Works well, great battery.
So we've been using this phone for about a month, and I am happy overall. First of all, the battery is amazing, the health checked in at 96% health, which is above expectations for a refurbished phone. The phone operates as it should, and performs perfectly. The only minor complaints I have are the blemishes that were on the body, which were a bit worse than expected based on the terms of Amazon's " refurbished excellent" condition, but they were still not deal breakers. This should have been reflected in the price, or lowered the condition placement, as the scratches, though minor, were still visible further than 12" away, and the camera lens appeared to have adhesive or a seal visible underneath, which you do not see on new phones. The battery was d.o.a. (dead on arrival), but like I said earlier, it has excellent health (according to the phones internal check). The phone was somewhat dirty with dust/lint (possibly dandruff) and some fingerprints which could have easily been wiped off before packaging, but because the phone works so well and the battery is in such good condition, I overlooked the flaws. So overall I would recommend this seller, as the flaws were a somewhat fair trade off for the performance, and I know not only would it be a nightmare to return it, likely faced with resistance and jumping through unrealistic hoops as often sellers make it difficult as a deterrent so buyers just keep it, but also getting another one may have came with the same flaws anyway and a lesser battery. (I don't know for sure that this seller operates like that). Don't get me wrong, the price for this was fair, though I would have valued it $20- $30 lower for the flaws that were immidiately visible. I would hope they clean the others better before shipping, because even though these phones have been used, they should be clean, seeing fingerprints and dust or dandruff isn't ideal. I know there are some complaints here, and some may seem petty, but they all apply to Amazon standards for "excellent" class of refurbished. Being dirty is a simple fix, just clean it, especially before applying the adhesive screen protector because debris is now under that. The adhesive (if that's what it was) under the lens may have been an excess when putting the phone back together, or maybe a slightly crooked seal, but it doesn't seem to effect the camera view. As for the dead battery upon arrival, thats not good if the phone had sat longer before being sold. Lithium based batteries should be around 50% while storing, or waiting to sell. Good phone overall, which still earned the 5th star here, but I have purchased better for the same price. Actually I have bought 2 other phones which were around the same price and a little better condition. But they are all different, and you wont always get flawless, and I knew this was not going to be brand new. I do recommend this seller because the phone works great and the flaws are covered anyway, so if you need a phone and can't afford, or don't want to pay full price, I say give them a shot. Hopefully they read this and future sales are cleaner and charged before shipping.Ver másVer menos
