I am looking for a good device under 8k and I zeroed in LG G2 16GB D802 model. I am getting it for 8.5k, the reason I want to buy it because of Camera, display and performance, though i would use it for whatsapp browsing and casual games like 8ball, Sudoku. And. I am more attracted to device because of its looks, please don't suggest Xiaomi or Lenovo because mind is more inclined towards Samsung, LG, Apple, Huawei, Asus.

there are lots of factors to consider while buying a refurbished device. like who has refurbished the device: the original manufacturer or any third party? are there any warranty benefits? i remember watching on youtube an unboxing video of a refurbished Galaxy S7 Edge bought on amazon.in and it was clearly a duplicate device and not an original S7 Edge. so, there are many things to be considered cautiously. where are you going to buy the refurbished LG G2? i would suggest to go with new device. my wife is using Honor Holly 2 Plus which comes for 8499 and it is a quite good device. premium looks for the budget, good build quality, nice battery backup, decent performance, nice camera.

Depends on the condition of the phone, how it was used. I find it hard to believe most users nowadays, so might advise you to skip the deal. You can get a Moto G Turbo new for that price, yeah I know different league but its more than enough I think.

Well if you are getting for significantly lower prices it is worth it.
