Our Grading

Next Loop uses a transparent grading system designed for B2B buyers who require consistency, accuracy, and predictable quality.

Each device is inspected, tested, and cosmetically evaluated before a final grade is assigned.

The grading standards on this page match the grading shown on our homepage and serve as the official definitions for all Used Devices we supply.
