Are older phones still popular?
Older phones are the preferred option for some people. Whether it be that an older model is all they can afford at the time, or they may not want to deal with the additional features granted by more recent models of phones. Other individuals even prefer not to own a smartphone altogether, and have opted for “burner phones”. These phones have no touchscreen, and interaction is facilitated through a keypad.
What stops a phone screen from working?
There are many possibilities that contribute to a phone screen not working, here are the most common issues.- Water damage – Although modern phones have some resistance to water, they still can not tolerate it completely, depending on where the water enters your phone, you can experience a faulty screen, to a dead screen and more.
- Accidental damage – Dropping your phone, or if it sustains a significant impact can result in the screen becoming cracked, compromising the touch-screen capabilities, and also result in dead pixels.

What is a refurbished phone?
Refurbished phones are often the most economical way of getting a high-quality phone for a relatively low price and still having excellent functionality. But it’s important to distinguish between old, used, second-hand and refurbished phones before you make a purchase. So what’s the difference? Most second-hand phones have been repaired aesthetically but not necessarily functionally, so even though there may not be scratches on the back or cracks on the screen, you don’t know that the phone is working well.
On the contrary, refurbished phones have been repaired by professionals so that the inner workings of the phone have been repaired as well as the outside. That makes refurbished phones slightly more expensive than used or second-hand phones, but it’s worth it to know that the phone is working well and won’t need any urgent repairs, or professional phone unlocking
