TrueGrade by Device Giant

No mystery devices. Just TrueGrade.

Our grading scale tells you the cosmetic condition at a glance — and every device is separately tested for full functionality against a 25-point checklist. The grade sets the price; the inspection guarantees it works.

Original-condition grades

A

Excellent

Minor cosmetic scratches, scuffs or blemishes. The closest to new.

B

Great

Scratches, scuffs or blemishes from normal wear and tear.

C

Fair

Significant scratches, scuffs and blemishes from heavy use.

D

Repairable

Powers on, not fully functional — can be repaired to restore function.

Inspection on every device

Better for your wallet & the planet

Every refurbished phone is a win for the planet

Choosing refurbished over new keeps a working device out of landfill — and skips the carbon, water and raw materials it takes to build a brand-new one. A small choice with real impact.

Less carbon

Most of a phone's lifetime emissions come from manufacturing. Reuse skips nearly all of it.

Less e-waste

Millions of devices are trashed every year. Every reused phone is one less in a landfill.

Fewer raw materials

No new mining of rare metals, no manufacturing water use — the device already exists.

Circular by design

When a device truly can't be saved, we harvest its working parts and recycle the rest responsibly.

Refurbished is not a compromise. It is the smarter, greener way to buy tech, and every TrueGrade device ships tested, graded and ready for its second life. See how we do it →

Straight answers

Frequently asked

What's the difference between Grade A, B, and C?

Grades describe cosmetic condition only — every device is fully tested and 100% functional regardless of grade. Grade A is near-flawless, Grade B shows light wear, Grade C shows visible wear at a lower price. Full criteria are on our grading standards page.

Are your refurbished phones unlocked?

Many are. Each listing states the exact carrier compatibility — fully unlocked (works on all US carriers), GSM unlocked, or locked to a specific carrier like T-Mobile, AT&T, or Xfinity. Check the carrier field on the product page before you buy.

What's your return policy?

You get 90 days from delivery to return any device — three times longer than most refurbished sellers. Just request a return and we'll email you a prepaid label. For change-of-mind or non-defective returns, return shipping is deducted from your refund; if a device arrives defective, the return is on us. Full details on our shipping & returns page.

Do you sell wholesale?

Yes — we supply resellers and repair shops with bulk lots, repairable devices, and parts. Visit our wholesale page to get set up.
