SAMSUNG Galaxy S20+ 5G, US Version, 128GB, Cloud Blue - Unlocked (Renewed)

Was leary of some bad reviews but this seller provided what was advertised 100% and the shipping time was within reason and well packaged. About the phone, the absolute BEST one I've owned to date and unless it dies soon there simply isn't anything to compare pricewise. This refurbished phone looked absolutey brand new cosmetically and once I inserted my Verizon SIM card in it the phone did a few firmware and software updates and works flawlessly in every way. Battery charged to 100% and gives a Full day or service with juice left over. Has Dolby Atmos sound and good volume, screen clarity is awesome and overall a great value .... This phone is FAST and easy on the eyes too !!! Only time will tell about longevity but so far I couldn't be happier with this seller and phone.

Ordered from Synergy. That is whom I am reviewing. They seemed the most reputable out of the various seller choices that rotate through the listings for this model. (Synergy has a contact phone number for support, and is a real company. They aren't a street side cell phone shop listing their inventory on Amazon). I'd suggest watching out for which vendor you select to make your purchase.Very happy with this phone. It is in very good condition and it was well worth going for the refurbished model to save a lot of money.The minor negatives are:The Amazon Renewed Guarantee for "Excellent condition" states that:-"The screen and body show no signs of cosmetic damage visible from 12 inches away." There was a v-shaped scratch on the screen that was noticeable. I can't see it once I put a glass screen protector on the phone, so I didn't care about it.-and it states that "This product will have a battery that exceeds 80% capacity relative to new." I downloaded AccuBattery to test the battery capacity and it was at 83%. Not too bad for a refurbished unit but I was hoping for better than that.Still a good deal for a near perfect phone.

What did I like? Well between my wife and I, this was our 2nd Galaxy S20+ and fourth Samsung flagship phone, so I know exactly what to expect from them: excellent quality, superb compatibility especially with Samsung accessories, solid build quality, excellent displays and stunning photography. Too bad this purchase was, for the most part, NOT those things.Pros & Cons:Besides the back glass being cracked UPON ARRIVAL (starting with a rather small starburst but within days had three long cracks across the entire width of the device's back glass,) and the display being a cheap non-OEM replacement garbage screen (with reduced resolution, refresh rate, and clarity with CURVED WATERFALL EDGES while the original S20+ screen is completely FLAT so they didn't even get the shape of the screen correct, and within 4 months was completely unusable save for perhaps a small cluster of approx 50 pixels in the lower right hand section,) and constant issues with the eSIM and WiFi functionality... but other than that yeah the "Excellent" condition rating was just really on-point! Check everything folks, run the diags right out of the box and start the return process EARLY via the AMAZON SELLER MESSAGING ONLY. Don't even bother with support via WhatsApp or SMS, you're wasting your time and on day 90 and ½, it's yours to keep. I keep mine as a nice little BRICK paper weight on my desk. In that regard, it really holds the papers down well, considering these days the only paper I'm using is love notes to and from my wife, artwork drawn by my young children, and various government documents, I've pretty much gone fully paperless at this point; oh! and legal briefs I've printed for pending litigation against unscrupulous 3rd party sellers who will say all the right things via WhatsApp on days 1 through 89.Conclusions:Please view my pix, read this entire review, then draw your own conclusions from there. Be safe out there, folks.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 5G Plus looked and worked as if new...so far at least. Worked with my T-Mobile simcard instantly, which was previously used in an iPhone 13 Max Pro. I do not know why I got an iPhone but I hate the rigidity and too-many clicks system of iOS. After a few months of irritation and inability to customize the iPhone and lack of SDcard expansion, I decided to go back to Android and with Samsung! So glad I was able to find thus refurbished Galaxy S20 5G Plus (6.7 screen size) with its specs and for the price listed. I have had it a few weeks at this point of the review. NO MORE iPhones or iOS for me from here on out (I also own an iPad). I will update in a few months. I rely on the honest and thorough reviews of regular folks, ordinary consumers, so when I have extra time, I try to 'pay it forward' by writing my own experiences and updating my reviews a few months later, particularly for very expensive products that give us anxiety to buy online--like refurbished electronic devices! Just make sure to ONLY buy from official Amazon or Amazon Warehouse when purchasing a 'LIKE NEW' refurbished device, or reallyny electronic devices but especially cellular phones (unlocked or not). I have bought several refurbished tablets and cellphones throughout the years from Amazon Certified Refurbished products. NOT a single one has failed me yet or were defective. I hope I don't jinks myself out for writing this review.
