Many companies now offer previously owned, repaired or refurbished mobile phones with lower price as compare to the newer ones. A refurbished mobile phone is something that the mobile phone is returned by a dealer or by a customer to the company due to some fault, manufacturing defect or some other reasons. Refurbished phones are checked thoroughly for their defect or damaged and then fully repaired testing all the parameters one more time.
Many times, refurbished mobile phones have been used only for a very short duration. They may come with new warranty in some cases. Some of the mobile phone companies refurbished their models just to give new looks with low price and therefore it makes excellent deal for the purchaser. Other refurbished mobile phones are just used cell phones, which have been subjected to diagnostic and quality assurance tests and then reconstructed to have attractive appearance.
On the other hand, repaired mobile phones are the phones that had its problem fixed and it is not always possible for them to be under warranty. They may or may not be cleaned up totally. Nowadays, the market for the mobile phones is blooming and innumerable new design and models are manufactured daily. The system and configurations get updated and therefore, the trend is changing that one should purchase the new mobile phone if the older one gets spoiled or damaged rather than giving it for repairing. Repairing the mobile phone is time consuming and also expensive as many mobile companies come with the new economical models with lower prices.
