Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G, US Version, 128GB, Lavender - Unlocked (Renewed)

It started with ordering a renewed Samsung S5E Tablet that won me over to ordering Amazon Renewed electronics. That well regarded tablet arrived without a mark on it, a charger and cable. It works perfectly and I use it almost every day. I especially like the DeX mode for some work-related tasks. Being the "thrifty" guy that I am, I set maximum price limits on many products that I buy. Phones are in that group of products. I don't think it necessary to buy the latest Flagship phones from any of the major phone brands or even many of their high-end models. When introduced the Samsung 21 FE 5G had many positive reviews with one major complaint, for its high price, considering it was supposed to be a value product.After a bad drop of a OnePlus 7T that killed the screen of my wife's phone, it was time to order two new phones [that is, new for us], one for her and one for me. I'm a tech guy and I always order two of the same phones since it's easier for me to support a single model of phone. Having used Samsung phones years ago but then moving to ZTE and the OnePlus, these S21 FE phones have been terrific after one month of use and renewed my interest in Samsung phones. The phones arrived in like new condition without any marks or scratches on either phone. Unlike the new models these both came with 20W chargers and good quality 5ft cables. These phones have a plastic case which I prefer, as plastic is less fragile than glass, which is another reason for me to NOT buy flagship phones. I am also not so concerned with the appearance or color of the phones since I immediately put them in a case and install tempered glass screen protectors on all my phones.Among the many positives are the 120HZ screen response is a pleasure to use, battery life has been excellent lasting for more than a day for normal use including text, calls, email, YouTube and some streaming, terrific camera, good stereo speakers, charges very quickly with the supplied chargers but also with the 25W aftermarket chargers that I have for these phones. Both Fingerprint and Face recognition work consistently and more quickly than other phones I have used. Bluetooth and WiFi connect quickly without any dropouts, and speed on T-Mobile 5g for phone and Home Internet has been consistent within the T-Mobile performance spec for my location. I am not a gamer so I can't provide a meaningful review for that.The only negative I can report is for the amount of Samsung bloatware and the numerous and annoying notifications, which can luckily be turned off. These are two excellent phones that I bought for less than half the price of one new one. And the Amazon renewed program is a good and safe option for many purchases as it also includes a 90-day return policy if there is any dissatisfaction with the product.

My phone has no scratches, dings, chips or marks, looks brand new. My son set it up for me, then I did the Smart Switch to transfer everything from my other Samsung S21 phone into this one. . So far everything seems to be working just fine and I am very happy and pleased with this purchase. This S21 FE refurbished cell phone is a little bigger than my original S21, a little heavier too but that's ok. I am still using my original S21 for phone calls so can't say how it works that way. I may someday if I have issues with my other phone. It probably would work fine by how it is operating now. Charges quickly and seems to hold a charge a bit longer than my other S21, which is nice. I do wish there were more color options for the home screen. Otherwise, I am very happy with this refurbished S21 FE cell phone. I highly recommend this cell phone. I am on a low, fixed income, so to be able to buy this high of a quality cell phone and save so much money, is great!! Thank you Amazon for selling these and thank you to the seller for providing such a good quality product at such excellent savings!

Got this phone in July, it was perfect, exactly what I needed! I loved it! Although I could never get a call to come through on any device that was blue toothed, I could have sound but not for the call. Within a week of the return date passing, the wifi setting will not work. I try to turn it on and nothing happens, I even reset my phone and I still have this issue. My battery now will not hold a charge longer than a few hours, even if I'm not on it and nothings running. I have to charge it at least once during the day, if not twice no matter how much I'm on it. So between the no wifi, the battery that wont stay charged, and the bluetooth issues I am upset with my purchase. I have reached out multiple times to them and they have not responded to me. I have even gone to other service centers, and they said I can't do anything without contacting the seller. I am mad at this! It's a brand new phone and I am looking into another new one, which is upsetting because I just bought this one! Will not buy again!!Upon further research it seems at some point this phone, samsung s 21 fe, will have issues, bluetooth, wifi, charging, etc. Everything I looked at people were having the same wifi issue, or some sort of other issue. Would not recommend this phone, splurge a little more and upgrade to a samsung s21

Overall a decent phone. Pretty good battery optimization features, and I appreciate the security options (Knox and secure folder). The zoom is very respectable. After 15 it seems a little bit distorted but that's to be expected. The software does a good job enhancing and cleaning up the 30x. Lots cheaper than more current ones, with basically the same effective usefulness. Not perfect, the plastic back was a bit scuffed. The battery health is a bit suspect, I'll keep an eye on it.

The Galaxy S21 FE 5G is fast, sleek, and has an excellent camera. The display is bright and smooth, and the battery easily lasts all day. Great value compared to other flagship phones.

I desperately needed a new phone, but the prices of the newer ones are prohibitive. I decided to look for a good used one. I came across this one, and I decided to order it. I used the smart switch app to transfer my information, settings, etc., to this from my old Samsung phone. That was seamless. Everything worked great. But I was unable to switch it on the Xfinity app or online. I ended up taking it to the Comcast office, and they quickly had the problem fixed.The condition of the phone is excellent, as was advertised--no scratches or dents or cosmetic issues of any kind. The battery seems to last a long time. The screen is clear and bright, and the sound is great!
