Customer reviews
works fine but battery drains fast
The phone itself is solid — good build quality, display looks nice, and it's snappy enough for daily use. My main issue is the battery. The listing said 85% health but it barely lasts a full day with moderate use. I'm used to phones getting 2+ days. Otherwise no complaints, but this battery situation is frustrating.
dead battery, won't turn on
Received the phone and it won't power on at all. Battery was completely dead and won't hold a charge even after leaving it plugged in overnight. Tried the factory reset procedure from the manual but nothing worked. Pretty disappointed since the listing didn't mention this issue.
works fine despite the marks
Bought this knowing it was in fair condition and honestly, I'm not mad about it. The 256GB gives me plenty of space, performance is snappy, and yeah there's some visible wear on the back but nothing that bothers me. Cheaper than buying new and the warranty gives me peace of mind.
no complaints so far
picked this up last month as my first pre-owned phone purchase and it's been great. The 64GB model handles everything I need. Build feels sturdy, the display is bright and crisp, and the battery gets me through a full day easily. came in excellent condition with barely a mark on it. Can't fault the 1-year warranty either.
practically looks brand new
This 64GB in excellent condition arrived and I had to double-check the listing because it genuinely looks like it came out of the box. No marks, screen is pristine, and it fires up instantly. Battery health is solid at 92%. I've been running it for two weeks without a hiccup. Feels weird paying this little for something that looks this good.
great deal on a fair-condition unit
Honestly wasn't sure about buying pre-owned but this changed my mind. Yeah, there are some visible scratches on the back and a small ding on the corner — it's fair condition after all — but the phone works perfectly. Battery holds strong, 256GB is plenty, and the warranty gives me peace of mind. Arrived within 24 hours too. Best value phone I've bought in years.
exceeded my expectations completely
Was hesitant about buying a used phone but BestMobileCanada's inspection process clearly works. This 256GB in excellent condition arrived in two days and it's immaculate — feels brand new. Performance is snappy, the 6.5" screen is gorgeous, battery health sits at 94%, and the camera quality is sharp. The warranty sealed the deal for me. This thing will easily last another 2-3 years based on how solid it feels.
does the job, but battery concerns
The phone itself is solid — 256GB model, good condition, everything runs smooth. My issue is the battery seems to drain faster than I expected for a pre-owned device supposedly in good shape. Maybe it's just me, but I was hoping for a bit more longevity there. Still works, just not thrilled.
solid phone for the price
Been using this for three weeks now and honestly it's been reliable. Screen is clear, camera does the job, and it handles everything I throw at it. The 128GB gives me plenty of space. Got it in 'good' condition and there's barely any visible wear. For what I paid versus buying new, this was the right choice.
excellent condition, great value
Wasn't sure about buying pre-owned but this 128GB model came in excellent condition and honestly I'd never have known it wasn't brand new. Screen is clean, no scratches I can see, and it came with the charger. Battery health is solid at 87%. Compared to what a new one costs, this was a no-brainer. No complaints here.
