Samsung - Pre-Owned Galaxy Note 10+ 256GB (Unlocked) - Aura Black

It was in excellent condition would buy again it work like it was brand new im very pleased with this product

Love my new phone works prefect would really recommend it

Bought the preowned unlocked samsung galaxy s10+( N975U). Im giving these pre-owned phones a 3 star for 3 reasons listed below. All in all this phone arrived in immaculate condition. No scratches dings or dents. The box was not orininal but that was expected. The charge cable is of the cheapo veriety, expect to find better quality ones at the gas station, not mad though. The charge block is an oem samsung fastcharger and sim eject tool was included as stated in the description of the listing. 1. Regardless of the fact that these phones are unlocked, best buy doesnt give you the option of what branded firmware you get when ordering an unlocked phone this can cause issue ibwill mention later. 2. This builds off #1. If when receving said phone, if you get a different carrier branded phone than what you are using you may be locked out of apn settings for your current sim card.( ex. ATT software on phone with verizon sim card and vice versa) havent personally recieved any other carriers at this time. 3. In order to circumnavigate this issue, you must download a patched version of samsungs odin software version 3.13b, and then find an unlocked firmware (N975U1) to flash on your phone with same or newer binaries. N975U and N975U1 firmware are interchangeable. Only then will the phone trully be unlocked. OTA updates work as they are supposed to apn settings are unlocked, setup and useable as they should be, and if you really wanted to you can reflash whatever branded firmware you want(N975U) following the same binary guidline when downloading carrier branded firmware. You have to flash the N975U1 firmware to remove carrier splash screen and bloatware, then you can either stay on the unbranded firmware or swap to w/e carrier firmware(N975U). Att,verizon tmobile all have their own bloatware that the unbranded firmware does not. With all that said, im am technically inclined and have worked with these issues b4. I Recieved an ATT phone and have a verizon sim card, my apn settings showed up in settings, but when trying to save settings, the phone said they were not allowed. This is when i went through the 25 hour grueling searchfest, testing firmwares, having constant hash 256 failures. Having to research into these failures to having to use the patched odin software, getting a good flash and testing ota updates and everything else. If the average person gets one of these phones and it doesnt match your sim, return it. The hassle of finding the programs and firmware arnt worth the headache. Until bestbuy gives you the option to CHOOSE WHAT CARRIER FIRMWARE THEY SEND YOU, STEER CLEAR UNLESS YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH THE PROBABILITY OF WHAT I WROTE IN #,s 1,2, and 3. If that is a gamble you want to take, by all means do you my friend. These phones are unlocked, but you may have to do some work to get it to work for you, you may get lucky and have no issues, and you may be like me and have a journey of the ages. I laughed, i cried, i was mad and then relieved. I no longer have to return this phone and my daughter can have my old s10 plus for her bday(still in great shape) bought unlocked from bestbuy as well last year .
