Unlocked and working
Lots of curious reviews. I was anxious about trying this phone.Glad I did. Looks almost new. Works great so far! I don’t usually recommend electronic devices, but this one is great.

Great for a second phone.
This is a reconditioned unlocked phone. Other than a few scratches it’s in great shape. I bought it for international travel, so once or twice a year if I go overseas I just buy a sim card with unlimited phone and just enough data for what I need. Was in UK and put in local Sim card and it worked great. Battery life was great, guessing they put in a new one when reconditioned.

It sure isn’t S series quality.
Phone arrived in good to new cond. I guess I expected more from Samsung. Not even close to the S series on quality or apps. Functionality is somewhat lacking.

Poor quality for refurbishment
The refurbished samsung phone I bought has been poorly sealed by the vendor. Over time I got dust accumulating behind the back and front cameras (see pictures). My front camera is currently not usable. Vendor refused to help to fix the issue. I would not recommend refurbished phone from this vendor.

5 star company
After 3 months of dealing with Amazon and other company’s sending wrong phones, this company went above and beyond to make sure I received this phone before my son drove across country. You’ll never v know how much that meant to me. Oh yeah let’s not forget to mention the perfect phone. Thank you!!!

First one i received was not unlocked and was a Verizon phone.
I reorderd and received the correct unlocked phone. Have not used it much yet but can report that it looks brand new and had a sticker conveniently placed on the back with the imei number which I then checked ofr compatibility.

great phone
I was expending some scratches or something wrong, but was surprised that this phone looked new. Could not find nothing wrong with it. Connected it to wifi and updated the software and then inserted my sim card from verizon, Everything work great, No problem so far. Put it into a phone case.

Perfect for my use
The phone was exactly what I needed. Excellent design and construction. The delivery carrier (USPS), on the other hand, should never ever be used by Amazon. This is the 3rd high ticket item to go missing for days. I live rurally and depend on mail order. FEDEX and UPS never seem to have a problem. Items shipped by USPS arrive at the local post office then mysteriously get shipped back to a USPS distribution center for another ride around the country.

A little disappointed
I didn’t pay attention to this being a refurbished phone. Came with scratches on the back of it. Haven’t put service on it yet as I haven’t been home to do so. Really hoping its better then the phone I have now. May update review once I start using it.

Crap
We bought these phones a few months ago and they can’t stay connected, they drop calls constantly, trying to send data is a joke. Our tablets work just fine. Getting free phones from t-mobile connected monday.

Disappointing
I don’t care if there are cosmetic scratches on the back frame–it’s just going to get covered in a case anyway–but multiple scratches on the screen itself, including a crease that cuts across the ENTIRE screen in the MIDDLE?! Really?!Didn’t even bother taking it to my phone carrier to port over data or get a Sim card. This was my first (and likely last) time trying a “Refurbished/Renewed” phone service. My recommendation to such services–if you’re going to try and sell a phone and there are scratches in the central viewing area of the phone you need to replace the screen. Build it into your price. Reduce what you paid for the phone. But don’t sell it back in a state that’s suboptimal for all viewing on the screen.

What a Joke
Ordered this refurbished “Unlocked” Samsung phone. Came in looking great. When I inserted the SIM card it linked right up with my carrier. Soon after, however, got an error message saying that the carrier could not be change because the phone was LOCKED by Verizon. No problem, called Verizon to have it unlocked. No luck. Seems the previous owner had a large unpaid balance so Verizon would not unlock the phone. Irritated, called Amazon customer service to get a replacement. No problem, processed a return and ordered the replacement. Received the new phone today. Ready? The replacement phone had the EXACT same problem. Clearly, whoever Amazon is sourcing their “refurbished” phones from is not performing adequate testing and quality control. I’ll be buying my unlocked phones from another vendor from now on!

BAD battery life!
Ordered this “renewed” A42 5s phone and the battery lasted only 2 1/2 days. Amazon claims batteries are AT LEAST 80% of new. Phone takes screen shots for no reason and changed my language to something so foreign that I couldn’t get it back to english.Sent back and bought a NEW Samsung A14 5s and the battery has lasted 7 full days until, now down to 10%…not bad for a full week of battery life.Stay away from refurbished!

