Enhanced evaluation of pre-owned electronic devices related services are described. Example evaluation devices (e.g. kiosks etc.) and techniques for enhanced evaluation are described. An example evaluation device includes an evaluation area in which a previously-owned electronic device (e.g. smartphone etc.) is arranged with its camera configured to capture images of the evaluation area. An example apparatus includes a previously-owned electronic device arranged with its camera configured to capture images of another previously-owned electronic device within an evaluation area. Other example implementations include detecting microdefects and/or micro-differences for identifying a device; based on an evaluation of a device, providing any of a repair quote, an insurance or warranty quote, an insurance or warranty claim, a certification, or a promise to purchase; processing evaluation session attributes based on the selected context; and providing a point-of-sale integration component configured to intercept data from a coupon reader.
