When it comes to grading the Used, Secondhand and Refurbished Devices we understand that this can be difficult. So we use a few combined methods to get it right as possible

a) Each grade needs to fit a specification grade list 
b) Each phone is assessed by at least 3 technicians and finally graded by our quality assurance team.

Grades
 Pristine' The device should be in Pristine condition. If there are signs of use (if any) these must represent minute scuffs that cannot be seen from 12 inches away
We also have the Pristine Pack A hand picked device in 'as new' condition bundled with accessories including bluetooth headset , charger etc

''Excellent' A device considered to be in Excellent condition by technicians with only slight signs of use. No deep scratches on screen with minor/minimal scuffs limited to the casing

''Good' A device that you would expect to show signs of average usage but no cracks or missing parts and in great working order.  

Devices with conditions outside of the above will have explicit details in description
All devices are tested using Handtec's unique diagnostic software which also wipes all data seen and hidden in cache