Not everything works properly
I bought this phone because my previous A42 screen broke and was giving me black screen. So I bought another A42 since i already had a phone case for a A42 and I liked my previous A42. Well this one works just put in my old sim card and works. But there are some issues and I’m not sure what is causing them. On this phone I can not download my google drive backup at all. So I can not get it my old text messages or pictures etc. Also on my old A42 I had the option to turn on read receipts to see when someone has read my text message. This phone doesn’t even have the option under message settings or cell phone settings. Not sure if it’s because it’s renewed or because it’s unlocked but neither of these things are working properly. It also tells there is a security update but won’t download or install it. My old A42 I bought from Straight Talk and I am also using this one on Straight Talk network.

Responsive seller, willing to assist with a replacement if we couldn’t get it to work.
The phone was from another provider, it initially didn’t allow us to dial out, but after a day or so it “righted itself” and has been working flawlessly. The seller was willing to replace the phone with an unlocked phone from our provider of choice and was quick to respond. Much better than my provider who couldn’t (or wouldn’t) unlock my previous phone because “it was too old”. I’ll be buying unlocked phones from now on.

It works on Verizon pre-pay!
This phone is virtually brand new at a fraction of the cost! Over all, I’m extremely happy with this product. The only thing I found odd, was the couple attempts to hack my Cashapp account after I set up all my accounts? That never happened before owning this phone?

Excellent Phone at a great Value
The phone came as promised, got it set up in no time at a Verizon store. It works great – large screen, large keys, easy for an older person to use. Really good battery life. It has met all of the criteria we set for the purchase.

Good stuff and was aligned with the specifications
It was struggle to find an unlocked 5G phone to be working on At&T network. Finally this did. Eventhough it was T-Mobile unlocked, by using manual network connection AT&T was working. You need to shut the phone off completely for a while and then switch on to connect to At&T network.

Like new, works with Visible. Phone is great, easy to use. Very happy and I saved a lot of money. If anything goes wrong within 90 days, Amazon takes it back. Can’t go wrong buying this phone.

Compré este teléfono en el mes de julio y, 3 meses después, el teléfono está bloqueado. Esto quiere decir que el vendedor no fue honesto porque sabía que esto iba a suceder. Lo peor es que Amazon no responde por nada…:( –

Exceeds expectations
I was delighted to see that the phone was in excellent condition for a refurbished product. Looks new! Setting it up was a breeze thanks to smartswitch app. Inserted a sim card from T-mobile from my old phone worked without any tinkering. The phone itself is very quick for my needs, loading apps very fast. The 128gb of internal storage has plenty room for the apps I use. Also, you have to love the ability to use an sd card to get even more storage. All in all, I am very pleased with it.

Sim card
So I’ve had this for a little bit now, and I thought I’d come back and write a review! I love my phone so very much, my only issue is the sim card doesn’t get accepted!!! No matter what I do. It’s registered with atnt but it wont accept my prepaid atnt sim! it was so random one day it turned off and wouldn’t turn on agian and I left it alone of a few days & came back on and just stopped accepting my sim. It was accepting it before. :/

Fantastic!
This refurbished phone looks like it came out of its original packaging. Totally mint!Have had this phone for nearly 2 months now, and I am very content with it. The only downside for me is that it’s much heavier than my last phone, due to the much larger battery. However, the phone will run about 4-5x longer than all my previous phones. Camera is excellent for this price range. Finger print recognition is just fair. Hardly ever get it on the first attempt. Speakers are just ok. Not very loud. Voice recognition is very good, but the Samsung keyboard can be quirky.My 3 biggest gripe with this phone: the tiny clock and power level # at the top of the phone; there’s no missed called/text indicator that you’ve missed a when the phone is asleep; private phone call speaker volume is much too low.For this phone, I would not have been content if I had paid full price for a brand new device, but for this refurb at $150, I am very cobtent.
