Device Grading Standards
Device Grading Standards
At Trilex Fix, we believe in transparency and honesty. Our device grading system helps you understand exactly what you’re getting with every purchase. We grade all devices based on strict criteria so you can make an informed decision whether you’re buying or selling a device. Our goal is to provide reliable, quality-assured products with clear expectations.
Why We Grade Devices
Grading a device is an important part of ensuring that you, as a customer, know exactly what you’re receiving. Whether you’re buying a refurbished phone, selling an old device, or upgrading to something new, understanding the condition of the device is key to making an informed decision. At Trilex Fix, we carefully grade each device according to a set of specific standards:
- 📦 **Transparency:** Each grade gives you a clear picture of the device’s condition before you buy or sell it.
- ⚙️ **Reliability:** Our grading ensures that devices function properly, even if they show signs of wear.
- 🌱 **Sustainability:** Grading helps promote the reuse of devices, reducing e-waste and making sure electronics stay in use longer.
🟢 Grade A – Excellent Condition
Grade A represents the highest quality available. These devices are near brand-new in both appearance and function. We go the extra mile to ensure that every device in this category is restored to its original factory condition.
- 🟢 **Pristine Condition:** No scratches, dents, or signs of wear. The device looks brand new.
- 🔋 **Battery Health:** Battery health typically above 85%, providing long-lasting performance.
- 🔧 **Fully Functional:** All features work as expected, including the display, cameras, sensors, buttons, and speakers.
- 🖼️ **Screen:** Flawless, with no cracks or deep scratches. The screen is bright and vibrant, with no dead pixels.
- 🌍 **Eco-Friendly:** Devices that are restored to Grade A quality are kept in use for as long as possible, reducing electronic waste.
🟡 Grade B – Good Condition
Grade B devices show some signs of wear, but they remain in good overall condition. While they may have visible cosmetic flaws, they are fully functional and can be a great option for those looking for a more affordable device.

- ♻️ **Value for Money:** A great middle ground for those who want functional devices at a more affordable price.
🟠 Grade C – Fair Condition
Grade C devices show significant wear but are still fully functional. They may have a number of cosmetic imperfections, but they provide an excellent value for those who prioritize function over appearance.
- 🛠️ **Significant Signs of Wear:** These devices may have scratches, dings, or small dents on the body and screen.

🔴 Grade D – Functional But Rough
Grade D represents the lowest quality level for functional devices. These devices may have severe cosmetic damage but still work. They’re best suited for those who need the device to function but aren’t concerned with how it looks.
- ⚠️ **Heavily Worn:** The device will have noticeable physical damage such as cracks, missing pieces, or a scratched-up screen.
- 🔧 **Functionality Remains:** Despite the wear, the device functions normally and can be used for its intended purpose.
