Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) 16GB 5.2in 13MP SIM-Free Smartphone in Black (Renewed)

This Samsung Galaxy J5 phone was purchased as a backup, and for listening to internet music stations and sport commentary at home and in the car. The "renewed" phone arrived promptly, safely packaged in a plain cardboard box labelled "Used-Good", with a generic charger and cable. Cosmetically the phone is closer to "Very Good" condition, with just a tiny scratch on the screen not noticeable when in use. The battery was fully discharged when it arrived so first job was to allow it to charge to 100% which took approx 3 hours. I then checked all was working; this is largely intuitive for Android users but the user instruction manual is on the phone under "Settings > User Manual" if needed. The phone I received is running Android 7; the screen icons look a touch dated! Having made sure all was well with the J5 I immediately ordered a suitable phone case - I chose a Lihondar case. (I find my 20th century fingers and 21st century smartphones are not compatible, so having a case on the phone makes it much harder to drop and easier to use). I installed the following apps: TuneIn Radio, Mixcloud, BBC Sounds, The Revival Show, Internetradiouk.com, plus a few others. All work well although BBC Sounds does seem to suffer a glitch now and then. Commentary from the BBC sports website works smoothly. Battery life is perfectly OK for my needs, lasting around three days of on/off use with Bluetooth turned on. Sound quality (what we used to call "tone"!) on the phone's speaker is actually surprisingly good - more pleasant to listen to than my main phone. In summary, after several weeks' use I am very happy with this purchase. The "renewed" J5 phone does all I expected, the condition is very good and the price is reasonable.

As a refurbished phone this was excellent, not a mark on it and good value I felt. However it didn’t work out for me. as an older person I found it a little complicated and also I could not download my Lidl app on it. I think this may have been because it could have been American, not sure. However, absolutely no quibble on my return of it and money refunded quickly. Very good customer service I would say

Great my granddaughter is over the moon with it , fantastic condition. Love it

Thanks guys. Phone is working. As condition like new only charge up when drived yesterday sill going. sim card bit of pain just need pin open the slot on phone .thanks YouTube. If looking for cheap 4g phone would recommend the Galaxy j5 from this company

Not worth the money. Only has 3G enabled which is no longer accessible. Most apps are unable to be installed including simple ones like outlook as the phone does not support them. Very expensive phone for just making calls or sending texts, you can’t even send mms.

The refurbished phone looks like new, works perfectly but the battery life is abysmal. It is easy enough for an elderly, technophobic relative to use, however just reading the news (no background apps using power) takes the battery from full to fifteen percent in less than an hour. Obviously a battery check wasn't covered in the refurbishment.

Only had it a couple of days, but so far very happy. Came 80% charged, ( charger included, no ejection pin). No sign of wear at all, in fact it looks unused. Much better and speed is very fast in operation. I'm using. PAYG, as it's a second phone, happy with delivery time , next day, well packaged. Should anything change I will update, but 100% happy so far.

Excellent battery condition. Unmarked screen & case. Everything works as it should. Was getting fed up with today's phones - full of bloated everything, and far too big for my pocket. Just wanted a sub-6" phone, that wouldn't break the bank a la iphone 13 mini. At 65 pounds (as supplied by Gadget & Game Zone) this is proving to be a very good buy. Most pleased.

Verkeerde mobiel. Maar het is toch een fijn toestel ****

Au début, impeccable petit smartphone que j'utilise pour les mails, réseaux sociaux... Je l'ai depuis 7 mois il me semble, et des soucis ont apparu il y a trois mois environ. Écran noir, tactile qui beugue, fermeture des applications. En dépannage, oui, appareil fiable au quotidien sur du long terme, non.

Ho ricevuto il prodotto danneggiato non imputabile al fornitore, ma il fornitore ha provveduto alla sostituzione, del telefono acquistato, con assoluta celerità e molta professionalità e a Sue spese. Contatti e risposte quasi immediate. Sono estremamente soddisfatto. Grazie

Il était écrit excellent état mais il manque le M de SAMSUNG et une bosse figure sous l'appareil photo au dos de l'appareil juste en dessous ainsi que des traces de rayures importantes sur la coque arrière.

Il telefono è stato consegnato oggi tutto apposto grazie mille
