The condition of the phones are split into different grades to help you understand what to expect when you buy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/mobile-phones\/\">refurbished phones<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/mobile-phones\/\">cheap phones<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<h3>What do the refurbished grades mean?<\/h3>\r\n<p>At musicMagpie, we have a clear grading system for the phones we sell. This gives our customers a clear indication of what the phone will look like more than anything, as all of the devices are in full working order. So, we sell devices in:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/mobile-phones\/?filter=grade:Pristine\">Pristine<\/a> condition<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/mobile-phones\/?filter=grade:Very%5C%20Good\">Very good<\/a> condition<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/mobile-phones\/?filter=grade:Good\">Good<\/a> condition<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>This can also be split into grade A for Pristine, grade B for Very Good and grade C for Good condition. All our devices work as they should, but the visual aspect will vary.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Pristine<\/h2>\r\n<p>A pristine device is the closest you can get to a new phone without paying the price!<\/p>\r\n<h2>Very Good<\/h2>\r\n<p>A very good condition device will only show <strong>light <\/strong>signs of wear and tear, but overall, it\u2019ll be in really good cosmetic condition. You\u2019ll hardly be able to tell it\u2019s refurbished!<\/p>\r\n<h2>Good<\/h2>\r\n<p>A good condition device will have <strong>moderate <\/strong>signs of wear and tear. There may be a scratch or two on the casing that would show it\u2019s a refurbished device, but this is usually something that can be hidden by a phone cover.<\/p>\r\n<p>As the conditions improve, the price for the device will also increase. So, if you have a tighter budget and aren\u2019t fussed about a few scuffs on the body of the phone \u201d\u201c opt for good condition and invest in a good cover. If you\u2019re into your tech and want the latest devices in the best possible condition, you\u2019ll want to go for pristine.<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>There you have it!
