SAMSUNG Galaxy S22 128 GB Green (Renewed)

I must admit that I was slightly skeptical about buying a refurbished phone but this particular phone has opened my eyes to what's possible as I transitioned from a Sansung Galaxy A32 64GB to this masterpiece of a 256GB device! Even though I enjoyed my simple and uncomplicated A32 (which is perfect for luddites, by the way 😉), I remained unenvious of those who think spending BIG 💵💵💵💵 on a (smart) phone could ever be a good idea. But, with this purchase, I acquired the (secret) formula for having my 🍰 and eating it, too! Refurbished doesn't mean "second-hand" or "second-rate" in terms of quality, functionality, features and user-friendliness. I now see that it is possible to make a SMART phone purchase and not pay a DUMB price for it! When paired with a case and screen protector purchase from JETech (also available here on Amazon and reviewed separately) this was a quantum leap forward for me. The phone was in near perfect physical condition (only some minor scratches on the glass and a small gouge/dent on the metal border). This phone in it's satin-smooth, pearl-white finish is totally stunning and is as esthetically pleasing to look at as it is to hold. Samsung also packed a TON of goodies into this small device! It has performed nothing short of flawlessly out of the box and set-up using the Smart Switch App, though initially challenging, worked exceptionally well in the end! I may recommend getting a transfer USB-C Type cable to facilitate a (faster and hassle-free?) transfer from one phone to the other, though. But, so far, I do not regret this absolutely 💯 phone purchase!! A small sacrifice of that "new phone smell" 😉 did NOT mean a sacrifice of functionality and features AT ALL!!

The Samsung Galaxy S22 in Bora Purple is a standout phone with a sleek, modern look. The color is vibrant and eye catching, and the build quality feels solid and premium. Performance is fast and responsive, making everyday tasks feel smooth. The camera captures sharp photos with great detail, and the display is bright with rich colors that look great for streaming or browsing. Being factory unlocked adds flexibility with carriers, and the 128GB of storage is plenty for apps, photos, and videos. For the price, the quality, durability, and overall functionality make this a strong value and a great upgrade choice.

NOT FACTORY UNLOCKED! I didn't realize this immediately because it is not specifically sim-locked, and data and calling worked fine. Fast forward 6 months, I get an email from work telling me I'll be kicked off the MDM policy (work email on personal phone) unless I update my OS. Evidently it was a Verizon phone, which can only receive software updates if you have Verizon SIM card. I have spent days trying to get support from Samsung, Verizon, AT&T, Amazon, and the Amazon seller only to be told to pound sand >:[ It would seem my only option now is to take a risk with leaked / pirated firmware flashing, which I'm worried will trip the Knox security (which is the only reason I bought the phone in the first place, as Knox security was required by my employer). The phone itself is also disappointing. I started with a OnePlus 5t, which I was very happy with. When I was required to get a Samsung, I went to an A52 5g. The fingerprint sensor and face recognition were both so bad that unlocking the phone was a massive chore (something I do dozens of times a day). I suffered through this for a little while before upgrading to the S22. I very much resent the trend of under-display sensors which do not perform as well as their more visible counterparts. The S22 ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is vastly better than the optical one on the A52, but it still is inferior compared to a sensor on the back of the phone like on my older OnePlus. Heck, even my old galaxy S5 had a better fingerprint sensor. The face detection is a little better than the A52, but not as good as the OnePlus 5t. It really struggles in low light, and must be directly in front of your face. Nobody does face detection as well as Apple, but that's probably due to patent limitations (and I refuse to go back to iphone until they allow sideloading). One notable issue both the A52 and S22 suffer is an inability to detect they are in my pocket. I must deliberately place the phone with the screen facing outwards or else the fingerprint reader will constantly register false attempts against my leg (which will lock you out of using biometrics) Battery life is not impressive. Once again the 5t was better. This may not be entirely fair b/c I do use the always-on display, but on the other hand the processor should be much more efficient for how much newer it is. I mostly believe this is similar to the issue of constantly waking up in my pocket. A proper proximity sensor could have solved this rather than just using the selfie camera, which is again another example of form over function (It also seems like samsung doesn't even attempt to detect being in you pocket in order to reduce battery / ignore touch screen).

