What Is a Refurbished Phone?
A refurbished phone is a pre-owned device that has been fully tested, repaired, deep cleaned, and certified to perform like new — then sold at up to 50% less than retail. At RefurbXpress, we specialize in premium refurbished iPhones and smartphones that are guaranteed, data-wiped, and backed by warranty.
This is smart tech — rebuilt, inspected, sustainable, and ready for its next owner.
From Used to Refurbished — The 5-Step Restoration
1. Collection & Inspection
We source pre-owned iPhones and smartphones from trusted suppliers, then
inspect every device to make sure it’s worth restoring.
2. Diagnosis & Testing
Each phone goes through a 70+ point diagnostic check:
battery health, display quality, audio, camera, buttons, ports, signal and performance.
3. Repair & Component Replacement
Any failing parts are replaced or repaired by trained technicians using certified components.
4. Deep Clean & Secure Data Wipe
We sanitize the device, remove all previous data, and return it to factory settings for total privacy.
5. Grading & Certification
We grade each phone. Only phones that pass final QA are sold as
RefurbXpress Certified.

Refurbished Phone Questions, Answered
Still not sure? Here are the most common questions we get about buying a refurbished phone instead of a new one.
Are refurbished phones reliable?
Yes. Every RefurbXpress device passes 70+ tests, is cleaned, repaired, and certified before we list it. If it doesn’t pass, we don’t sell it.
Do refurbished phones look used?
Grades A+ and A are almost indistinguishable from new. Grade B may have light marks, but always 100% functional. You see the grade before you buy.
What’s the difference between “used” and “refurbished”?
“Used” means sold as-is. “Refurbished” means professionally tested, repaired, data-wiped, cleaned, graded, and guaranteed.
Can I return it if I don’t like it?
Absolutely. We include warranty and a return period because we stand behind the quality of every device.
