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 :)

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.

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.

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

Device works well, and whilst only rated "Good" has very limited signs of wear. Very easy set up ... great to have a phone with a removal back cover. Will consider investing in a second battery.

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.
