Why Buy Refurbished?

The rumor mill churns at full speed every time we approach the season of upgrades, aka the launch of a shiny new iPhone. Those smooth, gleaming edges, the sleek stainless body, the premium feel, and an aura so powerful, you can hear the silence at Apple Park. It’s definitely tempting. But at what cost? An upward of S$2000 for an A16 Bionic chip instead of the A15 in the iPhone 13 and the A14 in the iPhone 12? That’s a steep investment for most users, especially parents and caregivers. And if you’re a regular with Apple events and read up on the spec details for most releases, you understand the concept of incremental improvements quite well. Whether you need these barely-there intangible changes in exchange for a hefty $2000+ investment, is a decision only you can make. However, in a world where we want our customers to make smart, planet-friendly choices, we encourage you to think twice before deciding. The decision we’ve made, you ask? iPhone 13 more than suffices for the basic as well as the not-so-basic needs of casual users. It offers inexpensive value with exceptional features, especially if you’ve been eyeing it for a quick, affordable, and meaningful upgrade in the refurbished market. The iPhone 13 and Its Seasoned Specs - Appreciated and Inherited by iPhone 15 Seasoned - perhaps, the best way to describe iPhone 13 and its value proposition. Been there, done that, seen the world - this one knows exactly what you like and need. It’s tried, tested, and reliable. It’s money well spent. Rumor mill aside, critics claim that the iPhone 13 is one of the most reliable upgrade options in the market today. From specs, features, and design to the size and color options - you will not be left yearning for more. Let’s take a closer look at the seasoned specs sported by the 13th gen. Rumor has it that the 15th series siblings will also be inheriting them Excellent OLED Display At the end of the day, it’s all about the screen. Isn’t it? The clarity, brightness, sharp contrast, and too-good-to-be-true colors - that’s what you interact with day in and day out. That’s the true upgrade you’re looking for. Well lucky for you, the brilliant Super Retina XDR OLED Displays on the 13th series will stay the same on the new release. A resolution of 2532 x 1179 and a refresh rate of 60Hz - the highest in the entire Apple lineup. iPhone 13 boasts a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio for blacks and whites and a peak brightness of 1200 nits. Streaming movies and TV shows? It’s the best of the best. Going up that hike for pictures of the Pacific? Experience the Edge of Intelligent Photography with the 12MP dual lens. A15 Performance Levels The iPhone 15 will likely boast the A16 bionic chip compared to the A15 in the iPhone 13. However, when pitting these two powerhouses against each other, it’s unrealistic to observe a tangible difference. It goes without saying that upgrading to any device in the 15-gen lineup will deliver exceptional performance. The processor will be capable of handling intense multitasking while delivering the best speeds and load times. Therefore, searching for a faster and smoother smartphone experience is, perhaps, not reason enough to spend a fortune for the latest launch. Upgrading to a refurbished iPhone 13, starting at SGD 758 or an iPhone 12, starting at SGD 518, will give you inexpensive value plus performance longevity - making your investment worthwhile. The 12MP Front Camera Rumor has it that the 15th Gen will see back camera updates, however, the front 12MP lens will remain the same. Say hello to crisp selfies and high Facetime quality. It’s a standout feature of the iPhone 13 series that has made communication and connectivity all the more pleasant. The iPhone 13 and Its Hidden Gems - Features You’ll Love Not a new release but undoubtedly boasts the ‘wow’ factor - that’s the iPhone 13 for y’all. If you’re still looking for reasons to opt for a sustainable upgrade with this model, you’ll be surprised to know that there are plenty of ‘hidden’ or unexplored features to discover. With 73% of smartphone users simply using their devices for texting and picture-taking - exploring innovative features and off-the-beaten-path functionality can elevate user experience and give you so much more value for your investment. You’d want to pin these on a trusty post-it 📒 Back-tap Gestures A feature you may not have heard or used is the Back-tap Gesture on the iPhone 13. With a few changes in settings, you can map an action to the back of the phone and access features like taking screenshots, turning on the torch, or opening the camera. It’s a neat little trick that adds a ton of one-hand functionality and ease for the users with a double or triple tap gesture. Simply follow these steps to activate it: Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap → Double Tap or Triple Tap. Calming Background Sounds You can also use your refurbished iPhone 13 upgrade to play calming background noises to relieve stress and improve concentration. Choose from a variety of options like rain, ocean, or white noise. Simply follow these steps to activate it: Settings → Accessibility → Audio/Visual → Background Sounds. Live Text Feature The Live Text feature on iPhone 13 uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to pinpoint text from images. Once extracted, this text can be copied, translated, or shared, Simply follow these steps to extract live text: Settings → Camera → Show Detected Text (ON) FaceTime Eye Contact Not sure where to look while video calling? Quit worrying about eye content with the FaceTime Eye Contact toggle. Whether you’re looking directly at the lens or not, this handy feature creates an illusion that your eyes are focused on the speaker. Simply follow these steps to activate it: Settings → FaceTime → Eye Contact Swipe-Up Captions Taken a bunch of photos with your refurbished iPhone 13? The Captions feature makes photography fun and interesting. Without downloading third-party apps, you can now add captions and doodles to the pictures with a simple gesture. Simply swipe up on each picture or video to see the collection fo fun elements to add. Hide Away Apps Don’t want to see some apps on your screen? You can easily hide them by clicking ‘Remove App’ from the quick actions menu, and then selecting ‘Move to Library’ option. The iPhone 13 and Its Inexpensive Value Refurbished iPhone upgrades are a great example of inexpensive value - a concept we talk about often. Instead of settling for a model that doesn’t deliver or overspending on one that doesn’t provide enough tangible benefits - you get to invest in one that gives you the best value for your money. The internet is buzzing with leaked pictures and speculative rumors about the iPhone 15. There’s no dearth of information. You’ll find plenty of comparisons and wishlists, and we’ll see what the fuss is all about come September 12th, 2023. However, we can say with absolute confidence that these upgrades don’t make much of a difference from a practical standpoint. They’re aspirational and nice to have - but will not bring a tangible change to the performance or perks of the iPhone 13 and 14 series. So, the question now is, will the iPhone 13 be good enough for you?

Reebelo’s wide selection of laptops is certified refurbished, environment-friendly, and priced just right, keeping you within budget as you start college. From the lightest, most portable to the best user-friendly features, there’s a device for everyone. All packaged with 14-day returns, up to12 months of warranty, and free shipping. What Specs are the Best for Back-to-School Laptops? If this is the first time you’re looking for a refurbished back-to-school laptop, you’re likely wondering how to choose the best one. What features should it have? How much should it cost? And what will the term ‘refurbished’ mean? Let’s break it down for you. Here’s what you should be looking for in the best back-to-school refurbed laptop deals. Storage - You’ll need plenty of storage to keep all your files, assignments, and notes in one place. We recommend opting for 256GB of storage to ensure you don’t run out of device capacity. If you need more, an external hard drive is a wise choice. Weight - Busy days with back-to-back classes call for school essentials that are light and easy to carry. A good laptop should be no exception. Chromebooks and MacBook Air series are known to be the lightest, most portable machines in the market. Make sure you check the thickness and weight of the laptop in the specifications category on the product pages. Battery Life - Long days feel better when you’re wireless - thanks to a long and reliable battery life. A refurbished laptop meant to be used for school is built with a robust battery that lasts 9+ hours - giving a full day of wireless connectivity.

Basic mid-range machines can easily tackle school and college assignments, editing, email drafting, PowerPoint presentations, and more. An Intel i5 or even an i3 will be a good fit (and a great price point too). Screen Size - With compactness and portability topping your priority list, choosing a screen size of 11” makes the most sense. It will be big enough to give a pleasant viewing experience without adding bulk to your backpack. However, if you prefer a bigger screen, a 15”-17” laptop will work well too.

<li data-mce-fragment="1" style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Processing Power - Intuition may make you look for a powerful laptop with high processing speeds. However, you’d be surprised to know that high processing power is not needed for a back-to-school laptop. Basic mid-range machines can easily tackle school and college assignments, editing, email drafting, PowerPoint presentations, and more. An Intel i5 or even an i3 will be a good fit (and a great price point too).</li>

<li data-mce-fragment="1" style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Screen Size - With compactness and portability topping your priority list, choosing a screen size of 11” makes the most sense. It will be big enough to give a pleasant viewing experience without adding bulk to your backpack. However, if you prefer a bigger screen, a 15”-17” laptop will work well too. </li>
</ul>

The Best Back-to-School Laptop Deals - Refurbished & Just Right

The short answer: Yes. The long answer: You don’t need one. It’s a Yes. There’s no two ways about it. We love refurbished AirPods. Our global, hybrid team uses them daily to drown out the loud lawn mower or to resist the temptation to join in on the laughter coming from our office kitchen. What can we say- they’re a lifesaver and an investment that doesn’t require you to spend a fortune. So, whether you’re curious to just see what ‘as new’ looks like or simply need to upgrade your earphones to these sleek, wireless ones - buying refurbished AirPods is a smart decision. Not only does it help you save up to 40% off retail, it also makes you a responsible, well-informed global citizen looking out for the planet. It’s a win-win. Now, fair warning. Not all ‘refurbished tech’ is the same. You usually find us talking about the benefits of refurbished technology and all the perks you get when buying from Reebelo. Today, we want to turn the tables and talk about what NOT to settle for when refurbished AirPods are on your mind. It’s interesting, stay tuned! 3 Red Flags to Watch Out for When Buying Refurbished Apple AirPods Dirty Ear Tips. You signed up for refurbs. Not dirty. There’s a big difference. The biggest red flag to watch out for when buying used AirPods is a lack of hygiene. For a device that is worn inside the ear, it is a no-brainer that the cleaning process has to be intense. Make sure you peer inside the ear tips, feel the mesh to ensure it’s cleaned up, and check the ear tip lining to spot any unpleasant gunk. There should be none. When you buy reconditioned AirPods from a certified and vetted seller, there should be no ‘icky’ feeling as you unbox the earphones and examine them from all angles. The only feeling you should be supporting is excitement to give your smart purchase a test run. And that’s a guarantee with the detailed sanitization, cleaning, and buffing Reebelo’s certified refurbishers have in place. P.S. Our refurbished Apple AirPods come with silicone ear tips so you can adjust the size based on your requirements and clean them out when needed. Clean & Shiny But Duped. With tech dupes now widely available, it’s always worth your while to test products thoroughly. While it may look clean and shiny, is the sound quality satisfactory? A few tips we always keep in mind to spot refurbished, original AirPods from dupes are: Pair and check the alert on your iPhone. All systems, from iOS 16 onwards, have a feature to detect fake paired devices. If this particular pair is not original, you’ll see a pop-up message ‘Cannot Verify Airpods.’ Verify the serial number on the box and do the same in your iPhone settings as well. You can find more information about serial numbers on Apple’s support page. Examine the packaging. Original Apple packaging is made of high-quality, recyclable materials. There are no spelling mistakes on the text and the box definitely doesn’t feel like cheap cardboard. Trust the details. Compare your purchase to the original photos on Apple’s website. Some replica cases have extra vents, come in colors not advertised by the brand, and need permission to connect each time you open the case. These tiny details make a brand like Reebelo trustworthy. P.S. There is nothing wrong with using dupes. As long as that's what you wanted and paid for. Expired Warranty. Warranty. It’s the Fairy Godmother of refurbished tech. Always there, watching over it. So if you find out post-purchase that you’ve been left hanging high and dry without any cover, *poof* your fairy godmother has disappeared. This doesn’t have to be the case. Certified sellers like Reebelo who only partner with vetted refurbishers offer a 14-day return window, a 3-month warranty on refrubs, and an option for an extended warranty at a nominal fee. This comprehensive cover, and honoring it, is what makes the refurbished industry a front-runner in consumer decision-making. We suggest extensively searching for questions like ‘do refurbished AirPods come with a warranty’, and the many sellers who offer it before you finalize your purchase. Do You Love Your Refurbished AirPods? If you ordered these refurbished AirPods to see firsthand what ‘as new’ looks like, we hope you’re loving your purchase. Once you have them in your hand, you’ll see there’s really nothing to worry about. If you’re buying from a trusted refurb tech platform like Reebelo, you’re protected with a 3-month warranty, and if you’re still not satisfied, you get 14 days to return them for a full refund. See, nothing to be afraid of. We got your back.

5 Must-Have Portable Refurbished Devices for Your Summer Travels 

It’s arm candy. It’s a lifesaver. It’s one of the only machines you need in your life. What is it? It's none other than a refurbished Apple laptop. The sleek, modern aluminum unibodies are tempting. The rounded edges and minimalist, clean looks - definitely a tease. But the price tag? Not a big deal now that you know about Reebelo - a trusted marketplace for certified refurbished laptops. If you’re buying a MacBook for school or work for the first time (yay, happy graduation day!), there’s a lot you have to consider to ensure you invest in the right device for your needs. Grab your trusty notepad - we’re here to help you navigate the various options available to choose your first refurbished Apple laptop. Top 6 Factors To Help You Choose Your Refurbished Apple Laptop What Do You Need it For? What will you be using it for? Are you looking for a cheap MacBook for school or college? Will your primary use be completing assignments, making presentations, and staying up to date with your classmates via email? If so, a fast performer like the MacBook Air (M1, Late 2020) is a great option. On the other hand, if you’re a power user who will multitask all day, consider investing in a MacBook Pro. This lineup from Apple has higher, professional-grade performance with an 18% faster CPU and a 40% stronger internal processing architecture. An excellent choice worth investigating would be the MacBook Pro 2020 13.3”. Reebelo Tip: A useful way to determine the right fit between need and performance is to compare each device's RAM and storage. 8GB RAM is good for everyday use whereas a graphic designer who uses multiple apps may require 16GB. For storage, 256GB may be fine for most users, however, investing in 1TB can ensure your device stays at its optimum and reduces the need for external hard drives. What’s Your Budget At Reebelo, we guarantee a safety net for our customers with detailed return and refund policies while keeping prices of refurbished laptops up to 70% less than retail. With no compromise on quality, we bring you only the best choices from certified refurbishers. So, as you decide on a budget for your first refurbished Apple laptop, rest assured you will find a wide selection at every price point. From a starting price of $170 for this MacBook Air 2015 13.3" to $1400 for one of the latest MacBook Pro 2021 16" models. Reebelo Tip: When deciding your budget, go back to point #1 and think about your usage. If the biggest chunk of your usage, and pleasure, comes from binge-watching pantry organizing videos (guilty as charged…), a $1500 laptop isn’t really a good fit! What Screen Size Do You Want? At first, this may not seem like a make-or-break when considering which refurbished Apple laptop to buy. But trust us, you want to take it into account. Apple MacBooks come in a variety of screen sizes - from 11” to 15.5”. If you’re an avid traveler, a more compact screen like the MacBook Air 2017 13.3" will be the best choice. On the other hand, if you work with video editing or gaming software, a bigger 15” screen may serve you better. Reebelo Tip: Screen size also determines the quality of the screen. Hi-Res and Retina displays require technology that some smaller screens may not have. Something to consider as you reach for the measuring tape! How Much Battery Life Do You Want? Most refurbished Apple laptops have all-day battery life. You can carry them around as you go about your day without needing a charger to top it up. Factors that affect how much juice your laptop will consume include the strength of the CPU, and the efficiency of the battery. If you’re always on the go and need your laptop to be wireless for long hours - we’d recommend the refurbished 13-inch MacBook Pro 2020 M1 any day! The 58.2-watt-hour lithium-ion battery on this beast gives 17 hours of wireless web and 20 hours of Apple TV movie playback. Simply unmatched! Reebelo Tip: We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again - responsible charging has a huge impact on your MacBook’s battery life. Completely draining the battery and charging overnight are some habits that negatively impact even the strongest of lithium cells. Is Connectivity Important to You? Are you planning to connect multiple devices to your refurbished Apple laptop? Just like MacBooks are available in different screen sizes, every model also has slight variations in port availability. The 13” MacBook Pro (2015) is one such example. This notebook comes with all the ports you and your family may be familiar with. You can connect and integrate multiple devices using the selection of thunderbolts and USB slots. Reebelo Tip: Again, port connectivity isn’t something you’d be thinking about actively. We suggest you list the activities you may be doing with your laptop in the future to make sure your purchase is truly an investment. Do You Want a Light Apple Laptop? The lightest Apple Laptop around is the MacBook Air 2022. Weighing 2.7 pounds, you’ll forget it’s even in your backpack all day long. It’s a great addition to your travel arsenal, especially if you are on the go all the time. However, do keep in mind that the lighter the laptop, the fewer ports it will house to keep the internal structure thin. Reebelo Tip: Your pick might be light, but it will not be any less sturdy. A ton of engineering and finesse goes into keeping these modern laptops sleek but also strong enough to be your daily grind partners. So pick away! Is a Refurbished MacBook Worth It? A refurbished MacBook is definitely worth considering. Depending on the model and condition of the device, you can save up to 70% off the original price with Reebelo’s special deals. When buying a thoroughly vetted refurbished MacBook, you can take advantage of our 14-day return window, extended warranty periods, fast delivery, and a wide selection of products and vendors - all with a few clicks. You can proudly own a refurbished Apple laptop that looks great and works perfectly without spending a fortune!

