Cosmetic Grading
At PhoneList.eu every device undergoes a thorough hardware and software inspection using PhoneCheck diagnostic software. In addition to full functional testing, we assign each device a cosmetic grade, so you know exactly what you’re getting – with no surprises.
We use four grading levels:
🟢 “A+” Condition – Flawless
- ✔️ Like-new cosmetic condition
- ✔️ No scratches, dents, or visible wear
- ✔️ Screen and housing are 100% intact and unmarked
- ✔️ Ideal for premium resale and high-end stores
🟡 “A” Condition – Excellent
- ✔️ Great overall condition with minimal signs of use
- ✔️ May have very light micro-scratches on the housing or display
- ✔️ Fully functional and tested
- ✔️ Recommended for e-commerce or retail resale
🟠 “B” Condition – Used but Reliable
- ✔️ Visible scratches, scuffs, or signs of wear
- ✔️ All features work properly
- ✔️ Excellent price-to-value ratio
- ✔️ Each device includes detailed real photos and a video, so you see exactly what you’re buying

♻️ Refurbished Devices
- ✔️ Brand-new original screen and housing
- ✔️ No warning messages; all features like Face ID work as intended
- ✔️ Excellent both cosmetically and functionally
- ✔️ Perfect for customers looking for a “like-new” experience at a reduced price
🔋 Battery Information
In devices showing 100% battery health, the system often indicates that the battery has been replaced. In these cases, we only use high-quality, reliable aftermarket (repart) batteries to ensure long lifespan and consistent performance.
ℹ️ Additional Notes – Always Disclosed
If a device has any notable condition or functional difference compared to factory standard, we always list it clearly in the product description.
This includes:
- Partial functionality (e.g. Face ID, True Tone, fingerprint reader not working)
- Software or boot-time warning messages
- Aftermarket internal parts (e.g. display, camera, speaker – excluding battery)
- Cosmetic remarks that don’t affect functionality but may influence resale value
🎯 Our goal is full transparency – all relevant details are disclosed so you can make an informed decision and receive exactly what you expect.
