I was concerned that by buying a reconditioned device online I would have difficulty transferring data and apps from my old phone. However, the on-screen instructions were very clear, and I was able to set up the Galaxy A53 5G very easily. Very happy with the specs and performance of the A53. Thank you, Black Market.

The condition of the phone i ordered was Good,but when I received the phone I noticed visible scratches and it seemed like the condition of the phone was Fair. I reported to Backmarket and they arranged for a new phone to be sent . I was also sent a return label to the send back the previous phone when I receive the new one. The new one arrived and it matched my expectations. The process was smooth , easy and seamless.

Absolutely love the phone, the service ,everything. My first refurbished phone and I can't fault it. I love I'm having preloved phone that had been fully tested and even at 'fair condition' it's in a great shape (couple cosmetics not affecting the use, I can certainly live with i). I'm in no rush to go back to contracted phone. Thank you I would recommend it o anyone looking for environment and pocket friendly alternatives.
