Understanding Demo Phones: Everything You Need to Know Before Buying
In the world of smartphones, the term “demo phone” often pops up, leaving many consumers curious about what exactly it entails and whether it’s a good buy. At Techexchange, we believe in transparency and empowering our customers with knowledge. So, let’s dive into what demo phones are all about.
What are Demo Phones?
Firstly Techexchange Demo phones, are NOT phones that were used for display or demonstration purposes in retail stores, those are actually called dummy phones.
Our Demo phones are brand new phones where the box had been opened and could not be resold as brand new. We source them directly from the Cellular Networks and Manufacturers. They are in brand new condition and contain all their original parts, box and accessories and are unlocked and open to all South African networks. All Demo phones have undergone an extensive functionality assessment and are performing like new. Battery capacity are 100% and as New. We sell them with a Techexchange 6 month warranty and 7 day guarantee to ensure your Demo phone is covered in the event of any hardware faults not caused by damage.
Key Characteristics of Demo Phones
- Condition: Demo phones are in pristine cosmetic condition and as good as brand new phones with all their original parts.
- Usage: They may have been powered on and briefly used but show minimal to no signs of use and their batteries are still 100% capacity as new.
- Accessories: They include all original accessories, although the newer models no longer include headphones or charging adapter, the same as a brand-new purchase and may only include the original charging cable.
- Warranty: Demo phones, depending on the age the model was released may still contain their original manufacturer warranty but we cannot confirm this and instead offer a 6 month Techexchange warranty to ensure that you are covered in case of any hardware or software faults not caused by damage. As we only sell the best brands in Demo phones including Apple, Samsung and Huawei they are reliable and the best quality phones. If there was an underlying issue it would present itself within the first week of usage but we mitigate this extensively testing every demo phone before sending them to you. Issues can still occur and while we have a less than 1% return rate we guarantee and promise you the best service to ensure you are a happy customer.
Why Choose a Demo Phone?
- Cost-Effective: One of the most significant advantages of purchasing a demo phone is cost savings. These devices are priced up to 40% less than their brand-new counterparts, offering an opportunity to own a high-quality smartphone at a more affordable price.
- Quality Assurance: Demo phones extensively tested and assessed to ensure they meet the highest quality standards before being sold. This ensures they function 100% as a new device.
- Environmental Impact: By opting for a demo phone, you contribute to reducing electronic waste. Extending the life cycle of electronic devices through resale and reuse is a sustainable choice for conscientious consumers.
Considerations Before Buying
While demo phones offer compelling advantages, it’s essential to consider a few factors before making a purchase from anyone selling used or pre-owned phones.
- Check Warranty and Return Policies: Understand the warranty coverage and return policies to avoid any surprises after purchase.
- Verify Condition: Ensure the phone’s condition meets your expectations by either requesting pictures or reading reviews of the store you are purchasing from.
- Compatibility: Confirm compatibility with your network provider and that the phone is unlocked and runs its intended software.
- Scams: beware when buying from individuals or people you don’t know. Stolen phones can become blacklisted and will no longer work or fraudsters are selling fake and dummy phones that looks 100% but don’t work properly and worse take your money and disappear.
