It arrived as estimated and the packaging was minimal with the phone simply being in a box with bubblewrap, with a charger, and instructions. Looking at it, it is in fact flawless all around the sides, back, and screen. The only thing that places it in the good category is the camera area, it’s a bit dirty and has visible scratches with tiny chips, but the camera works perfectly fine. Other than appearance the performance of the phone is great. Everything is running smoothly so far on the first day and the battery health is at 90% which is great. Immediate yes.
It’s been 3 weeks now and I believe it’s time for the update. It’s been perfect. I have not noticed any sudden damages or sudden glitches and inconsistencies. It works like a brand new phone. Everything feels new. Will I be purchasing from backmarket again, yes. 100%. The battery life on this phone is very good, lasts me entirely all day and I put it to charge at night at 20%. Absolutely in love. I will admit I was scared of being that small percentage of people who get a terrible phone but I didn’t and I’m very happy. I’ve checked the battery life and it has gone down to 89%, I’m not sure what it could be due to, likely from me allowing it to charge to 100% and more recently down to 10% but regardless I haven’t noticed any change in the battery life so if that’s important for you then there’s that.
