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.

Read the open-box buyer's checklist.

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.