Refurbished Tech Deals That Will Light Up Father’s Day 

Marking our calendars for World Ocean Day on June 8th, we can’t imagine a better topic to talk about than Carbon Capture and Sequestering (CCS). An innovative waste management technique that uses the power of our majestic oceans to reduce carbon impact on the environment. The ‘One Ocean, One Climate, One Future - Together’ mandate unites all our efforts to rescue the planet, with all resources pitching in. The vast, blue oceans in this context serve as absorbers and reservoirs of responsibly stored carbon emissions. But how are these emissions extracted and taken deep into the sea? When you think about sustainable practices, the first question that comes to mind is, ‘what makes Carbon Capture and Sequestration a viable solution?’ What is Carbon Capture and Sequestration? Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) are two complementing processes. The first refers to trapping carbon as soon as it is emitted, but before it reaches the atmosphere. Sequestration, on the other hand, extracts carbon emissions that are already present in the environment. Together, this sustainable carbon management technology reduces the presence of the gas by utilizing ocean beds as safe havens. Large amounts of carbon are captured, compressed into liquids, and transported via pipelines and tankers to designated Carbon Sinks. Carbon sinks like forests, soil, and ocean bodies are areas that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for their own survival. However, due to the exponential rise in carbon emissions, as pointed out by the sustainable refurbished tech industry, the balance between emission and absorption has been upset for quite some time. Actively drawing out carbon through CCS and depositing it in our oceans aims to speed up this process. Phytoplanktons, commonly known as microscopic marine algae and bacteria, are responsible for absorbing a quarter of all carbon emissions since the Industrial Revolution. World Ocean Day initiatives like an end to plastic pollution feed into prolonged carbon absorption by keeping our oceans healthy. A balanced ocean environment is key to ensuring carbon absorption and sequestration carries on at an accelerated pace. Therefore, Carbon Capture and Sequestration takes top spot in the list of environmental solutions that can help reduce carbon emissions from devices like smartphones. The CSS Map - Global Carbon Capture and Sequestration Efforts Some notable global efforts towards Carbon Capture and Sequestration include: In 2019, Australia pledged A$50 million towards CCS projects. In 2020 it increased this allocation to A$263.7 million for both, onshore and offshore capture and storage. Some prominent projects include those in Moomba, South Australia, the Darling Basin region in NSW, and Bonaparte Basin. Between 2008 - 2018, Canada allocated $1.8 billion for CSS efforts. The most prominent programs include the Federal Government's Clean Energy Fund, Boundary Dam and Alberta's Carbon Capture and Storage Fund. The Abu Dhabi CSS Project in UAE aims to capture 0.8 million tons of carbon annually and use it for oil recovery processes. The Petrobras Lula Oil Field in Brazil is an offshore facility capturing and storing 0.7 million tons of carbon every year. One Ocean, One Climate, One Future - Where is Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) Headed? The success of CCS on small scale samples has been notable. And to make it a mainstream technology in the sustainable and green space, CCS will gain the most from being added to the Inflation Reduction Act, which will reduce cost sensitivity associated with it. From acquiring large, expensive equipment to setting up the enormous facilities needed to carry out capture procedures, this law can be a monumental positive change in sustainability circles. It's a critical step to ensuring countries around the world meet their net zero targets and are able to speed up the transition to renewable sources of power.

Does Carbon Capture & Sequestration Make Our Planet Greener?

The word ‘carbon emissions’ doesn't really conjure up the image of a sleek, shiny, immaculately packaged tech gadget. Traditionally, we’ve been tuned to associate carbon with transportation, oil & gas. Little do we realize that our everyday electronics release worrying quantities of carbon as we go about our daily grind. The combined carbon footprint of devices like laptops, smartphones, tablets, and PCs has grown exponentially in the last few years. According to the Journal of Cleaner Production, it will increase to 14% by 2040, a sharp rise from 1% in 2007. At Reebelo, we’re committed to bringing these numbers down by encouraging the use of refurbished tech within the circular economy. And in honor of World Environment Day 2023, we’re unraveling what carbon footprint is, how it relates to your favorite refurbished or new phones, and what can be done to positively impact our environment. Simply put, carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide released by your favorite electronics in the atmosphere - starting from manufacturing and usage, all the way to disposing them responsibly. Top 3 Ways Buying Refurbished Makes a Difference Since 90% of these emissions are released before devices leave a factory, you can make a difference by considering and purchasing refurbished tech. Let’s explore three ways in which reconditioned technology can help lower your carbon footprint. Reduced emission-intensive mining & manufacturing We’ve previously talked about the emission-intensive manufacturing process for hi-tech gadgets on our blog. A quick recap, a smartphone: Requires mining of roughly 10% glass and ceramics, 60% metals, and 30% plastics. Releases 170.4lbs of carbon emissions Uses 77,000 liters of water Creates 6.29oz of e-waste Takes $500+ out of your pocket! Extensive research at MacMaster University, Canada shows that the emissions from cell phone manufacturing, in particular, have surpassed all expectations. They grew by a staggering 730%, growing from 17 megatons to 125 megatons a year. That’s the lion’s share compared to any other devices we use on a daily basis. What does it take to play your part in turning these extravagant figures around? Buying a 100% functional, like-new refurbished phone instead. It's a win-win 🙌 Extending the life of a fully functioning device A device manufactured after intensive research, mining, and extraction of materials should be used to its fullest. When used responsibly, a phone’s life can be extended well beyond the 2-year mark. When buying refurbished, you limit your carbon footprint by giving a second chance to a perfectly functioning iPhone or MacBook Pro. Studies have shown that extending the lifespan of a smartphone by only 2 more years helps balance the environment 50% better. That’s exactly what refurbishing does. Moreover, using your device longer means you get the most value out of the emissions. Now that’s a small price to pay for a better, healthier breathing space. Isn’t it? Contribute to better, higher-quality recycling Did you know, there are 6.84 billion phones in the world? And a mere 15% of these make it to recycling. Where do the rest go when they are replaced? Either deep inside a cluttered tech cabinet or in landfills as e-waste. According to Cleanup.org, e-waste is responsible for 70% of toxicity in Australian landfills. Therefore, committing to buying refurbished is a commitment to improving recycling globally. When done right, most phones that are usable go through the refurbishment process and are spruced up for resale. Others that have truly reached their end of life are dismantled for valuable minerals that were once mined using carbon-intensive methods. The same minerals are sold to recycling companies who supply them for jewelry or currency minting. Voila, welcome to the circular economy.

A study indicates that 77% of Americans and Australians surveyed wanted to learn about sustainable everyday habits and the ways they can contribute to a healthier planet. While sustainability and renewable energy are centuries old concepts (didn’t our ancestors solely rely on wind to blow their sails?) innovations in this field are ripe. Cutting edge processes are widening the net for circular economies, which will help reduce the carbon impact on our environment. From ditching single use plastic bags and cups to investing in refurbished phones, TVs, and laptops - we all want our efforts to count and make a difference. Which is why it helps to be in the know and understand the most prominent trends and patterns in green tech. Top 3 Green Technology Trends We’re Rooting For Circular Waste Management Circular Waste Management has its roots in smart recycling. This model of manufacturing and management doesn’t see waste as ‘waste’. Rather, as a raw material that could be used for something new. A circular economy in the tech sector encourages every player in the industry to be less ‘resource-intensive’. It’s all about redesigning materials and eventually reducing the negative impact technology usage has on the environment. In 2023, this practice is picking up speed. Innovative start ups are recognizing the importance of precious materials that are mined from the earth using scarce resources. These materials do not belong in landfills. They can be easily upcycled and used in refurbished laptops, phones, and other preloved electronics. At Reebelo, we’re striving to address the fear and hesitation associated with reconditioned tech. Considering ourselves active members of the circular economy, it is our mission to sell 100% functional everyday refurbished devices that help your hip-pocket and the environment. Carbon Capture & Storage A must follow trend for 2023 is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). This revolutionary process aims to capture carbon dioxide emissions from the source, transporting them safely, and then storing them in deep underground cellars. The roots of this innovative idea lie in the premise that simply limiting emissions is no longer enough to tackle global warming. The percentage of carbon in the atmosphere needs to be actively drawn out. Capture 6, a startup in green tech, is aiming to capture and store carbon dioxide, starting with New Zealand. The nation emits 80 million tones of greenhouse gasses a year. Beginning with 5000 tons, Capture 6 will use sea water and renewable energy sources like solar and wind to draw out these gasses and store them in underground tanks. What a fantastic way to help New Zealand up its efforts to reduce carbon footprint! Eco-Friendly Laptops & Other Electronics We’ve previously talked in length about carbon neutral laptops on our blog. An interesting read and an even more fascinating concept! Refurbished or reconditioned tech like laptops and phones are a definite step towards normalizing eco-friendly devices. A step further is seeing more and more manufacturers using sustainable and green technologies to produce brand new tech products. We all know how Apple is setting up solar and wind farms to power its data centers, and also help suppliers transition to sustainable sources of power. What goes unnoticed, however, are the small, incremental, eco-friendly changes in your favorite gadgets. Case in point: one of the best and fastest selling refurbished laptops on our website, Microsoft Surface Pro 7+, is Energy Star certified. Why? Its Type Cover is wrapped in a carbon neutral material called Alcantara. It is distributed from a 100% renewable-powered distribution center, and It uses 15%-16% less power compared to previous models. Now, isn’t green energy a marvel on its own? And boy, are we here for it. 🙌

How To Quality Check a Refurbished iPhone

From just one serving of a carbon neutral laptop, you receive: 0g of lead 0% mercury & PVC 71% energy efficiency 94% fiber packaging 100% good vibes Disclaimer: You may only want to use carbon neutral laptops after you read this article. The good vibes are strong - you may never see laptops the same way again... Caution is advised. You’ve heard of sustainable energy. You’ve read about companies announcing net zero targets. And you’ve committed yourself to better recycling and eliminating single-use plastics. But what in the name-of-everything-bright-and-shiny is a carbon neutral laptop? The easy answer, if you please, is that carbon neutral laptops are a mix of everything we just listed. Everything you’ve heard or read so far about combating climate change - these laptops are a real life implementation of those principles. They’re changing the production and consumption of everyday tech. How are these devices any different from regular laptops or tablets? What Makes Laptops Sustainable & Carbon Neutral? There are multiple factors that contribute to these laptops getting the eco-friendly stamp. 1. Who is making them? Where are these laptops manufactured, and in what conditions? Are working conditions suitable for factory workers? Are they given rights to form unions? Are they being exploited with overtime? There’s an entire science that goes into ethical labor laws, and unbeknown to many of us, following these laws has a huge impact on the ethical rating of your favorite laptop. A case in point: Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct - a regulation that mandates maintaining healthy work spaces for all. The brand requires its suppliers to respect, honor, and dignify factory workers. 2. What materials are used? Sustainable laptops boast a high percentage of recycled materials. From minerals like tin, cobalt, and copper to packaging materials - everything should reflect a commitment to helping the environment. Buying refurbished laptops, for instance, ensures that some level of recycling was incorporated into parts replacement or the same device was given a new life, a new home. A case in point: Lenovo’s Thinkpad Z13 and Z16 - both of which are manufactured with recycled vegan leather, recycled aluminum, and 90% Post Consumer Content (PCC). The company itself has pledged a net zero commitment by 2025-2026. 3. How easy is it to repair & upgrade? Ease in upgrading and repairing reduces the environmental impact of eco-friendly laptops. They can either be traded in for newer devices or can be repaired for minor issues caused by faulty parts. Refurbished or reconditioned laptops are a great carbon neutral choice. Already in the market, these laptops eventually have a lower carbon footprint and can be spruced up for resale. And trust us, when bought certified, you can barely tell the difference between these and brand new devices. Next time when you’re deciding whether refurbished laptops are good or not, you’ll have more food for thought to make a sustainable decision. A case in point: With Apple’s well-known trade-in program, customers can give back their old devices that are resold as excellent quality refurbished laptops. Similarly, Dell’s sustainable laptops are known to be easily repairable - thanks to minimum PVC used in manufacturing. We’re Here for This Climate Conscious Ecosystem. Are You? For a laptop to be environmentally friendly and sustainable, we have to take ownership of its lifecycle. From the collection and assembly of materials and parts, to usage and to the end of its life. We play a part. Recognizing your role in this process is the true essence of celebrating Earth Day. Every step; from using one less plastic bottle to responsibly charging your devices, is an investment towards a better future.

Carbon Neutral Laptops, Anyone?

