Almost no signs of wear. The body may have very light micro-scratches. For items with screens, the screen will have no scratches.

Hello, this is the second smartphone I've bought from Back Market, this one is for my wife, and frankly it's a real pleasure, the price, the speed of delivery and above all the quality of the reconditioning, you really wonder when you open the pack if there isn't a mistake and you've actually got a brand new smartphone in your hands, excellent work, to be recommended,

The ordering process was very simple and the mobile phone arrived after a few days. The language was Spanish, but I was able to change it to German using Google Translate. All in all, a great way to get a good, affordable mobile phone.

First phone for my 12 year old son: it's exactly what we expected! the phone is clean and well cared for; it works correctly; for the moment the battery works well, but its life remains to be seen with time.... in any case we're very satisfied with the purchase and above all with the value for money. Well done guys ;-)

Older model that suits me perfectly but impossible to change the keyboard to azerty. It's a Spanish phone with a UK language. I'll have to adapt. The device was delivered on time, well packaged and in perfect condition. Thank you for this. Sincerely

Hello, this is my third purchase from you. I had no problems with the first two. However, this latest purchase was not the same. There's still an Italian program in my memory that I can't delete (Start - red arrow symbol on white background). Another problem, which is more annoying, is that I can't connect to certain sites, sometimes displaying the message: "Your connection is not private" or "This site is inaccessible". For others, everything works fine... As I'm not a mobile phone addict in my daily life, I'm going to use it for my calls and texts, but overall I'm disappointed.
