Verified purchaseFrom the back market a while ago, I bought an iPhone XR grade B. It was in very good condition, so I decided to buy an Xperia 1 III. I bought a C grade and it was in very good condition. There were some scratches on the LCD screen and sides, but with the glass film and case, it doesn't bother me at all. I was worried about the screen burning out, which is the biggest concern with Android phones, but I am glad that it did not burn out at all. I was also happy to receive the charging cable this time as well. I ordered at the end of 2024 and received an email saying delivery would be the following year, but in fact it arrived just before the end of 2024. I was very impressed and grateful. Following the iPhone XR, it was a good purchase. Thank you very much. Sorry for the late review.

Verified purchaseThe fact that it was a three-year-old high-end used and well-maintained car was a deciding factor in my decision to buy it. I bought an A grade from a seller with a good reputation. There was only one shallow round crack of less than 1 mm, very slightly near the centre of the screen, but it was almost unnoticeable if it was covered. I thought it would be tough to get an A grade as the exterior paint was easy to peel off, but it was as clean as new, just by cleaning the grooves around the camera. I was very happy about this. However, I could not clean up to the grooves of the assist button because I did not have the right tools and gave up. I was able to clean it later with a special cotton swab. The paint is smooth, so a cover is essential for this phone. The battery is a 4500 model when it is new, but when I looked at it in the app, they all showed 4380 in the settings. It may have been a replacement. However, the memory is a model that heats up to 40°C to 60°C in heavy online games that consume more than 2 GB of memory, so I think it would be good if it lasts two years. I used it for two hours continuously, but the performance did not drop and it was stable. In other cases, the t...

Verified purchaseI bought a B-rated product to replace my previous Xperia 1. I live in Tokyo, but I ordered it in the morning and it arrived the next day, which was very helpful. There were almost no scratches on the exterior and the screen had only millimetre-thin scratches that would be completely invisible if a protective sheet was put on. I am satisfied that I was able to buy it for this price without having to go to Akihabara. If anyone is considering buying one, please use this code! 6232fe739d2202a5

Verified purchaseExceeds expectations. Being rank c, I had considered it to be in a certain condition, but there were only three small dents on the frame. I was expecting a c-rank, but there were only three small dents on the frame. Even if you put aside the fact that it is a ReFb, it is a better choice than buying a second-hand one from a flea market or carrier in that area.

Verified purchaseThe specs run quite crisply even with heavy games. The charge life is not bad, but the phone still gets hot when playing heavy games and the charge seems to run down a little faster. However, with specs like these for just under 40,000, it was a good enough buy.

Verified purchaseThe B-rated one I was going to buy was gone, so I decided to buy an A-rated one if the price would not change. The LCD surface is very good with no scratches. I can buy a good product at a lower price than at those flea markets! Shipping was also very fast. I am personally very satisfied.

Verified purchaseBeing a C grade, I was prepared for some cracks in the screen, but was surprised when I saw what I received. It was a beautiful product with only a few small scratches that I could barely notice when I looked at it carefully. I think some second-hand phone shops would sell this as an A grade. I didn't expect to find such a beautiful 5-III at this price. I am glad I found Backmarket. Thank you very much!
