How to Test a Refurbished Phone Before You Resell It

Reselling refurbished devices? A quick, consistent test protects your reputation and cuts returns. Run this checklist on every unit.

Power & display

Boot the device; check for dead pixels, lines, touch response edge-to-edge, and true-tone/brightness.

Battery health

Confirm battery health and that it holds charge. Report the percentage.

Cameras & sensors

Test front/rear cameras, flash, proximity, gyroscope, and Face ID/Touch ID.

Connectivity

Check Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular (SIM), speakers, mics, and charging.

Clean & reset

Factory reset, remove any account locks, and grade the cosmetic condition (A/B/C). See our Device Grading.
