    Slightly Better Battery than a 5+ Year Old Phone

    The product works well, my only complaint is that the battery life is a disappointment. It is drained pretty quickly. Next time I’ll spend on the new phone, since this wasn’t any kind of upgrade except in storage space.

    Battery on the phone doesn’t last long but as expected for a used phone. As of today, 6 days past the last return date, the phone stopped charging completely.

    Phone is excellent condition, battery is stating it is severly degraded and in need of service . This results in the phone holding a charge for about two to three hours

    I just now got a chance to open the package after my father passing away and my son in the hospital and I was going to return but apparently they only give you 2 weeks instead of 30 days to return. I wanted to return because no where in the description did it say that it was a mini iPhone!! This is smaller than my current iPhone 6S!! This is unacceptable! Now I’m out $250.00. I will NEVER do business with again.

    I purchase this phone January 12th had problems transferring contacts/photos after 2 weeks of frustration, I manually entered my contacts and only a couple of pictures transferred over. 2/16 Now trying to take a picture, I couldn't it shook to bad. Took to best buy to see if they could fix, They state" it needs a new camera part and that i dont have a maintenance agreement, that it would it be $100.00 per hour plus parts to fix camera on a phone i have had for 30 days. THE WORST PHONE EVER

    This refurbished phone never did really work. It would lose service constantly. Shut off even when fully charged. Very disappointed from bestbuy. Had to purchase a new phone for my son. Bestbuy couldn't do nothing for me.