The Rise of Refurbished Laptops - An Inspirational Case of Sustainable Tech Innovation Imagine this: your refurbished laptop looks great and works perfectly. You found the exact model, color, and specs you wanted. It aligns with your zealous commitment to the planet while also costing a lot less than you anticipated. Sounds good right? Maybe too good to be true? Well it’s not. If you’re thinking that only new devices can fulfill your needs, or that buying refurbished is ‘settling’, then you need to read this. You’re not alone - this is a common, though uninformed, perception. And that’s why we think it’s time for a discussion on the rise of refurbished laptops and the innovation that goes into them. Let’s Start With Some Facts The Refurbished Computer and Laptop Market Report by Transparency Market Research indicates that by 2031, this industry will be worth US$8 billion with Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific being the biggest markets. The reusing or reconditioning of laptops has opened the floodgates of demand with supply equally rising and showing no signs of slowing down. From academic institutions to global enterprises, these devices have become the bread and butter of modern day connectivity. Before refurbished laptops rose to prominence (aka the Dark Ages), combating climate change and promoting sustainability was a difficult puzzle for the tech industry to solve. Users constantly required new upgrades and manufacturers were there to fuel this need. With so much e-waste entering landfill, the environment began to suffer. The preloved laptop market quickly became a key solution - thanks largely to innovations that made it possible to refurbish devices all across the world. Refurbished Laptops & Innovative Solutions - 4 Processes That Have Seen The Most Change It wouldn't be incorrect to say that sustainable technological innovations have been key to the rise of refurbished laptops. Likewise, this sector has blossomed thanks to the demand from consumers for cutting edge technology that is tied to high awareness for environmental sustainability. The global refurbished laptop market has now reached US$11.3 billion. This is not a small, cottage industry, working to appear on the global map. The refurbed market is a fully fledged eagle ready to soar. It is a sophisticated global network that can ensure a device is delivered to you without a speck of dust under the keys and absolutely no data crumbs in its trail. And this is all thanks to four key innovations: 1. Battery Life & Types Where your reconditioned MacBook Air may have led the innovation in design and portability, sustainable battery solutions are the next disruptive innovation on the horizon. There is a lot of research underway that will soon make the short lifespan of batteries a thing of the past. Consider these examples: • Biofuel Laptop Batteries You may not conjure the image of a clean, gleaming rechargeable battery when you think of biofuels. But really, that’s about to change, all thanks to another innovative solution within the sustainable energy genre. Batteries that are powered by a few milliliters of alcohol and enzymes have been in the makes for a few years now at St. Louis University Laboratories. Similar to enzymes in our bodies producing chemical energy, these biofuel cells can help power electronic devices without the reliance on electric power or mass-scale production of metal intensive battery units. • Solar Powered Batteries Solar powered batteries give remote working and living-off-the-grid a whole new meaning. Whether you have access to electricity or not, your refurbished MacBook Pro or Windows Surface 4 will keep you connected and working as you take in the majestic sight of the Rockies. Sustainable solar charging is now also part of hiking backpacks, giving on-the-go nature lovers a chance to work while being at their favorite spots around the world. 2. Data Erasure Software Imagine questioning yourself whether refurbished laptops are good, and then finally taking the plunge for your first ever reconditioned device. Only to unbox it and find a stranger’s pictures on it… Data crumbs, remember? And not exactly the emotions you wanted to show in the unboxing video! Let’s rewind. Thanks to innovative techniques in permanent data erasure, such instances are a far off possibility when you buy refurbished from certified sellers. Sophisticated software has the power to erase all past data from preloved laptops without affecting their performance. This can be done wired or remotely, on a single device or a fleet of laptops - the possibilities are endless. Professional data erasure reduces security risk, improves efficiency, and plays an important role in smoothening our transition into a sustainable, circular economy for tech. 3. Hardware & Software Diagnostics Running diagnostics tests for renewed laptops is an important step for certified refurbishers. These advanced tests can crawl the internal and external components of a device within minutes. The results drawn point to the health of the laptop and the kind of repairs needed. From testing the RAM, memory, and software to the very specs of the webcam, battery, and speakers, refurbished diagnostics have come a long way due to constant innovation. 4. Material & Energy Resources While you may be drawn to a reconditioned MacBook Air 2022 for its sleek and modern design, it’s also worth noting that your favorite notebook is made with sustainable materials and energy sources. Apple is one of those forward thinkers that have a very ambitious ‘green’ agenda. The company aims to be 100% carbon neutral by 2030 - for all its processes, products, and the entire supply chain. Moreover, a 200 megawatt wind farm in Oregon powers its massive Prineville data center. This is just one in many sites where it has mined renewable energy sources to continue developing cutting edge processes. Similarly, other tech companies have also risen to the occasion. Case in point: Dell manufacturing laptops that inherently use 25% less energy than previous models. This reduction comes at the heels of efficient circuits, recycled materials, and green sources of power. How Far Will This Innovation Take Us? From alcohol powered cells to upcycling laptop parts, to power developing countries with old batteries- this really is just the beginning of the circular economy journey. The United Nations University reported that global e-waste is set to double by 2050. While e-waste is a serious current issue, it can be controlled with innovative procedures that ingrain sustainability at every step; from production to usage, and all the way to disposing and recycling. But no one person or organization can do it alone. Refurbished laptops are part of an innovation cycle that will continue if we all support it. So here’s to lengthening the lifespans of our current laptops, buying refurbished, and being active members of the circular economy. Cheers!

The Rise of Refurbished Laptops - An Inspirational Case of Sustainable Tech Innovation
Imagine this: your refurbished laptop looks great and works perfectly. You found the exact model, color, and specs you wanted. It aligns with your zealous commitment to the planet while also costing a lot less than you anticipated. 
Sounds good right? Maybe too good to be true? Well it’s not.
If you’re thinking that only new devices can fulfill your needs, or that buying refurbished is ‘settling’, then you need to read this. 
You’re not alone - this is a common, though uninformed, perception. And that’s why we think it’s time for a discussion on the rise of refurbished laptops and the innovation that goes into them.
 
Let’s Start With Some Facts
The Refurbished Computer and Laptop Market Report by Transparency Market Research indicates that by 2031, this industry will be worth US$8 billion with Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific being the biggest markets. The reusing or reconditioning of laptops has opened the floodgates of demand with supply equally rising and showing no signs of slowing down. From academic institutions to global enterprises, these devices have become the bread and butter of modern day connectivity.
Before refurbished laptops rose to prominence (aka the Dark Ages), combating climate change and promoting sustainability was a difficult puzzle for the tech industry to solve. Users constantly required new upgrades and manufacturers were there to fuel this need. With so much e-waste entering landfill, the environment began to suffer.
The preloved laptop market quickly became a key solution - thanks largely to innovations that made it possible to refurbish devices all across the world. 
 
Refurbished Laptops &amp; Innovative Solutions - 4 Processes That Have Seen The Most Change
It wouldn't be incorrect to say that sustainable technological innovations have been key to the rise of refurbished laptops. Likewise, this sector has blossomed thanks to the demand from consumers for cutting edge technology that is tied to high awareness for environmental sustainability.
The global refurbished laptop market has now reached <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1309150/global-refurbished-pc-market-size/">US$11.3 billion</a>. This is not a small, cottage industry, working to appear on the global map. The refurbed market is a fully fledged eagle ready to soar. It is a sophisticated global network that can ensure a device is delivered to you without a speck of dust under the keys and absolutely no data crumbs in its trail.
And this is all thanks to four key innovations: 
<h4 style="padding-left: 30px;">1.    Battery Life &amp; Types </h4>
Where your reconditioned MacBook Air may have led the innovation in design and portability, sustainable battery solutions are the next disruptive innovation on the horizon. There is a lot of research underway that will soon make the short lifespan of batteries a thing of the past. Consider these examples: 
<h4 style="padding-left: 30px;">•    Biofuel Laptop Batteries</h4>
You may not conjure the image of a clean, gleaming rechargeable battery when you think of biofuels. But really, that’s about to change, all thanks to another innovative solution within the sustainable energy genre. 
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
Batteries that are powered by a few milliliters of alcohol and enzymes have been in the <a href="https://www.greenbiz.com/article/biofuel-cell-could-replace-rechargeable-batteries">makes for a few years now at St. Louis Universit</a><a href="https://www.greenbiz.com/article/biofuel-cell-could-replace-rechargeable-batteries" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">y</a> Laboratories. Similar to enzymes in our bodies producing chemical energy, these biofuel cells can help power electronic devices without the reliance on electric power or mass-scale production of metal intensive battery units.

<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<h4 style="padding-left: 30px;">•    Solar Powered Batteries</h4>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
Solar powered batteries give remote working and living-off-the-grid a whole new meaning. Whether you have access to electricity or not, your refurbished MacBook Pro or <a href="https://reebelo.com/products/microsoft-surface-laptop-4-13-5-i-7-1185-g-7-4-8-g-hz-512-gb-platinum-16-gb-ram-excellent-joxrr">Windows Surface 4</a> will keep you connected and working as you take in the majestic sight of the Rockies. 
Sustainable <a href="https://www.treehugger.com/best-portable-solar-laptop-chargers-4858511">solar charging is now also part of hiking backpacks</a>, giving on-the-go nature lovers a chance to work while being at their favorite spots around the world.

<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<h4 style="padding-left: 30px;">2.    Data Erasure Software</h4>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Imagine questioning yourself whether refurbished laptops are good, and then finally taking the plunge for your first ever reconditioned device. Only to unbox it and find a stranger’s pictures on it… Data crumbs, remember? And not exactly the emotions you wanted to show in the unboxing video! </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Let’s rewind. Thanks to innovative techniques in permanent data erasure, such instances are a far off possibility when you buy refurbished from certified sellers. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Sophisticated software has the power to erase all past data from preloved laptops without affecting their performance. This can be done wired or remotely, on a single device or a fleet of laptops - the possibilities are endless. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Professional data erasure reduces security risk, improves efficiency, and plays an important role in smoothening our transition into a sustainable, circular economy for tech. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<h4 style="padding-left: 30px;">
3.    Hardware &amp; Software Diagnostics 
</h4>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Running diagnostics tests for renewed laptops is an important step for certified refurbishers. These advanced tests can crawl the internal and external components of a device within minutes. The results drawn point to the health of the laptop and the kind of repairs needed. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">From testing the RAM, memory, and software to the very specs of the webcam, battery, and speakers, refurbished diagnostics have come a long way due to constant innovation. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"></div>

<h3 style="padding-left: 30px;"></h3>
<h4 style="padding-left: 30px;">4.    Material &amp; Energy Resources</h4>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
While you may be drawn to a <a href="https://reebelo.com/collections/apple-macbook-air-2022-13-6-inch">reconditioned MacBook Air 2022</a> for its sleek and modern design, it’s also worth noting that your favorite notebook is made with sustainable materials and energy sources. 
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
Apple is one of those forward thinkers that have a very ambitious ‘green’ agenda. The company aims to be <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/07/apple-commits-to-be-100-percent-carbon-neutral-for-its-supply-chain-and-products-by-2030/">100% carbon neutral by 2030</a> - for all its processes, products, and the entire supply chain. 
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Moreover, a 200 megawatt wind farm in Oregon powers its massive Prineville data center. This is just one in many sites where it has mined renewable energy sources to continue developing cutting edge processes.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
Similarly, other tech companies have also risen to the occasion. Case in point: Dell manufacturing laptops that inherently use <a href="https://www.greenbiz.com/article/dells-efficiency-efforts-cut-computer-energy-use-25">25% less energy than previous models.</a> This reduction comes at the heels of efficient circuits, recycled materials, and green sources of power. 
</div>
 
How Far Will This Innovation Take Us?
From alcohol powered cells to upcycling laptop parts, to power developing countries with old batteries- this really is just the beginning of the circular economy journey.  
<a href="https://unu.edu/news/news/with-e-waste-predicted-to-double-by-2050-business-as-usual-is-not-an-option.html">The United Nations University</a> reported that global e-waste is set to double by 2050.

The Rise of Refurbished Laptops - An Inspirational Case of Sustainable Tech Innovation

Australia Fueling Its Net Zero Targets With Low-Carbon Technology Refurbished devices have quickly turned into a permanent category for electronics stores. And while this sector is providing cost savings and lucrative revenues to these sellers, it is also helping countries on their path to net zero carbon targets. Australia is a prime example. A highly ranked innovative hub of the world, Australia’s tech sector is worth A$167 billion. A huge proportion of these earnings comes from small and medium sized companies that are leading the path to creating and encouraging sustainable technology. The Australian Government’s 2050 net zero targets are capitalising on this trend. It is aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by “delivering results through technology, not taxes.” And to do so, the government has put in place low emission technology solutions that will evolve the way Australians use IT in various facets of life. A Highly Aware Customer Base - A Big Win for Refurbished Technologies A high level of awareness within the masses has been a big push for the rise of refurbished technology in Australia. Buyers are now more conscious of the way they spend, and how their spending habits impact the environment. More than 70% of people in the country hope to lead an environmentally friendly life, and almost 90% want to make sustainable, refurbished purchases. It’s safe to say that educational awareness has had a huge impact on buying and consumption patterns - something the government hopes to further emphasize with its ambitious net zero targets. A smart move indeed. By placing the consumer at the center of this change, lawmakers are striving to spur a revolution from within. And by providing even more jobs and economic stability - a shift in emission intensive technologies will be a welcomed change. As a result, 7 in 10 Australians believe the government should set tactical targets to limit climate change and global warming on a domestic stage. At this level, it becomes every individual’s responsibility to carry the baton for eco-friendly tech consumption. The much-talked-of Technology Investment Roadmap is the cornerstone of this movement. Its heavy focus on renewable energy, and the help it can offer locals in using technology wisely, will definitely set an example for the rest of the world.

Australia Fueling Its Net Zero Targets With Sustainable Technology

If you’ve been following Reebelo on social media and keeping up with our global presence in the circular tech industry, you’d know by now how we feel about the best refurbished laptops: Refreshing & Charming. There’s something heart-warming about giving a second life to a piece of technology we once loved dearly. Modern, state-of-the-art laptops are so much more than just their cosmetic appearance. The effort, processes, and resources that go into the manufacturing are significant; each laptop deserves to reach the full potential of its useful life, even if a past owner has moved onto something new. Refurbished computers really are the future and at Reebelo, we’re dedicated to making them a new norm. If that means we must take some time out of our day to bust a few myths we often hear from naysayers, so be it. Let’s get busting! 5 Myths About Buying the Best Refurbished Laptops Here are the five most common myths about refurbished laptops that we hear from customers. Myth #1: Refurbished Laptops are Nearing the End of Their Life Not true! According to experts, some of the best refurbished laptops are just 1-2 years old. In fact, a large majority isn’t even used before it is returned to the seller. Before they go back on the market, refurbishers conduct additional quality checks and take all the necessary steps to restore them to their former glory. So no, refurbished laptops are nowhere near the end of their life. They have the potential to become your best buddies for the next 3-5 years, at least. Busted! Myth #2: The Best Refurbished or Used Laptops Will Need Too Much Maintenance This one has been around the longest - and is definitely not true!. Tech enthusiasts are humble people who trust the power and stability of technology in an ever-changing world - the misconception that refurbished laptops were once ‘broken’ is frustrating, to say the least. Refurbished laptops have no issues with performance, configuration or quality. Trusted and certified vendors place these devices on shelves next to brand new ones after they pass multiple, strict checks and balances. Busted! Myth #3: Refurbished Laptops are for Those Who Can’t Buy New Not true! There is way more to the term ‘refurbished’ than meets the eye. Yes, it’s the apparent re-vamp of computer parts and chips. Yes, it’s the same laptop passed on to multiple users. Yes, you can find the best refurbished laptop deals priced much lower than new machines. It’s all true. But the bigger truth lies in the larger than life impact a buyer makes on the environment when they decide to give refurbished a try. In an average month, you – along with Reebelo – help save 57 million liters of drinking water, 412 tons of greenhouse gasses, and 1.3 tons of e-waste. Now those are the real savings making us all richer, aren’t they? So yes, busted! Myth #4: Refurbished Laptops Do Not Come with Warranty They do at Reebelo! ! Nothing scares an excited buyer more than faulty tech with no warranty. But let us assure you – that’s not part of the preloved laptop package at Reebelo. When we sell you a refurbished laptop, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. The best refurbished laptops come with a 3 month warranty that covers service, parts and in some cases, the product itself. Therefore, when considering such a purchase, make sure you reach out to the best reputable refurbished laptop sellers that have all these processes in place. Busted! Myth #5: Refurbished Laptop Computers Don’t Have the Latest Technology We saved the best one for last. One of the most common misconceptions is that refurbished laptops don’t have all the latest bells and whistles. They’re considered experienced, but old - like that friend you’d go to for advice but not when you’re filming your next TikTok (ouch!). The truth, however, is quite surprising. As we discussed previously, most preloved laptops are not at the end of their life at all. Instead, they’re gently used devices that were given away to refurbishers for a variety of reasons. It’s also safe to say that technology has now reached a point where the difference in processor speeds between two generations of CPUs is barely noticeable at moderate workloads. Well, as long as you’re buying certified refurbished from a trusted source, that is. Busted! Where Do We Stand Now…? We’re currently at a juncture where buying the best refurbished laptops shouldn’t be an afterthought. It should be the first thought that helps you make a change that is bigger than any one of us – the planet. As you enjoy unboxing a reconditioned laptop, here’s to rejoicing that you also made a positive impact on the environment by loving preloved.

