The phone is completely like new. Buying this is just like buying a brand new one. Even though it's 8-9 months old, it has been used with great care. I am selling it because I want to switch to an iPhone. Buying this will definitely benefit you, and hopefully, you will get an authentic device. If you trust me, you can take it via courier on conditional delivery so you can check it thoroughly. If you find any annoying scratches, you can return it. It is completely fresh.
