Buying a used device can save you some money, but can also come with a few risks, like making sure it's in good condition and that it isn't stolen. Smartphone manufacturers launch new models every year. A fundamental characteristic of an enthusiast is the willingness to upgrade their devices, you can get a fantastic deal on a used smartphone as long as you're willing to forego the cutting edge.

Still, buying a used smartphone means you have to do your due diligence. Often, a warranty is usually out of the equation. Second, you need to ensure everything is working correctly. And finally, based on these, you have to get the right price there are somethings every buyer wants to verify before deciding to buy a used smartphone:

Unlocked: Every buyer wants to be sure the device is unlocked. Jiji and other online marketplace have plenty of people selling locked smartphones, which cost a little less than what you would look for.
Cost-Benefit: Check the price of what a new phone costs with similar specifications. If the cost of buying a one-year-old smartphone for a price where you can get a similar new phone, the deal isn't worth it because you lose out on warranty.
Accessories: Every buyer wants to be sure the accessories are intact. If they aren't, they will find out what it would cost to buy each accessory and use that as a bargaining chip to reduce the price.


Where to Buy
Figuring out where to buy a used smartphone can be pretty tough. Often it is best to buy in-person since you might want to inspect the phone—but you'll get a much better selection buying online. Some may also consider trying a Social Network or Online marketplace with a reputable store.

Inspecting a Used Smartphone
Once the seller hands you the phone, typically the first thing is to run a bunch of checks. Physical inspections will include: watching for damage on the body (dents and scratches) or water damage. Suppose it is a unibody phone (like iPhones) where the battery can't be removed. In that case, the water damage indicator is usually placed in the SIM card slot. The best way to find out the place of the indicator on the model is to google it.
You may also want to check all the ports. Pop a headphone into the device and check if they are working. Connect a charger cable to your laptop and see if it's charging by that port. If it charges with the laptop, it's going to charge by wall socket. Then some basic check with the packaged accessories too.
The software test will typically start by inserting a SIM card to make a call, send a text, and browse a website. It is the best way to check those parts of the phone are working well. If the phone is locked to a particular network and a SIM is from the carrier, you will find out immediately with this simple test.
Extra checks will include running the service code test. Every smartphone has a service code that you can use to access a special menu to check whether different parts of the phone are running. Google it to find the one for your device. For example, typing "*300*#12345#*" (without the quotes) on an iPhone will take you to a field mode test.
