Sony Xperia 1 V 256GB - Green - Unlocked

Ordered on Wednesday evening, the package arrived on Friday morning from Germany to Dublin! Although the phone was rated as 'very good', I would swear it was brand new - it was that well serviced! I waited a week or so to get used to the phone before leaving a review but I have had no issues with it, especially the battery life which lasts easily into a second day - great service all round!

Hello, the Sony Xperia 1 5 consumes much less energy and heats up much less than its A3 predecessor. I'm pleased with its performance, which has been much improved.

Arrived in excellent condition as promised, looks like a Japanese import model that has hardly been used (virtually no marks or scratches to be seen but some Japanese apps installed). You warned me the device may not work with the Three network (which I'm on) but I took a gamble and it seems absolutely fine with my SIM card. Waiting for a case to arrive and not tested the camera yet but I have transferred most apps from my old phone. Spotify and the all-important headphone socket work perfectly! Screen quality is great. This is a key part of getting my life back on track after my old Sony was smashed up in a road accident when a careless van driver knocked me off my bike, landing me in hospital!

I am a long time Sony fan and very much wanted an Xperia 1 V because it is the last of the line to be made with gorilla glass. I knew I would love the phone but the one that was delivered was in much better condition than I expected and it arrived much faster than I thought. so thank you very much, Back Market.

I ordered an "Excellent condition" refurbished phone but received a phone in fair condition. There were numerous scratches on the phone body and a couple of very noticeable scratches on the screen. The phone was also a Japanese version and not compatible with the UK's 5G network though worked fine with 4G. Because the phone was not in Excellent Condition as expected I sent the phone back for a full refund and ordered another phone in "Good condition" from one of BackMarket's competitors that arrived in much better condition than the supposedly "Excellent condition" phone from BackMarket and was also a UK phone. At least there were no problems returning the phone for a refund but I will not be using BackMarket again.

The phone is PERFECT! Not a single mark or scratch or anything on the casing, battery power is great and screen immaculate as described. Considering it's "good" condition I'm really really happy! And have already recommended to multiple people!

Everything fitted and was as expected! However, the price was a bit above average for a used device. You could certainly have got it cheaper... But I've had bad experiences there, so I played it safe and bought it from BackMarket. I would do the same with my next mobile phone, I don't always need the latest top model. Best regards
