Good deal
I just received this last night and I'm pretty happy with it so far. This is the first time buying a refurbished phone or any unlocked phone, so was slightly concerned but it looks good and is working great.The bad, if I want to nitpick: There is one little, maybe 1/8", scratch on the screen that I noted in the picture. It is not at all noticeable when the phone is on and I had to try to even capture it in a photo with the phone off. It sits so low on the screen that I will probably never even feel it during normal operation.The good, everything works and is in great shape other than the tiny scratch. Every function test through the Samsung Members app checks out. The Battery test shows it as "Good" and is down to only 82% today after running it all day with the screen appearance cranked to max so pretty sure that isn't going to be a problem. All buttons feel good with solid response and no visible signs that the screen was removed or replaced.It appears to be a carrier unlocked phone originally with AT&T, gauging from the splash screen. I was able to just put my old Verizon SIM card in and that prompted to switch the carrier software over so now it appears like any other verizon phone on startup. I didn't have any problem with it still being a locked phone and didn't need to contact any carrier to perform the switch over.Data transfer was also easy using Samsung Smart Switch, aside from a lot of photos and music I decided to transfer manually off the old sdcard from the old Note9 because hundreds of gigs is going to take a while. But all apps and data so far appear to have come over seamlessly.I had been looking at the S26 Ultra as well as an upgrade but decided I wasn't ready to give up on a bluetooth S-pen yet. Under $700 taxed and shipped was a pretty good deal for this phone and it is still a very large upgrade from my old phone. I will probably buy another few year old refurbished phone again once this reaches end of life support on updates.Direct Certified was the seller on this and I would recommend.Ver másVer menos
