Some modern app are not compatible due to Android version. The only downside is the battery capacity as phones in the A5 era had weaker specs compared to now. Regardless, it serves as a great work phone.

It is important for the phone to be unlock and ready to receive a sim and be able to get internet without having to go to a phone shop to adjust it. Before the phone can be used.

Received the phone quite quickly. I set it up no problem. Would definitely order again from Back Market. Most helpful.

When I opened the package, I found a black phone. However, I had clearly ordered a gold-colored phone. What do you propose as compensation?

Extremely disappointed... I ordered a Galaxy A5 and received a Galaxy A3. No email notifying me of the change of reference. And a change of reference to a lower class. It's scandalous.....even the delivery note in the parcel specifies Galaxy A5... Today I can't find an equivalent to the Galaxy A5 for under £80 on Back Market and I can't return it because the delivery times are too long and I need a phone urgently... I just feel like I've been ripped off and robbed on a misleading sale. I hope to be contacted very soon by Back Market to find a quick solution.