Busting 5 Myths About the Best Refurbished Laptops

A tap here and a swipe there. Done. Let’s check off your grocery list, utility bills, social calendar, and the donations you promised your favorite charity. That’s the ease and convenience of using a smartphone today. However, how often do we think about the larger than life impact of using these ultra-smart devices on the environment? With the number of phones outnumbering human beings on earth, are you ever curious to know how ‘green’ your device really is? The Modern Smartphone & Our Fragile Environment The first smartphone was developed in 1992. As tech circles rejoiced over this marvelous feet, environmentalists began a countdown. Between 1990 to 2021, greenhouse gas emissions increased by 50%, with carbon dioxide contributing 80% to the total. Coincidence, you say? Read on... Research suggests that a new smartphone emits 85kgs of carbon in its first year. Various studies indicate that within this pie, 95% comes from the manufacturing process alone. Therefore, producing a smartphone is an emission intensive process; and hence, the root cause of the environmental impact. Tonnes of carbon is released into the atmosphere during the molding, filtering and mining of the various metals used during manufacturing. Let’s break this down and identify the most prominent factors. 1. Does it Come from New or Refurbished Material The impact of using recycled or refurbished materials is considerably less because these metals have already been mined. Recycled tin, aluminum and cobalt are finding new life in speakers, batteries and cases. Using these recycled materials helps increase sustainability and reduce our environmental impact, which is the best way to continue benefiting from technology well into the future. 2. Does the Manufacturing Plant Use Renewable Sources of Power? How are manufacturing plants powered? Using renewable sources of energy like solar and wind power reduces emissions that would otherwise be let out into the environment in the form of harmful gasses and sewage waste. A prime example is Apple. As of 2018, all Apple facilities around the globe are being powered by solar energy. This includes data centers, office buildings and retail stores. To align its goal to combat climate change with suppliers, the brand actively helps partners switch to renewable sources of power with 23 suppliers already on board. 3. Is Energy Efficiency a Priority? Energy and process efficiency is another factor that determines the environmental impact of manufacturing smartphones. Maintaining ideal levels of temperature and humidity is essential for semiconductor manufacturing. About 30% of all power needed is devoted to maintaining these constants at all times. Improving older factories and warehouses can significantly reduce the amount of resources needed to do so. So, What Are You Going To Do About The Environmental Impact Of Your Smartphone? By 2040, the Information and Communication Industry could potentially be responsible for 14% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. In 2007, the same stat was a mere 1%. Many smartphones are only used for up to two years before they are discarded. That’s an awfully short lifespan to justify the emission of gasses that will hang around the atmosphere for at least 300 years. Thankfully, trends have started to change. According to Mobile Muster, 30% of Australians are now using their favorite iPhones or Samsung phones for more than 2 years. And more than 20% have invested in refurbished upgrades. How can we further improve this trend, you ask? Well, using smartphones is a necessity; so is upgrading them. However, advocating for lengthening their lifespan and refurbishing them where possible can help reduce their carbon footprint. As you scroll to this last paragraph on your smartphone (thumbs up if it’s refurbished!), let’s make a pact to atone for this device’s environmental impact by taking simple steps like:

<div style="padding-left: 30px;">How are manufacturing plants powered? Using renewable sources of energy like solar and wind power reduces emissions that would otherwise be let out into the environment in the form of harmful gasses and sewage waste.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
A prime example is Apple. As of 2018, <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2018/04/apple-now-globally-powered-by-100-percent-renewable-energy/">all Apple facilities around the globe are being powered by solar energy.</a> This includes data centers, office buildings and retail stores. To align its goal to combat climate change with suppliers, the brand actively helps partners switch to renewable sources of power with 23 suppliers already on board.

<div style="padding-left: 30px;">3.    Is Energy Efficiency a Priority?</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<ul style="padding-left: 30px;"></ul>
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Energy and process efficiency is another factor that determines the environmental impact of manufacturing smartphones.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">Maintaining ideal levels of temperature and humidity is essential for semiconductor manufacturing. About 30% of all power needed is devoted to maintaining these constants at all times. Improving older factories and warehouses can significantly reduce the amount of resources needed to do so. </div>

So, What Are You Going To Do About The Environmental Impact Of Your Smartphone? 
By 2040, the Information and Communication Industry could potentially be responsible for 14% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. In 2007, the same stat was a mere 1%. 
Many smartphones are only used for up to two years before they are discarded.  That’s an awfully short lifespan to justify the emission of gasses that will hang <a href="https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2915/the-atmosphere-getting-a-handle-on-carbon-dioxide/#:~:text=Once%20it's%20added%20to%20the,timescale%20of%20many%20human%20lives.">around the atmosphere for at least 300 years.</a> 
Thankfully, trends have started to change. According to Mobile Muster, <a href="https://www.mobilemuster.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Mobile-phone-use-reuse-and-recycling.pdf">30% of Australians are now using their favorite iPhones or Samsung phones</a> for more than 2 years. And more than 20% have invested in refurbished upgrades.
How can we further improve this trend, you ask? Well, using smartphones is a necessity; so is upgrading them. However, advocating for lengthening their lifespan and refurbishing them where possible can help reduce their carbon footprint.
As you scroll to this last paragraph on your <a href="https://reebelo.com/collections/apple-iphone?sort=best-selling">smartphone (thumbs up if it’s refurbished!)</a>, let’s make a pact to atone for this device’s environmental impact by taking simple steps like:

We’re Calling It - Here’s the Environmental Impact of Your Smartphone

I say, It’s in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally. - Phenomenal Woman, by Maya Angelou Little did Maya Angelou know that her powerful words, coined in 1978, would reflect the stories behind thousands of women finding their rightful places on the world stage. Breaking barriers, defying glass ceilings, breeding innovation, and refusing to be left out of the divisive old boy’s clubs. A discussion involving the biggest tech companies of the world is often incomplete without dedicating a moment to appreciate their founders. After all, these masterminds revolutionized the role technology plays in our lives. But how often do we talk about the women who not only spurred the change, but became the change our world wanted to see? Celebrating International Women’s Day would truly be incomplete without talking about the valuable role these trailblazers played in lighting up the world of technology. From Silicon Valley to outer space, there’s a woman’s name next to each achievement that humanity is so proud of today. 6 Wonder Women in Tech Who Led this Uphill Journey Ready to be surprised? Let’s take a look at some Wonder Women whose hard work and dedication helped play a part in forging the tech industry as we see it today. 1. Adele Goldeberg Adele Goldeberg’s work inspired Steve Job’s brainwave for the first Apple desktop computer. A programming enthusiast, she taught herself the basics of the language and then went on to pursue a Masters and PHD in Information Science from the University of Chicago. In the 70’s she began working at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center as a research and laboratory assistant. The unsung hero in a group of men, Adele pioneered the Smalltalk-80 programming language and helped design the first Graphic User Interface (GUI). She rose to stardom after Steve Job visited the research center in search of inspiration. Soon after witnessing the groundbreaking work at Xerox, Jobs was convinced that Goldberg’s technology ‘represented the future of computing.’ Without the GUI, your favorite high resolution, liquid retina displays with bursting colors would have never seen the light of day. Pearls of wisdom from Adele: “Don’t ask whether you can do something, but how to do it.” 2. Sheryl Sandberg Sheryl Sandberg is one of the most influential women in Silicon Valley. At Google, she was applauded for developing the search engine giant’s signature online advertising system. In 2007, she was appointed COO of Facebook. A Harvard economics graduate, Sheryl’s focus has always been women empowerment. Today she sits on the board of many non-profits like Women for Women International that helps female war survivors build a better life. “Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead” is her New York Times Best Selling Book about aiming high and achieving your dreams... Pearls of wisdom from Sheryl: “In the future there will be no women leaders, there will only be leaders.” 3. Sandy Lerner Sandy Lerner co-founded Cisco in 1984. She invented the router while working at Stanford University. Her goal was to enhance the quality of communication within the institution, and eventually for the masses. Now that we think of it, without Sandy’s immense contribution to the tech industry, communication with computers just wouldn’t be the same. These routers would eventually connect computer networks within buildings, cities, countries, and around the world. And the remote working ecosystems in place today wouldn’t even exist. As the company grew, Sandy and her husband accepted funding from outside investors, risking control of their intellectual property. Soon after, the new management couldn't see eye to eye, and one of the pioneers of big tech was fired from her own company. Pearls of wisdom from Sandy: “Do not give control to outside investors. 4. Reshma Saujani For Reshma, gender gaps and inequality in the field of coding were simply unacceptable. A graduate from the University of Illinois, Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and Yale Law, this trailblazer founded a unique organization called Girls Who Code in 2012. To date, 450,000 girls have studied coding programs under this umbrella. Reshma’s focus has also been empowering women from minority groups identified by low income and race. She later published “Girls Who Code: Learn to Code & Change the World” to make this knowledge easily accessible to the masses. Pearls of wisdom from Reshma: “If you haven’t failed yet, you haven’t tried anything. 5. Gywnne Shotwell Gywnne’s interest in space exploration led her to graduate with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics from Northwestern University. After a successful stint at Aerospace Corp. as Chief Engineer, she joined SpaceX and rose in ranks to become the president of the first private company to put satellites in outer space. Gywnne has overseen multiple space missions at NASA and actively advocates for STEM scholarships. Pearls of wisdom from Gywnne: “You can’t be on the cusp of innovation and at the forefront of technology if you’re wearing blinders.” 6. Donna Dubinksy Long before the Blackberry or the iPhone were conceptualized, Donna Dubinksy laid the groundwork for the PalmPilot. The first ever handheld device that would revolutionize all communication channels in the world. A Harvard Business Graduate, Donna led the software division at Apple, and later joined Palm as CEO. Her tireless work brought ease, convenience, and a modern approach to smartphone usage that was unthought of previously. Undoubtedly so, Donna’s contribution to the cutting-edge software and processors we see in the latest Apple iPhones can never be forgotten. Pearls of wisdom by Donna: “It strikes as a fundamental human need to be organized.” Have we piqued your interest yet? There are so many more amazing women in tech whose dedication and commitment is admirable. Learn about these trailblazers in the Women in Technology Hall of Fame. What International Women’s Day 2023 Means at Reebelo At Reebelo, we’d be incomplete without the strong and determined women on our team. We stand behind them, we see them and we support them. International Women’s Day 2023 strikes a special chord in our core. Why? Because this year’s theme – innovation and technological change for equality – is something we’ve dedicated ourselves to preaching as well. For us, this change is a change in buying patterns to save our planet, and this innovation is an innovation in the way we should consume refurbished technology. The time is now, and the time is right. Now you understand Just why my head’s not bowed. I don’t shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing, It ought to make you proud. Happy International Women’s Day!

I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,

The curl of my lips.

Alternatively, your main priority might be getting the best possible iPhone without necessarily paying for the absolute latest model, in which case the iPhone 12 Pro As New and iPhone 13 Pro As New are popular picks. At Reebelo, we're here to address any concerns you might have about pricing, quality, and reliability. Read on to discover more. Why Should I Buy Refurbished? You may wonder why you should consider purchasing a refurbished phone rather than a brand-new one. As we've mentioned above, the main reason is price. However, there are other factors that many of our customers also consider. A sustainable option: with the growing climate issues Planet Earth faces, buying a refurbished or pre-loved phone reduces electronic waste, which has a huge positive impact on the environment. Trusted experience: every purchase comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee and a up to 12-month warranty (depending on whether you purchase new or refurbished). Don't just take our word for it. Read the latest reviews on Trustpilot, where we are rated excellent. Is Purchasing Second-Hand Tech Safe? Buying second-hand directly from a seller may not always be safe if the purchase isn't on appropriately vetted avenues. Some risks include paying for a device that isn't top quality without an option to return it, possibly due to a poor refurbishment process. At Reebelo however, our refurbished devices undergo 70+ quality checkpoints to ensure the device is 100% functional. All refurbished devices also come with a 3-month warranty with no additional cost, so you can get a great deal without a promo code. So...Does Reebelo Have Any Promo Codes?

Is it really worth it to upgrade to Apple’s iPhone 12? Here’s a comparison between the latest iPhone 12, Samsung S20, and the Google Pixel 5.

Hey you shutterbugs out there! Nowadays, there are many high quality camera phones in the market that renders the need to lug around a chunky premium DSLR to snap your Instagram-worthy shot redundant. If you are on a budget and are shopping around for the best camera phone at low prices, check out second hand or refurbished camera phones! Older camera phone models can still be of high quality without burning a huge hole in your wallet. Moreover, if you would like to enjoy high quality photographs as a leisure photographer (instead of a professional one), get a refurbished or second hand camera phone that can take picturesque quality images. Some must-have features of a good camera phone include portability, user-friendliness as well as versatility. Other good-to-have features include the camera specs on the phone as well as the phone’s image optimisation capabilities. Secondary issues such as battery life can impact on the suitability of a phone for photography, especially photography over long durations. As such, we have compiled some of the best camera phones out there in the market in order to help you make your choice in getting the best camera phone for yourself! Here are some of the best 2020 camera phones in our opinion. iPhone 11 Pro Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Huawei P40 Pro Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus Google Pixel 3 XL 1) iPhone 11 Pro If you are an avid photographer with a larger budget as well as a keen eye for detail and quality, then the iPhone 11 Pro might be your dream camera phone. This camera phone contains a primary camera with a focal length of 26mm for everyday snapshots. Its ultra-wide camera with a focal length of 13mm would enable more details to be included in the frame without you having to retreat a step back while snapping a particular shot. If you are shooting portraits, the telephoto camera function in the iPhone 11 Pro can zoom into your subjects to produce nuanced and high-definition photographs. The good news is that if you are shopping for an iPhone 11 Pro in Singapore, Reebelo offers refurbished iPhone 11 Pro models in various colours at discounted prices. All Reebelo’s refurbishing partners have been certified and proven reliable. Moreover, if you are concerned about getting a refurbished phone that has been stolen or previously blacklisted, fret not when you buy one at Reebelo. This is because Reebelo partners with the Singapore Police Force to ensure that no phone transacted on our platform is a stolen or blacklisted one. 2) Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Alright, if you are not an Apple or iPhone fan in general, but still are willing to spend a bit more money on a decent quality camera phone, check out the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra that has more than two hundred megapixels across its front and back cameras.

