I bought this for my husband for a Birthday present, and he is really struggling with the time it takes to recharge the battery. At present it is taking 16-17 hours to get a full charge.

Phone arrived promptly and in beautiful condition. Transferring my data was a little more complicated and I will have to pick a few technology savvy brains to complete the process. However, I thoroughly recommend Back Market as indeed it was recommended to me.

It's good, happy with it, my only initial problem was it kept losing WFI , I cured that by reinstalling using WPS.

Very good smartphone: I was looking for a phone for my teenage son, and in the end he got my old model! I'm very happily surprised by the quality of this Nokia 3: tactile response, speed, ergonomics, photos... and of course I'm just as pleased as ever with the choice and speed of the BackMarket service. See you next time for a new laptop/tablet/telephone: we'll see, but it'll probably be on BackMarket ;)

Great condition, no scratches. It's a shame about the pink piping around the phone, I was expecting it to be all white but that's no big deal. I'm also sorry that there isn't the possibility of putting 2 sim cards in it as I often travel abroad and I would have liked 2 slots. I didn't read or see this or it wasn't specified in the description. these are 2 small details but I'm happy with the phone and the Nokia 3 in general. It's my 1st (the 1st broke when I fell to take a photo) but I love this brand and the phone is reliable. As for the one I ordered, I'm happy with it so far! it remains to be seen whether it will last several years now.

I bought this phone as a birthday present for my mum. And she's very happy with it. OK, it's a bit slow, but that's no big deal, but it works really well, it's beautiful and it has good photo quality. It's easy to hold. Really great Nokia 3! Delivered with cable + adapter + earphones and super well packaged. I'm really pleased with the service and the quality of the product. Thank you Team Backmarket. I recommend this phone widely!

I have nothing to say. I received the phone on time, in perfect condition and as for the quality of the product, it's what I expected. Complaints about battery life are not really true, it all depends on how you use it.
