Grading Standards

Four grades. Zero ambiguity.

Every unit shipped from Kordova Global is inspected against the framework below. Grades are applied consistently across batches so your purchase decisions translate directly into resale outcomes.

Grade S

As-New

Indistinguishable from new under normal inspection. No visible wear on screen or housing. 100% functional, original components.

Grade A

Excellent

Minor wear only visible under close inspection. No screen scratches affecting display. Fully functional with original components.

Grade B

Good

Visible cosmetic wear on housing; faint screen marks possible. Fully functional. Ideal for repair/refurb resale channels.

Grade C

Working

Heavier cosmetic wear acceptable. Fully functional or clearly disclosed faults. Best suited to parts, recycling and budget repair.
