The analytical company Counterpoint Research reported that the market recovered smartphones began to grow faster than the market of new smartphones. Buyers are increasingly choosing smartphones restored instead of new, especially given the rising price of new devices from the leading brands.
In the second quarter of 2018, the restored segment of smartphones increased by 10% compared to the same period last year. The market for new smartphones fell by 1%.
The growth of the market of recovered smartphones is facilitated by several factors. Price remains a key factor, but is also affected by the level of professionalism in this field. As a result, operators and other distributors with great pleasure take restored the device and maintain the warranty. Also affects the growth of the popularity of the trade-in when a buyer rents your old device to get a discount on a new one.
