It is awesome, definitely a better change from a Foxx phone I was using. It came as I wanted it and the battery life is so great.

Very well, thank you. I had a little trouble transferring my Hotmail emails to my new phone but Verizon helped me with that, saying I had an outdated outlook app. Thank you so much though, I really love my new phone. Thank you that it was adorable.

The set up instructions provided by Back Market were not useful. Advise phone recipients to download and use any one of the numerous free data transfer and set-up apps instead of trying to follow the instructions provided by Back Market. Otherwise, phone seems to be in excellent working order, battery is holding a charge as it should, USB-C port feels secure and unworn, and the phone looks flawless. It was also helpful (perhaps this is normal in 2025) to receive a charge cord with two male USB-C fittings to allow data transfer by wire between old and new phones in lieu of using WIFI (much faster and much more secure). Time will tell if buying refurbished was a good choice or not, but initially everything seems excellent.

My 38-year-old son has lost every phone I ever bought him brand new. There have been many. I'm not throwing that kind of 1000 dollar money away anymore. You can get a great just as good lightly used phone for less than 180 delivered to your door in 3 days, Its a no damn brainer. Wish I knew of Back Market sooner. I have been paying 160 a month for Verizon phone and plan what a rip off. Now thru visble by verizon he can pay 19 a month and already own his lightly used phone . One and done. No more pissing away money is my New Years Resolution Join me.... put your money to better use. 2nd hand phones are the movement to make to spend less.

This phone was a gift for my son. He said it was easy to set up and is in great condition. He's just getting used to all the settings and things that were different than his previous much older phone.

I am so impressed with Back Market. this is the fifth phone that I have purchased for other people. I have never been disappointed. even when I don't know the best phone to choose the customer service department is happy to help me. the phone that came last week looks like brand new. it is a Android Samsung a16. Great value! Great phone! Great customer service. I cannot fathom walking into a phone store and paying full price for a phone. You won't be disappointed. Order your phone and rest assured you will be delighted.

I bought this for my sister and she seems to like it. I purchased the premium phone and it was like new out of the box! Of course transitioning from 1 phone to another is always difficult but she can forge through! I refer everyone to back market when looking for electronics!!

The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G, launched in December 2023, continues the A series tradition of straightforward performance and modern features.
