Refurbished Galaxy A8, described as Good condition arrived at the early end of the delivery window in excellent condition. Very impressed with the phone specifications at a very reasonable price. Tracking emails at each stage of the delivery journey were reassuring. Phone arrived with power cable and SIM tray unlocking tool as advertised, but no setup link or instructions which was puzzling until I found the manufacturer's SIM setup instructions for this model online. Perhaps a similar link or basic setup instructions would be helpful in future, for those unfamiliar with this type of SIM tray. Otherwise, very pleased. Phone was easy to setup following the onscreen steps after a power charge and restart.

Galaxy A8 (2018) 32GB black: When making a phone call, the sound of person speaking from the other side is EXTREMELY SOFT!! (Though my hearing is excellent, I would set it on the highest sound, but Still the sound is EXTREMELY SOFT!! I do not like to use the loudspeaker for everyone else to hear my conversation. Otherwise a lovely phone.

I offered this mobile phone as a gift. I was a bit afraid to buy second-hand but I was extremely pleased: it's in really perfect condition, not a scratch, no battery problems. What's more, delivery was fast. And what can I say about the fact that Backmarket comes to check if everything is OK. In short, I'm delighted and would recommend this site.

It arrived very quickly and the product was in the very good condition indicated. In principle it seems to work well although we will have to test the state of the battery and connectivity. So far very satisfied with the purchase.