Reebelo expands its management team

The smartphones that we see dotting the current marketplace are state-of-the-art and contain various user-friendly features. Yet, the latest smartphones are not that different from their counterparts in the recent one or two years. Therefore, instead of shopping around for a brand new smartphone that is not that groundbreaking anyway, perhaps it is high time to consider getting a used or refurbished one for your next phone upgrade. One of the best benefits of getting a used or refurbished phone instead of a brand new one is that you as the customer can save tons of money. However, there are scary stories of people purchasing stolen phones unknowingly (only to get into trouble with the law later on) and people getting severely damaged phones and having to pay much more in the long-term to repair or replace them. Yet getting a used or refurbished smartphone does not necessarily have to be a traumatic experience, if you do your due diligence and have a backup plan in store in the unlikely case of an unpleasant incident. Also, “used” does not mean “not good” simply because the phone in question belonged to someone else previously. Ask yourself the following questions below to reduce the possibility of a negative incident smearing your purchase experience. #1: “What type of phone best suits my budget? ” If you are an iPhone or Android fan and you get the kick out of obtaining the latest iPhones or Android devices, you might be more willing to spend four-digit numbers to get your desired smartphone. Nowadays, iPhones and the latest Samsung Android phones cost thousands, and are beyond the reach of many budget-savvy people (including myself). If you identify with those of us in the budget-conscious tribe, you might choose mid-range and older smartphones that nevertheless contain all the necessary features to suit your needs. For instance, if you are an iPhone fan and are not that particular about the image quality or shutter speed of your smartphone camera, you might be content with older iPhone models like the iPhone 7 model that costs as low as $279 at Reebelo or the iPhone 6 series that can cost as low as $149 at Reebelo. Otherwise, if you are an Android fan, consider cheaper Samsung phone options like the Samsung Galaxy A Series or the Samsung Galaxy S9 model that can cost as low as $319. #2: “Is the seller from whom I am going to buy my phone a reliable one?” Now that you might have already determined the most suitable type of phone that addresses your needs and falls within your budget, the next important question to keep in mind would be whether the seller from whom you are going to purchase your phone is a reputable one or otherwise. You might have to put in a tad more effort doing the necessary background checks and due diligence to ensure that the individual or retail seller you are getting your device from is a legit one, but hey, the effort is worth it. Being prudent will help you better avoid the hassle of paying upfront for your desired phone only to have a dubious seller walk away with your money without showing up with the promised phone! We at Reebelo have established our credibility and reputation in the market as a trustworthy marketplace of second hand and refurbished electronic devices. Our devices are of high quality to maximise your money when you spend it with us. Furthermore, Reebelo only works with trusted refurbishing partners for our refurbished goods and never compromises on quality! Rest assured when you get your phone from us at Reebelo, your phone would not be a stolen one as Reebelo works with the Singapore Police Force to ensure that no device transacted on our platform is a stolen one. #3: “What was the original price of the phone compared to its current resale price?” While there is no hard and fast rule to determine the prices of used and refurbished products, typically they should cost at least 20% less than their brand new counterparts. Therefore, bear this fact in mind when you shop for your ideal used or refurbished device, especially when you shop for it online. Always check the prices quoted online for refurbished or used phones with the prices of their identical brand new counterparts to safeguard your wallet. That being said, you must be realistic on your price wishes as prices of used and refurbished products should not be too low. This is because there are costs that are factored into refurbishing phones when the phones are thoroughly cleaned, repaired and inspected (with 40+ quality checks). If the price of a particular phone is way too low but you do not seem to know the reason why, the best bet for you would be to rethink your decision on purchasing that phone. Sometimes, rock-bottom prices might be too good to be true. #4: “Does the phone have a warranty policy from the seller or manufacturer?” Get maximum longevity when you buy a used or refurbished phone by checking if your desired phone contains an accompanying warranty policy from either the seller or the manufacturer. If your phone has been refurbished by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), it would come with certain warranties that would protect your interests as a customer, such as enabling you to send your phone back to the OEM for repairs within a specific time period after purchase should your phone exhibit any previously unknown defects. At Reebelo, all our phones come with at least a 1-month warranty in order for you to maximise the quality of your phone to derive the most benefits out of your purchase! Enjoy Maximum Savings And Get Your Quality Phone At Reebelo! Compared to buying a brand new phone with an expensive price tag, getting a second hand or refurbished device is an excellent way to be more vigilant about your purchasing power and save your wallet from bursting. Yet, not all refurbished products would be worth the money (however little the money is) you would spend as some of them are not to be trusted. Fortunately, if you are in Singapore, you do not have to look further than Reebelo, Singapore’s trusted and established second-hand electronics marketplace. Get your desired phone and other electronic device from Reebelo and enjoy significant savings. What is better, trade your existing device in during the same time you make a purchase to have further savings. Simply fill up the form here to get started!

Factors To Consider Before Getting Your Used or Refurbished Smartphone

For all you Android and Samsung fans out there in the know, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G was launched just a few days ago in August 2020. If you are clamoring for this latest Samsung addition because its Samsung Notes has the ‘best app that Samsung ever created’ (at least claimed by Samsung), or if you are looking for a refurbished or used Samsung model, you might be thinking of getting rid of your old Samsung phone by selling it or trading it in. This is because the exorbitant price of this latest Samsung phone is almost a whopping $2,000, and the cash you could get when you sell your old Samsung Galaxy or Note could help you offset some of the costs. Yet you might be unsure of where you could sell your old Samsung phone in Singapore to get the highest Samsung Note or Samsung Galaxy buyback price possible. Hence we are providing you with a guide (see below) on how you could sell your old or used Samsung phone - at the highest price in Singapore. #1: Sell Your Old Samsung Phone At A Physical Mobile Phone Store Alright, you probably saw this option coming. This is because Singapore has various malls (both in the city centre and in the heartlands) with many physical mobile phone stores. After all, heading to the nearest physical mobile phone store sounds like the best option, since you would merely have to hand in your phone for inspection, agree upon the quoted price from the store assistant, and sell it. Upon closer thought nonetheless, you might want to think twice before instantly heading to your neighbourhood phone store to sell your phone. The reason is because you might not sell your Samsung phone at the highest buyback price possible, simply because many of such mobile phone stores in Singapore do not offer sellers like you with the most competitive buyback prices in Singapore. Another reason why you might face difficulties in successfully selling your old Samsung phone at these physical outlets is that some of these outlets might reject your phone especially if it visibly contains scratches, cracks or other forms of damage. If they do accept your old Samsung phone, they might try to bargain their buyback price with you on account of the existing damages on your current phone. The result is that you as the seller would stand to lose out in monetary terms. #2: Sell Your Old Samsung Phone On Peer-To-Peer Marketplaces So, you have ruled out going to physical mobile phone stores. Well, the next thing you might think of would be to sell your old Samsung phone on peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplaces like eBay and Carousell Singapore. After all, you might reason, there are tons of customers out there who might want to lay hands on a Samsung Galaxy S or Samsung Galaxy Note like your phone. Nonetheless, not every interested customer might be still keen to pay the highest buyback price for your Samsung phone, as many of them are individuals with budgets of their own. What is more, you would likely have to physically travel to meet your prospective customer, thus incurring extra time and effort, in order to conduct your sales transaction. If the prospective customer sees your current phone and rejects it after meeting you, on the pretext that its condition is not as pristine as he or she thought it out to be, you would have totally wasted your time. Should you wish to trade your old Samsung phone in with the prospective customer, you would be running a risk that the other party is handing over a defective or stolen phone. This is because P2P marketplaces do not have ample security features and reassurances to ensure that no fraudsters are out there trying to make quick bucks out of unsuspecting people like you. Again, if you really want to to be 100% sure that the other party is genuine, you would have to invest a great deal of time, effort and resources in conducting your own due diligence checks that might not be entirely foolproof in the first place. Evidently from the above scenarios, you as a seller would have to forge out additional costs in terms of time and resources to make a successful sale on such P2P marketplaces. #3: Sell Your Samsung Phone In At Reebelo So now what are the options left? you might ask at this point. The good news is that Singapore already has an established and reliable second hand electronics marketplace known as Reebelo to address your safety, price and quality concerns when you sell your old Samsung phone. Importantly, Reebelo works with several top buyback vendors in Singapore to ensure that you get the highest price for your device.

To make things super convenient for you, Reebelo provides you with a free pick-up and drop-off service right at your doorstep in order for you to sell your Samsung phone effortlessly and in a contact-free manner.

Hence we are providing you with a guide (see below) on how you could sell your old or used Samsung phone - at the highest price in Singapore. 
 
<h3>#1: Sell Your Old Samsung Phone At A Physical Mobile Phone Store </h3>
Alright, you probably saw this option coming. This is because Singapore has various malls (both in the city centre and in the heartlands) with many physical mobile phone stores. After all, heading to the nearest physical mobile phone store sounds like the best option, since you would merely have to hand in your phone for inspection, agree upon the quoted price from the store assistant, and sell it.
Upon closer thought nonetheless, you might want to think twice before instantly heading to your neighbourhood phone store to sell your phone. 
The reason is because you might not sell your Samsung phone at the highest buyback price possible, simply because many of such mobile phone stores in Singapore do not offer sellers like you with the most competitive buyback prices in Singapore. 
Another reason why you might face difficulties in successfully selling your old Samsung phone at these physical outlets is that some of these outlets might reject your phone especially if it visibly contains scratches, cracks or other forms of damage. If they do accept your old Samsung phone, they might try to bargain their buyback price with you on account of the existing damages on your current phone. The result is that you as the seller would stand to lose out in monetary terms.  
 
<h3>#2: Sell Your Old Samsung Phone On Peer-To-Peer Marketplaces </h3>
So, you have ruled out going to physical mobile phone stores. 
Well, the next thing you might think of would be to sell your old Samsung phone on peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplaces like eBay and Carousell Singapore. 
After all, you might reason, there are tons of customers out there who might want to lay hands on a Samsung Galaxy S or Samsung Galaxy Note like your phone. 
Nonetheless, not every interested customer might be still keen to pay the highest buyback price for your Samsung phone, as many of them are individuals with budgets of their own. 
What is more, you would likely have to physically travel to meet your prospective customer, thus incurring extra time and effort, in order to conduct your sales transaction. 
If the prospective customer sees your current phone and rejects it after meeting you, on the pretext that its condition is not as pristine as he or she thought it out to be, you would have totally wasted your time. 
Should you wish to trade your old Samsung phone in with the prospective customer, you would be running a risk that the other party is handing over a defective or stolen phone. This is because P2P marketplaces do not have ample security features and reassurances to ensure that no fraudsters are out there trying to make quick bucks out of unsuspecting people like you. 
Again, if you really want to to be 100% sure that the other party is genuine, you would have to invest a great deal of time, effort and resources in conducting your own due diligence checks that might not be entirely foolproof in the first place. 
Evidently from the above scenarios, you as a seller would have to forge out additional costs in terms of time and resources to make a successful sale on such P2P marketplaces. 
 
<h3>#3: Sell  Your Samsung Phone In At Reebelo </h3>
So now what are the options left? you might ask at this point. 
The good news is that Singapore already has an established and reliable second hand electronics marketplace known as <a href="https://www.reebelo.com/pages/sell-samsung-phone?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=sg_s2con_blog_lead_sales" target="_blank" title="Sell Samsung phones with Reebelo" rel="noopener noreferrer">Reebelo </a>to address your safety, price and quality concerns when you sell your old Samsung phone.

How To Sell Your Samsung Phone In Singapore

You might be eager with anticipation of the release of the newest iPhone 12 in September 2020. You are also eager to get rid of your old iPhone after having been with it for many months or years. Whether you are planning on getting the upcoming iPhone 12 or even last year’s iPhone 11, do not dump your used iPhone in an obscure corner of your house and leave it there to collect dust. That chunk of metal and glass is worth more than you think. Instead, sell your used iPhone or trade it in to fetch some extra dollars in order to mitigate the hole in your wallet should you decide to get the iPhone 12. If you are curious about where you can sell your Apple Phone in Singapore at a decent buyback price or if you are looking for a solid Apple Phone buyback provider, you are on the right page. Right below, we present a variety of options for you to consider when you sell or trade your old iPhone in. Also, read on to learn why you should sell your used/old iPhone at the highest buyback price in Singapore at Reebelo - to maximise your cash returns! #1: Sell Or Trade Your iPhone In With Someone You Know This option is a no-brainer for many of you out there. If you know someone who is looking to buy a used or old iPhone, or trade his or her existing iPhone in with your current one, the deal would be sealed in no time. Both you and the other party can negotiate the terms of the trade-in as well as the price at which the transaction should happen. Once both parties are interested and agree upon the mutually discussed terms, you can trade your iPhone in and receive the iPhone that you have wanted for some time! Yet, this option comes with its set of drawbacks. Firstly, you might not be able to maximise your cash returns or sell/trade your old iPhone in at the highest buyback price possible. Even if you hope you could sell or trade your phone in at the maximum buyback price, the fact remains that you are conducting this transaction with someone you know, such as a family member or a close friend. Therefore, it would be awkward for you to try to get the most money out of the transaction, unless you are very thick-skinned or if the other party is very obliging and generous. #2: Sell Or Trade Your Apple Phone In On A Peer-To-Peer Marketplace The next option for you to consider would be to sell your old Apple phone on a peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace like Carousell or eBay Singapore. In recent years, such P2P marketplaces have skyrocketed in popularity as they have low barriers to entry. This is because anyone and everyone can create an account and sell their used or old items at a certain price to willing buyers. Similarly, you might be keen on doing the same in order to get rid of your old Apple phone as soon as possible. After all, the value of your old Apple phone depreciates as each day goes by. If left at home for too long, you might stand to miss out on a significant amount of money. However, note that P2P marketplaces like Carousell have their disadvantages as well. For example, because of the low barriers to entry on these platforms, anyone and everyone can offer their old iPhones to trade in with yours. Not everyone would be willing to buy your old iPhone at the highest buyback price possible since there would be tons of people who would be willing to sell their old iPhones to them at lower prices. Therefore, with the huge competition on such platforms, you would be pressured into keeping your selling prices low. Moreover, some deceitful parties might be in a rush to get rid of their defective iPhones and try to persuade you to exchange your iPhone in return for theirs. What is worse is that you run the risk of getting a stolen iPhone that has been blacklisted or reported stolen. If you are caught with the stolen iPhone, you would end up in deep trouble with the authorities. #3: The Best Is To Sell Your Old iPhone To Reebelo If you are looking for a fuss-free and safe way to sell your old Apple phone in, Reebelo would be the answer to your concerns.

How To Sell Your Apple iPhone In Singapore

So you have ruled out on getting an iPhone for your next phone upgrade or purchase because of the sky-high price. Yet you still hanker for a high-end phone. You check the range of Samsung Galaxy phones available and eventually set your eyes on one or more of them. Again, due to the high prices (although possibly not as high as iPhone prices) of the Samsung phones that you have in mind, you eventually decide to get a used or refurbished Samsung phone at a discounted price. Nonetheless, getting a used or refurbished phone is not as straightforward as it might initially seem. You would need to conduct a bit of due diligence on your end to avoid the pitfalls that come with getting a second hand or refurbished Samsung phone. This is because the marketplace for secondhand phones is getting increasingly saturated and risky. More and more unreliable and dishonest sellers with poor quality phones are entering the secondhand electronic devices market, putting buyers like yourself at risk of getting scammed. To protect yourself when getting a quality Samsung used or refurbished phone while remaining safe from potential scams, read the checklist below. Check That The Phone Has Been Remanufactured By Samsung Engineers Getting a refurbished Samsung phone is not just getting a used Samsung phone that was previously owned by another person and then put up on eBay for sale. Instead, a refurbished Samsung phone, regardless of model, must have been completely inspected, checked and repaired by Samsung engineers (the Original Equipment Manufacturers) before being put up for resale. This quality inspection by Samsung would ensure that you would not be wasting your hard-earned money in buying this refurbished phone only to find out that it still has outstanding functional defects. At Reebelo, we partner with OEMs and various reliable partners to ensure that all refurbished Samsung phones are of excellent quality and are accompanied by solid warranty time frames to protect customers like yourself. Ensure That You Get What You Signed Up For When you are in a rush to settle on your desired refurbished or used Samsung phone, you might overlook details (such as the accessory box and accompanying products in addition to your phone) that could eventually cost you extra bucks in the end. What you should do is to conduct an accessory audit on the product specifications and the accessories that accompany your purchased Samsung phone. Check if your phone purchase includes the Samsung chargers and cables too. If your purchase excludes such important accessories like chargers and cables, you would have to spend more to get these missing accessories. How, then, will these extra purchases affect your total budget for this particular purchase? Will these extra spendings exceed your budget? If you choose to buy your Samsung phone from an unauthorised and dubious individual seller on eBay or Carousell, you run a greater risk of paying additional costs (hidden and not upfront) as many of these sellers are not transparent with customers like you on what you would be getting as a result of your purchase. In contrast, if you get your Samsung phone at a trusted secondhand marketplace like Reebelo, you would enjoy a transparent and straightforward purchase process as you would know exactly what you would be getting if you purchase a used or refurbished Samsung phone, and how much you would have to fork out as a result. Know Which Samsung Model Suits You Best The latest phone does not necessarily mean that it is the most suitable one for your needs. You could be spending hundreds or thousands of dollars for a more recent phone that might not adequately address what you really need. Instead, do a reality check on your needs versus your wants to ascertain which is the most appropriate Samsung phone model that caters to your lifestyle. If you are looking for a phone with a grip that is convenient to hold as you walk along the street and has a good camera that focuses on the subjects of the photographs you would take, consider the Samsung Galaxy A11 model. This phone has a 2MP Depth Camera that allows you to alter the depth of field before and after you take a shot. Moreover, the smooth curvatures of this phone enables you to hold it easily. You can shop and save big on your Samsung Galaxy A11 phone at Reebelo. Alternatively, if you prefer elegant phones and if you have a bigger budget to spare, consider the Samsung Galaxy Fold with a foldable screen and a 7.3-inch infinity flex display. Look forward to the dual experiences of a smartphone and a tablet with this model as you can open and close this Samsung phone like a book. When closed, this phone remains within the grasp of your hand and thus is very portable like other smaller phones. Save big when you get the Galaxy Fold phone at Reebelo! Explore Your Galaxy Of Samsung Options With Reebelo Samsung produces quality and user-friendly phones in various models and colours. Yet getting brand new Samsung phones might burst your budget. Instead, when you get a used or refurbished Samsung phone from a trusted marketplace like Reebelo, you can enjoy huge discounts and peace of mind because your phone was not a stolen one previously and that it has an accompanying warranty period.

