What Does the Grade of a Refurbished Phone Mean?

When we talk about refurbished phones, we’re not just referring to devices that have been tested and optimized for resale—we also differentiate their cosmetic and functional condition. To give customers complete clarity about the state of the device they’re purchasing, we classify refurbished phones into different grades, ensuring transparency and trust throughout the buying process.

At 360 Móviles, all our devices go through strict quality controls to guarantee they work like new. However, their external appearance may vary depending on the grade assigned. Below, we explain each of the refurbishment grades you may come across.

Excellent Grade – Like New (Grade A)

If you're looking for a phone that’s virtually indistinguishable from a brand-new one, the Excellent Grade (A) is for you.

Cosmetic condition: Barely any signs of use. It may have a few micro-scratches that are invisible to the naked eye, but no dents or noticeable marks.

Functionality: 100% optimal, with all components tested and in perfect working condition.

Battery: In excellent shape, with at least 90% of its original capacity.

This grade is ideal for those who want a device in flawless condition at a more affordable price than a brand-new phone.

Very Good Grade (Grade B)

Grade B phones are a perfect choice for those who want great value for money without worrying too much about minor cosmetic imperfections.

Cosmetic condition: May show slight signs of use, such as small scratches on the casing or screen, but no cracks or structural damage.

Functionality: Fully tested and guaranteed, with performance identical to that of a brand-new device.

Battery: In good condition, with at least 85% of its original capacity.

This grade is ideal if you prioritize performance over external appearance, getting a fully functional phone at an even more competitive price.

Good Grade (Grade C)

If your top priority is price and you don’t mind visible signs of use, the Good Grade (C) is a smart choice.

Cosmetic condition: May have visible scratches on the screen or casing, as well as signs of wear on the edges, but no cracks or structural issues.

Functionality: 100% fully functional, with thorough hardware and software testing completed.

Battery: In proper condition, with at least 80% of its original capacity.

This grade is ideal for those who want to save even more without compromising on a functional, quality device.
