Some modern app are not compatible due to Android version. The only downside is the battery capacity as phones in the A5 era had weaker specs compared to now. Regardless, it serves as a great work phone.

Easy ordering on a clear site with a wide choice. The price was right for a refurbished device, the delivery time was quicker than I expected, and the delivery service was top notch, with excellent packaging and no problems with the courier. As far as the device is concerned, it corresponds perfectly to my wife's desired use, the device is in perfect condition, the only minor problem is the battery level, but I think that all reconditioned devices have the same problem. I would recommend Backmarket to anyone.

Just a point of clarification about the DHL courier who says he came to the house without success. In fact, they never came! In conclusion, the parcel was dropped off at the nearest relay point, i.e. 15 km from my home. I don't know if you have any say in the choice of carrier, but this is not their first time. I wish you a good day anyway and keep your humour. I'm not disappointed with the products I've ordered from you!

Hello, I received my smartphone quickly and very well packaged: Samsung A3 2015 in good condition. I'm happy with my purchase except that I got the wrong version and should have taken the 2017 to replace mine (black screen). So I don't have all the functions but that's my fault ;-) It works without a hitch, of course the battery isn't as good, so don't forget the umbilical cord when you're out and about... I'm very happy with the service and feel confident. I'll see you in a while to buy the right version. :-) Thank you

Extremely disappointed... I ordered a Galaxy A5 and received a Galaxy A3. No email notifying me of the change of reference. And a change of reference to a lower class. It's scandalous.....even the delivery note in the parcel specifies Galaxy A5... Today I can't find an equivalent to the Galaxy A5 for under £80 on Back Market and I can't return it because the delivery times are too long and I need a phone urgently... I just feel like I've been ripped off and robbed on a misleading sale. I hope to be contacted very soon by Back Market to find a quick solution.

It's fine, but it's very old, it's very slow on the Internet and it doesn't support current applications, even government or work applications. Too absolute. I won't be taking such an old model any more, it shouldn't even be sold any more because there are no more updates.
