I honestly didn't expect this..
This was my first purchase from back market and I was quite reluctant, without much of an expectation. I went ahead and picked a supposedly 'perfect' s20 fe that was priced very low, in hopes that I'd get an at least decent used phone..
What I actually got -after just three days- was beyond my wildest guess: A sparkling s20 fe, without a SINGLE sign of external wear or use, sealed and packaged like brand new and seemingly working like an absolute charm. I was speechless! Further IMEI inspection showed that it's a recently manufactured unit and there was no evidence of non original parts. Too good to be true?
Well, I've been using it daily and HARD for the past two weeks. I ran every major benchmark and stress test, took thousands of pics/vids, played heavy games, tested all sensors and connectivity aspects, checked read/write speeds and it just keeps performing FLAWLESSLY. No battery or screen issues, no overheating, no crashes and android 13 runs sooo smooth.
'Perfect' indeed..
I don't know what the future holds and weather back market will honor its guarantee should a hardware issue arise, but judging from where I stand, I got the chance to buy an essentially new flagship grade phone for the price of the cheapest new midranger.
If this isn't the purpose of the whole 'refurbished trend', then I don't know what is..;)
