With the cost of buying a brand-new smartphone these days, it's no wonder that more and more people are opting for refurbished models instead. But is a refurbished phone really a good deal? Let's take a look at the pros and cons of buying a refurbished phone to help you make an informed decision.
What is a Refurbished Phone?
A refurbished phone is one that has been returned to the manufacturer or retailer and then gone through a rigorous inspection process. Once any necessary repairs have been made, the phone is cleaned and tested to ensure it meets all quality standards. The phone is then repackaged with all and sold at a discounted price.
Benefits of Buying a Refurbished Phone
There are several benefits to buying a refurbished phone, including:
1. You can save money. One of the biggest benefits of buying a refurbished phone is that you can save a significant amount of money off the retail price of a brand-new phone.
2. You're getting a high-quality product. Just because you're not paying full price for a phone doesn't mean you're getting a second-rate product. In fact, our refurbished phones are guaranteed to be as good as new phones, and here at MOQUO, we'll give you a 12-month warranty. You can read about it here, for your peace of mind.
3. You're helping the environment. When you buy a refurbished phone, you're keeping another phone out of landfill sites. And since most phones contain harmful toxins like lead and cadmium, that's good for the environment!
So, as you can see, there are several advantages to buying a refurbished phone. The most obvious is the cost savings. A new flagship phone can easily set you back £1,000 or more, while even a high-end refurbished model will usually cost significantly less. That means you can get a great phone for much less money.

Is there a downside?
Of course, there are has to be a potential drawback to buying a refurbished phone. The only real one is that you may not be able to get the exact model or colour you want.
