Have you had a bad experience with Refurbs? Where did you buy it from? I'm taking suggestions!
In the future, I'm going to buy multiple devices so these tests can be more accurate. Ie - buying 5 iPhone 8's and see how many have issues. Next up is GAMESTOP! :)
Thank you guys for watching!
Good Idea!
First!
Hi
Love you bro
Hi
You should start a series where you review phones priced under 300$ :)
I know right
Yes he is right
lots of competitive phones from the chinese market. 120hz at that price range when even an $800 iphone still has a 60hz display
Ye
Review the Xiaomi Redmi note 11 pro+ 5g
Would be interesting to see a refurbished iPhone 13 pro or pro max specifically (if there actually are any). I’m curious on how a 3rd party seller would deal with a damaged 120hz screen.
He showed his face
3:32
@@sonubhiya1234 he has already face revealed
Good choice I couldn't think of that but would love to see it
I wouldn't buy an iPhone below 90%
I’d love more videos about buying used phones safely and reviewing different marketplaces
yeah same👍
Agree here!
Great video! Thanks.
What downloaded program did you use to test all the functionality?
Just a tip on checking for generic charging cables, normally they have a serial number on the cable(fake ones never have this), may take a bit of time to find as the fonts grey, like the charger itself.
Where
@@ridhwannasution5085 Just look along the cable(normally on usb side of the cable), it'll say "Designed by Apple in California Assembled in Vietnam xxxxxxx(serial number)".
I'm glad you started doing these refurbished/renewed review videos. Thank you
Glad you like them!
plz send to me
@@SANJAYGURJAR1621he wont
i got a used iphone XR “like-new” from amazon. their packaging wasn’t the best but the overall phone quality isn’t even bad. their description was mostly accurate, they said things like “no imperfections to be seen as far as an arms length” which is totally true, i barely notice any scratches on the screen until i bring it up closer. battery health is at 88% which isn’t super bad, it’s good enough for me since it lasts on one charge most of the day.
If you don’t mind me asking, how much did it cost?
what is the battery health at now?
Thats great. I hope it works out well and I wish you the best.
@@7x7vv sorry for taking so long to respond. overall battery health really depends on how much you care for your phone, and i treat mine like a baby, so its still at 88%. It cost me around $288 which is really not bad for "like-new" condition.
@@jakeduran1702 thanks so much man.
What software are you using for checking if parts are not changed?
I really love your videos...This video was awesome...Keep up the awesome content man 🙂
What app did you use to test all the phone functions? I am about to buy a second hand iphone and would like to test it in the same way! Great review!
3u tools and the app, you can you any generic app
@@noahscool4534 what do you mean any generic app? Can you give some examples?
It was quite shitty of them to say “download an app to test device functions” ! So you won’t name the app you are using unless they pay youv
@@abhiagarwal6918 just on the App Store you can search like iPhone test or something
phone diagnostics
Nice vid. I have an 11 pro. If I want to buy a replacement battery does it need to be reset before or is it same as the iPhone 8 as I just did a family member’s battery and loved the experience.
Excellent video!! Very realistic and sincere of you. Thank you
I'd be so pissed. The bare minimum of a refurbish to me is at least popping in a new battery. No exceptions.
you should review a backmarket phone. I’ve heard mixed reviews, and i want to know for sure what the experience is like
Hey love your videos, What is the name of the app you used to check if everything works?
Better off with Amazon refurbished program. I ordered an iPhone 10s gold and came like it was new out of the box. Not a single scratch. Happy with the purchase.
I have a question. What is the hardest phone repair you’ve ever done?
Hi, i was wo dering what hotplate you are using🤔
Great videos keep it up! 🤝
Best Buy also sells Open Box for a smidge more? but with better warranty and condition. But, it would still be interesting to see those phones on your channel. tnx
I would NEVER buy a refurb from a company that charged to return it. Charging a customer to return a refurbished device is shady. You never know what condition the phone is in because it is obviously not new.
👎Best Buy👎
While I understand why they do that, if the customer can't see the phone before they buy it they should be able to return it if it isn't up to their standards. That's why I can stand behind Amazon Renewed because their return policy is solid.
Best buy should be worse buy
@@PhoneRepairGuru Agreed. What is the iPhone app you used in the video to test functions?
