Product grades

What Excellent, Good and Fair mean, with example photos for each grade.

How we grade

Graded by Optiline, not by eye

A person grading by eye can give the same scratch two different grades. Optiline uses cameras and robotics to check every surface against a fixed specification, so Excellent means the same thing on every device.

Reconext uses the same system in the refurbishment programs it runs for global device makers.

All Grades

All Devices are fully functional with Battery Health exceeding 80%. All Devices come with charging cables and the necessary parts for regular, uninterrupted use as if they were bought brand new. All Devices have had all systems thoroughly tested by a carrier authorized service provider.

Excellent Grade

Excellent Grade (A Grade) devices show very minimal signs of use. Excellent Grade devices have pristine screens with no scratches or scuffs. The sides/back may have very light scratches, scuffs, or paint imperfections but otherwise flawless.
