    I bought this for my husband who was an iphone user through and through, he agreed to switch to thr Galaxy Note 20 though because his iphone was living on its last legs. The phone arrived MUCH faster than expected, it is in better condition than expected. The sim port seems to struggle to stay in slightly BUT it doesnt have any problems registering our xfinity mobile cell services. It truly came unlocked. My husband loves the phone now and we put a very sturdy case on it so there are no issues with the sim port. 10/10 considering purchasing one for myself now

    Just love this phone! The camera is Amazing. See photo taken of the moon 9/1/23. The fact that it will take a micro sd card still to back up all my photos is the real reason I wont get the newer note phones.

    Satisfied with Refurbished Galaxy Note 20 ULTRA5G

    I purchased this phone as an upgrade to my long-serving Samsung Note9 which started acting relatively slow comparing to new devices. personally, I can't justify spending more than $500 on any smart phone. so the idea of searching on BestBuy for a pre-owned phone was a great option. The Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G was the phone of choice Specs: - A stunning 6.9" D-AMOLED display - 12Gb RAM making it ideal for multitasking specially when using the samsung DEX (desktop replacement) - Good camera (not the best) - 128Gb fast storage (I would preferred the 256Gb version but that option wasn't available at the time of purchase), however, with the built-in memory card tray, I added an extra 128Gb SanDisk extreme Pro to have a total of 256Gb of storage. - A single SIM and multiple eSIM's (best of travelers like myself (I currently have added 3 eSIMs and a regular SIM card, the phone can run ONE physical SIM and ONE eSIM concurrently - The phone is relatively large and heavy. while it's easy to hold in hand, It doesn't feel balanced during typing. - The phone arrived with Android 12 but with the first restart it offered and upgrade for Android 13 which is the last update for this phone - The battery life can get you through the day ONLY with Power Saving option turned ON. Overall, I'm so happy with this purchase, for less than $500, I received a phone in like new condition. I do appreciate the opportunity to save money while still enjoying a high-quality device, I would like to suggest including a screen protector pre-installed to protect the investment.

    Vibrant display with great colors. Plenty of processing power to get the job done especially with 5G service. Still has the micro sd card for expandable memory, should never get rid of that feature, in my opinion. Cameras take phenominal photos, but would like to have a designated macro lens. The s-pen is neat but haven't utilized it to its fullest extent. Sad to see the note line of phone disappear.

    A few weeks ago I bought this phone online and so far the experience has been excellent. The purchasing process was quick and easy, and the product arrived within the estimated time, well packaged and in perfect condition. From the first use, the phone surprised me with its performance. The screen has a sharp resolution and very vivid colors, ideal for watching videos or playing games. The battery lasts all day, and even a little longer if I only use it for calls and social media. In short, I am very satisfied with my purchase. It is a phone with excellent value for money, ideal for those looking for a reliable and modern device without overpaying.

    This phone was great, but unfortunately since it was a refurbished device, and they only fix the thing wrong with the phone, the screen was quick to break. Other than that great phone!

    I purchased this phone and supposed to be unlocked, but I return it because it was locked. It was not working was very, not happy. And I purchased another one. It was a lot of dents in the back, even though it was used, but in comments were saying it’s perfect refurbish.

    When they say these phones are unlocked they really aren't normally you will get a phone that is attached to a Carrier and they will not be able to fix it. When you get it unlocked phone it should be unlocked and not attached to a Carrier the moment you boot up the phone it should just be clear and say Samsung not attached to Verizon AT&T or Boost Mobile.
