How Are Refurbished Devices Different From Second-Hand Ones?

The options offered for those who want to save some money outside of the sales.

For many, with Christmas and New Year comes the time to re-equip the technological section of the home, if it has not been done previously on dates such as Black Friday or Cyber ​​​​​Monday, with interesting proposals in the section of second-hand equipment and reconditioned devices.

These terms may not be familiar to many in the face of discounts offered by brands. However, the options offered by these teams can be interesting for those who want to save some money outside of the sales. There are many establishments and brands that offer  reconditioned tablets, phones or laptops, which users sometimes mistakenly take for second-hand products.

A  new product is one that has never left its original packaging since it left the factory and was offered for sale by an establishment or distributor. It is the user who is responsible for unsealing it and giving it use. In the event that you are not satisfied with its appearance or how it works, you can return it within the corresponding period (which is usually 30 days).

REFURBISHED OR SECOND HAND?

If these devices are returned and the store decides to put them up for sale again, they would either be refurbished or second-hand.

The main difference between one and the other is that to sell it as reconditioned, you must go through a testing process  to determine that it is working correctly and is in the ideal condition. To do this, technicians and professionals specialized in technology are responsible for setting up the device, such as a mobile phone.

Generally, this family of reconditioned 'smartphones' for exhibition or commercial samples,  which have been used only to check their operation.

As the name implies, the device goes through a reconditioning process that is intended to make it appear as if it has never been used. Therefore, if necessary, we proceed to change the screen in case it is damaged or the case. Both the product and its accessories (headphones, USB cables, chargers ...) are thoroughly cleaned to give a new feeling,  files are deleted  and it is returned to its original configuration as long as applications have been downloaded.

This review also takes into account the health of the battery. If necessary, it is also changed. This is one of the reasons why there are some reconditioned products and others that can only be purchased second-hand.

Because technology is constantly evolving, it is sometimes very difficult to recondition an older mobile phone due  to the lack of components, which is why they are often sold second-hand. That is, without going through that reconditioning process.

Once tuned, with the  repair of damaged parts or the replacement of some parts, they undergo further tests to determine if they work correctly.

In addition to its near-new appearance and detailed review, many users choose to buy a refurbished product over a second-hand product because the former include a warranty. In this way, if users find any anomaly during its use, they can claim it from the technical service and the seller has the obligation to repair it free of charge as long as it is within the term.In this way, users of reconditioned devices have the ability to save over a new factory terminal, but are not at risk of being out of warranty if it fails.

As for second-hand devices, in accordance with the aforementioned, they  are also equipment that has been previously used  until the moment when buyers decide to sell it, usually at a lower price. When purchased by an establishment that is dedicated to the sale of used devices, it must work correctly, but it does not have to present the appearance that a device would have left the factory.

Unlike reconditioned ones, second-hand ones are  not functionally tested  or damaged components replaced, not even your battery. They are sold at a lower price than refurbished, but do not offer a warranty between individuals.

THE APPLE ALTERNATIVE

Given the shortage of technology derived from the current component crisis, refurbished devices have become an interesting alternative for many users.

Apple, for example, is one of the brands that has made the decision to sell renewed versions of its own products. Among the products that it certifies as such are the iPad Pro, the iPhone 11 Pro or the MacBook Air.

The brand offers  discounts of up to 271 euros on the refurbished 256GB iPhone 13 Pro Max, so that instead of spending 1,320 euros, users can choose this option for 1,049 euros. Something similar happens with the reconditioned 13.3-inch MacBook Pro, whose final price is 1,229 euros (220 euros are reduced from the 1,449 euros if it is new).

As the brand indicates on its website, all of them can be financed, are like new and have a one-year warranty, as well as Apple's commitment to refurbished or certified products.
