I bought this phone as I needed more storage as was having problems with my old one. Just the right size, easy to use and no problems. Reasonably priced and love having a refurbished phone that is not going to waste.

I wanted a refurbished phone for an affordable price for my son, and I am really pleased. There are little scratches but that is to be expected with a phone that is of 'fair quality', the actual device works really well and my son is delighted with it! I'm considering buying a refurbished phone for myself now :)

Absolutely brilliant, delivered next day I was surprised. Perfect condition, I would say it was more than fair it was excellent. I always use Back Market. I totally love what your doing. I recommend Back Market to every one. It's not for everyone as it is not new. We have been shopping here since 2022. Never a complaint yet.

Purchased a reconditioned Galaxy Xcover 5 which are tougher phones. Arrived on time in good packaging, worked immediately and was in very good condition. Surpassed my expectations, thank you.

All I needed to do with this phone was chuck a SIM in it and upgrade it to Android 14. It arrived fast, was in great condition and does everything I hoped it would. I wish I'd found it 4 years ago - it's that good.

It arrived exactly as planned, and in the condition as described, i.e. excellent, I am very pleased. The only problem was, with me being an eighty year old non "tech savvy" I found it bit daunting to get it set up because of the lack of an instructions manual, but I suppose it would be the same if I had bought a new phone, all information, seems to be online nowadays. However, with a bit of help from younger generation, I have cracked it and now have it set up to my requirements, maybe not to it's full poteential, but I reckon I will improve a bit at a time

I have used back market before and been very pleased, the Phone was in good condition and arrived very quickly. I just had to work out how to reset the primary language from Korean but once that was sorted all good.
