works fine but battery drains fast

Phone arrived in decent shape and the screen looks good. Main issue is the battery seems to drop faster than I'd expect — they listed it at 87% health but it barely gets me through a full day. Still functional, just not what I hoped for at this price point.

works fine, but battery drains fast

Phone arrived in excellent condition like they said, screen is pristine. Only issue is the battery doesn't hold a charge as long as I expected — I'm getting maybe 60% of a full day with moderate use. Not a dealbreaker since it still powers through, just not ideal if you're away from a charger.

fair condition but it works

knew I was getting a fair condition unit and that's what I got — visible marks on the body, some scuffs on the edges. The screen's intact though and that's what matters most to me. Phone runs fine, no lag, battery life is decent. Yeah it looks used but at this price versus new, I can't complain. Does the job.

it's okay, nothing special

Bought this as my first refurbished phone and was nervous about it. Device works and hasn't died on me, which is good. Battery life is okay but not great — sometimes lasts a full day, sometimes doesn't depending on what I'm doing. Camera is fine for basic stuff. Not bad for the price, but I'm not blown away either. Expected slightly better performance honestly.

dead on arrival, very disappointed

Received the phone and it wouldn't turn on at all. Tried charging for hours, nothing. Had to contact support and go through the warranty process which took forever. For the price I paid, I expected better quality control from the 32-point inspection they advertise.

exactly what I needed

Was hesitant about buying pre-owned but the listing was detailed and accurate. Phone showed up in the condition described, no surprises. Camera does the job, battery gets me through a full day, and the build quality feels solid in hand. The warranty gives me confidence I made the right choice. Would order from these guys again.

solid phone at a solid price

Pretty happy with this purchase. The inspection must've been thorough because I can barely see any wear on it. Battery's at a good level, performance is snappy enough for everyday use, and the 128GB storage is plenty. Got it in two days and it came well packaged. No real complaints here.

solid phone, solid deal

Picked this up as a backup device and honestly it's doing the job. Screen looks great, no dead pixels or anything weird. The phone feels responsive and I haven't had any hiccups so far. Shipping was fast too — got it within the promised 24 hours. Not flashy but it gets the job done and the price-to-performance ratio makes sense.

decent enough, some surface marks

The A42 does what it's supposed to do. has a few scratches on the back and sides that match the 'fair' condition description, so no surprises there. Camera works, battery holds up okay, and it was way cheaper than buying new. Honestly just needed something reliable and this fits the bill.

no complaints here

This thing just works. Came in excellent condition, battery percentage was exactly what was listed, and everything checked out. The 32-point inspection apparently wasn't just marketing — the phone really does look untouched. Definitely beats buying new at full price and the year-long warranty makes it worth the peace of mind.
