The condition is said to be "very good". But the Nokia 5.1. looks like new. Couldn't detect a single scratch or damage. So I am thickly satisfied. The order was shipped on the first working day after the order day. Completely as agreed. Wim van Staverden

I made the mistake of using this phone far too late to realise that it had the defect of discharging far too quickly, with a battery level that dropped very quickly by 30 as soon as I used it for a photo, for example. This meant that I had to recharge it 2 or 3 times a day, and yet it was a Nokia, admittedly not too expensive to buy second-hand.
