The Smart Choice: Refurbished Smartphones from Mobilegoo
In an era where smartphones have become an essential part of our daily lives, the high cost of new models can be a barrier for many. However, refurbished smartphones provide a cost-effective alternative without compromising on quality. Mobilegoo, a leading player in the refurbished phone market, offers an array of devices that cater to various needs and budgets. This article explores the benefits of refurbished smartphones, highlights the best sites for purchasing them, and showcases top options under 20,000, including the popular refurbished Pixel series.
Understanding Refurbished Smartphones
A refurbished smartphone is a pre-owned device that has been returned to the manufacturer or retailer for various reasons, such as minor defects, trade-ins, or simply because the previous owner wanted an upgrade. These phones are meticulously tested, repaired, and restored to like-new condition, ensuring they meet stringent quality standards. Refurbished smartphones are then sold at a significantly reduced price, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.
Why Choose Refurbished Smartphones?
Cost Savings: The most apparent benefit of buying a refurbished smartphone is the cost savings. These devices can be up to 50% cheaper than their brand-new counterparts, allowing consumers to access high-end models without spending a fortune.
Eco-Friendly: Purchasing refurbished phones helps reduce electronic waste. Instead of ending up in a landfill, these devices get a second life, contributing to a more sustainable environment.
Quality Assurance: Reputable refurbished sites, like Mobilegoo, conduct extensive tests to ensure the devices function correctly. Many refurbished smartphones come with warranties, providing peace of mind to buyers.
Access to Premium Features: With the rapid pace of technological advancements, refurbished smartphones often come with features that are only slightly older than the latest models. Consumers can enjoy advanced technology at a fraction of the cost.
Best Refurbished Phones Under 20,000
For those on a budget, finding a refurbished phone under 20,000 can be a game-changer. Mobilegoo and other reputable sites offer excellent options that provide great value for money:
iPhone SE (2020): The iPhone SE (2020) combines the body of the iPhone 8 with the powerful A13 Bionic chip from the iPhone 11. It offers excellent performance and camera quality at an affordable price.
Samsung Galaxy S9: The Samsung Galaxy S9, with its stunning display and powerful hardware, is a great choice for those looking for a premium experience without the premium price tag.
Google Pixel 3a: Known for its exceptional camera quality, the Google Pixel 3a offers a clean Android experience and regular software updates, making it a solid choice for photography enthusiasts.
OnePlus 6T: The OnePlus 6T is known for its speed and performance, thanks to the Snapdragon 845 processor. It also features a large AMOLED display and a decent camera setup.
Xiaomi Mi A3: The Xiaomi Mi A3 offers a pure Android experience with its Android One program. It has a good camera, long battery life, and an attractive design, all at a budget-friendly price.
The Appeal of Refurbished Pixel Phones
Google's Pixel series is renowned for its excellent camera performance and pure Android experience. Refurbished Pixel phones, such as those available on Mobilegoo, offer these benefits at a significantly reduced cost. Here’s why a refurbished Pixel might be the perfect choice:
Camera Quality: Pixel phones are celebrated for their camera capabilities, often rivaling the latest models from other brands. Features like Night Sight and HDR+ enhance photo quality, making them a top choice for photography lovers.
Timely Updates: Google Pixel phones receive regular software updates directly from Google, ensuring the latest features and security patches.
Smooth Performance: Even older Pixel models offer smooth performance, thanks to optimized software and decent hardware specifications.
Value for Money: With refurbished options, consumers can get flagship-level features and performance at a fraction of the original price.
Conclusion
Refurbished smartphones provide an excellent alternative to buying new, offering significant cost savings, environmental benefits, and high-quality devices.

[ Open House Chicago 2024 — All Saints' Episcopal Church, Dank Haus German Cultural Center, St. Mary of the Lake, Riviera Theater, Wilson Avenue Theater]
#I think the people who rehab or maintain historic locations are doing holy work.#I was privileged to catch one of the riviera owners talking about what it looked like back in the day vs. what it is now#the photographs they've put up and what (they can only guess) was there back in the day#I found where the guys rehabbing the wilson avenue theater cut through to the back offices - it was a bank before it was a theater#and there's a whole warren of vaults and breakrooms behind the front-facing bits#and even the curators at all saints' were talking about how the striking dark arts and crafts-style woodwork was brand new#a decision made in the 70s; before that it was just a worn-down church#(even dank haus - it looks like every 90s public school I ever attended and they're in the middle of a refurbishing right now.)#I kept thinking about how thankless a lot of this work is if you don't know how much time and money and attention goes into it.#all you know is that things look different; there's an elevator where there wasn't before and things are neater and cleaner.#except that takes so so many hands and a lot of money and time and someone somewhere caring intensely.#even just this weekend! someone has to arrange for t-shirts sign up volunteers; to train them and give them site-specific instructions.#somebody has to stand around and encourage you to sign up for the email list. and give some tours.#answer questions. talk about the architect and the refurbishment work. tell people where the bathrooms are.#anyway. it's a triumph. it is.#city of the big shoulders#wherever there is light

