Phone Condition 

These are the 5 conditions Smartfones classifies phones as. Individual condition of a phone is up for interpretation however Smartfones holds the ultimate right to classify the phone as we see it.

  • New: This refers to brand new, never been used and in perfect condition
  • Excellent: This is the best condition you can reasonably expect for a used phone. The phone will be mostly free of any scratches or cosmetic defects.
  • Good: This condition will show some signs of wear but overall still a high quality phone. There may be small dents or scratches present but nothing major.
  • Fair: This condition indicates the phone is well used and shows significant signs of wear and tear. All the functions of the phone are working however cosmetically there are scratches and dents visible in multiple areas.

If you do not agree with the valuation of the phones condition you can return the phone on a purchase within 7 days or if you are selling your phone we will return the phone to you at no cost.
