Having a set budget for buying a phone may be a smart idea. But when it comes to models with a lot of features, you’re unlikely to be able to get a phone for less than £600. Not so if you shop refurbished, though; here are our top refurbished phones that you can get for under £600.
Why buy a refurbished phone?
First things first, why buy a refurbished phone? In short, refurbished phones are cheaper and better for the environment. If you desire, you can get an older model that might not be sold new anymore, or you can get a new model with many new features for a lot less than if you had to buy it new. Plus, here at the iOutlet, we guarantee quality and give you a 12-month warranty to make sure you’re happy with your purchase.
What affects the price of refurbished phones?
There are various cost factors that determine the price of phones. Here are a few of them:
Storage
Phones have various storage options that usually range between 64 GB and 1 TB. It’s up to you to decide if you can go without the storage and save some money or if you need the extra gigabytes to store apps and files.
Models
It goes without saying that newer, more advanced models are more expensive. However, if you get them refurbished, you can still get them for significantly less than the original price. Or you can get an older, less advanced device for even less; it’s up to you.
Condition
If you don’t mind some wear and tear on your device, you may be able to get a phone for an absolute bargain. However, if you want a clean and shiny device with no signs of wear, don’t worry; plenty of phones are in pristine condition, too.
Here are the phone conditions we offer at the iOutlet:
- A+ Grade: Pristine: In great condition, no signs of wear
- A Grade: Excellent: Minor signs of wear
- B Grade: Good: Some cosmetic damage or scratches.
- C Grade: Significant wear
Note: Regardless of condition, all our phones are still tested to make sure that they work as they should.