How is the App called where you can test everything ? I have a repair shop in Germany and this app would be really nice 😅
What’s the app name?
Would like to know too
@@bundiaustin8069 he replied further down that it is called phone diagnostics
Great video, where would you say is a reliable and good priced place to buy refurbished in Canada?
Do a video on how to check an iPhone thoroughly within 3u tools and that app you mentioned please
You should make more of these videos! I loved it!
I will! Thank you :)
For reference of how bad the battery health is, apple recommendeds a replacement at 85% and you typically have issues at 80%
"Replacement" replace the entire goddamn phone and not the battery
That's at 80% the battery replacement. I tried to get my brother's iPhone 12 pro max battery replaced at 84% during the warranty period. Apple didn't allow us to go through with the replacement.
@HoloKola you have throttling problems, lagging, and some other issues sometimes at 80%
@@erizorico even if you have like the newest phone?
@@corey7219 that’s stupid, did they tell you to buy a new phone too? I think apple said iPhones typically drop to 80% after 2 years
Which company batteries do you use when changing iphone batteries?
just wondering, my ipad recently broke, shattering the glass and disconnecting the glass and digitizer from the main array. It also warped the metal case. Any chance you can repair this? Should I send it in? What would be the cost?
what's the app used to test the functions?
3U Tools
The app on the phone, not on the computer
Also looking for the name
I bought an iPhone 11 Pro silver 256GB off of Amazon and it works perfect the only issue was the battery health which was 81%. The cosmetic condition is about 9/10. Was actually going to buy it off of Best Buy.
2 days ago I actually got my semi new (used or refurbished) Huawei Mate 40 pro from a phone company called "Movistar". It cost me 600 dollars ( half the price of a new one) and it arrived in nearly perfect condition with just some minor wear marks, the screen is perfect, cameras also perfect and the battery last a whole day.
10/10 recommended
@crazy afghan I've been a Huawei user since 2018 and I really like their phones, they cost a fraction of the price of a high end apple or Samsung device and offers you the same capabilites in most aspects
2:20 phone repair guru speaking spanish, this is the best thing i've seen today
A question: what is the oldest phone (or other thing) that you have ever repaired?
(You can answer this in a shorts)
Stay away from Best Buy marketplace!
I think you should look at "black market" for used phone. I like their warranty and I think they have like a 90 day return policy
whats the program you used to test the device, i would like to test my iphone 11 aswell since it is refurbished
Face reveal?
Nice Video!
Can you do backmarket next?
A few years ago I got an s10 from best buy refurbished, and it had a Sim tray that didn't fit flush, software that would not update because it had some kind of Wierd mismatch between software version and model number, and the screen cracked on its own only a few weeks after getting it
what app did you use to test the device?
Can you share what app did you use to check if the functions are correct? thanks
Whats the name of the app you downloaded from 3:34 to test the other parts of the phone?
Hey Phone repair Guru, i really would like to know what software you used to test functionalities of the iphone ?
same
I've been watching your video for like 6 months now and they have been amazing thankyou
Thank you so much :) I really appreciate that
I love this kind of video!! Keep them coming!
Walmart depends on the seller but the xr I got wasn’t properly refurbished. Battery wasnt even done on it but the phone does work atleast.
Cool video
Amazon actually it’s ok to buy refurbished phones, eBay too as if something goes wrong which happens 1 out of 2 , they stand behind you and you are covered. My advice is to buy from these two places but the best place to buy an iPhone even refurbished is apple themselves.
hey what app do you use to test the samsung devices like the 3utool what is it called? for samsung
I'm from México, and when I heard you saying "Hola amigo", you make me smile so hard. :D
Which app did u use to check the how well everything works?
Can you go over back market refurbished devices? I got a phone from them and I want to know the quality of their work.
What’s the app you used to test the phone. (The app on the phone, not the computer one)?
What’s the name of the app you used to run the test on the device
Hey whats the app you use for iPhone diagnostics? please.
I don’t think think we have best buy available here (UK) so I got my refurbished iPhone SE 2020 from O2 and it’s currently doing great, I will be getting apple care on it to be on the safe side
Hi, what’s name of the app that checks iPhone functionality??
Yeeey at Lost longer video! You inspired me to fixing phones. You are great!
