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.

Easy ordering on a clear site with a wide choice. The price was right for a refurbished device, the delivery time was quicker than I expected, and the delivery service was top notch, with excellent packaging and no problems with the courier. As far as the device is concerned, it corresponds perfectly to my wife's desired use, the device is in perfect condition, the only minor problem is the battery level, but I think that all reconditioned devices have the same problem. I would recommend Backmarket to anyone.

Just a point of clarification about the DHL courier who says he came to the house without success. In fact, they never came! In conclusion, the parcel was dropped off at the nearest relay point, i.e. 15 km from my home. I don't know if you have any say in the choice of carrier, but this is not their first time. I wish you a good day anyway and keep your humour. I'm not disappointed with the products I've ordered from you!