How To Choose Your Used Or Refurbished Samsung Phone

When you accidentally drop your iPhone in the wash or on the road where it gets run over by passing vehicles, you have to replace it promptly. Bonus points for you if you can obtain a replacement iPhone that is of good quality and that remains affordable. This is because brand new iPhones are infamous for their sky-high prices and thus buying a new one could be highly intimidating for your bootstrapped budget. To raise your chances of obtaining an affordable iPhone, you could explore getting a used or refurbished one at a significant discount. Having said that, except for trusted family members or friends who might sell you their preloved iPhones at cheap prices, many sellers out there in the market might not be reliable or honest. How, then, can you navigate the crowded second-hand iPhone marketplace and get your desired iPhone while enjoying huge savings? Read on to find out exactly how and where you can do so. Ensure That You Are Buying From A Trustworthy Seller Think of this nightmare scenario: You spend hundreds of dollars trying to get your desired used or refurbished iPhone and realise after purchase that the phone you just got was stolen previously. When you try to contact the seller, he or she is uncontactable, having escaped scot-free after collecting your money. The next thing you know is that you might have to end up at the police station and possibly get into a lot of trouble (and red tape) because the phone that you have was stolen from another owner. While iPhones are not the only types of phones that are stolen, their premium brand quality means that they are easy targets for thieves and scammers to make profits. To avoid the aforementioned situation, the first and foremost thing you would have to do before making any impulsive purchase decisions would be to verify that the seller you are buying your iPhone from is trustworthy. Take note that verifying a seller’s credibility might be a problem if you are buying your phone from an unknown individual seller on Carousell or eBay. You would have to invest tons of time and effort into fact-checking and authenticating whether your sellers are legitimate or otherwise. To save you the time and hassle in checking the backgrounds of potential sellers, get your iPhone from a trusted second-hand electronics marketplace like Reebelo that also has its own account on Carousell. Unlike individual sellers on Carousell that might be of dubious backgrounds, Reebelo is an established second-hand electronics dealer that works with the Singapore Police Force to ensure that no phone transacted on its platform has been stolen, blocked or blacklisted. Moreover, Reebelo works with various credible partners to ensure that customers can obtain their desired electronic devices at huge discounts as well as that the quality of its products exceeds customer expectations. Till date, Reebelo has enjoyed many positive customer reviews. Customers have praised Reebelo for their premium quality refurbished products that also came with accessories. "I was looking for a refurbished iPhone 11 and found Reebelo. I chose my phone and wanted an express delivery. Got my phone after a day when in fact I was expecting it in 2 - 3 days. So far, so good. I love my new iPhone. Works pretty well. Good condition too! Thank you for the hassle-free transaction guys!” - Chay Enerio. Trustpilot Reebelo's Customer Review. Inspect The Battery Life With the iPhone battery of a new iPhone, one can get an average of 10 hours of speaking time. Yet even robust iPhone battery lives do not last forever because battery capacities drop when the phone’s recharge limit is attained and when the phone ages. Where possible, inspect the battery life of your desired used or refurbished iPhone before purchase, and continue to monitor the battery capacity after purchase (during the warranty period). Should you be purchasing a second-hand phone that is older than a year, take into account additional costs that you might incur when you need to install a new battery to the phone. Fortunately, when you get your refurbished iPhone at Reebelo, your iPhone would have been completely inspected, cleaned and repaired (40+ quality checks) before you buy it. At Reebelo, we put a premium service on providing customers with quality phones that have decent battery lives. Moreover, previous Reebelo customers such as Nicole have noted that Reebelo is reliable and its customer service team ensures that the buying process is as transparent as possible for customers with good follow-ups on customer enquiries. “Love the idea behind this business. Finally a trustworthy marketplace for second-hand electronic devices. If you're looking for a phone but you don't feel like spending too much, this is where to go.” -Nicole, Trustpilot Reebelo’s Customer Review Conduct Other Quality Control Checks While you should expect some surface wear and tear on the exterior of your desired used or refurbished phone, you would still have to inspect your desired phone to ensure that it is not severely damaged. Besides inspecting the battery capacity of the phone (which we covered in the previous point), check if the sound volume on the speakers of the iPhone is not too soft as well as ensure that the headphone jack is still working by inserting your headphones in to see if sound can be heard. Press the touch screen to see if the screen responds to your touch and that the home button is in working order. Ensure That the Phone Is Unlocked If you have your eyes set on a certain iPhone model, verify if your desired phone has been carrier locked or if it is an unlocked phone.

When you have an unlocked phone, you can also more easily trade your existing phone in as compared to users with carrier-locked phones that would require more hassle to unlock those phones. Warranty Getting a used or refurbished iPhone is still a gamble, regardless of where and when you obtain it. What is more, an iPhone (refurbished or even brand new) will generally cost more than an Android Phone with similar features. Therefore, to safeguard your investments into your used or refurbished iPhone, you should consider getting an iPhone with a decent warranty time frame. An iPhone with a reasonable warranty ensures that you can send your phone back to the manufacturer or seller for repair should your phone show more defects after purchase.

When you accidentally drop your iPhone in the wash or on the road where it gets run over by passing vehicles, you have to replace it promptly. Bonus points for you if you can obtain a replacement iPhone that is of good quality and that remains affordable. This is because brand new iPhones are infamous for their sky-high prices and thus buying a new one could be highly intimidating for your bootstrapped budget. To raise your chances of obtaining an affordable iPhone, you could explore getting a used or refurbished one at a significant discount. Having said that, except for trusted family members or friends who might sell you their preloved iPhones at cheap prices, many sellers out there in the market might not be reliable or honest. 
How, then, can you navigate the crowded second-hand iPhone marketplace and get your desired iPhone while enjoying huge savings? 
Read on to find out exactly how and where you can do so.
 
<h3>Ensure That You Are Buying From A Trustworthy Seller</h3>
Think of this nightmare scenario: You spend hundreds of dollars trying to get your desired used or refurbished iPhone and realise after purchase that the phone you just got was stolen previously. When you try to contact the seller, he or she is uncontactable, having escaped scot-free after collecting your money. The next thing you know is that you might have to end up at the police station and possibly get into a lot of trouble (and red tape) because the phone that you have was stolen from another owner. While iPhones are not the only types of phones that are stolen, their premium brand quality means that they are easy targets for thieves and scammers to make profits.  
To avoid the aforementioned situation, the first and foremost thing you would have to do before making any impulsive purchase decisions would be to verify that the seller you are buying your iPhone from is trustworthy. Take note that verifying a seller’s credibility might be a problem if you are buying your phone from an unknown individual seller on Carousell or eBay. You would have to invest tons of time and effort into fact-checking and authenticating whether your sellers are legitimate or otherwise.
To save you the time and hassle in checking the backgrounds of potential sellers, get your iPhone from a trusted second-hand electronics marketplace like <a href="https://www.reebelo.com/" target="_blank" title="Reebelo Homepage" rel="noopener noreferrer">Reebelo</a> that also has its own account on Carousell. Unlike individual sellers on Carousell that might be of dubious backgrounds, Reebelo is an established second-hand electronics dealer that works with the Singapore Police Force to ensure that no phone transacted on its platform has been stolen, blocked or blacklisted. Moreover, Reebelo works with various credible partners to ensure that customers can obtain their desired electronic devices at huge discounts as well as that the quality of its products exceeds customer expectations. Till date, Reebelo has enjoyed many positive customer reviews.
Customers have praised Reebelo for their premium quality refurbished products that also came with accessories.
"I was looking for a refurbished iPhone 11 and found Reebelo. I chose my phone and wanted an express delivery. Got my phone after a day when in fact I was expecting it in 2 - 3 days. So far, so good. I love my new iPhone. Works pretty well. Good condition too! Thank you for the hassle-free transaction guys!” - <a href="https://www.trustpilot.com/users/5e7dac305409e8e58f6d38c4" title="Reebelo's Customer Review from Trustpilot">Chay Enerio</a>.

<h3>Inspect The Battery Life </h3>
With the iPhone battery of a new iPhone, one can get an average of 10 hours of speaking time. Yet even robust iPhone battery lives do not last forever because battery capacities drop when the phone’s recharge limit is attained and when the phone ages. Where possible, inspect the battery life of your desired used or refurbished iPhone before purchase, and continue to monitor the battery capacity after purchase (during the warranty period). Should you be purchasing a second-hand phone that is older than a year, take into account additional costs that you might incur when you need to install a new battery to the phone. Fortunately, when you get your refurbished iPhone at Reebelo, your iPhone would have been completely inspected, cleaned and repaired (40+ quality checks) before you buy it. At Reebelo, we put a premium service on providing customers with quality phones that have decent battery lives. Moreover, previous Reebelo customers such as Nicole have noted that Reebelo is reliable and its customer service team ensures that the buying process is as transparent as possible for customers with good follow-ups on customer enquiries.

<h3>Conduct Other Quality Control Checks </h3>
While you should expect some surface wear and tear on the exterior of your desired used or refurbished phone, you would still have to inspect your desired phone to ensure that it is not severely damaged. Besides inspecting the battery capacity of the phone (which we covered in the previous point), check if the sound volume on the speakers of the iPhone is not too soft as well as ensure that the headphone jack is still working by inserting your headphones in to see if sound can be heard. Press the touch screen to see if the screen responds to your touch and that the home button is in working order.

<h3>Warranty </h3>
Getting a used or refurbished iPhone is still a gamble, regardless of where and when you obtain it.

Therefore, to safeguard your investments into your used or refurbished iPhone, you should consider getting an iPhone with a decent warranty time frame.

How to Choose Your Refurbished Or Used Apple iPhone

If you are on a shoestring budget and have to upgrade your phone or other electronic device, the best bet would be to avoid expensive brand new products altogether. Rather, you ought to check out refurbished electronics that could provide you immense value at heavily discounted prices, thus enabling you to save more of your hard-earned money. That being said, to fully enjoy the returns of your investment in refurbished electronics, you would need to know a couple of essential pointers besides price points to safeguard your interests as a customer. Read on to find out what are the factors you should take into account when getting refurbished electronics for yourselves and for your loved ones. Note The Differences Between Refurbished And Second Hand Many people have the idea that refurbished products are goods of inferior quality, hence the cheaper prices. While refurbished electronics were bought and returned to the manufacturers for various reasons including that of defective parts, refurbished products are those that have undergone some sort of maintenance, clean-up and/or repair. Refurbished devices could be almost brand new or used products that have gone through around 40+ quality checks and touch-ups from sellers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Once proven to be of excellent quality, refurbished devices would generally be put up for re-sale. Therefore, refurbished electronics can be as good in terms of quality as their brand new counterparts as they have been completely inspected and attended to prior to their re-sales. If you decide to purchase your next electronic product with a trusted refurbished electronics dealer like Reebelo, you can inquire about the exact conditions of your intended purchase before making your decision. Dealers like Reebelo usually have rating systems that can inform buyers like you if their desired refurbished electronics are in excellent, very good or good conditions. Just bear in mind during your buying journey that refurbished products are not brand new ones, so a bit of surface wear and tear is to be expected. On the other hand, used electronics are pre-loved and second hand products that have been put up for re-sales. Buyers who buy used electronics would get these products in their existing conditions, whether good or otherwise. Evidently, you as a buyer would be running a greater risk in terms of product quality if you were to buy a used product instead of a refurbished one. Always Look At Seller Reviews And Buy From Reliable Sellers More haste, less speed. Do not be in a rush to get your desired refurbished product that you have seen online. Instead, do your due diligence and research on the reliability of the company or seller that you are intending to buy from. Check customer ratings, history and reviews to ensure that you are not purchasing from a sham business. Do your homework and read customer reviews, ratings, and history to make sure that you are purchasing from a reputable organization. Know if the seller is specific about the refurbishing process to make sure the item has been thoroughly checked. Compare the refurbished product with a brand new one if possible to see if their features correspond to each other. Besides positive customer reviews on the seller’s website, search for other forms of testimonials and feedback from alternative sources like media statements. Check if your desired product has genuinely been refurbished by the manufacturer of the product. Otherwise, you can also source for excellent refurbished electronic products from other reliable sellers such as Reebelo that sell these refurbished items at huge discounts. Cheapest Is Not Necessarily The Best Although cheaper products might be more attractive due to the greater monetary savings to be enjoyed as a result, do not rush headlong into getting the cheapest refurbished item available. Remember that there are risks linked with refurbished or second hand items with substantial price cuts. A useful tip to note would be that the prices for refurbished electronics are determined by factors such as when the products were initially launched and put for sale originally, and not the duration that these products were in use by their previous owners. Always Snag A Reasonable And Good Product Warranty Getting your desired refurbished product with an accompanying warranty time frame that is not too short is crucial. This is because you have to safeguard your interests as a customer, not just before the purchase, but also after it. This is when a solid warranty time frame comes in handy to ensure that should your refurbished product exhibit signs of defects or crankiness, you can send it back to the seller or manufacturer for repairs. Ideal warranty time frames usually range from thirty to ninety days. At Reebelo, all our products come with at least 1-month warranty time frames to best protect your interests as our customer! Obtain A Decent Return Policy Another way to guard yourself against possible product scams is to ensure that your purchase comes with a decent return policy. The truth is that not every product flaw will surface when you inspect the refurbished product before you buy it. You might have to use your refurbished product for some time after purchase for defects start to rear their ugly heads on your product performance. An optimal time frame for your return policy would be at least fourteen to thirty days. Scrutinise The Fine Print Policy Additionally, further protect your interests as a customer when you get your refurbished item. Before your purchase, you can never scrutinise the fine print policy enough. Always evaluate what the fine print has to say regarding customer protection, return policies as well as the amount of refund you can get should the product turn out defective (due to inherent flaws) after purchase. Check if paying by credit cards can prolong your warranty time frame. Also, ask about the duration sellers would need to repair your product should you send it for repair during the warranty period. A reliable seller selling a decent product with a solid warranty is a good sign that you are getting your money’s worth when you buy the refurbished product. Do An Accessory Audit If you have made your mind up and decided on a particular purchase, do your necessary audit on the actual product specifications and the accompanying accessories of your purchased product. Does your purchase, for example, come with cables and chargers? If not, would you have to incur additional costs in getting the required cables and chargers? How will these additional purchases (if any) affect your total budget for this item? Such questions like these are useful to keep yourself accountable and to keep within your budget. Keep All Relevant Documents In One Place When you get a refurbished electronic product, you might need further help and repairs upon purchase. To avoid the undesirable situation when you need to return your product for repairs during the warranty time frame of the product but cannot do so because you lost your supporting documents, the best bet for you is to keep organised. Put all relevant documents, such as the fine print page and the warranty policy page into one particular place. By doing so, you will save yourself a lot of trouble and can even get partial refunds from your initial purchase, should the situation call for it.

