Make Sure that All the Physical Buttons Work Perfectly Physical buttons always become the fragile element on any smartphone that tends to be damaged easily if they have been pressed so many times by the owners. That’s why, when checking out any used smartphone on the store, always make sure that all the physical buttons, remember, all of them, can work perfectly, without any hiccup. The best thing to do that is by pressing each physical button over and over again. If you see that there is any button that gives a weak or delay response (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t) or even doesn’t work at all when you press it, then the best 4. Always Check the Screen Sensitivity with the User Interface The next thing to check from a used smartphone is the screen surface and the sensitivity of its User Interface.
In this process, always run a thorough scan if there is any scratch around the screen and make sure that the touch screen still works perfectly.

Do some mixed and random gestures on the screen over and over again, from: sliding the UI to the left/right/up/bottom, doing multi-touch, zooming in/out on the photos or web browser, deleting widgets/apps/elements typing on the virtual on-screen QWERTY keyboard etc And if you have a plenty of time, try to play some apps that are already installed on the phone, even high performance games and test the sensitivity of the screen interface.

Usually, used smartphones have been dropped for several times by the previous owners. Therefore, it’s really important for you to see the whole area on the screen to check if there is any glitch or weird line on color reproduction around the screen. If you see any of these, then the screen is not fine.

Most of touch screen phones, even the iPhone, have weak battery life (with the exception of Samsung or Motorola flagships of course). Therefore, it’s really crucial to always run a test on this sector every time you want to buy used smartphones.

To name of few, you can do things like playing high performance 3D games or watching movies/videos to make sure that the battery is still in pretty good condition, if not great. If the battery drains pretty quickly even when you just open the photos or listen some songs (which are not really energy consuming activities), then there is something wrong with the battery. 7. Check if the Camera’s Shutter Key (if There is Any) Still Works Some of smartphones usually have the physical shutter key for shooting photos/videos, even though it can be replaced with the on-screen virtual button.
