At Remarketed, we give mobile devices a second life by undertaking the necessary refurbishing steps, thereby allowing customers a more environmentally friendly and less costly option of their mobile device. Each step of the refurbishing process is taken care of directly at our facilities. Every single device passes through the same phases before it reaches our customers. At first, the device gets tested with our specialised testing software to find out whether there are any defects. If so, the device will be repaired by fixing or exchanging the faulty components. To guarantee full functionality, the device gets tested once again on more than 50 functions. Only those devices that pass all points are forwarded to the cleaning phase. By professionally polishing and cleaning each device, we ensure the best possible appearance. Based on the final aesthetic result, the device is graded, packed and ready to be shipped to you! This device also has a new battery. The new battery is extensively tested by us, is 100% functional and CE certified. Introduction: The iPhone 12 Mini, like his big brother, is known for being lightning fast. The speedy A14 Bionic processor is to blame for this. With a 5.4-inch OLED display the iPhone fits flawlessly into your hand without sacrificing quality.

The Wide lens captures 27% more light than the previous models. The iPhone 12 Mini is noted for its 4K-HDR camera, which can record in Dolby Vision.
