This is both good and bad: you can buy a smartphone much cheaper, saving money, which cannot be much, but also buy illiquid assets.\u00a0By illiquid it is important to understand not only gadgets in poor condition but also those with which something is clearly wrong. Do not think that it is really possible to immediately see it with the naked eye, because many flaws can be hidden and will make themselves felt during operation.\u00a0Perhaps at the most inconvenient moment.\u00a0We have selected the most subtle types of smartphones that you should probably avoid.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"i\"><span>Deceased person&#8217;s phone number<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Let&#8217;s start right off the bat.\u00a0Would you use anything of a person who left our world? I doubt anyone would have liked it.\u00a0Yes, there are some pleasant things that remain in memory: they are on the shelf, it is pleasant to look at them and occasionally touch them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But a smartphone is the thing that, whatever one may say, you use every day.\u00a0Probably, in terms of frequency of use, it can be compared to clothing.\u00a0Why not use such a device?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Firstly, it may contain the data of the deceased owner &#8211; it is at least unethical to recognize them.\u00a0Secondly, if you are already going to use the phone of a loved one who is gone, then clean it from the outside: traces of use or even particles of another person&#8217;s skin remain on the surface, and the smell of perfume may not disappear for some time.\u00a0Thirdly, superstitious people are right about something: there may\u00a0<\/span><span>be negative energy<\/span><span> in such things.\u00a0But it&#8217;s up to you to decide.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"i-2\"><span>Stolen smartphones<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>We often write about how not to lose your smartphone, as well\u00a0<\/span><span>as how to find it if you lost it<\/span><span>\u00a0, and what to do\u00a0<\/span><span>if you find someone else&#8217;s phone<\/span><span>\u00a0.\u00a0But a stolen phone that somehow ended up in your possession is something new.\u00a0Let&#8217;s say you didn&#8217;t steal it, but you were offered to buy such a device for ridiculous money.\u00a0Why is it a bad idea to use it?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Smartphones have a bunch of\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>remote locking<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0features\u00a0.\u00a0Even if you use it, then, most likely, at one moment the former owner will come to his senses and block him.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>You don&#8217;t know\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>what happened to this phone<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0.\u00a0There is a possibility that he is evidence in some kind of crime.\u00a0By formatting it, you complicate the process of solving the case.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>The phone may belong to a\u00a0<\/span><em><span>dangerous person<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0.\u00a0And he will not care that you did not know about it: you can simply face surveillance or threats.\u00a0You will be left without money, without a phone and you will get unnecessary problems.\u00a0Do you need them?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"i-3\"><span>Refurbished smartphones from China<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Internet sites are full of advertisements for the sale of flagship smartphones at a low cost.\u00a0A blind purchase is a lottery, <\/span><span>.\u00a0And buying a phone that has been repaired on the knee is even more so.\u00a0There is no clarity about how the repairs were made, what parts were used.\u00a0Perhaps such a device will serve you for a long time, and you will not experience problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Or you can pay a lot of money for something that fails in a couple of months.\u00a0By the way, it is better not to consider such devices as a gift: it is one thing when you buy a low-quality restored smartphone for yourself, and another for a loved one.\u00a0<\/span><em><span>Perish yourself, and help your comrade out<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0.\u00a0In this case, saving is definitely not worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"adsense\"><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"i-4\"><span>Defective smartphone<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>You&#8217;ve probably seen deals for discounted smartphones.\u00a0This is very profitable, but such devices need to be thoroughly studied: sometimes sellers cut the warranty on them, making a nice discount, but it all depends on the defect.\u00a0For example, you can safely buy a\u00a0<\/span><strong><span>smartphone in a crumpled box<\/span><\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"i-5\"><span>Gray smartphones<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Smartphones imported into our country without paperwork do not pass registration and will be considered &#8220;gray&#8221;.\u00a0They are cheaper than those that are officially sold.\u00a0The biggest risk is the lack of a manufacturer&#8217;s warranty.\u00a0Repairs from the seller may turn out to be of poor quality.\u00a0And the device itself may turn out to be unsuitable for our country and will require flashing and other unnecessary fuss: for example, the lack of a language or software for another state.\u00a0All these nuances should be clarified before buying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>We hope our little guide to smartphones that is best to avoid will help you.\u00a0Make the right choice and don&#8217;t go after savings: do you remember who pays twice?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The smartphone market is huge: when we talk about devices, we mean not only new ones but also those that were in use.
