What we do

Buy, sell, source. One roof.

Spectrum runs the complete refurbishment loop, so we serve the person selling one phone and the distributor buying a thousand with the same standards.

For customers

Buy certified refurbished

Every phone we sell has been through diagnostics, any needed repair, a factory reset with default software, a full data wipe, a second test and a cosmetic grade. You see the grade before you buy, and pay for the phone you actually get.

  • Popular models from Apple, Samsung and leading Android brands
  • Cosmetic and functional grade stated on every unit
  • Available through Spectrum retail partners and online listings

Graded before you buy

Cosmetic and functional grade on every unit.

Tested in front of you

Instant quote from the real grade, paid by UPI before you leave the counter.

For customers

Sell or trade in your phone

Bring your phone to a Spectrum partner counter. It is tested while you watch, you get a quote based on its real grade, and you are paid instantly by UPI or as store credit. Your data is wiped before the phone leaves the counter.

How it works
For business

Wholesale, enterprise and partner programmes

Wholesale lots

Graded stock for dealers and distributors. Mixed or single-model lots with IMEI lists, grade breakdown and per-unit pricing supplied before you commit.

Enterprise supply

Certified smartphones for field staff, delivery fleets, sales teams and contact centres. Consistent grades, bulk provisioning and replacements when you need them.

Retail buyback programme

Run a Spectrum trade-in counter in your store. We fund the payouts, provide the grading tool and collect the devices.

Details for business buyers

Refurbishment capability

What happens between intake and sale

01

Functional diagnostics

Battery health, display and touch, cameras, speakers and microphones, sensors, cellular and Wi-Fi, charging and ports.

02

Repair and parts, L1 to L4

From module swaps to chip-level BGA work on our own rework stations, by trained technicians, with parts recorded against the device. See the levels ›

03

Cosmetic restoration

Cleaning, polishing and housing work that brings a device up to its target grade without hiding real wear.

04

Factory reset and data erasure

Original factory settings, default software reinstalled, free software updates, previous-owner data wiped.

05

Second test and grade

Full functional pass again on every unit, then a cosmetic grade. Not a sample: every unit.

06

IMEI verification

Ownership and blacklist checks at intake so a problem device never enters stock.

Repair levels

L1 to L4 refurbishment, under one roof

Every device is routed to the lowest level that returns it to grade. Nothing is over-repaired, and nothing that needs board work is passed off as a clean-and-test.

L1Test · clean · eraseNo disassembly. Full diagnostics, cosmetic cleaning, factory reset and certified data erasure, software flash, grade and pack.
L2Module replacementDisplay, battery, back glass, cameras, charging port, speakers and buttons swapped as modules. No soldering.
L3Board-level repairComponent-level work on the logic board: connectors, ICs, power and charging circuits, under microscope with hot-air and micro-soldering.
L4Chip-level · BGABGA reballing, CPU, NAND and baseband transplants, dead-board and no-power recovery on dedicated rework stations.

L3 and L4 in-house

Board-level and chip-level repair on our own BGA rework stations, not sent out to a third party.

Routed by diagnosis, logged by IMEI

The repair level is set at diagnosis and recorded on the device passport with the parts used.

Grading

How we grade

Two things are graded separately: how a phone looks, and whether everything works. A cosmetic grade never hides a functional fault.

PremiumLike newNo visible marks on screen or body. Fully functional.
AExcellentMinor signs of use only visible on close inspection. Fully functional.
BGoodLight scratches or marks, none on the display area. Fully functional.
CFairVisible wear, possibly light screen scratches. Fully functional.

Devices with functional faults are sold separately as repair or parts units and are never listed under a cosmetic grade.
