Open box
Best when you want a nearly new phone with a solid discount.
Refurbished
Repaired and tested by the manufacturer or a refurbisher — may have replaced parts.
Used
Cheapest, but condition and battery wear vary a lot; check carefully.

All of these phones are available open box and unlocked in the AIOFFER Outlet at a big discount on the official price, with free shipping — paid with Bitcoin or USDT.
