    It came in excellent condition and unlocked. Lol I was nervous, at first, when I read reviews. It had a few updates when first booting up, but that wasn't an issue.

    I did have one issue (not with the phone). My mint mobile sim would not work in the phone. So mint gave me an esim and deactivated my regular sim. Now, my old phone was no longer active and as it didn't take esims. After several chats with them, they said my phone was locked. Uh, no, it's not. It is easy to check that it wasn't. Then they wanted me to factory reset my phone. Oh lawd, I was so done with them. Anyway, they said they needed to escalate to someone else and they would call me back. SMH.... I no longer have a working phone to receive calls.

    So.... long story short lmao At&t put in their sim and it works perfectly!

    Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2024
    Color: Phantom BlackVerified Purchase
    It came a day early which was a pleasant surprise. I was skeptical about the quality but figured I would try it with the return policy. Came with no scratches on the back, no scratches on the screen, just a few minor nicks on the frame near the power and volume buttons and some scratching near the charging port—things that would happen anyway within a few months of normal use.

    For the price point, I was more than happy with the quality it came—nothing major or very noticeable at all and I am very picky when it comes to tech. Phone was unlocked as advertised and I've had no software problems this far.

    As far as the phone goes, I've had no issues except for the in screen fingerprint reader, which is a major downgrade from the dedicated buttons from previous generations, bur this has to do with Samsung and not the seller.

    1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT PURCHASE - PHONE LOCKED
    Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024
    Color: GreenVerified Purchase
    Do not buy a phone from this seller. They advertise the phones are unlocked, but they ARE NOT. They know they have this issue since they include directions on how to fix it. They tell you to connect to wi fi and download current OS. They specifically say they know this happens, but this will cure it. Well, it doesn't cure it. The SIM will work for about two minutes and then it locks back up. Since I was porting my number, this has left me without a phone. It took me hours this afternoon to port the number and get everything set up at ATT, then the phone doesn't work.
    I have emailed the seller several times with no response. Since I don't have a phone, I can't call them.

    Very disappointed. I have never written a review before, good or bad. I will spread the word about this seller. Shame on them for selling something they know has issues.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The phone is great, but... flashing is required
    Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2024
    Color: Phantom BlackVerified Purchase
    I gave 4 stars, the phone looks great, preforms well, worth the cost.

    The main problem with phone is it's not factory unlocked, it's carrier unlocked.

    However phone can be factory unlocked by flashing unlocked firmware.

    Once phone is flashed using factory unlocked firmware, the phone is 5 star all the way.

    Takes couple hours to find, download and flash unlocked firmware.

    Would be nice if seller did the flashing before selling the phone.

    Other than that no complaints, I recommend the phone and the seller, buyers need to understand to get a completely factory unlocked phone, you need to flash ulocked firmware on your phone.

    Everything is much faster than my S10 (2019 model). I was expecting an improvement over a 4 year old model but this exceeded my expectations. Camera is amazing : 30x zoom quality greatly exceeded my expectations. Finally a finger print sensor that works reliably. That was a constant annoyance for me with S10 and spouse with S10e. I like the smaller form factor of this base model that easily fits in a pant pocket. I like the image color better than my work S21FE that has colors that seem oversaturated. The display on this model is said to be 40% brighter than previous and its seems plenty bright to me in full sun. Overall I am quite pleased with my purchase at least at this point one week later.

    Seems like new, can't find a scratch on it. Easy setup too, and transfer from my old phone (S8). Great deal

    5.0 out of 5 stars In all respects equivalent to a new phone

    My venerable OnePlus 7t died - screen went black and it would cost more than the phone was worth to repair. I compared this refurbished s23, against the OnePlus 10 pro and there was a significance price advantage. I was a little cautious having read reviews where people said that their phone was scratched or damaged or some other ways not what they were looking for. My s23 came in a generic box not the manufacturers original packaging. There was a Samsung charger and type c to type c cable included in the box together with a pin for opening to insert the SIM card. Plastic film covered the front and the edges of the phone. I could find neither a mark nor a scratch on the phone. I have been setting it up and using it for a couple of weeks and have experienced no errors or malfunctions. Even better it almost immediately received the AI update that was the real difference between the s23 and the s24. So including taxes, for a price of approximately $572 Canadian dollars I now have an excellent flagship equivalent phone.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Battery doesn't last as long as my old phone. Have to recharge it two or three times a week.

    Not a bad phone, but it should come with a manual that explains how to use it and how to fix problems. I'm an old foggie who has difficulty with modern electronics. Needs to come with instructions on how to set it up and to fix problems. Like how to make it take screen shots.

    It's very nice and not a bad price either, one of the cameras is slightly discoloured when I zoom but I still love how good everything is and haven't found any other problems

    I saw no scratches or signs of use on the phone aside from the SIM slot hole. The battery is also in great condition, at least 95% of its original capacity or higher. Of course, your experiences will differ but my unit is a steal.
