I bought a refurbished Galaxy S21 FE 5G and I’m really happy with it. The phone works perfectly, runs super smoothly, and looks almost brand new. I love it so much—great quality and great value for the price.

I purchased this for my grandson who is 10 yrs old. It is his first phone and i know he will be over the moon with it. The colour wasn't exactly the choice he would have wanted, but I have purchased a phone case in red, which is his favourite colour. Although the condition of the phone is described as fair (having either some scratches or signs of wear) i could only see a very tiny scratch on the screen and once i had put a screen protector on, it was hardly noticeable, the phone appeared brand new. As the phone is to be given as a present and it didn't come with a box, I managed to purchase one from ebay and I know my grandson will think he has a brand new phone. Very delighted with my purchase.

Great experience ordering from Back Market - the first time using this site but I will definitely be back! I've been hanging onto a 2015 handset, not wanting to contribute yet more electronic waste to the world so a refurbished handset was just what I was after. The website is easy to navigate, filter and find what you want. The device arrived quickly, described as 'good' condition but there's not a mark on it. Highly recommended!

Arrived super fast! I'm so glad I found this website. I didn't want to spend a fortune on a new phone for my husband. He needed a good phone, good camera and lots of space for work. You wouldn't think it's refurbished. It's literally brand new! This phone is perfect for him!! It's been 3 weeks now and he loves it. My next phone will definitely be from this site 😃
