The back of the phone was a little scratched but the price was way too good to bummed out by some minor scratches! Feels good to save a ton of money (instead of dropping hundreds on a new phone), and to give another life to this refurbished phone! There's at least another 2 years left of this phone! Electro Wireless is an excellent seller!

Awesome phone!! I purchased the Fair quality and it was even better than the quality demonstration on the website made it seem. It works amazing, the storage is awesome, and I have no complaints! Honestly best phone purchase I've ever made.

Gap between screen and body of phone (completely exposing the area between the screen and the phone to the elements). Play store crashed twice within 5 minutes. Bad start with BackMarket. I'll order one more phone from a different seller, if it is also defective, I'll call it a day with BackMarket.

The Essential PH-1 is a flagship-level smartphone that was launched in 2017. It features a sleek design and was one of the first devices to emphasize a near bezel-less display. Although it is now a few years old, it still offers solid performance for everyday use, especially for those who prefer a clean Android experience and a minimalist design.

Key features:

Display size: 5.7-inch IPS LCD with a 1312 x 2560 resolution
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835
Camera: Dual 13MP rear cameras with dual-LED flash
Operating System: Ships with Android 7.1 Nougat, upgradable to Android 10
Storage capacity: 128GB internal storage (non-expandable)

Who is this for?

The Essential PH-1 is suitable for users who value a compact device with a clean Android interface, or for those seeking a secondary phone. It’s also a good option for eco-conscious buyers interested in a pre-owned device that still performs reliably for basic tasks.

Pros & Cons: Pros Cons Minimalist design with a near bezel-less display. Limited software updates since it’s an older model. Good performance for basic tasks thanks to Snapdragon 835. No expandable storage. Clean Android interface with minimal bloatware. Older hardware may struggle with demanding apps or multitasking. Why refurbished?

Opting for a refurbished Essential PH-1 allows you to enjoy a premium design and decent performance at a more accessible price point. Devices from Back Market undergo rigorous testing to meet quality standards. Learn more about our quality standards.
