Samsung - Galaxy A71 A716U 5G Fully Unlocked 128GB - Prism Cube Black (Renewed)

First, I always thoroughly research reviews and weigh the negative reviews seriously, and discerning if there is an theme of overall dissatisfaction-especially on specifics. So, although I did see some negative ones...the majority of reviews were pretty good! So although I understand reviews can be subjective based on preferences and expectations, I have to say my experience with this phone and purchase has been ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! 10 STARS!!!**Second, I did order this one after I made the mistake of not realizing I needed to check compatibility of the carrier on an unlocked phone. I know, I know....but to be fair, before this purchase I haven't had a phone upgrade since 2016-not even 4G, sooo. So if you are looking to upgrade a phone and stay with your carrier, make certain your unlocked phone is also compatible with the carrier you use!**Anyway, back to the review.I ordered this 9pm on a Sunday and received it at 8am Monday via Prime. The box it came in was in excellent condition; completely sealed and not a mark on it. I opened the box, saw what looked to be a phone that was in perfect/brand new condition. No kidding! This phone had not a scratch, scrape, fingerprint on it. It had a clear plastic cover over the screen and came with one SIM/SD card key, one USB plug and one USB cord (in original package).As soon as I plugged it in, it was already charged at 44%. Popped in my SIM/SD card. I powered it on and it was FULLY UNLOCKED for T-Mobile. I started the Smart Switch to transfer my data from my old Samsung. Within less than 20 minutes; all of my data, pictures, videos, apps, messages and all other data was fully transferred to the new Galaxy A71 5G.I unplugged the phone when it was at around 88% and have been using it nonstop for about 7 hours to sign in to all of my apps, take many personal and business calls (long ones), many texts as well as customizing my preferences; and it is STILL only at 36%!Calls are crisp, speed with everything is lightening fast, ringers and sounds are perfect and the phone on speaker and Duo/Meet for video calls are amazing. Creative and vibrant screen/colors make this an extra special gift to myself even better and more enjoyable.I am over the moon with this purchase and my teens can't believe I am now in the Cell Phone 21st Century!KUDOS TO THIS SELLER, WELL DONE!!

I'm not going to lie, I wasn't so sure about ordering an renewed phone from Amazon. In the description, it states that this phone is unlocked. After I purchased this phone, I read multiple reviews stating that this phone doesn't work with total wireless ( which is the carrier i use ). I also read multiple reviews stating that the phone isn't unlocked at all and that it only works with certain carrier's. After reading that, I was disappointed and worried that I was going to have to return the phone for a refund. But, then I received the phone in the mail. And it is in-fact unlocked and works with total wireless. The phone has no scratches, or anything! This phone looks brand new, I could never tell it was renewed. The fingerprint is an amazing feature that works so well! The facial recognition isn't as fast as the iPhone x series, but it does work very well. I enjoy this phone very much, it's worth every penny! And the camera, 😍😍😍. I could be a photographer with only using this phones camera. ( just kidding ). The camera quality is amazing though!

Defective. Phone glitches & turns off by itself. Doesn't power back on when attempting... Have to try several times before it will power back on. Totally disgusted!!

Nothing to complain about where the condition is concerned. No problems experienced thus far, so that's great.

durable , strong, and long battery life

I've been rocking this phone for almost 4 years and will probably get another 2+ out of it AT LEAST. It takes nice photos. Resolution is nice. The price I got was even nicer. I'm pretty casual with my phone, I don't need wireless charging. It has superfast charging capabilities. 120gb is a nice amount, it's a galaxy so it's got a lot of the cool features associated with that name. I thought I heard it's gonna be supported for a bit (fact check me on that one). Bixby and Gemini are there to get freaky if you're into that.I will say if you're chronically on your phone for whatever reason, you might have to charge it about twice, once midday and another at night, but with a superfast charger it's like 20 min to 40% from 15% . If I broke my phone I'd probably buy another one if the price was right (unless I could find a MUCH better phone for ....slightly... more.
