    So far so good. Haven't had this phone long enough really for an honest review. The only thing I worry about is the no warranty. $400 is still a lot of money for me to spend to not be warranted. I do have total tech but unfortunately it doesn't cover cell phones I hear. So if this lasts a couple years I won't complain. I also wish it had a speaker jack

    I purchased a refurbished Galaxy s21. Next time I will buy a new one. Refurbished phone is slow and the keyboard doesnt work very well.

    Best decision was accidentally shattering my old phone by launching it across the parking lot so I could upgrade to this one - I funbled this one again and there isn't so much as a scratch on it

    I bought this phone for $400 and it was supposed to be unlocked. I sent it to my sister out of the country only to find that it’s still locked to Verizon. I tried to contact Bestbuy several times. They kept telling me to go to different stores to have the issue resolved and though they accepted the sold me a locked phone they didn’t even have the courtesy to resolve the issue. In fact no one seemed to know how to resolve my issue. So disappointing especially being a Geek Squad member for over 5 years.

    Phone would not read sim card, I replaced my sim card hoping it would fic the issue and realized it was the phone that was the problem. Pretty upset customer. As it was "certified refurbished" it was a christmas gift that i no longer can return.

    Description only said used phone and didn’t mentioned phone has been refurbished. The back had been opened and around the camera area is gapping due to refurbishment. I didn’t pick refurbished phone.
