Every specification here is taken from the manufacturer’s own published figures. A tick marks the higher figure only where higher is simply better, such as battery life or memory. Not published means the maker does not publish that figure, not that the phone lacks it.
How we compare. Specifications come from each manufacturer’s own published figures, and a phone only appears here once its spec sheet has been approved. The refurbished price is the lowest price we list for that phone in any grade we sell; the product page shows what is in stock. The trade-in price is what we pay today for one in Excellent condition, our top grade. We check every phone when it arrives, and if yours is not in the condition you described we email you a revised offer to accept or decline.
