Phones used to have a small shelf life, often 2-3 years but over the past 5 years, there have been huge advancements in hardware. Samsung and Apple iPhone’s are so well built that, from a hardware perspective, they can last for many years.
This is great for the used phone market as it allows consumers access to tech which RRP for well over £1,000, for anything up to 80% less for a 2-year old device. With the majority of users choosing to look after their equipment by investing in screen protectors and phone cases, it means that when issues with an upgrade, these phones are in exceptional condition.
The latest industry software enables us to fully wipe devices in line with data protection regulations and also automated hardware checks to ensure that all items are fully functional – screen, buttons, camera, speakers etc. This quick process enables us to keep our prices as low as possible.
A great example of a reused phone for a great price is the iPhone 8 – high-specced hardware and runs the latest iOs with no trouble. A Grade C with Gizmo2Go costs just £X compared to £X direct from Apple.
Many people assume a used phone is in poor condition but this is not the case. All of our handsets are Grade A-C condition, meaning that we do not sell devices which we wouldn’t use ourselves.
