What is an inspected device on Mehfoz?
When a listing is inspected, a trained inspector physically examines the phone and documents what they find. The result is an inspection report attached to the listing, so instead of relying only on the seller’s description and photos, you can review an independent assessment of the device’s real condition at the time of inspection.
What the inspection covers
- ✓IMEI and PTA status verification.
- ✓Overall physical condition of the body and frame.
- ✓Screen quality — touch response, brightness and visible damage.
- ✓Battery health.
- ✓Face ID or fingerprint sensor.
- ✓Cameras, microphone and speakers.
- ✓Charging port and network connectivity.
- ✓Signs of replaced or non-original parts.
Why inspected phones reduce risk
Most used-phone disputes come from things a buyer could not see before paying — a tired battery, a swapped screen, or hidden water damage. An inspection brings these details into the open before money changes hands. While no check can predict the future, an inspection gives you a clear, documented picture of the device’s condition when it was examined.
How to request an inspection
If a listing you like has not been inspected yet, you can request an inspection on supported listings. Once completed, the report becomes part of the listing. You can also combine inspection with Buy with Protection for an even safer purchase.
Inspected phone vs a normal listing
A normal listing relies on the seller’s own description and photos. An inspected listing adds an independent report and an “Inspected Device” badge, which helps you compare options and choose with more certainty — particularly for higher-value phones.
