And the fact is that many of these refurbished mobile phones are terminals returned by a buyer and that the brand leaves as new to sell them again; but there can always be small errors.<\/p>\n<h2>Check IMEI code<\/h2>\n<p>All mobile terminals are put on sale with a <strong>associated and unique IMEI code<\/strong> which reveals technical information of the terminal. If we have questions about our recently purchased terminal, we can always type the code <strong>*#06#<\/strong> and the phone will return its IMEI number to us. If we enter said code on the web <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numberingplans.com\/?page=analysis&amp;sub=imeinr\">Analysis of IMEI numbers<\/a> or on the page <a href=\"https:\/\/checkcoverage.apple.com\/es\/es\/\">Apple official website<\/a> In the case of iOS, we can check if the code is authentic and corresponds to our new smartphone, such as the model name, the country of manufacture or the assembly date, among other information. A false IMEI will return incorrect data. Likewise, in many cases we can also find said code in the <strong>terminal box or in the terminal itself<\/strong>, on a label inside the battery.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"How to know if a smartphone is refurbished or new\" src=\"\/media\/upload\/2018\/11\/14\/smartphone-reacondicionado-02.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"How to know if a smartphone is refurbished or new\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Model code in iOS<\/h2>\n<p>\nApple brand terminals offer another type of information that will allow us to identify whether a specific smartphone is new or second-hand. To do this, go to <strong>Settings \u2013 General \u2013 Information<\/strong>. Through this menu we can check various data from our iOS terminal, among which is a code <strong>Model<\/strong>. This code is preceded by a letter that can be <strong>M<\/strong>, <strong>F<\/strong>, <strong>Q<\/strong> either <strong>N<\/strong>. Below we show you the meaning of each of them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>M: identifies a new terminal.<\/li>\n<li>F: identifies a terminal refurbished by Apple.<\/li>\n<li>P: identifies a custom terminal.<\/li>\n<li>N: identifies a replacement terminal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"How to know if a smartphone is refurbished or new\" src=\"\/media\/upload\/2018\/11\/14\/smartphone-reacondicionado-03.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"How to know if a smartphone is refurbished or new\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Does it include all its accessories?<\/h2>\n<p>If we buy a new terminal with its sealed box, it must always carry <strong>all its accessories inside,<\/strong> if specified by its manufacturer, accessories such as the charger, a USB cable, an instruction manual, etc. On the contrary, if we buy a supposedly new mobile terminal and we see that some of its accessories are missing, a bad sign. The same goes for your box, which should present a <strong>perfect condition and without apparent manipulations<\/strong> of its articulable parts; If in this sense we see signs of manipulation, we can begin to suspect.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"How to know if a smartphone is refurbished or new\" src=\"\/media\/upload\/2018\/11\/14\/smartphone-reacondicionado-04.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" title=\"How to know if a smartphone is refurbished or new\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Go to sellers with guarantees<\/h2>\n<p>All of these situations tend to occur more in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.es\/Samsung-Galaxy-Smartphone-Versi\u00f3n-espa\u00f1ola\/dp\/B06XXFHG6J\/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1539369498&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=samsung+galaxy+s8&amp;tag=cmvr0d-21\">online mobile shopping<\/a> than in purchases in physical stores, although everything is possible.
