteries. I said that new phones batteries can be removed and replaced, and if you buy an older refurbished phone from a reputable company they will replace a worn 🔋.
@@youssef6439 I aaumed you knew what " non-removable " .. Meaning everyone that owns a phones like that cannot turn the phone over and remove the back side on the case and remove the battery. My mistake by assuming
@@slevinkelevra5901 Oh, I thought you meant the batteries could not be replaced whatsoever. You mean that the consumer cannot replace the battery.

Why are there so many Mrwhosetheboss videos that I dont get recommended until 5 years after
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.

honestly the only con I've seen to refurbished phones is the possibility of not receiving proper updates. I bought a Note 9 refurbished about 2 months ago, and have not received any updates at all. I'm still stuck with Android 9 and year-old security patches as of August 2020...
I can't find an answer to this anywhere, is Samsung certified pre owned trustworthy?
