There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The exterior of the phone is almost like new. There is a very fine scratch on the screen that I only notice when holding the phone up to a light. Never notice it in daily use.
The only bad thing is the battery life. I average about 3 hours a day of screen on time, and I usually end the day with 10% or less if I don't charge during the day. Again, that isn't a terrible thing in my case since I got this specifically to use less than my other phones, but could be inconvenient when traveling or other long days.
I did spend sometime talking to Amazon customer service because the phone did not come with an IMEI number printed anywhere on the box or the paperwork. Our carrier, in order to determine if the phone was suitable needed this number. I was given a method to do that, by Amazon customer service but could not get the IMEI number. The person that I spoke with from Amazon was amazing and very helpful, and really tried to get me the IMEI number from the 3rd party seller. I believe that never happened.
From some of the reviews of this phone I was lead to believe that this phone came equipped with the eSim capability-- which was not so.
I talked to my carrier who told me to swap the Sim from the old phone (Android) into the new iphone. Cracked the Android's case and found the Sim card was too big and thick to fit into the iphone. I then ordered a Sim card from my carrier--(3 days wait) . The Android (really old) phone would not download the Move to IOS app. With the new sim, I got it going, and have manually repopulated the apps I was using.
It is working great now. My thanks to all the great efforts of Amazon customer service!
My lesson learned: don't let your Android phone get too old.
Maybe the 3rd Party seller lesson learned: include the IMEI number printed somewhere!
So when the new iPhone SE (2020) was released I was really tempted to get it, but the pandemic had basically stopped any purchasing of anything for me at the time. Now in September of 2021, with the battery in my old phone failing, it was time to do something.
I decided to check out what Amazon might have in their "renewed" products and was surprised to find that they now have "Renewed Premium", which offers a year's satisfaction guarantee. That meant, in my mind, I could send this thing back if it wasn't good or turned out to be a lemon, so I sprung for it.
First of all, this one came in a nice box, oversized, and obviously sturdy enough to protect everything inside. It comes with an information packet describing what "premium" means, along with a quick start guide. The inclusion of a standard wall charger was nice, but I have a number of chargers already, not to mention my iPad Pro charger. I'll get back to that in a minute.
Another thing that was nice to have included was a tool for removing the SIM card tray. Nice, but it turns out that with the new iPhone SE you can use eSIM! More on that as well in a minute.
Now first of all... This phone looks gorgeous. The red color and the black front make for an awesome combination. All surfaces are smooth as if it was a brand new phone. Turning it on shows the screen is working perfectly, with even back lighting all across to each corner.
The first thing I checked was the "battery health". Amazon promises that with their renewed premium phones the battery would at least be at ninety percent of capacity, so I immediately checked.
Ninety-eight percent! Eight percent better than what they promised. Not bad at all!
So it turns out that this phone supports fast charging. So that means my phone gets charged on the desk where my iPad Pro sits, because the charger for that is a high capacity charger. The iPhone SE charges up easily in a little over an hour, which means no need to plug it in over night. In fact, I plug it in before bed, but it's plugged into an outlet controlled by Alexa and that wont come on till in the morning. The phone charges up to capacity before I go to work!
Now for setting up the service, the iPhone SE (2020) supports eSIM, which means getting set up with Mint Mobile (or any service that supports eSIM) was as easy as... Well, I went to Mint Mobile's website, checked my location, checked phone compatibility, chose my service plan, then chose eSIM at check out. A few minutes later a QR code appeared on the screen of my computer that I scanned with the iPhone SE, and a few seconds later I had 4G/LTE and everything ready to go.
eSIM is the way to go. It is, just trust me on that.
After about a week of using the phone, on some days like I normally do and on other day literally trying to cause it run dry of battery or trying to get it to malfunction, this little phone is holding up way better than I could have anticipated. I believe I can safely say my iPhone 5s can be retired for good.
By the way. Get a cover. This phone has a glass back, which means it can be charged wirelessly, but it also means you can break it easily. I got a simple transparent back cover with a raised bezel around the edges. It cost about 9 dollars, came in the same day as the phone.
I would recommend this phone and the Amazon Renewed Premium program. Yes the cost of the phone was more than it would have been with renewed only, but being able to return the phone for up to a year is worth it.

Reviewed in Mexico on May 25, 2024
When I opened the box, I was very impressed. The phone was absolutely like brand new. No scratches, the screen was perfect and everything worked. I set it up and everything went smoothly. It charged with no issue and the battery life, so far (its only been a few days) seems good.
The only tiny issue that I can find so far is that the phone doesn't come with the pin device that opens the SIM card slot. Not a huge issue at all as I have a couple of them, but someone else might not.
As for setting it up, there was no issue at all. It connected to my WiFi without problems and updated itself as soon as it connected.
Now I still have to add it to my wireless phone plan, but I expect that will be very easy.
I would recommend Canadian Outlet (company that fulfills Amazon's requests) as like I said, I was extremely impressed by the phone that I received and it was also a very good price.
As for the Amazon side, product arrived on-time and was packaged well for shipping.
