reboxed device grading 1:1

Buying used tech can be very hit and miss. That’s because the grading system most dealers use is too broad, too vague and based on opinion, not data.

We knew that if we wanted to help make buying used and refurbished phones go mainstream we needed to make the whole process safer, smarter – and above all, more scientific. Enter the TechCheck®.

TechCheck® is our 70 point diagnostic test. We use it to inspect and certify every phone before you buy it. We use this intuitive 360-degree technology to check the device's battery health, connectivity, authenticity, functions and whether it’s unlocked - to ensure your phone is in perfect working condition.

Thanks to TechCheck® you can be certain that there is no functional difference between a reboxed refurbished device and a new one.

What’s the difference between a Fair, Great and Premium device?

At reboxed, you can be certain that all of our devices are in full working order - the only difference will be in their cosmetic condition, i.e. what they look like.

We use something called a TechScore to cosmetically grade used devices. Our new science-driven scoring system brings transparency to the grey world of used tech by offering clear, accurate criteria for device quality. To do this, we’ve redesigned the traditional grading system with a data generated score:

Premium:

Rating: 5.0

Description: In near-perfect condition may have minor signs of use.

What to expect:

• Casing: May show some light signs of use.
• Screen: May show some light signs of use.
• Hardware: 100% fully working, tested, checked, and cleaned 
• Battery: All our batteries are at least 80% or more.

Great:

Rating: 4.0

Description: May show some general signs of use but in good condition..  

What to expect:

• Casing: May show some small scratches and marks.
• Screen: May have some signs of use you can't see when the screen is on.
• Hardware: 100% fully working, tested, checked, and cleaned  
• Battery: All our batteries are at least 80% or more.

Fair:

Rating: 3.0

Description: May show some noticeable wear and tear but works perfectly.

What to expect:

• Casing: May have some signs of moderate use including scratches and small indentations.
• Screen: May have visible signs of use hardly noticeable when the screen is turned on.
• Hardware: 100% fully working, tested, checked, and cleaned 
• Battery: All our batteries are at least 80% or more.

Our Fair condition devices are also the lowest in price - so if you aren’t too worried about a scuff or scratch and looking for a good deal, then definitely give them a go!
