On'Off button is stuck. Only works if you use a pin. Condition far from "excellent" as rated. This is the second device that arrives in poor condition.

far too many applications that don't work: waze, discord, blablacar daily to name but a few. and i had to go back several times to install the latest update. i'm disappointed when my previous phone (same make, same model) gave me satisfaction. As for the rest, nothing to complain about. The condition of the phone is as advertised.

I am very happy with my purchase - the product is almost as good as new and the delivery time is adequate and on time! The little plus is the customer service: Kept informed of the progress of the order and delivery and with a nice touch of humour... Thank you BackMarket.
