Why We Verify Every Device
Buying a used phone is terrifying when you don't know what's inside. A phone might look flawless on the outside but have a boosted battery, a replaced non-genuine display, or broken microphones. That's why Handovr developed the 16-Point Verification process.
The Core Hardware Tests
Our trained executives check every crucial component:
- Display & Touch: We check for dead pixels, touch dead-zones, and verify if Apple True Tone is functional (which proves if the display is genuine).
- Cameras & Lenses: Every lens (Ultrawide, Wide, Telephoto) and the front camera is tested for dust trapped under the glass and focus issues.
- Biometrics: FaceID and Fingerprint sensors are rigorously tested. A broken FaceID sensor drastically reduces the value of an iPhone.
- Audio & Connectivity: Microphones, earpieces, bottom speakers, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular bands are tested via diagnostic tools.
The Security & Legitimacy Checks
We don't just check the hardware; we check the history of the phone.
- CEIR Gov Blacklist Check: We cross-reference the device's IMEI with the government database to ensure it isn't registered as lost or stolen.
- Activation Locks: We ensure no hidden iCloud or Google accounts are locking the phone.
- Battery Diagnostics: We check the battery health and use software to detect anomalous drain, which prevents sellers from using software to "boost" the battery health percentage artificially.
When you buy a phone on Handovr, it has passed this exact 16-point gauntlet. If it fails, the order is cancelled, and the buyer is fully refunded. Complete peace of mind.
