Despite the advancement of face unlocking, fast charging and high megapixel cameras, Smartphone innovation has slowed a little. This has allowed the refurbished market to catch up with the firsthand market. And this is also the reason that at stores like Secondhandkart, we see many refurbished Smartphones which are newly-launched. Whatever trends new Smartphones come up with, the refurbished market will follow them sooner than ever.

In this article, we’re going to look at some of the latest trends in the market of refurbished Smartphones:

A. High Megapixel Camera: Amazing camera features have been the unique selling proposition of new brands such as Oppo and Vivo. While Apple is known to have the best Smartphone cameras, Samsung has also worked a lot in this field. In terms of megapixels, the numbers have crossed the mark of 40 megapixels. While the advancement in camera features will continue in the upcoming years, Smartphones with high Megapixel cameras are surely going to appear in the refurbished segment.

B. Extra Large Displays: Displays have extended to the edge of the latest Smartphones. Manufacturers are also looking forward to reducing the notch at the top to include some exciting features. This, however, is expected to increase the price as well. So, we can see that refurbished Smartphones with notches will prove to be the first choice of money-conscious people.

C. Advanced Face Unlocking: Fingerprint and face unlocking has become the new craze among young consumers. With Apple on the lead, other manufacturers are also working hard to improve the unlocking system. This is also going to be employed to secure safe payments. While this trend will become commonplace in new Smartphones, refurbs will also boast advanced security systems.
Another thing we can hope to enjoy is the perks of new Snapdragon 855 chipset.

D. Fast Charging: A few years ago, traditional Smartphones weren’t inclined towards fast-charging. It was the competition with new brands that caused a revolution in the speed of charging. The Snapdragon 855 is also going to introduce “Triple Charging System”, and soon refurbished market will also embrace this technology.

E. 5G Technology: 2019 will be the year of 5G technology. However, the costs will remain high initially, and this will cause 4G LTE Smartphones to fill the refurbished section. Unless the prices are too high, it’s the time when we will say goodbye to 3G technology.

In the coming times, refurbished Smartphones will follow new Smartphones like a shadow. The increasing competition in the refurbished market will force companies to provide more features at low costs. Also, platforms like Secondhandkart are doing everything they can to ensure quality and assurance. These reasons make 2019 is the best time to invest in refurbished Smartphones.
