Busting Myths and Exploring the Benefits of Refurbished Smartphones

Are you considering buying a refurbished smartphone, but hesitant because of myths surrounding the device? In this article, we will debunk those myths and explore the benefits of buying a second-hand device. 

Myth #1: Refurbished devices are of low quality

There's a common misconception that refurbished electronics are defective and unreliable. This is far from the truth. In fact, refurbished devices undergo a rigorous testing process and are often restored to their original factory settings. For instance, let's take the example of Revibe.me. Revibe.me offers a 10-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year warranty on all of its refurbished electronics. In addition, they are checked for quality across 50 different criteria to guarantee they are of the highest standard.

Myth #2: Refurbished devices have poor battery life

Another common myth about refurbished devices is that they have poor battery life. This is not necessarily true. You can expect the same battery life from a refurbished device as you would from a brand new one because most batteries are replaced during the refurbishment process. 

 

  

Myth #3: Refurbished devices are outdated

This is a common misconception about refurbished devices. Refurbished devices can be just as up-to-date as brand new devices. In fact, many refurbished devices have the latest operating systems and hardware upgrades. For example, Revibe.me's refurbished devices come with the latest operating systems and software updates, so you can enjoy the latest features and functionalities.

5 Benefits of Buying Refurbished Devices

Now that we have busted some myths about refurbished devices, let's explore the benefits of buying second-hand devices.

1. Affordable Price

One of the biggest advantages of buying a refurbished device is the cost. Refurbished devices can cost significantly less than brand new devices, making them a great option for those on a tight budget. For example, you can buy a refurbished iPhone XR from Revibe.me for AED837, while a new iPhone XR costs AED2699.

2. Environmental Benefits Buying a refurbished electronics product is an easy way to do your part in the fight against electronic waste. Refurbished devices are often sourced from trade-ins, where devices that would have otherwise been discarded are refurbished and sold. This reduces the amount of electronic waste that ends up in landfills.

3. Same Quality

Refurbished devices are restored to their original factory settings and often undergo a rigorous testing process, so you can expect the same quality as a brand new device. For example, Revibe.me's refurbished devices undergo a 50-point quality check to ensure that they are of the highest quality. 

4. Warranty

Most refurbished devices come with a warranty, giving you peace of mind knowing that you are buying a reliable device. For example, Revibe.me's refurbished devices come with a 10-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year warranty.

5. Upgrades

Many refurbished devices come with the latest hardware upgrades and operating systems, making them just as up-to-date as brand new devices. For example, Revibe.me's refurbished devices come with the latest operating systems and software updates, so you can enjoy the latest features and functionalities.
