fonctionnel mais avec des bémols

Le téléphone marche, mais je dois dire que j'ai trouvé plus de marques que prévu sur l'écran. Condition équitable, oui, mais j'aurais aimé un peu plus de détails dans la description. La batterie est correcte. Pour le prix c'est acceptable, mais déçu par le temps de livraison — 48 heures, pas 24.

solid mid-range phone for the price

Picked this up as a pre-owned and it's been reliable so far. Screen's got some marks but nothing that affects actual use. 5G works fine, battery easily gets me through a day. For what I paid versus buying new, can't complain.

came in better shape than expected

Was nervous about ordering pre-owned but this arrived and it's honestly nicer than the fair condition listing suggested. A couple of marks on the frame you can only see in certain light. Phone runs smooth, no lag, and the 256GB means I'm not constantly deleting stuff. Really good value compared to new.

téléphone honnête, pas de surprises

Reçu rapidement, l'appareil était bien emballé. Condition bonne comme annoncé — quelques marques mineures seulement. L'écran est clair, la caméra fait son travail. Pour un appareil préowned, c'est exactement ce qu'il faut. Garantie d'un an, c'est rassurant.

solid phone for the price point

Picked this up in fair condition and it's been doing exactly what I need. Some light scratches on the back but honestly nothing that bothers me. Battery's holding up well, 5G actually works in my area, and the screen is crisp. Paid way less than buying new and I'm not stressed about banging it up.

exactly what i needed for the price

Picked up this Nokia in good condition and it arrived within 24 hours as promised. The screen looks clean, no dead pixels, and the 128GB storage is plenty for what I use. Battery still holds a solid charge—BestMobileCanada listed it at 92% health which matches what I'm seeing. Was my first time buying pre-owned and the 32-point inspection they do clearly paid off. No dings, no surprises, just a working phone that cost half what a new one would. The 1-year warranty is the real peace of mind here.

bon téléphone malgré les marques

J'ai commandé le G42 en condition juste et honnêtement je savais à quoi m'attendre. Y'a des petites rayures sur le cadre et l'écran a quelques marques légères, mais ça change rien à la performance. Le téléphone fonctionne vraiment bien, la batterie tient la journée sans problème et le 5G c'est du vrai. J'avais peur en achetant usagé pour la première fois mais avec la garantie d'un an de BestMobileCanada j'étais tranquille. Comparé au prix d'un neuf, j'ai économisé pas mal d'argent et je regrette pas du tout.

battery died after two weeks

Listed as excellent condition but the battery was already at 78% and dropped to 45% within a week of light use. Contacted support and they said it's within warranty parameters. Feels like a stretch. The phone itself is fine but this wasn't the deal I thought I was getting.

good phone, shipping was slow

The device itself is solid — works great, battery holds up fine. Condition matches the fair listing, so no surprises there. My only real gripe is it took four days to arrive when you promise 24 hours. Otherwise happy with the purchase and the warranty coverage is decent.

does what it's supposed to do

was nervous buying refurbished but this arrived in decent shape for fair condition. screen's a bit scuffed but brightness is solid. processor handles everything i throw at it. battery was at 89% on arrival. one year warranty gave me peace of mind.
