Certified Pre-Owned iPhone 11 Purple 128GB 4G LTE (2020 – Slim Packing) Review – Model Number: iPhone 11

Having spent several weeks with a certified pre-owned iPhone 11 (Model Number: iPhone 11), I’m ready to share my experience. This particular unit, a vibrant purple 128GB model, arrived in excellent condition, exceeding my expectations for a refurbished device. The slim packaging was a nice touch, minimizing waste. This review will delve into its performance, features, and overall value.

The iPhone 11 boasts a compelling array of features. Its dual 12MP rear cameras (12+12mp) deliver stunning photos and videos, even in low-light conditions. The inclusion of 4K video recording is a significant plus. The A13 Bionic chip ensures smooth and responsive performance, even with demanding apps. The 6.1-inch IPS LCD display provides vibrant colors and crisp detail. Facial recognition via TrueDepth camera was quick and accurate.

Features like the extended dynamic range for video up to 60 fps and slow-motion video support at 1080p at 120 fps add significant value, enhancing the overall multimedia capabilities of the device.

The dual SIM functionality is incredibly convenient for users who need separate work and personal numbers. The fast charging support is a welcome feature, though it does require a compatible charger.

Daily usage was a breeze. Apps launched instantly, and multitasking was seamless. Gaming performance was excellent, with no noticeable lag or frame drops even during graphically intensive games. The battery (3110 mAh) easily lasted a full day on a single charge with moderate usage. Even with heavier usage including streaming and gaming I could reliably get through most of the day.

I also tested the camera extensively. The quality of the images and videos was impressive. Low light performance was better than expected for a device of its age. The color accuracy and dynamic range were both excellent. The 60Hz refresh rate is standard now, but still provides a smooth and responsive experience.

Pros:

  • Excellent camera performance
  • Smooth and responsive performance thanks to the A13 Bionic chip
  • Long battery life
  • Durable design and build quality
  • Dual SIM support
  • Good value for a certified pre-owned device

Cons:

  • No expandable memory
  • The 60Hz refresh rate feels a little dated compared to newer devices.
  • iOS 13 is an older version, limiting access to the newest features

The certified pre-owned iPhone 11 (Model Number: iPhone 11) proved to be a reliable and capable smartphone. While it lacks some features of newer models, its performance, camera quality, and overall user experience are still very impressive. The cost savings compared to a new device make it an excellent option for budget-conscious consumers. I would wholeheartedly recommend this device to anyone looking for a powerful, yet affordable smartphone.
