Refurbishment at Seibifon

SEIBIFON’s Phone Refurbishment Process (Our Savvy Way)

All SEIBIFON’s certified remanufactured / refurbished products undergo a stringent remanufacturing process called “Seibi suru” (整備する) – giving used smartphones a new lease of life.

TEST & GRADING

Only high quality used smartphones will be used for refurbishment. All smartphones will undergo an
extensive system check (of at least 19 critical points) and testing by SEIBIFON’s qualified personnel using our own proprietary analytical software and instruments. Whilst the phones are being tested, a visual inspection is done on each smartphones and graded accordingly. Memories will permanently be digitally scrubbed1 and systems reset to factory default.

REFURBISHMENT PROCESS

All the external parts of the smartphones such as the LCD (front fascia) and battery covers are removed and all the internal parts of the phone such as the motherboard, speaker, mic, etc. are disassembled and put aside. As part of the remanufacturing process, SEIBIFON will reassemble the parts (using only good and genuine parts) into a new life. SEIBIFON’s refurbished smartphones will now look and feel like new smartphones.
