Quick answer: A 5G label alone is not enough. Check the exact phone's bands and carrier compatibility, then compare battery, storage, condition and current software support.

| Your priority | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Tight budget | Prioritise reliable everyday apps and battery over a flagship name. |
| Camera and multitasking | Compare actual processor, RAM, storage and camera features. |
| Longer ownership | Check remaining model-specific updates and repair/coverage terms. |
Checks before you order
- Verify the exact regional variant against your Indian carrier's requirements.
- Check current app compatibility, account locks and disclosed repairs.
- Compare actual available units; advertised 5G capability does not guarantee coverage or speed.
Read the certification process alongside the listing. A cosmetic grade is not a battery-runtime guarantee; any disclosed functional limitations must be considered separately.
Check coverage and returns
Check the listing and service-warranty policy. Eligible iPhones have one year; other eligible devices have six months unless stated otherwise. Replacement parts may cost extra, and normal battery wear is excluded. The 7-day returns policy covers qualifying issues and has conditions, including unboxing-video requirements. Confirm accessories before ordering.