#…#so i just learned that the $500+ laptop i bought#agonized over the purchase of#did the research on for months#was sold by a third party seller notorious for replacing the drives with cheaper models and basically selling refurbished instead of new#i only realized because something was going on with the fan#and on the bottom were 2 different serial numbers and the system gave me a third seperate one#none of which could be registered on the official site#and then went back to the order and realized the seller was an obvious shady company#and IF I HAD JUST LOOKED THEM UP I WOULDN’T HAVE#BOUGHT THE COMPUTER FROM THEM#i feel…not sick exactly#just furious#i mean at least the computer is functional it just was not worth the money i spent on it#and will hopefully last for the next two years or so

Overwhelmed by nostalgia actually
#this will sound SO elitist of me#but#i miss my summer course at the boarding school that was closed after the summer and they carved out an artificial lake on the manor grounds#and converted the cozy two-person dorm rooms to have bunk beds to fit six to eight kids#apparently they also 'refurbished' a historic building on the site :(#i mean i'm glad someone is taking care of the site - it's so beautiful#but i miss the way it was soooo much and there's no way to go to that place again except in memories#and then !! sequel - cambridge 2019#granted it would probably be much the same as a town if i went in summer again but it really was when i learned how much i love university#but yeah deeply sad and insane about [redacted] manor i miss it sooooo much#one of my teachers actually really liked me and wanted to seriously talk about me studying there full time oabdlskdödldöfo#obviously it was never going to happen because who pays english boarding fees when you can study 100% for free at home#but what if in an alternate universe i did study there#idk i don't feel that sad about THAT missed chance#mostly because i'm legit replicating it w my master's#but i do wonder if i'm going to spend the rest of my life chasing similar places and the way i felt that summer when i was 15 🥹#if you send me a dm and we're friends etc i will show you pictures of the manor because it looks amazing

Maybe once we get a heavy duty sewing machine for the museum and I can take my personal sewing machine home I’ll start signing up to pattern test for historical pattern companies
#I need to email Singer’s Connecticut plant and ask if they would donate a refurbished machine#I’m really at a point where sewing is the only thing my brain wants to do#but also especially hand sewing#I’ve said this before but once my time at my current site seems to be coming to an end I’m absolutely going to be applying at OSV#I have a lot of work to do still to build up our living history program to include more than just scripted tours#but I can kind of see my path as a museum lady unfolding#museum musings#living history#tales from the servant’s wing

Things the Biden-Harris Administration Did This Week #30
August 2-9 2024
The Department of Interior announced the largest investment since 1979 in outdoor recreation and conservation projects. The $325 million will go to support State, territorial, DC, and tribal governments in buying new land for parks and outdoor recreation sites. It also supports expansion and refurbishment of existing sites.
The EPA announced that Birmingham Alabama will get $171 million to update and replace its water system. The city of Birmingham is 70% black and like many black majority cities as struggled with aging water systems and lead pipes causing dangerous drinking water conditions. This investment is part of the Biden-Harris administrations plan to replace all of the nation's lead pipes.
The Department of Energy announced $2.2 billion in investments in the national power grid to help boost resiliency in the face of extreme weather. The projects will add 13 gigawatts of capacity, support 5,000 new jobs and upgrade 1,000 miles of transmission. Major projects will cut power outages in the west, drive down energy prices in New England, add off shore wind, and enable the development of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s wind resources.
The Justice Department won its massive anti-trust case against Google. A federal judge ruled that Google was an illegal monopoly. The DOJ has an ongoing antitrust suit against Apple, while the Federal Trade Commission is suing Facebook and Amazon for their monopolist practices
The US Government announced $3.9 billion in direct aid to Ukraine. The money will help the Government of Ukraine make up for massive budget short falls caused by the war with Russia. It'll help pay the salaries of teachers, emergency workers, and other public employees, as well helping displaced persons, low-income families and people with disabilities.
The Department of Energy announced $190 million to improve air quality and energy upgrades in K-12 schools. The grants to 320 schools across 25 states will impact 123,000 students, 94% of these schools service student bodies where over half the students qualify for free and reduced lunch. In the face of climate change more schools have been forced to close for extreme heat. These grants will help schools with everything from air filtration, to AC, to more robust energy systems, to replacing lighting.
USAID announced $424 million in additional humanitarian aid to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Due to ongoing conflict and food insecurity, 25 million Congolese are in need of humanitarian aid. This year alone the US has sent close to a billion dollars in aid to the DRC, making it the single largest donor to the crisis.
The Senate approved President Biden's appointment of Stacey Neumann of Maine, Meredith Vacca of New York, and Joseph Saporito Jr. of Pennsylvania to life time federal Judgeships. This brings the total of judges appointed by President Biden to 205. President Biden is the first President who's judicial nominations have not been majority white men, Judge Vacca is the first Asian American to serve in her district court. President Biden has also focused on former public defenders, like Judge Saporito, and former labor lawyers like Judge Neumann, as well as civil rights lawyers.

