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 am not satisfied, the sound is too low even with the volume at max. Is it possible to return it to you? I would take the opportunity to change models if possible because I realize that the Android version is not recent enough for my use.

The device itself looks OK - although I haven't looked at everything yet. But first of all I didn't like the fact that I was sent a clearly faulty cable that could damage the device. And I don't appreciate that they say you can help us when no help is available to recover the data from the old phone. You had to declare this at the time of purchase. Not when it was too late.
