Lazyreporta:
Buy it.. Refurbished no be fake o.

It's a return or repackaged phone.

It's not look alike, it's still the original phone but was return due to one issue or the other, so they fix it and repackage it.
That's why it's refurbished. E no mean fake phone as we commonly reason am in naija

What is a refurbished phone?
A refurbished phone is not like a normal second-hand phone. It may have been returned by a customer for having a fault that the manufacturer has then repaired and sold it on as a refurb.

The customer may have sold it back to the retailer or phone company so they can upgrade. Or if you're really lucky, they may simply have changed their minds and returned it unused, in which case you'll essentially have a brand new phone but for less.

Before it's sold on, the manufacturer or retailer will check it, repair it and ensure it is up to a certain standard. Then they will sell it to you, although probably without the standard box or accessories you get with a new handset.

Not all manufacturers sell refurbished phones but a retailer will have a similarly high standard of refurbishment and it should tell you if the phone is not ‘as new'. Sometimes, these handsets are referred to as 'refreshed' or 'reconditioned'.

So what are the pros and cons of a refurbished phone, and is one right for you?

Pros

It's cheaper. A lot cheaper. A refurbished phone can save you hundreds of pounds upfront or over the lifetime of the contract.
It's been professionally checked and repaired, unlike a typical second-hand phone.
There will be a warranty period (although it's important to check how long).
It's more affordable if you want to buy the phone outright and use a cheaper, less restrictive SIM-only or pay-as-you-go contract.
As well as extensive testing, the company has to wipe any data left by the previous owner or risk falling foul of the Data Protection Act.
Cons

You'll have to wait for the next top model. If you want the very latest release, there are unlikely to be many on the refurbished market immediately and it may take a few months before one becomes available.
You may not be able to insure it. That said, some insurers will happily cover a refurbed phone, so it's worth shopping around. If you have phone insurance as part of a packaged current account then double check the small print.
The warranty will almost certainly be shorter than with a new phone.
Depending on the grade of refurbishment, the handset could have scratches and scuff marks.

You talk like a fool . Don't mistake refurbished phones with generic clone phones.

Refurbished are phones used by users but returned for one reason or the other ...maybe mic isn't working properly or earpiece isn't work or antenna isn't working.

Phone brands ship those kind of phones to for fixing and repacked again as a refurbished.

Used phones that the body is gone but the motherboards is good can also be refurbished by changing new packs.

Next time before u talk rubbish try making sense at all

I've used a couple of refurbished phones. They are the same original phones but cheaper. Here's why:

Refurbished phones are phones that developed a fault during or after mass production. Manufacturers fix this problem and send back to the market but at a discount.

Infact, alot of "Belgium" phones we use in the country are actually refurbished. Sometimes, the fault of the problem isn't anything serious and the mobile device would function neatly. But, if you're unlucky, the presumably fixed problem could resurface.

So, you're practically gambling!

Refurbished phones are substandard versions of phones. They shouldn't be called refurbished, they should be called fake.
A refurbished phone of 64gb will take files of 2gb and be crying of low memory space. A refurbished 50mp camera has a clarity of 8mp.

Refurbished is for the less privileged.
