Guide de classification de Phones Canada
Your guide to understanding the condition and functionality of our devices.
At Phones Canada, we ensure that every device is tested and graded for both cosmetic appearance and technical functionality. Our grading system makes it easy for you to choose the right device for your needs, whether you’re looking for something that feels brand new or a budget-friendly option with a few signs of wear.
From like-new to budget-friendly options, here’s how we grade our devices.
