Title: No issues as of 1 week in
Review: Received phone within 3 days – product packaging: wasn’t very good, if the carriers weren’t careful and jostled the box around or dropped it I could see the glass cracking as there wasn’t any foam around the phone, i however didnt experience this. unlocked status: I’ll be honestly I have Verizon as my carrier and I did not experience any issues but I did read in the comments that some people did not get fully unlocked phones – I personally did not have any issues, battery upon arrival: was at about 50% when arrived, its not a big deal, when you get an electronic item that requires charging you’re usually instructed to fully charge before anything any ways, took about 1.5 days to get down to 15 % from the original charge of 50%. battery life: I haven’t had any issues as of yet, battery life will always be different depending on how many apps you have open, what your operating system settings are and other factors so you can always change the settings to preserve more battery life if you want. There hasn’t been any specific days that the battery went dead crazy fast or anything. The included charger: TERRIBLE! lol its not a huge deal it’s a nice bonus item but the charger connects and the phone states it’s not the proper charger and will get to 100% in like 10 hrs so I’d recommend getting a better charger for the phone, as the phone was relatively cheap its not a big deal and I won’t be docking any stars for it. Phone camera: I had the iPhone XR prior to buying this and I took the same exact picture with both phones determining that the Samsung actually took a better picture than the iPhone xr. Not by too much but the lighting did seem better in the Samsung picture than the iPhone. I’ve had no issues transferring all my information and honestly I’m really happy with this purchase. I wanted a quality phone but I didn’t want to pay anything over $400 for a phone. I recommend getting a phone from Amazon, they have never given me any issues if I’ve had a problem with any of my items and as this phone is being sold by their company you’ll have an easier time getting any issues fixed, just know that getting anything that’s refurbished will have a chance of having issues, good luck 👍Edit: have now had phone for about a month, no other issues other than takes a while to charge on normal chargers but I have found a work around and it doesn’t affect how long the phone keeps a charge, I’ve not charger my phone for about 2 days used it mildly and still have about 12 %

Title: Excellent phone choice even in 2025
Review: I purchased this phone over 2 years ago. It’s still going strong. No battery issues, no heating issues. I’ve dropped the phone many times and the screen has never cracked. It performs just like the day it came out. The only complaint I have is that there is no audio jack or SD card slot. Sometimes I prefer just plugging my phone in rather than connecting to Bluetooth. The backside of phone scratches more than the screen. But as I’ve already stated, the screen is very durable and strong unlike the previous versions.

Title: Display died after only 12 days.
Review: I purchased this Samsung S21 Plus that was refurbished supposedly to excellent condition. It was the delivered on September 16th 2024. Today I am writing this review and it is September 28th 2024. This morning I got up like every morning and picked up my phone to check emails and messages and was on the phone for approximately 5 minutes when all of a sudden the screen went black. I can hear the buttons functioning when I touched the black screen but could see nothing. I have the exact same phone which is my old one that still works so I put them side by side and used my phone as a guide for the positions of the buttons on the phone with no screen. After turning the phone on and off several times and recycling it still no screen. Took the phone down to repair center and they told me the display is shot. I could not send the phone out back to Amazon because it has all of my data and information in it personal and Financial. Therefore, I was forced to pay the repair center $200 to replace the screen. The short of it is, I would be very careful with this company. Obviously they do nothing with the phones except clean them up replace some aesthetic parts and put them in a brown cardboard box and ship them out. I wasted 275 on this phone when I could have bought a brand new one for an additional $100 off of eBay in a sealed box. The moral of the story is don’t try to cheap out. More importantly I would definitely rethink buying from this vendor because their products are substandard.

Title: Great!
Review: My boyfriend and I always buy new phones with income tax.. and I’ll be honest I was hesitant to buy a refurbished phone period. But he talked me into it and I must say I was suprised.. we can’t afford to keep up with the newest and latest phone fab. So buying them refurbished is the next best thing.. I haven’t had any problems nor do I have any complaints with my phone. The specs are great camera is amazing-balls.. the features are lovey too.. all around great phone..I love samsung galaxy phones (won’t buy iphone, i hate them) I am very glad he talked me into it. If your on the fence about it.. take my advice and go for it you won’t be disappointed.**P.s I always buy the extra warranty too.. it’s a life saver. Esp if your like my boyfriend and drop and shatter your screen beyond recognition (not even a month after buying it).. we Called..filed a claim and paid a small fee (way less than cost of a new phone) and amazon sent the new one out…》》if you take anything from my review take this>> buy refurbished and spring for the extra warranty… it’s definitely worth it.. 《《

Title: Not exactly what it says it is. It still available full functioning AT&T phone. At least ours was.
Review: This phone was not a completely wiped phone. It is still full of AT&T data. It’s not exactly what’s advertised. Be careful what purchase. There is a lot of reprogramming involved!

Review: Llevo ya dos semanas con el telefono y la verdad es que es una compra de la cual no me arrepiento para nada, el teléfono llegó en excelente estado, si acaso unos ligeros rayones en los contornos de la cámara pero no afectan para nada y tendrias que ser muy quisquilloso para verlos a simple vista, llego con un cargador genérico que ahí sí debo decir que se sobrecalentaba muchisimo cuando usaba la carga rápida del teléfono por lo cual recomiendo comprar sí o sí un cargador original para que no te preocupes de tu bateria ni de que se queme tu casa por el cargador.La bateria es otro tema y es que Samsung siempre ha tenido temas con la bateria y ahora siendo un teléfono recondicionado dura menos entonces si eres una persona que utiliza todo el tiempo su teléfono, te va a durar máximo un dia con carga completa, pero si lo usas en interlapsos tiene una buena duración.En conclusión es un muy buen teléfono a muy buen precio, los únicos temas serían el cargador y la duración dependiendo el uso que se le da al telefono pero mi calificación es 10/10

Review: A clean, excellent condition renewed phone this S21+ comes with a larger screen than the S21 the 6.7-inch Dynamic amoled display with adaptive 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ provides a bright, crisp display, highlighting radiant colors. Taking photos with the 3X optic zoom brings you closer to your subject than ever before.The anti-shake feature works extremely well to stabilize photos and eliminate blur. It is fast charging and inductive charging ready, battery life is consistent with the previous model. The S21+ introduced in 2021 was a $1100 CAD phone.

Review: Mon vieux téléphone ayant rendu l’âme, j’ai dut m’en acheter un nouveau d’urgence. Quel fût ma surprise de trouver celui-ci à prix très abordable. J’avais une petite crainte vu qu’il s’agit d’un appareil reconditionné, mais en même temps, comme il était de niveau excellent, je ne m’inquiétais pas trop.Eh bien depuis environ 1 mois que je possède ce téléphone, et j’en suis enchanté. Il fait vraiment le travail dont j’ai besoin. Sachez que je n’hésiterai pas à faire de nouveau appel à vous si j’ai à nouveau besoin de changer d’appareil.
