Bought the phone thinking it would be second-hand refurbished. Received a brand new in box phone. Imported from the Middle East but was the international model so no data issues after set up. Was a bit apprehensive but checked and discovered that the third-party sellers/refurbishers sometimes do this. Overall pretty happy with the new phone, wish there was maybe more stated on the website that this could happen to avoid mild panic, especially with the surge in stolen phones, personal data hacking and knockoff products.
