Used Phone Lene Se Pehle Ye 15 Checks Zaroor Kar Lo — Ek Galti 20–30K Dubaa Degî

 Bhai, 2022 mein mera budget tight tha aur iPhone 13 bohot dil kar raha tha. Naya toh 80k+ ka tha, isliye OLX pe ek “10/10 condition, bill-box-charger sab hai” wala 512GB variant 48k mein mila. Seller ne bola “ek baar bhi nahi gira, lady used”. Main excitement mein seedha uske ghar pahunch gaya, paise deke phone le aaya. Ghar aake jab SIM daali toh pata chala iCloud lock laga hua hai, seller ka number band, aur main 48 hazar rupaye ka chu***ya ban gaya. Us din ke baad maine kasam kha li ki jo galtiyaan maine ki, woh koi aur na kare. Aaj jo 15 points likhne ja raha hun, yeh mere aur mere doston ke khoon-pasine se bane hain. Inme se ek bhi miss kiya toh bhasad ho sakti hai.

Used Phone Kharidne Se Pehle Ye Galtiyan Mat Karna

1. Pehle seller se video call pe phone dikhaane ko bolo Sirf photos pe bharosa mat karo. Video call pe aage-peeche ghumake dikhaaye, corners dikhaaye, screen lift dikhaaye. Ek baar ek ladke ne photos mein bilkul clean phone dikhaya, video call pe pata chala display ka half hissa purple ho gaya tha.
2. IMEI number note karo aur icloud.com/find ya Samsung Find My Mobile pe check karo Agar “Activation Lock On” ya “Find My iPhone On” dikha raha hai toh bhaag jao wahan se. Yeh lock utrega nahi jab tak original owner na utaare.
3. *#06# daal ke IMEI match karo Jo phone mein dikhe aur jo box pe likha hai, woh same hona chahiye. Agar alag hai toh 100% refurnished ya nakli parts wala phone hai.
4. Phone ko full bright karke screen check karo White background pe yellow spots, green tint, black crush, dead pixels – yeh sab 6 mahine mein aur kharab hote hain. Ek baar mera dost S21 Ultra laya tha, normal lag raha tha, full brightness pe 4 yellow spots dikh gaye.
5. Har corner se phone ko zor se dabao Agar display ya back glass lift ho raha hai ya “kuch-kuch” awaaz aa rahi hai toh phone pehle buri tarah gira hai aur glue khul chuka hai.
6. Battery health zaroor check karo iPhone mein Settings → Battery → Battery Health. 80% se neeche hai aur phone 2+ saal purana hai toh 6-8 mahine mein battery change karwana padega (12-15k extra kharcha). Android mein AccuBattery ya CPU-Z se cycle count dekho.
7. Sab sensors test karo #0# (Samsung) ya ##4636## daal ke sensor test karo. Proximity sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer – PUBG khelte waqt ya call uthate waqt yeh sab kaam nahi karenge toh roz gaaliyaan nikalengi.
8. Camera har lens se photo-video lo Ek baar Nothing Phone (2) liya tha dost ne, 50MP wala rear camera blur aa raha tha. Seller ne bola “software issue hai, update se theek ho jayega”. 8 mahine ho gaye, ab tak blur hai.
9. Charging port achhe se dekho aur slow-fast charger dono try karo Type-C port mein dust bhara rehta hai ya pin toot jata hai, charging 5W pe atak jati hai. Mera ek S20 FE 65W support karta tha lekin used wale mein port kharab tha, 15W se zyada nahi leta tha.
10. Speaker aur mic test karo Voice recorder se record karke suno, call pe dost ko bulao. Bahut used phones mein earpiece speaker ya mic kharab hota hai, repair 3-5k ka.
11. Face ID / Fingerprint sensor 3-4 baar try karo Bahut baar sensor half dead hota hai, kabhi kaam karta hai kabhi nahi. Ek baar iPhone 12 liya tha jisme Face ID 50% time fail hota tha.
12. Original bill + box + purchase date check karo Warranty bachi ho toh bonus, nahi toh bhi proof hona chahiye ki phone chori ka nahi hai. CEIR.gov.in pe bhi IMEI daal ke block/listed toh nahi check kar lo.
13. Phone ko 15-20 minute tak PUBG ya Genshin chala ke garam hone do Agar 5 minute mein hi haath jalne lage ya 15% battery 10 minute mein gir jaye toh processor/motherboard mein dikkat hai.
14. Seller se purana Apple ID/Google account sign out karwao aapke saamne Aur phone ko factory reset bhi karwao aapke saamne. Ghar jaake khud mat karna, wahan hi ho jaye sab.
15. Cash mat dena, UPI ya bank transfer karo Agar fraud nikla toh bank mein complaint kar sakte ho. Aur hamesha public place ya seller ke ghar pe milo, akela mat jana.

 Bonus Tip: 30k+ Phones Hamesha Warranty Wale Platform Se Lo

Ek bonus tip dil se – agar 30-35k se upar ka phone le rahe ho toh 1500-2000 rupaye zyada do aur Cashify ya 2GUD jaise platforms se lo jahan 6 mahine warranty milti hai. Main ab kabhi 20k se zyada ka used phone OLX/Facebook se nahi leta, dil ki aman ke liye thoda premium de deta hun.

Us 48 hazar ke jhatke ke baad maine 8 mahine paisa jodha aur iPhone 13 nayaa hi liya. Ab lagta hai ki sukoon bhi koi cheez hoti hai.
