How to choose the best used phone
A great second-hand buy comes down to condition and honesty more than the badge on the back. Focus on these before you decide.
- ✓Battery health — the single biggest factor in how a used phone feels day to day; ask for the exact percentage.
- ✓PTA status — confirm PTA approved or non-PTA and verify the IMEI, so there are no surprise costs later.
- ✓Physical condition — check the screen for cracks or dead pixels and the frame for signs of a heavy drop.
- ✓Originality — ask whether the screen, battery or cameras have been replaced, as non-original parts affect performance and resale.
- ✓Seller and support — a Verified Seller, an available inspection and Buy with Protection all reduce your risk.
