Huawei's mobile phone trade-in activity, what was the biggest use of old mobile phone recycling in the past?

Recently, Huawei P40 series has been put on sale. Many consumers who are interested in this mobile phone have also noticed Huawei's official activities, that is, they can participate in the trade-in, and users who participate in the activities can enjoy two rights and interests, that is, the maximum subsidy for old machines is 1000 yuan, and the maximum reduction for new machines is 800 yuan.

First of all, this activity is a cooperation between Huawei and a third party. As a product recycling and environmental protection processing platform, this platform uses recycled mobile phones for two purposes. The first is circulation in the second-hand market. Usually this kind of mobile phone can be used normally, and the style is not very old, such as Huawei P30 and other products. These relatively new old mobile phones with better colors will be sorted by color value and then sold to some customers to earn the difference.

For some old or abnormal mobile phones, the platform will be recycled at a relatively low price, and then decomposed through 23 technological processes, such as shape destruction, code scanning, sorting, strong magnetism, desoldering, tin stripping, crushing and heavy metal extraction. This can decompose the available resources in the mobile phone and avoid environmental pollution caused by unreasonable treatment.

More importantly, many people actually only know that recycling used mobile phones can avoid environmental pollution, but they don't know that there is a "gold mine" hidden in it, which can extract many rare and precious metals.

According to public information, recycling 42 old mobile phones is equivalent to saving one family's energy consumption 1 year. Many rare things such as 100 kg of copper, 93 kg of tin, 32 kg of iron, 2 kg of silver, 1 kg of lead, 230 g of gold and 100 g of palladium can be extracted from a ton of old mobile phones. The key is to use old mobile phones to extract metals, with high efficiency, high purity and low energy consumption. It can be said that the old mobile phone is a rare high-quality "mineral deposit".

In 20 16, Apple announced their recycling project in the financial report, from which steel, aluminum, glass and gold were extracted, with a total weight of 27,000 tons, of which gold was close to one ton.

Is Huawei trying to find gold from old mobile phones?

You can often hear the cry of "old mobile phone for scissors and kitchen knife". Why did they change their old mobile phones? Some people say that replacing old mobile phones is to get precious metals from them and refine gold.

In fact, Huawei mobile phones, or all other mobile phone manufacturers, will trade in old ones for new ones. Why? For mobile phone manufacturers, recycling used mobile phones has many advantages:

In fact, I have to say seriously-

Mainly for the competition in the mobile phone market, Huawei and other mobile phone manufacturers attract consumers in this way, so that consumers can feel the sense of belonging of the brand; On the other hand, it can stimulate the sales of new machines.

Let me answer this question for reference only.

First, recycling old mobile phones for new ones is a last resort strategy.

Since 2000, smart phones have developed rapidly. Today, almost one person, the market is saturated. Even if the sales staff work hard, the overall performance of the company will not be greatly improved. Product upgrading and trade-in is a way out. Trade-in cannot guarantee a substantial increase in the company's sales performance, nor will it lead to a decline in sales. Trade-in was not invented by Huawei, but has existed in the automobile industry for a long time. The market is saturated and the sales performance declines. Trade-in may save or delay the decline in sales performance.

Second, what can recycled mobile phones do? Huawei and Apple are not at the same level. Apple's mobile phone can be recycled and can be sold after the official turnover. Huawei will not have an official turnover, because the profit from renovating a Huawei mobile phone is too low! That year, I went to Zhongguancun to buy Huawei mobile phones, fearing to buy second-hand goods. As a result, the boss said that Huawei's mobile phone was not refurbished. Because the cost of renovating a Huawei mobile phone is far greater than the middle price difference between collecting and selling second-hand Huawei mobile phones. Apple's mobile phones are generally expensive, and there is a big gap between the second mobile phone and the new mobile phone. After renovation, there will be room for profit. As for Huawei's mobile phones, merchants disdain to charge the old with the new.

What's the point of recycling? Dismantle the machine! Mobile phones can be refunded within seven days, returned and exchanged within one month, and repaired free of charge within one year. But you should know that these terms are aimed at consumers. Mobile phone parts are not within these restrictions. For example, if the camera of a mobile phone breaks down within one year, the manufacturer only provides maintenance, provided that there is something wrong with the product quality. However, the warranty period of the mobile phone camera by the mobile phone accessories supplier is three years. Huawei can exchange the same batch of parts for free. The returned parts can be used in new equipment, as long as the product upgrade gap is not big.

