My personal experience to buy second hand phones.
It’s not bad to buy second hand phones, but yes in my personal experience if you buy any second hand phone then don’t expect that it will work well more than a year.I buyed this samsung duos phone given in photo, as six month used at rs500, as it worked well when it came to me, so within three months it started getting slow and some keys didn’t work, and its was my spare one, so I didn’t used much. I buyed it just to have another phone with me to call and long battery life.So I will give you tips on buying second hand phone
: -1) First if you have money to buy new phone then don’t invest in second hand phones as you will not know how was it used, sometimes the seller temporarily fixes the phone and sell it, so after some time it get broke again, so your money would be wasted.
2) Always buy after using the phone, if its possible ask the seller to give you the phone for an hour or couple of hours.
3) Their are several applications to do internal testing of phones, install them and then test the phone you wanna buy.
4) Install the heaviest software the phone can take according to its hardware to test it’s performance.
5) Don’t invest more than 45% amount of the new phone that you are buying second hand.
6) Always check the bill of the phone, don’t go on the words of the seller
.7) Check the battery usage, and check whether all ports and functions on the phone are working or not.
8) Check for dents, and ask questions to customer about why he is selling phone.So these were some tips you should consider before buying second hand phone.
