Understanding Refurbished Grades
At Reboot IT, we offer two cosmetic grades to suit different preferences and budgets. Excellent grade smartphones appear virtually like new with only very minor wear—screens may have light, shallow scratches that won't catch on a fingernail, and the body shows minimal signs of use. Good grade devices are fully functional and tested but display more visible signs of previous use, such as body scratches, possible small paint chips, or light screen scratching from regular wear. Regardless of grade, every device undergoes the same rigorous testing process to ensure complete functionality.
