Grading Standards
Every device we sell is inspected, tested, and graded using a rigorous multi-point system. Our grades give you complete confidence in what you're purchasing — no surprises.
Our Process
How We Grade Every Device
Each unit goes through a standardized inspection process before it receives a grade. We evaluate cosmetics, functionality, and battery health independently — so you always know exactly what you're getting.
Grades are assigned at the individual device level, not the SKU level. Two units of the same model may receive different grades depending on their condition.
