What happens to your old phone after it is sold online or exchanged?

 

HIGHLIGHTS: On Flipkart, Amazon and Cashify, you get instant money according to the model and condition of your phone. 

In today's time, technology is being upgraded very quickly, especially the technology used in smartphones. You buy a new phone today and after some time another phone with better selfie camera, better charging speed and better processor will drip. After taking a new phone, you either give the old phone to a member of the house or then sell it on a website like OLX. But apart from this, there are two more ways to locate the old phone. On Flipkart and Amazon, you can save some money on the purchase of a new phone by returning the old phone, or you can take money in your bank account by selling them on a website like Cashify.

On Flipkart, Amazon and Cashify, you get instant money according to the model and condition of your phone. But what do all these platforms do with these old phones? We are going to tell you this today. If you say in short, according to the condition of the phone, its fate is decided. The whole thing is ahead in detail.

Repair and sold

You might have seen some smartphones sold on Amazon at a very cheap price, just with their name written in it refurbished. This word means the old phone is being repaired and sold by flashing. Through the exchange, the phones that come to them in good condition are removed and their deficiencies are put to sell. Cashify also sells refurbished phones and Flipkart also has a separate website named 2gud to sell such devices where the way to reach is also lying on their portal.

Are purchased for staff by companies

In an earlier interview, Founder and CEO of Cashify, Mandeep Manocha, said that he has many startups who want to buy refurbished smartphones for their work force like delivery agent Vagaira. It is difficult to operate without a phone and thus these companies save a lot of money by buying a repaired phone. We could not get information about whether Flipkart and Amazon had requests from such startups.

Phones get back to company

There is an agreement between the platform that sells the phone and the companies that make the phone regarding the exchange offer. Phones whose condition is such that they cannot be sold and sold right are returned to the company that made the phone. Here these companies take out the work parts from them and put them in another phone. In this way, phone makers save some money on their new phones.

Become recycled

After the required part is removed from the phone, the remaining pieces are handed over to the recycling company. Here the plastic, metal and glass of the phone are all separated and melted. Later on, other parts are made from it a new.

What is happening on the phone's online exchange is not much different from the local market of the old phone. You sell an old phone in the market. The shopkeeper repairs it and sells it back. In the event of not being repaired, it removes its parts and uses it in the repair of another phone. When there is no scare left in the phone, then it is melted by giving it to the recycler.
