I bought a Sony Xperia 10 iii from BackMarket, refurbished in good condition, for a very good price! I was after a new phone (well, refurbished!) I spent days looking at all the Sony Xperia phone's available, until I decided on the Sony Xperia 10 iii. I was/am extremely happy with the phone I received! The condition was described as Good. But honestly, when I took it out of the very well packaged box, it looked Brand new!! I knew it only comes with a charging cable, so as soon as I bought my phone I bought an Official Sony wall Charging plug, just to make sure the phone is recieving the correct voltage when charging. I am very impressed with the phone! I have had a couple of old Sony Ericsson phones, years ago, and they were my favourite phones I've had. So glad I decided to go back to Sony, after having Samsung phones I didn't really like. The build quality is second to none. The phone looks incredible. The screen is slightly narrow with a 21:9 aspect ratio. Apparently a lot of people don't like it, but it is perfect for YouTube, or watching film's. I only have one little gripe with the phone! The volume isn't all that loud, through the phone itself or the use of headphones or ear...

Saved myself £160-180ish on my new phone! That was on top of factoring in a seasonal sale. According to accubattery app the battery health is at about 96%! The phone housing was in mint condition. The screen did have two tiny scratches which I could only see when meticulously inspecting the phone on its arrival using a bright spot lamp while holding the phone at an angle. In reality they are not visible under any normal lighting conditions and never visible when the screen is on regardless of viewing distance or angle. I highly recommend buying refurbished if this is the quality you get, the money you save can go into insurance or simply your pocket. As a side note I highly recommend the official Sony "style cover" as the phone feels like it was designed around it.

Honestly amazed. I was a bit nervous and thought I'd never buy something like a phone second hand but I read the other reviews and took the leap and honestly I'm so happy with my new (to me) phone! Was rated good but barely any noticeable marks. I can get that new phone feeling without spending a fortune. We should all move away from the consumerism and buy refurbished! Will definitely come back when I'm ready for another change.

Firstly the delivery was outstanding. Ordered on a Friday afternoon and arrived at 8.30am the next day. Well packed as well. The phone itself had slight marking on case as explained but when put into a wallet you would never know it was refurbished. An excellent choice.

Wow wow I was really nervous about buying a reconditioned phone in case it was a rip off Well how wrong was I 🤣 Amazing service,super quick delivery and OMG it looks brand new not a scratch or mark on the phone. I'll definitely be buying from Backmarket again I've already been telling and showing my family and friends the phone and none of them can believe it's reconditioned

I bought a Sony Xperia 10 IV, in reasonable condition. Very happy with it indeed. It's in much better condition than I thought it might be, and the phone works so much better than my old one! Great to have a battery life that lasts more than a day!

It got off to a lacklustre start, with agonizingly languid start up, and mostly vacant firmware. There is also a tiny glass adhesion imperfection upper on the main screen which I had to fix. I am now otherwise pretty happy with my Xperia 1 III Violet, It started to do just about everything I want with none of the foibles and overheating probs of my original 4G Xperia 1. I will always miss some things that did though, otherwise Sony has come up with a classy product here.

Honestly I was about dubious about getting refurbished phone worried about battery and charging port and camera unit. I can confirm that this was scratch free the phone was brought in "good" condition and it is amazing so pleased has put me well at ease and will be using backmarket again. Thank you well impressed.

I got a smartphone and it was almost everything I wanted. Had I known the product was originally from the Asian market I wouldn't have bought it. The regional apps it tries to install are not secure. I will be aware of this in future. Aside from that the phone was described in excellent condition and it certainly was.

chose the top level and it came in pristine condition. phone itself is brilliant although the camera is to complicated for me although I don't take a lot of photos it is good but takes me to long to set it up. for music which is why I bought it, the sound is great and memoryb is expandable if you know who to download your landed. the headphone jack is great option to have. battery is brilliant for a second hand set. I easily get a day and a half at normal use such as listening tomusic and social media scrolling etc. I came from the original Xperia 1 the larger version which was working well still just the battery was starting to drain fast. the 5iii is a nicer size in the pocket, it's faster and probably a better camera which is wasted on me. in 2024 this phone is still top notch would highly recommend it way better than an iPhone the built quality as usual from Sony is solid you know you have a quality product in your hand
