How it works

From phone to price in about 90 seconds.

No app, no kiosk. GradeIQ scans, tests, inspects and prices any device through five guided steps — all in the browser, with AI you can audit.

Scan the IMEI

Dial *#06# or scan the barcode. GradeIQ confirms the exact make, model and storage, and checks it against the device in hand.

Under the hood

Fast because it's honest.

GradeIQ never fakes a number. Every grade is inspected, every mark is located, and the record is signed.

Questions, answered

No. GradeIQ is browser-native — the camera, sensors and functional tests all run on the web page. Open the link and start; nothing to download and no kiosk hardware.

The IMEI is your phone's unique serial. Dial *#06# on the device to display it, or scan the barcode on the box or under Settings → About. GradeIQ uses it to confirm the exact model and to check the phone in hand matches.

A vision-AI cascade inspects each captured side, boxes and labels every mark it finds, and maps them to a rubric that produces one grade (Premium / A / B / C / D). Every mark is shown on the photo — nothing is entered by hand.

It says so. If glare, blur or a missing angle means a surface can't be assessed, GradeIQ flags a retake or lets you pick the condition manually — it never guesses a grade off a photo it couldn't actually see.

Yes. The test set is platform-aware — e.g. Face ID only appears on iOS devices — so the checklist always matches the phone being inspected.

It's the single verified record for a device: identity, battery, cosmetic condition, functional results and a trade-in price, sealed with a SHA-256 signature and checked against the scanned IMEI.

It runs on your own instance and stores to your own database. Third-party services (AI grading, payouts) are only called when you add your own keys — otherwise it runs in a self-contained mode.