5 Preloved Phones To Buy (July 2020 Edition)

While some people might state that no eco friendly phone is as good for the environment as not purchasing any phone at all, the reality remains that you need to have phones in your daily life. Also, even though the next most environmentally friendly phone is the one you currently own, the fact again is that it might be high time to change your phone as your phone might have a dying and faltering battery life (thus making it practically unusable). Necessities aside, you might deem having smartphones as ‘keeping up with the rest’ and might feel left out should you opt out of having these mobile devices. Yet there are pockets of people who might feel that having smartphones and getting new ones are not exactly the most environmentally sustainable options to adopt given that smartphone manufacturing gives rise to huge amounts of scarce resources and energy being used to mine and make such new gadgets. While many smartphone manufacturers have stepped forward to take the helm in spearheading eco friendly efforts to reduce the amount of technological waste produced by smartphones, be reminded that no matter what phone you might opt to purchase or have your sights on, be sure not to discard your existing phone in the dump as it would only pollute and poison the environment. If you are still unsure as to how eco friendly (or not) smartphones are, read on to explore their environmental impact and why you should recycle existing phones instead of discarding them in favour of brand new ones. Smartphones Generate Lots Of Technological Waste It is no secret by now that smartphones contribute to the escalation of technological waste that damage the environment. Smartphones like the popular iPhone series contain a copious amount of heavy elements like lead and mercury that are hazardous to the environment and to human health. Every year, Singapore produces around 60,000 tonnes of technological waste (and more) and this figure could escalate if Singapore phone users are indiscriminate in their phone purchases. If left unchecked, the increasing stockpile of discarded phones would accumulate in our limited landfills and their toxins would cause untold damage to the air and to the surrounding biodiversity. Even with existing recycling efforts, few Singapore phone users can adequately recycle all parts of their smartphones. Instead, many phone users only recycle tiny portions of their smartphones and instead still discard the remaining components. Smartphones Are Straining Already Limited Natural Resources If you think recycling some bits and pieces of your smartphones would suffice, think again in light of the fact that smartphone manufacturing is straining the amount of scarce natural resources available on our planet. 70 or more non-radioactive elements in the periodic table are found in smartphones alone! Based on certain studies, 16 rare Earth metals are found in smartphones too. For instance, dysprosium and terbium, that are found in smartphones to generate the various colours on phone displays and power phones to vibrate, are two of the rare Earth metals that are depleting due to increased smartphone manufacturing. Extracting rare Earth metals like terbium is a time and energy-consuming process. Furthermore, extracting such metals from the recesses of the Earth would disrupt the natural biodiversity of the areas surrounding them. Smartphones Utilise Server Energy Besides the manufacturing side of the story, one thing to note is that smartphones also utilise a great deal of server energy as users download multiple online files, use their emails and text their contacts. One can also upon closer scrutiny see the positive relationship between smartphone demand and the rise of energy-consuming data centres worldwide. This is because data centres cater to consumer behaviours of downloading, texting and emailing via their smartphones by powering these very actions themselves. Such services are round-the-clock and consume enormous amounts of energy that many of us consumers fail to see. Consequently, these communication networks and data centres could contribute to footprints amounting to around 764 megatons of CO2 equivalent by 2020. What You Can Do To Be As Eco Friendly As Possible In light of the alarming statistics shown above and with a better understanding of the environmental impact of smartphones, you as a smartphone user can do your part to be as eco friendly and environmentally sustainable as possible. Firstly, you can avoid purchasing brand new smartphones despite your cravings for the latest and up-to-date gadgets. Reflect on your actual technological needs versus your wants and decide if a brand new smartphone is really worth getting or not. If you have assessed your needs and decided that you do not need a brand new smartphone, you can do your tiny part in saving the environment by opting to upgrade to a recycled second hand or refurbished phone instead. Check out reliable second hand phone marketplaces like Reebelo where you can obtain quality refurbished or second hand phones at highly discounted prices and save the environment as a result of your purchase. Every transaction on Reebelo will result in a tree planted in Indonesia or Vietnam to commemorate Reebelo’s efforts in reducing the total amount of environmental waste on this planet. Moreover, you can consider enjoying double savings and go one step further in saving the environment when you do not discard your existing phone. Instead, trade your phone in to us at Reebelo for recycling purposes. Be sure to trade your current phone in at the same time when you purchase a refurbished or used phone with us at Reebelo to enjoy double savings.

How Eco Friendly (Or Not) Are Smartphones?

When it comes to saving money on electronic products like mobile phones and laptops, used or refurbished items come into the picture to help buyers save a great deal of money. Similarly, open-box products are useful alternatives to brand new gadgets in saving a huge amount of money simply because the box containing these items happened to be open. If you are getting an open-box mobile phone, tablet or any other electronic device, here are some things to take into consideration before making your purchase. What Is An 'Open-Box' Product? Simply put, an item that is an ‘open-box’ product has been opened before it was returned to the retail store or to the manufacturer. There are several possible reasons why an item is returned, and not because it has been damaged. Based on an Accenture study, only 5% of item returns are related to existing flaws. Enjoy Huge Discounts When Getting A Brand New But Opened Item Hence it is highly likely that an open-box product could simply be something a previous buyer bought and changed his or her mind about, even if it was in excellent condition. The previous buyer might have returned an item for a minor reason, such as disliking the colour of the product. Therefore, if you get an ‘open-box’ product, you could be in for an amazing deal as you would be getting a totally brand new product for a discount. Issues When Buying A Product Sample/Floor Model Certainly, it is not always the case that an ‘open-box’ product is a brand new product that was opened and not used previously. This is because many electronic stores permit customers to return products within a couple of days or weeks. It is not surprising that many of such ‘open-box’ products display a tad of surface ‘wear-and-tear’ due to their stints in their previous buyer’s hands. Just remember that purchasing an ‘open-box’ product would mean that your item might have been used, even for a very short period of time. Additionally, ‘open box’ products might include floor models or product samples in stores that provide potential buyers with ideas on how a product works. When stores decide to get rid of floor models simply because they are trying to sell another product, they are unable to send the floor models back to the manufacturer nor package and sell the products as new. Therefore, many stores give discounts in varying degrees to their floor models to attract potential buyers. Consequently, buyers might have initially tried and tested out these display phones or other devices before deciding they did not want them (for whatever reason) and returning them to the stores. While these display products did not physically leave the store in question, the fact remains that potential buyers might have tried and tested such products during their shopping experiences. Should you be getting such a product, be prepared for potential defects and even failures due to it being used many times over. Whatever the reason an item has been labeled "open-box," these products usually get an inspection to make sure they're working before they're sold. This could be a thorough check of the product's functionality, or the inspection could be as basic as plugging the item in to make sure it powers on. More testing can help check for quality flaws in such display products. A major downside to getting sample models of phones or other devices is that you as a buyer would not know what other potential buyers have done to them previously while being out for display for a considerable period of time. People might have dropped these items a couple of times, or handled them in the wrong manner. All these actions by potential buyers could affect the quality of these sample products. Therefore if you would still like to toy with the idea of getting floor model phones, ensure that the discount in price is large enough that it is worth the risk of some minor hassles in terms of product quality. Also, check if the floor model you are keen on contains a return policy and for how long. A floor model phone with a short warranty time frame might not benefit you as you might encounter quality defects some time, and not immediately, after purchase. Another good habit to have when getting floor model phones or other products is to ask the sellers in the store if they have conducted a complete cleanup on the device in question before selling it. For example, ask sellers if they have reset the hard drive in the computer or merely put a discounted price tag on it. Save yourself more money by double checking with the seller if it would cost you additional money to have the floor model device returned in the form of postage or restocking fees Note The Difference Between Open-Box And Refurbished Items At this stage, you might be a bit confused between a refurbished and ‘open box’ item. This is because there are some sellers that might use these two terms interchangeably without taking into account the notable differences between the two types of items. One can define refurbished products as used products that have been completely inspected, cleaned and repaired before being put on sale as ‘like-new’ products. ‘Open-box’ items on the other hand are either floor models of display items or items that have been returned to the store for any reason and put back on shelves and sold with a discounted price tag, without any particular effort to clean, inspect or repair them. Get Your Quality Phone At Reebelo Having explored what ‘open box’ phones are and their differences from refurbished phones, we have established that there are benefits to getting ‘open box’ phones, such as enjoying significant discounts.

Should You Consider An ‘Open Box’ Phone For Your Next Purchase?

All set on getting a Macbook for your school or university studies? In this article, we explore the types of Macbooks in order to determine whether you should get a Macbook Pro, a Macbook Air or some other Mac for your course of study. Selecting a Macbook type depends on what you are studying and how much your budget is. Moreover, in light of nationwide lockdowns in response to the coronavirus, families might be searching for notebooks to assist their homeschooling needs at home. In such uncertain economic times, getting a brand new Macbook might be beyond the budget of many individuals and families alike. Thus, buyers should consider second-hand or refurbished Macbooks from reliable second-hand marketplaces like Reebelo instead of brand new ones to achieve their study goals and to avoid bursting their wallets. Macbook Air If you are searching for a Macbook that is portable and contains a decent battery storage without busting your budget, buying the Macbook Air might be a suitable option. Moreover, if you would like to spend time studying in school without a power adaptor, the MacBook Air might be more appropriate as its battery life can last for around twelve to thirteen hours. Furthermore, if you were to carry your laptop around school, the Macbook Air is a good choice as it is relatively light compared to the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Air series has Macbooks with varying storage capacities, such as the one with 512GB storage and 256 GB storage. If you need more storage in future for various reasons, consider subscribing to more iCloud storage if there is limited storage on your laptop. Consider getting the 2018 and 2019 models second-hand or refurbished if you have a limited budget. You might also want to consider getting the pre-2017 model that works fairly well if you do not need your laptop for advanced computing purposes even though it has a processor dating back to 2014. If you get your refurbished or second-hand Macbook at reliable electronics marketplaces like Reebelo, you can enjoy significant discounts of up to 70%. For instance, the Apple Macbook Air (2015) with an 13-inch screen and with 256GB of storage at Reebelo costs only $919, a 43% discount from its original price of $1599. The benefit of getting a refurbished or used Macbook at a discounted price is that you can save costs when getting it and trade it in at a later stage when you decide to upgrade your laptop in the future. While the value of older Macbooks (as with electronic devices in general) would fall as the months and years go by, Apple products tend to retain their value more compared to other notebooks. MacBook Pro The Macbook Pro will provide you the requisite power and features than the Macbook Air to enhance your student experience. MacBook Pros come in different types with different storage capacities, depending on your individual learning needs. For example, you might have your eyes on the 13in MacBook Pro model to fulfill your student needs at 256GB SSD storage with dual-core processors for your school projects. Prices for brand new Macbook Pros, however, are ridiculously high and you might have to fork out thousands of dollars just to get your desired laptop. Many students might find brand new Macbook Pros out of their reach, but you can choose to withhold your purchase for a few more months for 2019 models and consider getting them at a later stage at a cheaper price. Also, you can consider refurbished or used ones that can do the job at a much lower price. If your studies require a higher speed laptop, check out the quad-core 2.2GHz 13in Apple Macbook Pro A1398. Otherwise, the entry-level Macbook model should suffice to get your school assignments done without any hiccups. What You Are Studying Might Determine What Macbook You Need If you are a design student figuring out interface design, illustration and 3D and even freelancing for some clients during your studies, your laptop needs might differ from a student majoring in Finance or International Relations. For example, if you are a design student, you might choose a laptop with a high-resolution display and that has a huge amount of storage. A student majoring in International Relations might not need a laptop with the same specifications. Just pay attention to Apple’s recent laptops that have been considered as sealed units with no room for added storage. Thus, upon purchase, you might need to reconfigure your laptop. Another tip you might find handy is to buy a Macbook for the present and the future, and not just for the present moment if you want to stretch your dollar and save costs in the long term. The good news is that should you purchase a Mac where you can install additional RAM (Random Access Memory) at a later point, (for example the 2018 Mac mini), you could purchase the RAM from a third party instead - but do bear in mind that you might not have a warranty time frame if you add the RAM yourself. Get a Discounted And Quality Macbook At Reebelo If you are in Singapore and are thinking of getting a refurbished or used Macbook for your studies instead of an expensive brand new model, Reebelo has your back. You need not fear when you purchase a Macbook from Reebelo as you will enjoy an accompanying free one month warranty. Moreover, as Reebelo works with the Singapore Police Force, rest assured that your Macbook will not be a stolen one. Reebelo works with several trusted experts and ensures that all it's refurbished devices have been completely cleaned, inspected and repaired so buyers get the most out of their purchases. Furthermore, if you are getting a Macbook at Reebelo, you would be indirectly reducing the amount of tech waste that is produced every day as you would be saving one more Macbook from ending up in landfills that harm the environment. What is even better is that if you have an old Macbook at hand, you can enjoy double savings by trading it in at the same time you make your purchase.

Thus, buyers should consider second-hand or refurbished Macbooks from reliable second-hand marketplaces like <a href="https://www.reebelo.com?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=sg_s2con_blog_lead_sales" title="Reebelo Singapore homepage" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Reebelo</a> instead of brand new ones to achieve their study goals and to avoid bursting their wallets. 
 
<h3>Macbook Air </h3>
If you are searching for a Macbook that is portable and contains a decent battery storage without busting your budget, buying the Macbook Air might be a suitable option. Moreover, if you would like to spend time studying in school without a power adaptor, the MacBook Air might be more appropriate as its battery life can last for around twelve to thirteen hours. 
Furthermore, if you were to carry your laptop around school, the Macbook Air is a good choice as it is relatively light compared to the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Air series has Macbooks with varying storage capacities, such as the one with 512GB storage and 256 GB storage. 
If you need more storage in future for various reasons, consider subscribing to more iCloud storage if there is limited storage on your laptop. Consider getting the 2018 and 2019 models second-hand or refurbished if you have a limited budget. You might also want to consider getting the pre-2017 model that works fairly well if you do not need your laptop for advanced computing purposes even though it has a processor dating back to 2014.
If you get your refurbished or second-hand Macbook at reliable electronics marketplaces like Reebelo, you can <a href="https://www.reebelo.com/collections/apple-macbooks" title="Buy refurbished Apple Macbook">enjoy significant discounts of up to </a>70%. For instance, the <a href="https://www.reebelo.com/collections/apple-macbooks?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=sg_s2con_blog_lead_sales" title="Buy Used MacBook Air 2015 Silver 256GB" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Apple Macbook Air (2015) with an 13-inch screen and with 256GB of storage at Reebelo costs only $919, a 43% discount from its original price of $1599. </a>
The benefit of getting a refurbished or used Macbook at a discounted price is that you can save costs when getting it and trade it in at a later stage when you decide to upgrade your laptop in the future. While the value of older Macbooks (as with electronic devices in general) would fall as the months and years go by, Apple products tend to retain their value more compared to other notebooks.
 
