Device Testing

All pre-owned and refurbished devices sold by Essentially Mobile are tested thoroughly against a strict set of check points.

These check points have been designed so that any potential issues with the device and its components can be resolved before the device is made eligible for sale. Common things that are tested include device audio quality for both media and calls, camera quality, screen quality, physical damage, and quality of the battery.

If a device fails any of our tests, we will continue to service and re-test the device until it can be approved for sale. We use genuine Samsung Components for all Samsung refurbishments, and the highest quality aftermarket components for all other refurbished devices.
