Galaxy A5 2016, for me, in very good condition although sold in "fair condition". (just a micro-scratch on the screen, barely visible). The battery life is very good. Unbeatable price... More than satisfied. This is my 3rd purchase from Backmarket and I have never been disappointed.

Perfect, if the battery didn't discharge in 1 hour of use. This is the second one I've bought with this problem. As if only 40% of a charge was available.

It's in very good condition but doesn't have the same functions as the old one which was exactly the same model so a bit disappointed. Doesn't have the Samsung music application either and impossible to download. I'm told it's impossible for this model.
