Clearing the air: Busting Common Misconceptions About Refurbished Phones
Refurbished phones have gained popularity in recent years as a cost-effective alternative to brand-new devices. However, myths surrounding refurbished phones can discourage potential buyers from considering them. In this article, we aim to debunk five common myths about refurbished phones. Let's separate fact from fiction and explore why refurbished phones are a smart choice for business and personal use.
Myth 1: Refurbished phones are not reliable
Reality: Refurbishing a phone involves rigorous testing, repairs, and replacements of faulty components. At LKS, we partner with refurbishing companies who ensure all phones meet strict quality standards before being sold to customers. Infact, these devices often undergo additional testing compared to new phones, reducing the likelihood of any defect.
Myth 2: Refurbished phones have outdated software.
Reality: Refurbished phones are typically restored to their original factory settings, which includes updating the software to the latest available version. In fact, refurbished phones may even receive software upgrades that were released after the initial device launch.
Myth 3: Refurbished phones have a short lifespan.
Reality: The lifespan of a refurbished phone is comparable to that of a new phone. The refurbishment process addresses any hardware issues and replaces worn-out components, giving the device a new lease on life. When properly cared for, a refurbished phone can serve you just as long as a brand-new one.
Myth 4: Refurbished phones lack customer support and after-sales service.
Reality: At LKS, we partner with refurbishing companies who understand the importance of customer support and after-sales service. Our partners provide assistance (e-mail/chat/phone) to solve technical issues, and process warranty claims.
Myth 5: Refurbished phones are visibly damaged and cosmetically inferior.
Reality: Refurbished phones sourced by LKS undergo thorough cosmetic inspections and refurbishment processes. The devices are graded, defects repaired and cleaned to restore their appearance. While some refurbished phones may have minor signs of previous use, such as light scratches or wear on the casing, they are often indistinguishable from new phones once they are in a protective case. Additionally, we also offer different cosmetic grades, allowing you to choose a device that suits your preferences and budget.
When it comes to refurbished phones, the myths surrounding their reliability, software, lifespan, customer support, and appearance are just that—myths. Refurbished devices sourced by LKS offer the same performance, functionality, and reliability as new phones at a significantly lower cost.