The Mariner Man's Amusement Park Historic Tunnels
The so-called historic tunnels had long existed when it was refurbished by Commodore Monk's naval military in 1727 as a prison for pirates, criminals, and people who told awful jokes. Few knew of its original purposes. Perhaps it was some sort of venue hall or something for the ancient people of the area? Maybe they loved group karaoke or something?
The corridors twist and turn, but it's actually pretty simple; the left area takes you to the historic site of Melcinea's statue, while the right area takes you to the prison cells. Fun!
The secret passaggeways will take you to the 'venue hall', complete with its own pool that goes straight into an underwater cavern passageway.
Gee, I hope nothing BIG and ELDRITCH like Thoggus, the Dark Emperor of the Seas, crawls out of the murky waters if you put the skulls of the Eight Reverends of the Deep around his statue and the town's dumbest virgin of any gender strapped to the scarily uncomfortable chair!

Steps To Take Before You Donate:
A guide from someone who works at a thrift store and has seen some things. This is generalized and not specific to the store I work at.
The first step for ALL of these sections is to look at what you have. Is it something you would give to a friend or relative? No? Then don’t donate it. (Examples of things not to donate: moldy clothes, a soiled pair of pants, sticky dishes, broken mirror)
Clothes and Linens (aka soft lines)
Look to see if your clothes are wet, moldy, or have bodily fluids on them. These types of items will end up at the landfill if you donate them. Just save employees the horror and throw away your own garbage
Don’t donate used underwear or socks, but bras are fine
If the clothes are dirty, wash them (please)
If you want to be super helpful to processors, separate halloween costumes and shoes into different bags or boxes. These items all get processed separately in stores
Donate it even if its ‘poor quality’. Clothing not sold in stores gets sent to textile recyclers
All of this applies to linens (such as blankets and sheets) as well
Electronics
If you have any large items, call the store ahead of time to make sure they are willing to take it. Not all stores have big warehouses for large items. If not, try a different store or chain
Check for any chewed on, or exposed wire. Thrift stores can’t sell these items for safety purposes
If you don’t have a wire or charger for the electronic, ensure that it will stay with the item (tape or rubber bands will work well for this) if an item can’t be tested in store to see if it works, it will not be sold in a typical retail store. It will likely be sent straight to an outlet store
If you are planning on donating a TV (small or big) call the store first, some are able to take them and some are not. Check with them first so they don’t have to turn you away after you get there
If the computer doesn’t work completely, donate it anyway, most thrift stores send them to get refurbished and their memory wiped
Books/Media
Do your books have mold on them or are the pages damp? Don’t donate them
Are the disks so scratched up that they don’t play? Don’t donate them
Stores do accept VHS tapes and cassettes!
If you are donating a bunch of loose disks without cases, keep them together in a bag or a box
If you only have a case for a game (NOT DVD), donate it! People actually buy those
Separate your books and media from other items you are donating, as these get processed separately
Shoes (usually sorted into hard lines but may vary depending on the chain)
If your shoes have bodily fluids on them, or even just some left over dog poop, either clean them or don’t donate them. No one wants to touch that
Even if your shoes have been worn to hell and back (and are not gross), donate them! Just like clothes, if they aren’t sold, most stores will recycle them
Do your best to keep pairs together! Either in a box, tie the laces together, or use a rubber band!
(We do actually love getting shoes donated in their boxes - it makes it a lot easier to sort than a giant garbage bag full of loose shoes)
If you aren’t sure what category shoes fall into at the store you are donating to, just ask! We would much rather that than find shoes in unexpected places!
Furniture
Does it require repairs? Don’t donate it, try a local yard sale site instead
Is it big? Call ahead and make sure the store has space for it
Not every store accepts mattresses/beds/bed frames. Call ahead and ask
If you have a rug, has an animal gone to the bathroom on it? Yeah? Don’t donate that
Side note: if you just bought a big piece of furniture from a thrift store, bring some buddies to help you pick it up. And a big enough vehicle. Our donation door workers are still people and can only do so much to move a giant glass table and fit it into your kia soul when you decide to pick it up 30 minutes before we close
Other Items (aka hard lines)
If a baby is meant to sit or lay in the item, we can’t sell that for safety reasons, even if its brand new
Some stores will sell helmets if they are in good condition, but not all stores. Double check before you drop them off
If you are donating dish ware or china, make sure it is washed and clean. No one wants to touch sticky mixing bowls with a mysterious substance inside
Wrap your dishes or any fragile items and place them in boxes, it helps make sure they dont break before they get processed
If its broken, don’t donate it. Think: is this something I would give a friend?
Put your jewelry together and separate from other items. That way we dont only find one earing
No already lit or used candles that are more than halfway gone, find ways to up cycle them, or see if a friend would like them instead!
No one wants your used bedroom toys. Please no. Im begging you just throw them away if you dont want them
If there are nails sticking out of it, or someone could get hurt on it, wrap it and write a note. Same goes for knives. I can’t even begin to express how many times I’ve almost cut off a finger while reaching into a box of donations
Other Tips
If its sticky, wipe it down
If its fragile, put it in a box not a bag
If its sharp, wrap it
If its multiple pieces, tape it or find a way to keep it all together before you donate it
If you aren’t sure if a store will take it, just call and ask!
