If you are going to get your next phone refurbished in New Zealand, then this blog is exclusively for you. Buying it from a verified seller adds up to the buyer’s confidence. The process of analyzing a phone is a tricky thing to do. There might be fewer sellers who reveal their testing method for a refurbished phone. Still, Wise Market will inform you how it evaluates a refurbished phone and what measures it takes to make it eligible for selling on its platform.

What is Mainly a Refurbished Phone?

A refurbished phone is returned to the manufacturer or retailer because of some defect or change of mind. In deep, a phone refurbished previously had a different owner. A refurbished phone has undergone thorough testing and occasionally repairs to ensure it reaches a specific quality before resale, in contrast to a used phone, which would often be sold as-is by an individual.

Which Refurbished Phones are Eligible for Selling at Wise Market?

When you purchase a refurbished phone, it goes through a procedure to ensure that it has been examined and restored to a condition nearly identical to when it first left the factory. Additionally, not all phones are selected to be serviced. Only mobile devices that can be restored to “new condition” are mended.

As a result, only the best refurbished products are offered for sale. These pre-owned phones will function exactly like brand-new ones. When a reconditioned phone enters the Market, its appearance is more important than how well it functions.

What Does Wise Market Do with Refurbished Phones?

When you buy a refurbished phone from Wise Market, you can be assured that it will perform just like new because we put it through a comprehensive quality check consisting of 70+ different criteria.

We only sell refurbished phones that have passed our rigorous testing and have been thoroughly inspected by our team of professionals. The testing process consists of discovering genuine parts, gauging the phone’s performance, and doing a visual check.

How Does Wise Market Carry out the Testing Process?

We test everything using various methods, from the battery life to the functionality of the volume controls. Our experts thoroughly examine each item to check for wear or damage.

To ensure it functions, they put the phone through several easy tests. Additionally, we do more difficult tests to check for hardware issues. We employ diagnostic software to perform a thorough scan of all the gear.

Basic Test List for Refurbished Phones Clearance

Wise Market performs more than 70+ quality checkpoints. During the process, a full hardware scan is done to make sure that the phone is in fine condition. Our technical staff uses this to determine what’s wrong with the phone and whether it needs fixing.

For these checks, the whole thing undergoes a keen testing process. Below is the list of a few tests from the 70+ checkpoints we take for a refurbished phone.

1 – Physical Test of the Phone

Examines the phone’s outward look, including the SIM card slot, casing, buttons, ports, speaker, microphone, cameras, LED lights, and other parts.

2—Verify the Phone’s Information

Verifies the model number, serial number, manufacturer, firmware version, display resolution, CPU speed, storage space, memory size, RAM, battery capacity, camera type, and sensor resolution.

3 – Checks either Jailbroken or Rooted

It checks if the device has been rooted or jailbroken. This means the user has changed the operating system and put in different apps.

4 – Hardware Keys Verification

It validates the operation of all buttons and keys, including the power button, volume controls, camera shutter release, and lock switch.

5 – Evaluate Fingerprint/Sensors

It checks the Fingerprint/Sensors to see if they work properly or not.

6 – Assess the Vision

Analyzes the camera’s lens, flash, light sensitivity, autofocus, focus distance, exposure compensation, white balance, ISO, and video recording mode.

7 – Checks the Camera/Video

Investigates the camera’s settings, including HDR, face detection, touch focus, shutter speed, flash mode, and frame rates.

8 – Evaluate Battery Health 

The battery’s condition, charging status, charge level, temperature, current usage, voltage, and remaining time are all checked here.

9—Check the Sound of the Phone

Performs a test to determine the sound quality of the output from the speakers, earphones, and microphones.

10 – Test Microphone

Live calls are made through the phone to check the microphone for proper functioning.

How do we do cosmetic grading?

The appearance of every refurbished phone varies. Some are finished better. Others might have dents, scrapes, or other visual flaws. When grading our products, we take these considerations into account. The cosmetic grades of the refurbished phones are determined using the following standards.

• As New: Devices seem brand new in this condition. No dents or stains. Can’t determine if the device is new or used. Full-functioning hardware.

• Excellent: Excellent condition with some wear. The body has micro-scratches. Micro-scratches on the screen may be invisible when on. Full-functioning hardware.  

• Good: The best deal for the money. Minor scuffs or scratches that can’t be seen from arm’s length. Clean and tested to make sure they meet OEM standards. Hardware that works 100% of the time.

• Fair: These devices are available at a low cost! They put up one hundred percent effort, but their naked appearance is not attractive. The hardware is completely operational.
