Pre-owned cell phones are increasingly a trend worldwide. It's easy to see why... The consumer can purchase a pre-owned smartphone 40% cheaper than a new one but with the same quality in terms of product.
But what is a used cell phone?
The term ?pre-owned?, when associated with smartphones, is frequently and wrongly confused with the idea of ???used?, ?second-hand? or even ?refurbished?.
While used/second-hand cell phones have already been used by a consumer and refurbished ones have already suffered some damage or reconditioning with other parts, pre-owned smartphones are those that have been removed from the its original box and placed on display in a store, for example, showing low signs of use. Another distinguishing factor is the fact that used cars, before being put up for sale, go through a rigorous condition assessment process by a specialized company, allowing their condition to be assessed and ensuring the highest quality for the end consumer. In general, a pre-owned smartphone has the same characteristics as a new one, with the exception of having already been removed from the box and put on display. In terms of costs, a used car can be purchased for a price 40% cheaper than a new one.
The growth of this new market in Portugal has had an impact on the consumption of smartphones and has become a more accessible alternative to purchasing premium technology. The price-quality ratio is the factor that matters most to 87% of consumers of this type of smartphone.
Our Smartphones
In the case of Forall Phones, our smartphones are pre-owned because, as previously mentioned, they are devices that are used for a short period of time or are displayed in stores.
Sustainability
Choosing to buy a pre-owned cell phone has a positive impact on the environment! International studies indicate that although most smartphones have a useful life of around 7 years, most people do not use them for more than 18 months. More than saving money, opting for pre-owned smartphones also allows you to combat technological waste. By giving a second life to equipment in perfect condition and reducing levels of electronic pollution, Forall Phones contributes to a more sustainable development of the environment.
