Customers say

Customers find the phone in fantastic condition, taking amazing photos and offering great value for money. However, the functionality and phone quality receive mixed reviews, with some saying it operates like new while others report camera issues. The battery life and charging speed also get mixed feedback – while some praise the battery life, others mention it drains quickly, and while some find it faster than previous phones, others report wireless charging problems. Additionally, the screen quality is positive, though customers note it has scratches and scuffs.

Title: Definitely what I was hoping for
Review: I am always leery about buying used electronics. You never know if you get the one that was barely used, and the person is just a serial upgrader every time a new model comes out. OR, if the item was traded in because it was malfunctioning, and wasn’t spotted before being resold.Not the issue here so far. Tested every feature that I would actually use and it runs smoothly and quickly. From a full charge in the morning before I go to work, and with moderate usage throughout the day, it is generally down to about 80% by the time I go to bed (usually between 1:30 and 2:00am). I am upgrading from a much earlier model Galaxy and the camera (both still and video) quality is spectacular comparatively. Particularly in low light. Verizon SIM card transferred over without issues and that Samsung transfer app was a God send for getting all of my stuff (including pix, wifi passes, etc…..) over to the new phone. The lack of an SD slot makes me a bit nervous, but this one is the 256 gig model so hopefully, I won’t have to do much relocating of files, images and videos over to my PC with the space that there is on here.Physically, the phone was in pretty good shape. Though there were a few minor scuffs on the back, the glass for the screen AND the camera lenses were flawless. And, I always use a case/holster anyway, way back since the old flip phone days. So, I will never actually SEE the body of the phone anyway.All in all, up to this point, I feel like the investment was good. There is 90 days worth of warranty so if I stumble across something that is a deal breaker, I can return it. If you are looking for a phone that won’t cost as much as a cheap automobile, this “renewed” option may be something you can look in to. I will be trying it again when it is time to make another upgrade.

Title: Huge upgrade from my previous phone
Review: I used to have a Galaxy S8 active until I sadly drowned it on accident, I set out to find a goof quality phone that wouldn’t break the bank, and this was spot on.It has a great camera quality, and even has the ability to take .5 photos which I was always jealous of other people for being able to do, it’s sleek with all the cameras to one side which gives plenty of space to hold or grab the phone at.I haven’t noticed it running too hot unless it’s an abnormally hot day, or running a very processor heavy app or program.The phone came in great condition, with only some very minor cosmetic damages on the back of the phone, but all functuons worked great, and none of the screens or cameras were cracked. All visible damage is covered by any case I’ve used.The battery life is pretty good, of course you can stretch it or run it faster depending on what apps you’re using, I am usually able to get through a whole day at work starting at 6:30, and ending at 4, without needing to charge it, of course if I am watching videos or playing music, the battery will be used a bit more than if it’s just locked not doing anything.

Title: Worst purchase ever
Review: Worst purchase ever! The phone was in “good” condition. Packaging was poor from the start. There were scratches all over the screen and small chips around the side of the phone. Now this was advertised as unlocked, why is it when I put my SIM card in it, it reads for about 30 minutes then shows “no SIM card inserted your device is unable to make calls or connect to mobile networks”. I tried several working SIM cards and same issue. Now after using it for less than 24 hours the phone goes off and the dreaded blue screen pops up. This phone, if it was refurbished was done so poorly, as the model number states its dual sim but then the SIM tray is for 1 SIM. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE OR ANYTHING FROM THIS SELLER

