Demo, CPO, New & Refurbished Devices
What are Demo, Certified Pre-owned (CPO), New and Refurbished Smartphones?
Demo Smartphones are no different to brand new phones but are sold up to 40% cheaper than buying a new phone. We sell Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Sony demo phones that for one reason or another have been out of their packaging at some point in time, box damaged, factory seconds or customer “14 day” returns. They are in like-new condition with minimal / no marks or scratches and are fully functional and performing like new. They come in their original box (unless its condition was unsuitable a plain box will be provided) and contain all Original parts and unless specified all the original unused accessories. Their batteries are unused with 100% capacity as good as new. The only difference from a brand new phone is the box has been opened and the manufacturer warranty may not be claimed. All Demo phones are sold with a Techexchange 6-month warranty and 7 day guarantee will ensure you are covered in the event of any hardware faults not caused by physical or liquid damage.
These are Not Display phones you find inside a cellphone store. They function and perform 100% as a brand new phone would. All Demo phones have undergone an extensive functionality and quality assessment before they go out for sale. Very seldom something can still go wrong, just let us know immediately and we’ll sort it out ASAP. Demo smartphones are not always the cheapest but they are a premium class above certified pre-owned, used second-hand and refurbished devices. We sell them cheaper because they aren’t brand new but we assure you they are working and look like new. Buy a Demo phone to not only save cash but to buy a quality product, we promise you will be happy, see our amazing Reviews on Google, Hello Peter and BidorBuy where we also sell and from past customers at the bottom of our Home page.
