Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

What payment options are available?

We offer a variety of payment options to make your shopping experience as convenient as possible! You can pay using all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Afterpay, Zip Pay, and PayPal. If you prefer, we also accept bank deposits and even cash for in-store purchases!

Description

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) 32GB Black – Unlocked Android Smartphone

The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017), model SM-A520F, is a straightforward unlocked Android smartphone with 32GB of storage in classic Black. Professionally tested and graded in Melbourne, it comes with a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT and free standard AU shipping.

  • 32GB storage: room for your everyday apps, messages, music and a collection of photos.
  • Unlocked: use a SIM from your preferred Australian carrier, with no lock-in to a single network.
  • Android: sign in with your Google account to get your contacts, email and apps back in minutes.
  • Samsung Galaxy A series: a Galaxy handset from one of the world's best-known phone makers, in a clean Black finish.
  • Factory reset: wiped and reset before dispatch, so it's ready to set up as your own phone.
  • Tested in Melbourne: professionally tested, cleaned and graded by Reboot IT, backed by a 12-month warranty.

Performance in use

Calls, texts and messaging. If you mainly want a phone for calls, texts, messaging apps and email, the Galaxy A5 (2017) keeps things simple. Set it up with your Google account, install the apps you use every day and you are ready to go. It's an easy, no-fuss option for anyone who wants a dependable Android phone without paying for features they will never touch.

A second phone for work or travel. Many of our customers buy a Galaxy A5 (2017) to keep work and personal life separate, or as a spare to take travelling or to use while their main phone is in for repair. Because it's unlocked, you can drop in whichever Australian SIM suits you, and the 32GB of storage holds your work apps, contacts and documents comfortably.

A first phone or a phone for family. For a teenager's first smartphone, or a parent or grandparent who wants something familiar, the Galaxy A5 (2017) is a sensible pick. 32GB is enough for core apps and a good number of photos, and switching on cloud backup keeps precious pictures and contacts safe if the phone is ever lost or replaced. Our 12-month warranty adds peace of mind for the whole family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Galaxy A5 (2017) unlocked?

Yes. It's unlocked, so you can use a SIM from your preferred Australian carrier with no lock-in. Since the 3G networks closed, each carrier keeps its own list of approved handsets, so we recommend a quick check with your carrier before you switch your number across.

Has the phone been reset?

Yes. Every phone is factory reset before dispatch. When it arrives, power it on, connect to Wi-Fi and sign in with your own Google account to restore your contacts, apps and backed-up photos.

What battery health can I expect?

Battery health depends on the grade you choose: 70%+ for Grade A and 50–70% for Grade B. Every battery is checked during testing and covered by a 30-day battery warranty.

How much storage does it have?

The Galaxy A5 (2017) has 32GB of storage. Some of that is used by the operating system and pre-installed apps, so the space free for your own files is a little lower. Cloud backup is a great way to keep large photo and video libraries off the phone.

Does it come with a charger or box?

This listing is for the handset itself. A charger, cable and retail box are not included, so plan to use a compatible charger you already own or pick one up separately.

Is shipping free?

Yes. The Galaxy A5 (2017) ships with free standard AU shipping, dispatched from our Melbourne warehouse.

What does the 12-month warranty cover?

The 12-month warranty from Reboot IT covers hardware faults that occur under normal use. If something goes wrong, contact our support team and we'll arrange a repair, replacement or refund in line with our warranty terms and the Australian Consumer Law.

Backed by Reboot IT. Every Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) is professionally tested, factory reset, cleaned and graded at our Melbourne workshop before it leaves us.