Title: Good value for the Money
Review: OK, so I must admit this was my third phone through amazon renewed, the first 2 were questionable when it came to excellent condition. Trust me, they had various issues too numerous to explain.This 3rd phone though is excellent so far. Condition, I would say is practically new. Case and Screen were blemish free, not even signs of fingerprints. The phone is Verizon branded, but does not impact phone service or use. It is unlocked and work with my Tracfone sim through T-Mobile. Testing battery life, but it seems close to normal after a few years of use. Used it all day and I still had 25% battery remaining with really heavy use. Data transfer went flawlessly with no hick ups, very easy and straight forward. Even the sim was immediately recognized without having to call the carrier.Everything seems to be in good working order. The person who owned this phone 1st really took care of it, you can tell. Other than the branding issue on start up and a notification telling me my sim is not a Verizon sim, everything seems to be in good working order.This is an upgrade for me coming from am Galaxy A20s. The upgrade was immediately noticed. And 256gb memory is just enough for me. I carry books, music and movies in my phone and this has handled everything I have thrown at it without issue. The camera is great and takes amazing photos compared to my last phone.Buying through Amazon renewed is a crap shoot really, it depends on the last user(s) and what may have happened to the phone, I can imagine the phone’s people are turning in. I’m sure most have issue from over use and drops, to phone malfunctions in general. And from studying the vendors who sell the phones you really have no idea what they might do with them once they are rehabbed, Water damage, electronic issues, even screen replacements. All the phone are going through private phone companies who refurb them and send them back out.Like I said, 3rd times the charm and I lucked up on what I think is an excellent buy. Would I do again, sure, but make sure to check out the phone thoroughly during your 90-day return window. I will continue to test out and report back if any issues popped up. But so far so good. Check the vendor rating and issues reported in reviews. Typically, they spell out possible issues with phones or vendors selling them.I have always believed in recycling items, especially electronics. So do your part and make sure they don’t end up in landfill somewhere.I have liked Samsung products for years and this still holds true with this phone. I don’t need the latest and greatest, but I know I have a few years still before a newer model takes it’s place. Furthermore, I usually hold on to a phone for 2–3 yrs, depends on the phone. Oh yeah, 5G is the hits. Very smooth and fast, no delays when surfing the web, everything just flows like a hardwired home system. 120 mhz is smooth and haven’t noticed any hang-ups.Yes, I would buy again through Amazon renewed. But I’m sure you could find the same product locally at your local phone store. I’m happy with purchase and would recommend with caveats. Check your phone carefully, run it through is paces and test everything, camera, sound, display and any function you think is important and even those you might not think is important. test all settings and make sure all your setting take effect. This phone is loaded with options and it took about 3 hrs to transfer and update this phone once I started things up.Gaming is great, and the display is amazing. No glitches during game play. It’s almost to fast that I can’t keep up visually.So two thumbs up on buy. Finally moving like most with an upgraded phone.

Review: El equipo está como nuevo esta muy pero muy bien visualmente, trae detalles no muy visibles, en el paquete venían el equipo, cargador y cable genéricos solo no traía el panfleto de Amazon. Por lo de más en funcionamiento asta ahora perfecto!

Review: Mugrero de producto. No compren reacondicionados. Lo compré pero lo guardé por más de un año, finalmente lo usé como 9 meses y un día ya no prendió pero se escuchaba, un error muy común en estos celulares reacondicionados. No vuelvo a comprarlos. Prefiero comprar una gama media baja pero original nuevooo.

Review: Me agrada mucho el producto, lamentablemente en ésta segunda compra, tuve la fortuna que me llegara un producto en mal estado, lo cual no me agradó del todo en comparación de la primer compra que hice, el producto estuvo de maravilla.

Review: Única desventaja, el sistema operativo no se puede actualizar. Al ser de origen de EUA no reconoce o recibe las actualizaciones de Samsung. No se a que se deba.No llego en las condiciones físicas que menciona. Pero quiero imaginar que solo fue mi unidad.El resto, es un gran telefo, la pantalla y cámaras funcionan muy bien.La batería es de larga duración.Sin problema me quedaré con el un par de años más, o hasta que ya no sirva. Me gustó mucho

Review: No lo compren. Es una estafa totalmente. Desde que lo recibí la batería estaba en mal estado y termino por inflarse la batería. Al momento de hacer el reembolso, YA PASO MÁS DE UN MES desde que lo solicite y el equipo de amazon no me aclara nada del reembolso, por lo que definitivamente, no lo compren. El equipo no es funcional, y si pides tu reembolso no te lo dan.
