Review, Prices and Tech Tips on Uk Used Phones in Nigeria 2023/2024

While most people believe that used phones are not reliable, many others will only buy used phones, because, for some reason, they think that used phones are even stronger than the new ones.

While there is no scientific research to back up this assumption, we agree that using phones is not a bad idea.

The most common, and some will say, reliable kind of used phones are the UK used phones. This is because it is generally known that foreigners handle their phones better.

Another reason is the fact that the latest phones are easily made available in the market. For example, the iPhone 11 just came out, but wait for the next few months, and you will notice that the UK-used iPhone 11 is already in the market.

So, for these reasons, more people prefer to buy UK-used phones than their Nigerian counterparts.

The most crucial factor behind the UK-used phones is that they are affordable. While the brand new phones may be going for a cutthroat price, the UK used will be much less.

So in this article, I will be sharing tech tips on buying UK-used phones, as well as the reviews and prices of UK-used phones from popular brands.

Tech Tips for UK-Used Phones in Nigeria

One thing most Nigerians are aware of is that if you are not very careful, it is easy for you to fall prey to scams. One of the most common ways by which people are scammed is in the purchase of phones.

Before venturing into the market to buy any UK used phones, be sure that it is from a very reliable source. You want to buy your phone from a place where you can quickly return it in case of a technical malfunction.

Apart from being able to return the phone, there should also be room for a replacement of the device or a refund of your money.

So you see that if you are not careful with where you buy your UK used phones, these options may be non-existent.

Phone condition is of utmost importance: take your time to check the condition of the phone. The physical conditions like the screen, visible scratches on the surface/body, etc., must never be overlooked.

The fact that you are buying an already used phone does not mean you are not entitled to phones in good condition. After all, you are paying decent money for your phone. So scan the item properly, before making payments.

The non-physical body part of the phone like the battery, storage, RAM, headphone, speaker, and so on, must also be adequately accessed. While you cannot access these with your eyes, there are always ways of checking.

Check the battery strength, power button, SIM card slot, and keypad, to see if they are in good condition, play a ringtone and make a call, to be sure the speaker is in good condition.

You can also check for the phone storage in the phone settings.

Before buying the UK used phones, confirm prices from as many stores as you can. While you may not necessarily go for the cheapest store amount, this will give you an idea of what to expect when you are finally ready to purchase your phone.

Also, it is always acceptable to bargain. You can try to bargain the price and see if a thousand or two can be knocked down for you, although some stores already have their standard set prices.

Just like with many other used items, used phones come in different grades. There are premium used phones which are of excellent quality but cost a little more than normal-grade phones. So the choice is yours.

Another important tip on buying UK used phones is that you must compare the price of the new one with the used one. If the difference is not so much, then it may make more sense to purchase the new.

The logic behind the UK-used phones is that they cost much less than their brand counterpart, so it does not make a lot of sense if the difference between new and used is just very little.

But all in all, you know your budget and should choose whatever works for you.

Reviewing New Phones With UK Used 

Most UK-used phones do not come with accessories like battery chargers, earphones, and screen guards.

So, you have to prepare to buy them separately from the cost of the phone. Brand-new phones, on the other hand, will already have all of these in the box.

Brand-new phones are more exciting to buy and unbox.

UK-used phones are more affordable. These phones allow you to enjoy the luxury of using a fantastic gadget, but not having to pay a cutthroat price for it.

In as much as you take the utmost precautions when purchasing your phone, sometimes the phone may still end up failing, and there may be nothing that you can do about it.

But with brand-new phones, you are very much entitled to take it back to the manufacturer and demand a replacement or a refund.

The warranty for the UK-used phones does not cover a lot of things. For example, in cases like a broken phone screen, the store where you purchased the UK used the phone may not replace your screen.

But most brand-new phones are under warranty for issues as severe as a broken screen, and if your phone still falls under the warranty, it may be replaced for free.

For UK-used phones, you, unfortunately, do not get an extended warranty period. For most accessories, you get about two weeks, and for phones, a year, and sometimes less than that.