To sum up, mobile phone manufacturers will not do business at a loss. The warranty period of the whole machine is much lower than that of parts. In fact, Apple's mobile phone does the same. For example, when you go to the toilet, you drop your mobile phone in the toilet and get water. You went to the after-sales store and lied about the quality of your mobile phone. In fact, Apple is well aware of the failure of the mobile phone after designating the after-sales store. The second mobile phone officially repaired is most afraid of after-sales service, and the price of the officially repaired Apple mobile phone is not much lower than the new one. As for the maintenance fee, it's nothing. This is why Apple officials are so generous to users.

I really don't feel at ease giving my old mobile phone to the old men who are shouting "recycling old mobile phones". In that case, I'd rather put my old mobile phone in a drawer than change a washbasin with the old man, but I can still sleep well by giving my old mobile phone to Huawei. Huawei's old mobile phone replacement is still very reliable.

What are the uses of Huawei recycling old mobile phones? In fact, this issue has always been controversial, and there are many speculations. It can also be said that it is the talk of everyone after dinner. Some people say that Huawei is doing this for marketing, to attract users' attention, and to make its new machine sell well; Some are extracting precious metals; Some people say that it will be to disassemble the internal parts of the mobile phone and reuse it; Some people even say that Huawei recycles old mobile phones for washbasins. Hearing this guess, I suddenly lost my mind. For a technology giant like Huawei, is it rich and still short of washbasins?

I still agree with some speculations from outside. For example, trade-in is conducive to the best-selling of Huawei's new products and the refining of precious metals in old mobile phones. But I think the biggest use of Huawei recycling old mobile phones is to improve our environment, which has a great effect on our future generations. It can be said that Huawei's move is worthy of our praise.

According to relevant data, about 50 million tons of e-waste are generated worldwide every year, and about 90% of the discarded electronic products have not been effectively treated, which has brought great pressure to our environment. Take our mobile phone as an example. The update speed of mobile phones is extremely fast. Nowadays, most people have several mobile phones, and the elimination rate of mobile phones is also high.

According to incomplete statistics, in 20 15, global smartphone shipments were about 600 million, while China eliminated about 400 million mobile phones every year. Faced with this situation, there are many industries that recycle mobile phones all over the country. Some old people shouted in the street, "recycle color TV sets, old refrigerator air conditioners and old mobile phones." After all, recycling mobile phones can realize resource recycling and environmental sustainable development, which is the inevitable trend of the future development of the mobile phone industry.

In fact, personally, I still feel uneasy about giving my old mobile phone to my father. Why? Because if we give the old mobile phone to an individual, if we forget to delete the important information in our mobile phone, won't it lead to information leakage? Moreover, this old mobile phone has served us for many years. It may only be a little low in configuration, but it is still easy to use. However, if such a mobile phone can only change a washbasin or tens of yuan with the elderly, it will feel that the valuation of the mobile phone is not high, so it has long been known that the recycling industry of used mobile phones has not been well developed.

In order to improve the environment more effectively, according to relevant introduction, in 20 15, Huawei launched the "Green Action 2.0 Trade-in" mobile phone recycling plan. According to relevant information, our users can leave their used mobile phones at designated outlets, and Huawei will hand them over to a third-party recycling manufacturer that has undergone strict audit for professional treatment. So we don't have to worry about information leakage, because the third party will ensure the destruction of users' personal information during the processing.

To sum up, I think Huawei's trade-in is very reliable, and we have no doubt about this. Moreover, I think Huawei, a company that is not short of money, recycles old mobile phones entirely as a company and contributes to environmental protection. Of course, Huawei's kindness has also played a series of chain reactions, such as trade-in to promote its own products.

First of all, we know that China has a large number of second-hand mobile phones every year. And we all know that a mobile phone is made up of many parts. For a better experience, some mobile phones may be plated with gold. According to an online data, recycling about 42 old mobile phones is equivalent to saving a family's energy consumption for one year. Many rare and precious metals such as silver, copper, gold, tin and iron can be extracted from 1 ton of used mobile phones, and the extraction rate is very high. I think this is also an important use!

As for the speculation that Huawei will sell refurbished machines and then sell them to users, I don't think Huawei will do such an act that hurts users' hearts. I think anything bought in Huawei official website is genuine. For such a rich boss, he will not renovate the accessories in the second-hand mobile phone and sell them to users.

To sum up, I personally think that Huawei's role in recycling old mobile phones is to protect the environment, followed by refining precious metals or melting old mobile phones into raw materials. Of course, Huawei's "Trade-in Green Action" was originally born to solve environmental problems, but this righteous act has been recognized by the majority of users invisibly. This action has driven the vast number of users to browse Huawei outlets, which has played a propaganda role and is conducive to product sales. Do you think the old mobile phones recycled by Huawei are still useful? Welcome everyone to discuss together!