<h3>MacBook Pro</h3>
The Macbook Pro will provide you the requisite power and features than the Macbook Air to enhance your student experience. MacBook Pros come in different types with different storage capacities, depending on your individual learning needs. For example, you might have your eyes on the <a href="https://www.reebelo.com/collections/apple-macbooks/products/38891-used-and-refurbished-secondhand-apple-macbookproa1502-silver-256gbssd-singapore" title="Buy Refurbished Apple MacBook Pro" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">13in MacBook Pro</a> model to fulfill your student needs at 256GB SSD storage with dual-core processors for your school projects.
Prices for brand new Macbook Pros, however, are ridiculously high and you might have to fork out thousands of dollars just to get your desired laptop. Many students might find brand new Macbook Pros out of their reach, but you can choose to withhold your purchase for a few more months for 2019 models and consider getting them at a later stage at a cheaper price. Also, you can consider refurbished or used ones that can do the job at a much lower price.
If your studies require a higher speed laptop, check out the <a href="https://www.reebelo.com/collections/apple-macbooks/products/60758-used-and-refurbished-secondhand-apple-macbookproa1398-silver-512gbssd-singapore" target="_blank" title="Buy refurbished Apple Macbook Pro A1398" rel="noopener noreferrer">quad-core 2.2GHz 13in Apple Macbook Pro A1398</a>. Otherwise, the entry-level Macbook model should suffice to get your school assignments done without any hiccups. 
What You Are Studying Might Determine What Macbook You Need
If you are a design student figuring out interface design, illustration and 3D and even freelancing for some clients during your studies, your laptop needs might differ from a student majoring in Finance or International Relations. For example, if you are a design student, you might choose a laptop with a high-resolution display and that has a huge amount of storage. A student majoring in International Relations might not need a laptop with the same specifications. 
Just pay attention to Apple’s recent laptops that have been considered as sealed units with no room for added storage. Thus, upon purchase, you might need to reconfigure your laptop. Another tip you might find handy is to buy a Macbook for the present and the future, and not just for the present moment if you want to stretch your dollar and save costs in the long term. 
The good news is that should you purchase a Mac where you can install additional RAM (Random Access Memory) at a later point, (for example the 2018 Mac mini), you could purchase the RAM from a third party instead - but do bear in mind that you might not have a warranty time frame if you add the RAM yourself.

How To Select The Best Apple Mac Computer For School

You might be thinking of upgrading your existing phone to a different model. Yet you might be on a budget and thus trying to decrease your cost margins and to avoid bursting your wallet. The great news is that your existing phone can still fetch some value. You can sell your existing phone and use the money earned to offset the expense of your new purchase to individual sellers on peer-to-peer marketplaces like eBay, or to trade-in marketplaces like Reebelo. You can enjoy even more cost savings by trading your existing phone in. Yet you might not be sure when is the optimal time to do so, simply because in the universe of trading used phones, timing can mean a huge difference in fetching the best monetary value of such phones. Read on to find out when you should trade your phone in. Within The First 6 Months Most likely, you will get the best value if you trade your phone in within the first six months upon your purchase (assuming you bought a brand new phone at the start). This is because research has shown that many phones depreciate around 28% to almost 80% of their original values within a year, depending on their models. For instance, the iPhone X dropped in value by 45% while the Galaxy S8 depreciated by 57% of its original value within the span of one year. Even more, the original value of an LG G6 fell by a significant 73% after one year of its original market debut! That being said, iPhones in general can retain their values longer than the Samsung Galaxy phone series. In comparison, market prices for traded-in phones reveal that other non-Galaxy Android phones fell at faster rates as compared to their Samsung Galaxy counterparts. What this means for you is that if you have an existing phone at hand that you wish to get rid of, you had better trade it in as soon as possible lest its value drops even further. Before The Next Model Is Launched Some phone users might choose to trade their existing phones in before the next model of their phones debuts on the market. For example, an iPhone user who finds out (through rumours or through official announcements) about the upcoming launch of the latest iPhone might try to sell his or her phone (or trade it in) on platforms like Carousell or eBay right before the release of the new iPhone. He or she might want to use a spare phone (if possible) for the next couple of weeks or months until the official launch of the new iPhone model. If this said iPhone user does not manage to sell his or her phone before the launch of the new iPhone, chances are that his or her phone might drop further in value, especially after the new iPhone has been released. That being said, there is no specific formula by which phone users can rely on to calculate the value of their phones. However, past studies have revealed that older phone models can suffer a 15-40% depreciation in their values during the immediate period surrounding a new model launch. A useful strategy that some phone sellers have used is that of leveraging on price locks that enable sellers to lock a price in at the start while waiting up to a month or so before actually selling and parting with their phones. In this way, phone sellers would be able to retain their existing phones while they wait for their desired phone models to arrive, as price locks do not have obligations for sellers to sell their phones. When You Need To Safeguard Your Investment Phone users might try to sell their existing phones when they feel they want to maximise returns on their phone investments and to minimise their costs. Take for example, a phone user who accidentally broke his or her phone screen due to a fall, carelessness or other reasons. A phone with a broken screen is worth much less than the same phone with an intact screen. Therefore, this phone user might wish to trade his or her existing phone in as soon as possible. Should the phone be only six months old, it can be still worth 16% of its original value with a cracked or damaged screen. Should this phone user delay for another year or so, his or her phone with a broken screen can only fetch less than 10% of its original value. While some people might simply vote in favour of a phone case to protect their phones from cracked screens or other damages, phone cases are not all foolproof and some of them might cost as much as $50 (or more) and are not appealing to the budget-savvy phone user. Your Phone Model Matters To fetch the maximum trade-in value for one’s phone, timing and phone models are very important in determining the final trade-in price. Even Apple iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phone models are not immune to value deprecations over time and experience a great reduction in value after two to three years. For example, the iPhone 7 lost 60% of its original value two years after its release. The Samsung Galaxy S8 dropped 70% in two years. Yet comparatively speaking, these two phone brands still fare comparatively better than other phone models such as Nokia and Motorola. Consequently, some people have adopted the strategy of buying brand models like Samsung Galaxy and the iPhone and trading them every two years or when they would fetch the best value for their transaction. Trade Your Phone In At Reebelo To Enjoy Maximum Savings Enjoy double savings when you trade your current phone in exchange for a used phone from Reebelo to maximise the monetary value of your transaction. Reebelo grants you immediate payment (for trading your phone in) or payment within the same day.

When Is The Optimal Time For Trading Your Phone In?

What Is A ‘Refurbished Phone’? A refurbished phone is a phone that has undergone any form of cleaning, repair, maintenance and inspection. Some refurbished phones have been used by previous owners but have gone through some sort of repair and cleaning. Other refurbished phones are devices that were returned to carriers/manufacturers/retailers not too long after their original sales and given some cleaning up as well as a new warranty time frame. The general characteristic of any refurbished phone is that it has gone through several quality checks (70+) from sellers and manufacturers and has been certified to be of top quality before being put on sale again. Examples of tests carried out by manufacturers and sellers on such phones include but are not limited to tests on audio quality, battery charges, cameras and buttons. Why You Should Get A ‘Refurbished Phone’ Getting a refurbished phone would mean that you would be having a phone that has been completely cleaned, repaired and inspected by phone specialists who usually come from the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of that particular phone. Therefore you would be getting access to the same good quality of technical support just as if you were to buy an expensive new phone. You can enjoy quality savings when you pay much less for a refurbished phone than for a brand new one. A refurbished phone that has been completely checked for quality and that has a good warranty period would be more value for money than a brand new phone with liabilities that might have gone unchecked. The following sections talk about what you should expect when getting a refurbished phone. A Trustworthy Seller Would Protect Your Customer Interests First and foremost, get your refurbished phone from a credible and reputable seller. There are tons of refurbished phones out there in the market, from many individual and corporate sellers alike. When you decide on a particular refurbished phone, ensure that the seller you buy it from is reliable and credible with a past track record. You would not want to buy a phone from an unknown or dodgy seller only to find that it has been stolen from a previous owner or that it contains many quality defects that you do not know about precisely because the seller was dishonest from the start. Moreover, you would not want to find other people’s data still on your phone because it would be a sure indication that your phone has not been inspected on and reinstated to factory settings. Fortunately, there are credible and established refurbished phone sellers in the market with raving customer reviews such as Reebelo. Reebelo works with the Singapore Police Force to ensure that all phones transacted are not stolen. Moreover, Reebelo thoroughly inspects and checks for major phone defects that could undermine the workability and usability of any phone. Minor Surface Defects/Scratches Refurbished phones have different grades or levels. If you are buying a top grade phone, it could be almost impossible to tell the difference between your phone and a brand new one. If you choose to buy a lower grade refurbished phone, you might find a bit more dents, scratches as well as wear and tear on your phone. The problem you might encounter when you buy a refurbished phone from an unknown or unverified seller is that you could overpay for a refurbished phone of a lower grade . Having a reliable seller such as Reebelo to walk you through the various grades of refurbished phones is crucial to ensure you do not overpay for any phone you purchase. At Reebelo, you would only be getting your phone at the most competitive price in the market. If you have been offered a lower price elsewhere besides the one we are offering for your desired phone, simply inform us and we will match. Return Policy And Warranty Time Frame Carefully read and understand the return policy and warranty time frame of the refurbished phone you are keen on. This is because the warranty time period (if any at all) and return policy of any refurbished phone would be clear signs of the actual quality of that phone. Protect yourself as a buyer by reading the fine print that states the return policy and underlying conditions for return of your refurbished phone in question. Further safeguard yourself from wasting your money on poor quality ‘refurbished’ phones that contain malfunctioning batteries and spoilt USB ports by scrutinising the warranty policy (if any) of your phone. If you are buying your phone from individual sellers on peer-to-peer marketplaces such as Craigslist, eBay and Carousell, chances are you might not be getting a phone with a warranty. Thus, you might be exposed to the risks of flaws and defects that you have to rectify with additional costs. However, if you buy your refurbished phone from trusted marketplaces like Reebelo, you will enjoy a 3-month warranty coverage. Ensure Product Descriptions Match Accessories Check that when you choose a refurbished phone with accessories such as headphones, charges and more, these accessories should be present as mentioned in the accompanying product descriptions. With an established and reliable seller like Reebelo, the chances of you getting exactly what you ordered in good quality are much higher than if you were to buy your phone from individual sellers. Get Your Refurbished Phone And Enjoy Huge Savings With Reebelo Reebelo’s certified refurbishing partners transform used devices such as phones into top quality devices for resale. Reebelo ensures that all refurbished phones have good warranty time frames and have competitive prices. Get your refurbished phone from Reebelo’s collection of phones here!

Things To Expect When Getting A Refurbished Phone

Mobile phones can be crucial for seniors to communicate with their loved ones as well as to keep their minds active and occupied by learning useful things online. Yet there are many seniors who are still wrestling with the nuts and bolts of mobile technological devices because of a lack of technological knowledge. Moreover, with smartphone screens measuring an average of 13 centimetres in diameter, older people with vision problems might find reading messages from such mobile screens difficult. What is worse is that seniors with unsteady hands due to health conditions like arthritis might find it tough to navigate the touch screens of smartphones. The following sections speak of the features of elderly-friendly phones and suggest some phone models that you might consider when you get a mobile phone for a senior. Phones That Help Visually Impaired Users One of the first things that come to mind when selecting a mobile phone for seniors is the size of the phone screen in question. Seniors suffering from deteriorating vision and long-sightedness will find phones with large screens (and consequently large fonts) a great help. A big, clear and bright display on a phone screen would help an older person communicate with his or her loved ones and to access necessary information to keep himself or herself occupied. When seniors have myopia, it can mean a lot when they are reading information from phones with magnifiers that use the video camera in the phone to display an amplified image of a physical object on the phone screen. Also it would help these older people greatly when their phones have large screens and readable fonts as opposed to smaller screens with tiny fonts. Seniors can further aid their vision and reading with phones that include a heightened contrast of colors and fonts that help readers distinguish one piece of information from another. Phones With Voice Command Options In order to facilitate seniors’ communication with loved ones and friends in our digital era, senior-friendly phones should contain voice command options that enable seniors to better handle simple and complicated functions on their phones via voice interactions. With Google Android phones that are compatible with Google Voice and iPhones that are compatible with Siri to enhance user experience, seniors can benefit with seamless voice interactions with their devices while leveraging upon text-to-speech technologies (tools that make the phone read text aloud), in the “Accessibility Settings” of their smartphones. GPS Settings For Caregiver Support Apps Another important feature of senior-friendly mobile phones would be the GPS settings that permit caregiver support applications to function in such phones. These caregiver applications enable seniors to get the necessary help they require during emergency situations by permitting their phones to be located by GPS in order that seniors can be found should they become lost. Also, caregiver applications can help caregivers to adjust seniors’ phone settings to remind seniors of their daily duties and medical appointments. Phones With Emergency Or ‘SOS’ Buttons Ideally, senior-friendly phones should contain emergency or ‘SO’ buttons virtually or physically. Seniors with such phones can connect with various emergency contacts and call for emergency help simultaneously by pushing dedicated emergency buttons. Seniors who feel threatened when outside could use more advanced emergency buttons (when available in their phones) as warning or alert buttons by pressing such buttons, setting off a blaring alarm and utilising the camera flash from the phone to call for help from people in the surroundings. Phones With Hearing Aid Compatibility Also not to be missed out are phones that provide good hearing aid compatibilities for seniors who might be suffering from impaired hearing. Ideal mobile phones that offer excellent hearing qualities would ensure that users do not encounter sound issues during conversations. Nowadays, smartphones provide settings to help seniors who have hearing challenges to capitalise on available technology for easier communications. For instance, speaking keypads that would call aloud every number after users dial numbers in question and other audio enhancement settings could go a long way in improving seniors’ phone experiences. Seniors with smartphones can also use the application stores in their phones to download more assistance applications as and when needed.

Mobile phones can be crucial for seniors to communicate with their loved ones as well as  to keep their minds active and occupied by learning useful things online. Yet there are many seniors who are still wrestling with the nuts and bolts of mobile technological devices because of a lack of technological knowledge. Moreover, with smartphone screens measuring an average of 13 centimetres in diameter, older people with vision problems might find reading messages from such mobile screens difficult. What is worse is that seniors with unsteady hands due to health conditions like arthritis might find it tough to navigate the touch screens of smartphones.
The following sections speak of the features of elderly-friendly phones and suggest some phone models that you might consider when you get a mobile phone for a senior.

Phones That Help Visually Impaired Users
One of the first things that come to mind when selecting a mobile phone for seniors is the size of the phone screen in question. Seniors suffering from deteriorating vision and long-sightedness will find phones with large screens (and consequently large fonts) a great help. A big, clear and bright display on a phone screen would help an older person communicate with his or her loved ones and to access necessary information to keep himself or herself occupied. 
 
When seniors have myopia, it can mean a lot when they are reading information from phones with magnifiers that use the video camera in the phone to display an amplified image of a physical object on the phone screen. Also it would help these older people greatly when their phones have large screens and readable fonts as opposed to smaller screens with tiny fonts. Seniors can further aid their vision and reading with phones that include a heightened contrast of colors and fonts that help readers distinguish one piece of information from another.

Phones With Voice Command Options
In order to facilitate seniors’ communication with loved ones and friends in our digital era, senior-friendly phones should contain voice command options that enable seniors to better handle simple and complicated functions on their phones via voice interactions. 
With Google Android phones that are compatible with Google Voice and iPhones that are compatible with Siri to enhance user experience, seniors can benefit with seamless voice interactions with their devices while leveraging upon text-to-speech technologies (tools that make the phone read text aloud), in the “Accessibility Settings” of their smartphones.

GPS Settings For Caregiver Support Apps
Another important feature of senior-friendly mobile phones would be the GPS settings that permit caregiver support applications to function in such phones. These caregiver applications enable seniors to get the necessary help they require during emergency situations by permitting their phones to be located by GPS in order that  seniors can be found should they become lost. Also, caregiver applications can help caregivers to adjust seniors’ phone settings to remind seniors of their daily duties and medical appointments.

Phones With Emergency Or ‘SOS’ Buttons
Ideally, senior-friendly phones should contain emergency or ‘SO’ buttons virtually or physically. Seniors with such phones can connect with various emergency contacts and call for emergency help simultaneously by pushing dedicated emergency buttons. Seniors who feel threatened when outside could use more advanced emergency buttons (when available in their phones) as warning or alert buttons by pressing such buttons, setting off a blaring alarm and utilising the camera flash from the phone to call for help from people in the surroundings.
