    The phone overheated since the beginning, had terrible battery life, then froze and never turned on again, stuck on the Samsung black screen. Best Buy’s warranty support is frustrating: hard to reach, limited service hours, and they referred me to Geek Squad, who don’t even handle Samsung phones. By the time I was told to contact the seller, the warranty had expired. Now I’m left with a broken phone, no support, and no refund, waiting for a solution from Best Buy... All this happened within 3 months. I don’t recommend buying refurbished phones from Best Buy, unless you want to waste your money.

    Just needed to replace the old one until I decide to purchase a later model. It did work, was in great shape, pricey but rather spend a few bucks more to get one that looks and works great.

    I was a little hesitant when ATT popped up when starting the phone for the first time but the phone was in great condition and as soon as I inserted my Tmobile sim card it looked up the info and connected no issue. Transfering from my S10 to this phone was the easiest I've ever seen it done.

    The phone stop working within a 4 weeks. It kept saying nonsim card. I went to T-Mobile, they check it out and they said something was wrong with no phone. Call best buy and they didn't help. I do not recommend this phone. In fact do not buy any pre owned phone from them

    I bought this used phone "unlocked." It was shipped to my house and recieved in a few days. The phone was in great shape, like new. When I turned it on, I could see which carrier it was previously locked to. I put in a SIM card from a different service provider and it still works great months later.

    We never used this phone. I was sold a locked phone instead of an unlocked phone. I went back in to return it and they initially refused to accept it stating that it was my responsibility to confirm that it was unlocked. Saying because I ordered it online. We pressured the manager Jack saying he sold us the wrong device and finally he agreed to take it back. We didnt get to gift the phone to my brother who lives outside USA so it was no use to us. I cant believe we had to fight to get our money back, in reputable best buy. Do better best buy.
