I ordered a Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) 8 GB (see proof of purchase). I received a Samsung Galaxy J1 4 GB even though the delivery note says Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) 8 GB. And when the invoice is issued, it's a Samsung Galaxy J1 4 GB that magically appears on it! Moral: I had to send the phone back. What a waste of time for a situation that's not at all clear!

Absolutely delighted with purchase. Item actually in superb condition. About to return for next purchase...a tablet for my funky 88 year-old Mum. Thanks. Emma.

I bought this phone to use abroad with a local SIM. Little did I know that you can't use 3G phones anymore, it has to be 4G or 5G capable. Total waste of money. They really shouldn't be selling them.

For the moment no worries, I had the same one taken from the same place but it didn't work for a year and a half.
