Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G, US Version, 128GB, Phantom Black - Unlocked (Renewed)

This was a top of the line Samsung Galaxy four years ago so of course it's a good phone. I bought it renewed from Chubbiestech a little over a month ago and it works great. I waited to review it for over a month just to make sure no problems came up. No battery issues, no glitching, everything works great. And it looks practically brand new. I bought an excellent condition phone and it is indeed in excellent condition. This is the third renewed phone I have purchased from chubbiestech and all have been excellent.

This was my second attempt at buying a "Renewed by Amazon" phone. The first one almost scared me off from going this route but this Samsung arrived looking like a new phone, with no visible wear, or scratches on the screen. The phone had a new feel to it. I love everything about it. Everything about the phone is perfect. It has great battery life. The display is crystal clear. The NFC works flawlessly for CGMs and tap-to-pay. The phone is very quick when running apps and even gaming.The cameras, front and back, are the best I've ever had on any phone.The only cons if there are any are: 1. There is no memory expansion slot. It may be a problem at some later date but I doubt it. And, 2. The sound is not the greatest. I have a Bluetooth speaker that pairs flawlessly with it, so it really isn't a big problem.This Samsung is an amazing phone and the renewed by Amazon really shows how to get a great deal on a phone.

Phone is NOT compatible with AT&T. It was advertised and purchased as being unlocked, ready to use for any GSM carrier. Used it on Verizon network for almost 2 years. With a physical SIM card and an eSIM. Tried switching to AT&T and it wouldn't make or receive calls. I can send and receive text messages. I can get on the 5G and 4G networks and use the data. But no phone calls. WTF. Phone still functions fine and still works on Verizon, but Verizon has gone way downhill in my area. Actually, they suck in my area. Used to be good, then they abandoned everyone here and just don't care about their customers anymore. Kind of like people that sell a phone as compatible when it wasn't. And we're way past the 90 day return policy. The phone works fine, on Verizon, and Verizon alone. It was falsely advertised. Some people would even call this fraud. I am one of those people.

My first pre-owned device purchase here. I ordered a refurbished Samsung S21 PLUS 5G for just under $300. Supposedly in "Excellent" condition.- Positives -- It arrived promptly.- Functionally it worked perfectly.- The screen appears to be new.- It came with a charger / adapter as promised -- more about that in a minute.- Flaws -- There are scratches along the edge of the case, esp one corner. All sides. The corner is prominent.- The case had been opened and inexpertly resealed. In other words, one side looks quite different from the other. The case will conceal these issues. But they are there.- The charger is "not compatible" per the phone and charging is almost negligible, it's so slow. Fortunately I have some other chargers that work better.In spite of the cosmetic and charger issues for $300 I believe it will be a good phone. I don't want the hassle of exchanging it. Or I would.Is it in what I would call "Excellent condition"? No. I would describe it as Good. To me, Excellent means there are no obvious flaws. Perhaps the vendor would charge more for my idea of "Excellent" condition.Would I buy Amazon refurbished again? In the past I've purchased multiple refurbished and excellent-graded devices from reputable eBay sellers and have been happier.The eBay feedback system is more punitive and tough on shady sellers. My opinion. As a buyer that makes me feel more secure. I'll go to eBay first once again.

What I love the most is the battery it lasts all day. The seller also included a charger and a SIM pin , which I really appreciated. The phone came super clean and in great condition. I’m very happy with this purchase!
