I'm surprised nobody talks about this but I tried buying a used Infinix note 30 vip on FB market place but most of them are fake, but in the about it will still show Dimensity 8050 and other things correctly, how I found out is because they have no JBL branding and it's side mounted fingerprint with a large bezels, please Will it still work like the original?

I would never buy second hand it's not worth the risk,buy new at least then you are covered by warranty and guarantee plus ALWAYS keep till receipt.

@bignoob2726 3 күн бұрын

But second hand stores test the phone when buying it and test it with u when selling it to you. They also have a warranty. Makes more sense than buying an overpriced bad phone

I think anybody would be foolish to argue with that, lol. New is always better, but new is also more more expensive... people looking to buy used phones do so to save cost and get a good phone for the price, not because they believe used phones are better than new ones😅

@dathanejele6312 you would be surprised the amount of people that ague used flagships are better than new high end midrangers and entry level flagships

@bignoob2726 3 күн бұрын

@CRAB.. they are, it takes years for mid range phones to catch up and the old flagship equivalent will always cost less than the almost comparable latest mid range. Current A ranges best offerings is around or worse than s20 performance with worse screens and none of the flagship features. Whilst costing way more than a second hand s20.

@@NoReplyForIdiotswhat's even worse is those performance mid range have corners cut in places like cameras, ip ratings, build quality... Things u probably don't actually want to sacrifice
