Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2022
I bought this because my S9+ screen scattered. When I tried to have the glass repaired locally, I was quoted $230. No way could I afford another $1000 for a phone right now so I thought I'd try a renewed phone. I found this S10 + 5G note for only around $150 more than the repair. It was newer, larger, more features, 5G, just a beauty so I ordered it.
I liked everything about this purchase. Shipping was lightening fast. The phone seems brand new. The battery life was 96%, for a 3 year old phone, that's remarkable. The aura glow is stunning. The S-pen was a rich purple and worked perfectly. Everything worked great.
Fast forward to Monday when I went to activate it at my provider (Verizon) and make sure I did everything correctly (I did). They told me my replacement value for my cracked S9+ was $700 and for only $500 I could get this years top of the line S22 Ultra. Who would have thought? I honestly hesitated for a moment because I liked this S10 note THAT much. But common sense won out. I just couldn't refuse the most current flagship phone for only around $50 more than this beauty. I ended up being talked into the S22. Had it not been for the huge trade in discount I would have been completely happy with this one. In fact, I think it's prettier than the S22 and I like that the keys are on the left and the S-pen on the right. It's the opposite on the S22. So now I have to go through deleting everything as directed in the paperwork that came with this phone. It's the least I can do to show my appreciation for such a good renewed phone.
So, if you don't have such a high trade in elsewhere and need a phone repair. Check these out instead. I told everyone I'll never pay full price at the dealer again. My first go to will be here..... (After I double check my trade in to make sure there isn't any ridiculously good deals.)
Thank you Chubbietech. I'm really sorry I had to return it.
