    Pretty good phone overall. Had it for a few days, and it’s good. The camera is good, the performance is good, but the only thing I have a gripe with is the battery capacity and I’m aware that that’s a con when buying used phones.

    This phone is really great. I have never bought a pre-owned phone before but the worker I talked with assured me that everything is checked over before hand to make sure it's all in good condition. He was definitely right! Everything is like new, and I love the camera quality and long battery life, which were some of my biggest factors in choosing a phone. The mini size is also great for me because I don't like big phones. No complaints here.

    I had to go to the store to order my pre-owned iPhone after a few attempts to order it online. Amazon is a lot easier to deal with. The iPhone looks good, but the letter “p” needs a few clicks before being accepted. The battery life was 69%. I thought it would be at least 80% considering the price.

    Works well but these newer phones want to do too much for us and some of the features can not be overridden. Do not like the camera permanently on lower right where I always touch it pulling the phone out of my pocket. Want to answer a call and I am looking at the activated camera app. Other features are fine, sound, camera quality. I am a small person and purchased this one to fit in my smaller pockets, it does without always falling out
