Basically the title. I would rather not get scammed… :) The idea is to move to GrapheneOs as my next step, but I don’t necessarily need the newest device.

Edit: yeah I was being too generic, Austria is were I am.

Ok thanks, I was looking at the website and trying to understand if it should be trusted…

I’d be very careful if I were you, see my comment above.

That doesn’t sound good, thanks for the warning!

My experience with Backmarket was horrible and the S21 I got from them was advertised as being in “perfect condition” but resembled more a phone that endured World War II so I had to send it back for a refund. Backmarket is merely a marketplace for refurbishers, they don’t really check the phones that are being sold on their marketplace and anyone can easily put “perfect condition” when it’s clearly not the case.
