Huawei has started selling certified refurbished premium smartphones on its official online store in China. Hence, interested customers can now buy high-end HUAWEI devices at reduced price tags. The company has currently listed 8 models for sale.

As Huawei’s smartphone business is in trouble, the company is doing everything it can do to stay alive. Recently, it has even begun to license its hardware designs to other brands.

Now, it has also kicked off selling certified refurbished handsets. This could be mostly because of the firm’s inability to mass manufacture new phones as it used to once.

According to the official announcement post on Weibo, these refurbished handsets include 100% original components, including new batteries. They also ship with HarmonyOS 2 update.

Further, these devices undergo strict ‘Huawei quality’ inspections. They also come with a 1-year warranty. Hence, Huawei advertises them as value for money.

At the end of the day, refurbished phones do have some issues. For instance, ITHome says that some of the units may have minor scratches, bents, and other small damages, which are negligible for most customers, given the lower asking price than usual.

The following refurbished models are available for purchase on Vmall.

• HUAWEI Mate30 RS PORSCHE DESIGN – Starts from ¥9,699 ($1,520)
• HUAWEI Mate20 RS PORSCHE DESIGN – Starts from  ¥4,799 ($752)
• HUAWEI Mate30 Pro 5G – Starts from ¥5,039 ($790)
• HUAWEI Mate30 Pro – Starts from ¥4,399 ($689)
