Very happy with the phone (Samsung Galaxy A3 2017). Arrived in 4 days. Almost perfect condition with only a couple of tiny scratches around the frame. The screen is perfect with absolutely no marks at all. Battery life seems good so far. I am very pleased with my purchase from Back Market and the seller Alloccaz.

In very good condition as stated. This is my second refurbished Samsung A3 and I am very pleased with it. Compact, it is particularly solid and even waterproof and dustproof.

The device is as described. With the case on, you can't see the few marks on the phone and the screen is perfect. It works very well and is perfect for the way I use it. The only downside is that the camera isn't as good as the S10 I had before.

I had been having trouble with my phone A3 2016 as the battery was barely lasting a day. The idea was to get one of similar size but they all seem too large and cost too much. I came across back market which gave plenty of choice of refurbished phones and also differing conditions. I was able to buy a slightly better model (A3 2017) as a replacement in excellent condition for a very fair price. It came fairly swiftly in a plain package with wire and charger. There is a 12 month warranty and a 30 day return policy which gives me confidence in this company. I have been very happy with my purchase and know that there are experts on hand should I need help. A cover for the back and front of the phone is worth getting asap which I have done.

Hi ! Very happy with a quick and good deal. The mobile works well. But keyboard language is not for Sweden , only English and German letters. Tried to update and download Swedish but can not. It is something you should think about / inform about. Regards Ingwar Nilsson

The appliance appears to be in perfect condition. There was a problem with the delivery which had to be reprogrammed. It's a shame that a Samsung French keyboard isn't available, I had to download a Google version.
