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.