The main profit point of "trade-in" of mobile phone manufacturers is to sell new mobile phones, rather than recycling old mobile phones and doing some trade-in activities. So, where have all these recycled old mobile phones gone?

There are two main purposes for exchanging old mobile phones for new ones:

Trade-in of official channels usually does not steal or recover mobile phone data. Instead, the mobile phone is disassembled as a whole, and the whole machine is disassembled into ordinary recyclable materials, such as display screens, cameras, precious metals and so on. Plastic products will be further crushed and returned to the recycling plastic factory for processing, and gold and silver will generally be recycled for circuit boards.

For old mobile phones with good color, they may be officially sold after shell replacement and enter the second-hand market such as zhuanzhuan and salted fish, but the use value of old mobile phones is still limited.

The essence of trade-in is a promotion activity, which is not much different from ordinary discount promotion in cost. It can be said that the old mobile phone that has been replaced is of little recycling value to the merchants. From the consumer's point of view, it is also a privilege to buy a new model of mobile phone at a price lower than the market price.

At the same time, the "trade-in" activity has further strengthened the brand loyalty of users. Replacing the same brand is very useful for consolidating market share and preventing the loss of old users when replacing new machines.

In short, the essence of "trade-in" is still a promotional activity. Most old mobile phones have entered the scrapping process, and it is not excluded that some products will flow into the second-hand mobile phone market after renovation.

Huawei's trade-in activity is officially authorized by a third party to recycle, not Huawei's recycling. Don't think that it will be recycling resources, then integrating and recycling? In fact, it is more that the trade-in service can promote the sales of new machines to a certain extent, which gives users another reason to change machines in the context of weak growth in mobile phone sales.

Reuse of resources. It is said that the precious metal parts in the mobile phone alchemy factory are extracted, such as recovering the elements such as Ni (nickel), Pb (lead), Ag, Au, Fe, Cu, Sn (tin) and Pd (palladium) that may be contained in the mobile phone motherboard or internal parts, and then disposing of the wastes such as plastics and glass.

Pollution prevention. Every mobile phone contains a certain amount of heavy metals, which will pollute the environment to a certain extent. The corresponding disposal of old mobile phones can also prevent pollution.

The official flip machine is just like the iPhone. The refurbished equipment of Apple products after factory maintenance through after-sales channels is of high quality and enjoys a minimum 90-day warranty.

Exile the second-hand market is undeniable, some people just "like the new and hate the old." There is no quality problem in the mobile phone itself, and the fluency is not bad in all aspects. This kind of mobile phone still has a certain second-hand market value, and recycling at a low price and selling at a high price is also the routine of recycling institutions.

In fact, a few days ago, Huawei P40 online and offline trade-in activities were jointly conducted by Idle Fish Station X, recycling treasure and Huawei, which means there is official authorization.

Recycling treasure also launched the P40 trade-in service in conjunction with the official flagship store of Huawei Tmall. Participating users can enjoy free pick-up at home, collect money first and then deliver the goods. It is reported that in this activity, the maximum subsidy for trade-in is only 1000 yuan. . .

Indeed, Huawei's mobile phone preservation rate is indeed not ideal. A machine with the size of several thousand yuan may not recover 1000 yuan if it is used normally without bumping.

When P30 Pro was released, even the minimum price was 5488 yuan. In less than a year, 95 New Products and Love Recycling only gave the recycling price of 1600 yuan. In words, it is hard to hide dissatisfaction ...

In today's era of excess mobile phone performance, the performance and functions of mobile phones can fully meet the long-term use of consumers. Mobile phone sales naturally have the appearance of stagnation.

There are too many competing products now, and consumers are more rational when choosing mobile phones. At the same time, it also "curbed" the sales growth of their respective manufacturers' brands to a certain extent.

More than two thousand machines, second-hand recycling two hundred? Facts have proved that these so-called cooperative recycling and trade-in are more gimmicks and cannot bring real value to consumers. To put it bluntly, it is to give users one more reason to change machines. In fact, the bigger advantage is that the trade-in service can promote the sales of new machines to a certain extent.

First, recycling old mobile phones is a necessary strategy.

Smartphones developed rapidly after 2000. Now almost everyone has a smart phone, and the market is saturated. Even if the sales staff work hard, the overall performance of the company will not be greatly improved. Product upgrading is a way out. Although there is no guarantee that the company's sales performance will soar, it will not lead to a decline in sales. Trade-in was not invented by Huawei, but by the automobile industry. The saturated sales volume of the market has declined, and the trade-in may save or delay the decline in sales volume.