I come on this channel knowing that I will learn something new from each video for sure.
i messed up the plug on my headset and can only hear outa one ear, is there anything i can do bout it
I want to be like you when i'm older. (I LOVE YOUR VIDS)
Hey I have a iPhone X that is but looping I don’t have a MacBook to fix it so I was wondering if you could take a look at?
Bro!! Can you do a video on refurbished gamestop iphones because im curious to know what you think of how they do business. Please bro!!
What do you mean when u said marketplace like i should buy my pc from website not from the store next my home?
i’d like to see how’s an iPhone 13 pro/pro max from Backmarket, with best conditions, cause i’ve been interested in buying one, but i’m a lil bit skeptical. Thanks🙂
What app did you used to test the phone (not the 3utools)
we need a studio/workspace tour!
what phone app did u use to test out the features of the iphone.
Please tell.
im trying to buy a good expensive phone used so its cheaper
Does Esim work for refurbished iPhones or other phones? Best buy / back market ?
Where can I find the clip you use to hold the screen with?
how do u do tests on the iPhone? wher do u get them
Hey, I am late but do you think you can review Back Market? Their phones are really good and if there is any issue, the return process is really, really easy… (I am not sponsored or anything, but I am kinda surprised that many people don’t talk about them as much outside of, Europe…)
Test swappie next bc my old iPhone 8 did not have touch id water resistarnd or original battery
Hello Guru, my xs doesn't turn on, and the back get warm when plugged in and doesn't charge, please what might the fault be (battery or power ic)
What was the app he used for testing the phones functions?
what app did you use for testing the iphone?
Plus most of the time those are 1:1 copies Charging cables . With apple chips . So it would show genuine. But they are still good quality cables.
Hey man I have been watching you for a while I don’t expect you to see this but can you do a vid on how to update and iPhone 6plus to iOS 13? Thanks man keep being awsome
Been using a refurbished s10 plus for like 6 months (from giffgaff, aBritish service provider idk if u guys get them over the pond) and other than the odd scratch to the bodywork (that I've already added to lmao) you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and a brand new one other than it being about £300
Hey man pls tell me Where do you buy logic boards
Nice vid. What's the name of the app that you used?
I have a question, So will the AirPod 2nd Gens retire when the pro 2s come out? Plz respond Thank you?
What app do u use to test all the features
I Would like to ask if the battery of Iphone se 3 is compatible to Iphone se 2? I hope you notice me! Thank you!
What was the app that checks everything on the phone???
whats the app you used on the iphone to check all parts of the phone?
Phone diagnostics
Couldn't you take phones from the US bc I saw your videos I love your videos I hope I can try to see if you can fix my phones
what’s the name of the app you downloaded to test the functionality
Yay! A long video again! I like the long videos, keep it up!
I love watching this guy! The only thing that bothers me that he is mostly focused on shorts and I'm watching these videos on my laptop most of the time.. Would love to see him do more videos like this instead of those shorts ;(
Hey Walter! thank you for the comment. Shorts is what people mainly watch, I'm focusing on long videos a lot more nowadays but shorts are much easier to put out and usual produce better results for my channel. I have a team of 2 now so it will definitely be easier for me to make more long videos. Thanks for your feedback man, have a nice day :)
If you could please tell me the app you used to thoroughly check the phone?
I bought my a12 from Canadian gadget on bestbuy marketplace I needed a cheap phone to replace my s7 that didn't charge anymore. Works good but they sourced it from the usa
I use BackMarket all the time, but I’m very curious with these people would you do BackMarket next?
What app did you use to test the phone? Thanks!
its called phone diagnostics
Could you do the same video on backmarket refurbished?
Whats the app you used to test the phone ?
What app is that you checked all the functions with?
My iPhone 10’s screen keeps acting up, it just goes off sometimes (like just black) but I still hear sounds and get haptic feedbacks, then comes back on. Sometimes it comes on when I block the proximity sensor, what’s the problem?
Can you assemble a iphone by buying all its parts or used parts online? I love to watch it.
Hey I know u probably won’t respond to this but I took apart my first tech thing and the battery is over heating my parents said it will be fine but it’s puffy and at like 20 degrees already what should I do?!😢
What app is the one that you used to check the phones quality? not the PC one
