Phone condition excellent. Not a scratch on it and works rapidly with good battery life. I've previously had the identical phone brand new and don't notice the difference between this and a brand new phone - other than the price.

Everything works fine. The first few days, the battery discharged very quickly. As I'm currently immobilised, I haven't yet been able to test the life track function to see if it's sufficient for a 4 or 5 hour bike ride.

I bought the mobile phone as a Christmas present for my son and it really hit the mark. The device is really as good as new. Both the look and the technology are flawless. The transfer of data from the old A20e (also from backmarket) worked immediately. The delivery worked really well and everything was perfect for Christmas. This was the 3rd refurbished device and so far I am completely convinced by the concept. An unreserved recommendation from me. Keep up the good work!
