Currently there are lot of used phones ready for sale in the market. The reason of increasing number of used phones for sale people are upgrading their mobile phone by buying a new mobile phone and the used phone rather than giving or throwing it away it is sold at a low-cost price. These second-hand phones are hardly used for 3-4 months. We cannot say it is a completely new phone if we compare the outer shine with new one but the performance and hardware can be said it is completely new because it is used for only 3-4 months!
