There are some things that fans don't like to talk about, but anyone who knows us knows that we're not made of that stuff. Even the manufacturer doesn't say much, and the online stores especially don't, that you can buy a Xiaomi device, not just a phone, that has been returned with a factory defect or came out of the factory with a defect and has been repaired to factory quality by a specialist service centre using original or top quality parts.
And then let's talk about for whom and why is it worth it? These devices come from a reliable source, if you can find them in a reliable shop. These stores can be MM, ED, etc. and even Mi Store! If the selling company is honest, they will indicate this on the product and on the price tag with the corresponding 30-50%-k discount from the original price. Products purchased from here will either come with a full warranty or at least 50%. Everything can be sold and everything will be sold so that you are left with at least a small bump, but not a bite. But! There are some stores, be they web or off-line, that do not do these. True they advertise it as new, claim it in the shops and charge full price for it and the customer doesn't even know they are paying full price for a second hand or refurbished item. Such are the Pistike GSM shop, we will not write specific names!
Benefits of refurbished appliances:
- Even though it is a refurbished product, the parts replaced are of high quality or factory parts
- If you buy from a known, safe place, you can be sure of quality and guarantee
- You can get it for well below the normal shop price
- Recycled phones save the environment because they end up in the bin instead of in your hands
Disadvantages of a refurbished appliance:
- Despite quality or factory parts, problems may occur
- If you know what you're buying, you'll never have a new phone feeling
- If you buy from a place you don't know, you're likely to be cheated
- It may look nice and aesthetic on the outside, but there may be something wrong on the inside
So, what do you think? Would you buy a refurbished Xiaomi product?
