Check IMEI Number
Always verify the IMEI number on the device, box, and invoice. This ensures the phone is genuine and not stolen or blacklisted.
- Dial *#06# to check IMEI
- Match IMEI on box and device
- Verify IMEI on official government portals
IMEI verification protects you from fraud and stolen devices.
Test Camera and Battery Performance
Camera and battery are the most used features in a smartphone. Always test them thoroughly before buying or renting.
- Check for overheating during use
- Test battery drain and charging speed
- Verify front and rear camera quality

Proper testing ensures you get a reliable and long‑lasting device.
Inspect Screen and Body Condition
Screen damage can be expensive to repair. Inspect the display and body carefully.

- Look for dead pixels or screen burn‑in
- Inspect frame and buttons for damage
A clean screen and solid body ensure better usability and durability.