Second, what can recycled mobile phones do? Huawei and Apple have different levels. Apple phones can be recycled and sold after formal transactions. Huawei will not have formal employee turnover. That's because the profit of renovating Huawei mobile phones is too low! That year, I went to Zhongguancun to buy Huawei mobile phones, fearing to buy second-hand goods. So the boss said that Huawei's mobile phone has no new products. Because the cost of renovating a Huawei mobile phone is far greater than the middle price difference between the sale and reception of the old Huawei mobile phone. Apple phones are usually expensive. There is a big gap between the second mobile phone and the new mobile phone, and there will be profit space for renovation. As for Huawei mobile phones, merchants disdain to trade in old ones.

What's the point of recycling? Mobile phones can be refunded within seven days, returned within one month and repaired free of charge within one year. But you should know that these terms are aimed at consumers. Some mobile phones may not be within these restrictions. For example, if the camera of a mobile phone breaks down within one year, the manufacturer only provides maintenance, provided that the product quality is defective. However, the warranty period of the mobile phone camera by the mobile phone accessories supplier is three years. Huawei can replace the same batch of parts for free. As long as the product upgrade gap is not big, the replaced parts can be used for new equipment.

To sum up, mobile phone manufacturers will not make loss-making transactions. The warranty period of the whole machine is much lower than that of the parts. In fact, Apple phones will do the same thing. For example, if you go to the toilet and throw your mobile phone into the toilet, it will get water. When you went to the after-sales service center, you lied about the quality of your mobile phone. In fact, the after-sales service department designated by Apple knows that the mobile phone is faulty. The second mobile phone officially repaired is most afraid of after-sales service. The price of Apple mobile phone after regular maintenance is not much lower than that of new mobile phone. As for the maintenance fee, nothing. This is why Apple officials are so generous to users.

Huawei's mobile phone trade-in activity, what was the biggest use of old mobile phone recycling in the past?

This question is very interesting. Many people see the recycling of old mobile phones and think they will take them back for renovation and then sell them. After all, it is the official platform! In fact, apart from Apple, there is no real official refurbished machine. Moreover, Apple's official refurbished machine will be marked when it is sold, enjoying the same three-guarantee policy as the new machine, while Huawei does not have this service.

Is this possible? Huawei does have an official refurbished machine, but it is not as public as Apple. It is feasible in theory, but it is completely unnecessary in practice. Because there are fewer models of Apple mobile phones, the internal design and construction is a gradual process, and the market share of a single model is relatively large, and the production line is relatively simple and easy to transform. Therefore, after the old mobile phones are recycled, some vulnerable parts can be officially sold by replacing them.

Huawei has too many models. In addition to the single model sales of Mate series and P series, many models are dolls and do not need to be refurbished at all. Is it not good to sell him a new machine? Let's talk about this flagship model number again. The market share is really good, but the upgrading of Huawei's mobile phones did not last. Each generation of updates is very different from the previous generation. Many components are not universal. Recyclable mobile phones are at least a year old. The production line has long been removed or changed, and it does not have the conditions for transformation. It is better to release a new model. Anyway, Huawei has enough mobile phone models, and I don't care much.

A large-scale brand like Huawei can make its own second-hand mall, but there is no official manufacturer to do so at present, because making a second-hand platform will affect the sales of its new machine.

Considering that the second-hand market of Huawei mobile phones is very mature now, the official trade-in price is still very firm. After recycling, Huawei directly cooperates with a third-party professional recycling platform, or some channel providers conduct secondary sales. In other words, I sold my new mobile phone and revitalized the second-hand market. It was a double blow.

As for the parts that many people say have been dismantled, that is a matter for second-hand dealers. Usually this kind of mobile phone is either "seriously ill" or "dead", and the recycling price is pitifully low. Take it out casually, and the repairman will sell some of it back. However, Huawei still despises these small money and simply disdains to do it. What Huawei wants is to sell new mobile phones and maximize profits. Even some unpopular trade-in mobile phones, Huawei is even willing to post Q on the recycling platform to balance everyone's interests!

From the consumer's point of view, the official trade-in is basically very reliable, at least more reliable than many recycling websites, and the online quotation is much worse than the actual quotation, commonly known as the hand knife, so it is better to trade on the second-hand platform, so I want to save effort and sell a good price, so the trade-in is still very real.

I can answer this question:

The first main use of mobile phones recycled by Huawei mobile phones is useless, that is to say, manufacturers do not value the value of this recycled mobile phone, but only give a reason to reduce the price of products. In order to avoid naked price cuts and affect the product image.

The second use is said by other friends, and the performance can still be used. It will be treated by the second-hand platform, and the rest will be treated as electronic waste by weight. This income is not worth mentioning for Huawei.
