Reboot IT Verified Refurb Certification

Every ZTE T86 sold by Reboot IT undergoes our rigorous Verified Refurb certification process, ensuring you receive a fully functional, professionally restored device. Since 2001, Reboot IT has been an industry expert in refurbishing technology using cutting-edge diagnostic software and comprehensive testing protocols. We've tested all features and functions of this device, including display quality, touch responsiveness, camera clarity, audio performance, connectivity (Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, cellular), button functionality, port integrity, sensor accuracy, and waterproof seal verification. All units are verified refurbished by Reboot IT's thorough testing process, with any worn or faulty components replaced with original parts to guarantee reliable performance.

Cosmetic Condition Grading

Excellent Grade devices are like new with very minor wear—light or fine scratches on the screen that are shallow and barely noticeable, with the body showing minimal signs of use. Good Grade devices are fully functional with more visible cosmetic wear, including scratches on the body, small paint chips, and potential minor screen blemishes, though all remain completely operational. Both grades deliver identical performance and functionality—the grade reflects only cosmetic appearance, not capability.
