The Smartphone is something few of us can live without these days and with each new model released, they grow in power and capabilities. Online shopping, emails, texting, gaming, newsfeed updates, social media, online banking and with inbuilt cameras for amazing photos and video - it seems the least likely thing we do with our smartphones now is make a phone call.
Since the original iPhone revolutionised the way we use our phones back in 2007, other manufacturers have joined the market making a wide selection of smartphones available to us with an array of choices both in price and functionality. It can make selecting your new smartphone a bit daunting, but we’re here to help.
New or Preowned Smartphone?
If you buy NEW, you can choose from the simplest, least powerful smartphone for as little as €150 (only a few go for this) or opt for the latest Apple iPhone that can cost as much as €1,400. There are a number of other options in between, but most new smartphones are at the upper end of the price scale. You can purchase them at somewhat reduced prices from various networks, but these then tie you in to lengthy and expensive contracts. You’re still paying top dollar, just spreading the costs a little.
A good option, well worth considering, is to buy PRE-OWNED. The preowned smartphone proposition from TechStar provides an array of models to choose from, at seriously more affordable prices. As experts in the repair of smartphones and technical computer devices, TechStar technicians have little trouble returning used smartphones to ‘good as new’ conditions. Reusing perfectly good working devices is better for the environment too.
Phone Network Freedom
All our smartphones, both new and preowned, are unlocked so you can use them with any network. The big benefit of this is it gives you more control. Released from lengthy and often expensive contracts, you now have the freedom to change networks based on the best deals available.
12-Month Warranty on All Phones
All our phones, new or preowned, are covered with 12 months warranty (accidental damage is not covered so remember to always protect your device with a case and Tempered Glass).
Android Users
If you’re an Android user you can choose from the powerful and reasonably priced new Xiaomi smartphone, or the beautiful and versatile preowned Samsung S series phones.
Apple Users
If you’re an Apple user, we have a preowned selection of all the popular models, starting from iPhone 6s up to iPhone 11 and everything in between, with a selection of different quality grades in each category to match your budget.
Protect Against Accidental Phone Damage
Remember that every smartphone should be protected by a case and Tempered Glass. Just purchase these accessories with the phone and we will apply the Tempered Glass before shipping your phone.
