How To Buy a Used Smartphone or Mobile Phone

Buying a used mobile phone can save you a lot of money, but it also involves a few risks—like making sure it’s in good condition and that it isn’t stolen. Here are some tips from our experts in the used computer and mobile market UAE.

Smartphone makers release new models every year. Since people always have the itch to upgrade, you can get a great deal on a used smartphone as long as you’re willing to stay behind the cutting edge. Still, buying a used smartphone means you have to do your due diligence. For one, the warranty is usually out of the question, or it will at least be significantly reduced. Second, you need to ensure everything is working correctly. And finally, based on these, you have to get the right price.

The point of buying a used smartphone is to get a good price, so you need to put in a little research first. To get the best deal, you need to see how many people are selling that smartphone right now and at what price. To do that, search for the handset in all stores on jnp.ae. You will come across enough listings, but there are a few things to note:

1. Make sure it’s unlocked. Many stores in UAE are selling locked smartphones, which cost a little less than what you would look for but you have to unlock them to use!
2. Don’t note the median price, note the prices of what you are looking for. Used mobile phone come in various levels of condition, so you need to actually click those links and read the description to know whether the condition meets what you are looking for. Once you find such items, note their prices as that’s what your preference is, not items that are in better or worse condition.
3. Check the price of what a new phone costs with similar specifications. If you’re buying a one-year-old smartphone for a price where you can get a similar new phone, the deal isn’t worth it because you lose out on the warranty.
4. Make sure all the accessories are intact. If they aren’t, find out what it would cost you to buy each accessory and use that as a bargaining chip to reduce the price.

It pays to think like a smartphone seller when you are looking to buy. Our article on selling a smartphone has a rundown of how to consider things like product cycles, location, age and condition to figure out the price of a device. The same things hold true for the buyer.
