Refurbished (Certified Refurbished)
Operations
A refurbished device is a used electronic product that has been inspected, repaired as necessary, cleaned, and tested to a defined standard before being resold - typically with a limited warranty.
The term “certified refurbished” implies a formal quality process and is used by major platforms and OEM programmes (Apple Certified Refurbished, Samsung Certified Re-Newed). Non-certified refurbished devices are graded and resold by independent refurbishers without OEM certification. Refurbished devices typically sell at 30-60% below the new retail price, depending on model age, grade, and market conditions.
