Regular releases and tempting functionalities of new smartphones from Apple, Samsung and other brands make it sometimes hard to resist buying equipment. However, inflation has made consumer electronics not cheap at all and exchanging a smartphone for a new model can leave a big hole in your wallet. And such purchases are not indifferent to the environment, and this can be a barrier for people who care about the future of the planet. The production and distribution of new smartphones is associated with greenhouse gas emissions and produces a lot of waste.
Fortunately, phone refurbishing, or the art of renovating them, comes to the rescue here. In this post, we will see why it is worth buying a refurbished phone on Cykero, and what benefits are associated with a conscious choice of such a smartphone.
1. Big Savings
Buying a branded phone doesn't have to be expensive at all. One of the main advantages of buying phones on Cykero is the possibility of getting big discounts, compared to buying new phones, directly from the showroom. This allows you to buy a smartphone at a price that is even half as much. This allows you to get a high-end smartphone without significantly reducing your wallet. What's more, budget smartphones are also available at lower prices on Cykero, as well as branded accessories such as Apple Watch smartwatches, AirPods wireless headphones, and even computers. So regardless of whether you are looking for powerful equipment with rich functionality, or you are guided by minimalism in your electronics choices, you will find a refurbished phone for yourself.
2. Reliability and High Quality of Devices
Refurbished phones are not of lower quality at all. Our process of assessing phones and assigning them one of the classes, from A to C, allows you to choose for yourself whether you want a device that looks practically like new, or maybe you don't mind a few scratches on the casing, because price is more important to you. High standardization of these activities, combined with experience in repairs and replacements of parts, means that all the phones we offer are reliably assessed and fulfill their function.
We also put the highest quality into the refurbished equipment we offer. For this purpose, we use only licensed and original parts, cooperating with manufacturers of phones and other consumer electronics. This reduces their failure rate and ensures that the replaced elements will look and work as well as in a new device.
What's more, we provide a guarantee for the phones we sell, which allows buyers to be sure that in the event of problems with the device, they can count on their service or replacement. The best proof of how much our customers trust us is the low level of returns at Cykero. Only 2% of buyers decide to return the phone due to some defect or fault. High satisfaction with purchases makes us one of the leading refurbishing stores and services.
3. Good Environmental Impact
But choosing a refurbished phone isn’t just beneficial for personal reasons. Giving your refurbished device a second life ensures you’re reducing waste and also cutting your carbon footprint.
The production of new electronic devices emits is not neutral for the environment. The largest manufacturers of consumer electronics, such as smartphones, tablets and computers, contribute significantly to the creation of waste and also emit large amounts of greenhouse gases, which is associated with serious consequences for our planet. The world produces 122 thousand tons of electronic waste per day and it is estimated that the production of just one smartphone can emit up to 100 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere. Mass production of electronics will be associated with such adverse effects as landscape degradation, water and soil pollution and the violation of ecosystems.
So, by buying a refurbished phone, you significantly reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to reducing electronic waste. You also save the planet's resources by reducing the extraction of raw materials used in electronics production, such as copper, aluminum or rare elements. This sensible and sustainable approach by choosing refurbished phones can be your brick in working on the future of the earth. Your decision to buy a refurbished phone can be an inspiration to others, showing that it is possible to make conscious choices that have a positive impact on the environment. Together, we can work to reduce the negative impact of electronics production on our planet and support more ecological and sustainable consumption practices.
4. Access to Older Models
Manufacturers of electronic devices are constantly introducing new equipment to the market, guided rather by marketing and sales development, and not necessarily by care for the user. However, new models of smartphones or tablets may be characterized by lower quality, less useful functions, or simply will not suit your appearance. Manufacturers quickly withdraw these older models from the market and it is no longer easy to buy them.
In this case, you are left with buying a device from the secondary market, but the used equipment may simply be worn out and will work faultily. Instead, it is much better to choose a refurbished phone, which will be the perfect solution to this problem. At Cykero, you will receive a refurbished phone equipped with original parts, with our warranty. This, in turn, allows you to gain access to previous models and older devices that will work as if they were taken out of the box, even if several years have passed since their premiere.
5. A Refurbished Phone Doesn't Lose Much of Its Value
New phones quickly lose value once you start using them. However, refurbished phones, available at much lower prices, have already passed this stage and will retain their value much longer. So there is nothing to stop you from selling such a smartphone on Allegro or OLX at a good price over time. Such a phone is therefore potentially a better investment than buying a new smartphone or tablet.
The secondary market is full of customers looking for solid but cheaper devices. Your refurbished phone, which has undergone the refurbishment process and is in good technical condition, will certainly find a buyer. Not only will you put electronics back into circulation, but you may even manage to make money on it.
