Never used this company before, so I was a bit wary. Shouldn't have worried though, the item was delivered on the expected date and the quality of the phone was brilliant. I will definitely be using them again.

Excellent product I was surprised to see not a mark or blemish on the phone. I would certainly recommend Backmark for a quality product. Kind Regards Dave

My phone arrived very quickly after ordering. Problem is charging cable does not fit the phone. I do not have any other to use.

Does everything as required. However, the fingerprint scanner is a bit unreliable- so a bit disappointed with that. Otherwise, great purchase!

Really pleased with the condition of the phone. I couldn't tell it had been used before (I chose 'excellent' condition). It would've been helpful to be sent the tool needed to put the sim card and sd card in!