I received the device quickly, and it was very easy to set up. The seller provided outstanding customer service and was very helpful throughout the process. I am extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend this seller—reliable, professional, and kind.

Came in pristine condition. Ive gotten and been using mine for a week now and so far so good. No scratches or dents. Looks practically brand new. Works amazing. The only fault i find is the battery drains relatively quickly with continuous use so i have to charge it by nightfall, unlike the brand new phones that can last more than a day of continuous use before needing to charge. However, considering its a refurbished phone, and not a brand new one, the issue it comes with could have been much worse so it doesn't really bother me tbh. So far I've brought my charger to work with me every day since purchasing however I end up not needing to plug it in until I get home at the end of the work day. So I'd say the battery issue is not that huge a deal. Otherwise, the phone is AMAZING. Camera is good, features are good. No issues at all .

Despite buying it in acceptable condition. The phone looks brand new [mostly] and it's more importantly it works perfectly 👌 with zero problems so far. Battery life is also good.

So I've always been skeptical of buying refurbished items but my sister did it so I kinda thought why not? I bought this from the seller Wireless Source back on the 17th and I and received it on the 20th. So it was delivered quickly. It came in a brown box with a printed stickt label detailing what's inside. Upon opening the box, the phone box was wrapped nicely in packaging. I was surprised the seller had placed the phone into another box but super glad they did because it was STROMING! After taking the phone out of the box, first impressions was DAMN! The color is gorgeous and slick, the seller already put on screen protector. It was pretty much brand new! It had no scratches, chips, missing piant, absolutely NOTHING. It came with a charger and the pin to open the sim card area. The phone did come in dead so I immediately placed it on the charger. After about an hour give or take (I went to Walmart so came back so now exactly sure when it was fully charged) it was charged, and I turned it on with no issues. I set up the photo manually which was super simple to do after I inserted my sim card. I didn't need a code or anything it just asked me if I wanted to use the Sims card or use a new one. Once I verified that I wanted to use the old Sims card, it immediately recognized it as AT&T and asked me to click okay to switch over. Done. All my apps are on and updated. Everything is set to my liking and I've had no issues at all. I've had the phone for 2 full days now and the phone actually automatically adjust the brighteness if you are outside or in a dim environment. Just be careful because you have to readjust the brightness whenever you like it after. The phone battery life is pretty darn good. I'm currently at 45% and it's 5:07pm where I'm located. The phone has been used actively since 8am off charger. The camera quality is fantastic. Volume and sound is phenomenal. There is lots of storage and I have plenty more of exploring to do on the phone. I have let the phone die and had no problems with charging and turning back on. It will let you add a fingerprint for protection later one which I thought was cool because I didn't have to set thay up right away. Samsung is just the best for that. I bought a case to match the phone as well. I absolutely love the phone so far. The only downside, in my opinion, is that I can not add an SD card. Other then that, it's an exceptional phone. I will definitely update later if anything starts happening or I find cool stuff regarding the phone but so far so good!

I purchased this phone from Edge Cellular and when I tried to use the camera for a video call, take photos, etc., the phone would overheat and crash, shutting off and on multiple times. Amazon customer service said I had to take it up directly with the seller (even though it was amazon refurbished) and see if there seller still had a Samsung warranty on the product. I could not return the phone through amazon because it was overheating and phones that overheating may have battery issues so it is a safety hazard. The seller, Edge, said they would take the phone and gave me a shipping label to mail it directly to them. I mailed them the phone and tracking shows delivered over a week ago and I still have not received a refund or credit to my Amazon account even though I have in writing that they would give me a refund if I returned the phone to them. It's not worth the hassle, as I even had to buy another phone before returning this one.

Estuve revisando diferentes vendedores aqui y en otras tiendas en linea, finalmente me decidí por este proveedor, el equipo lo adquiri hace 14 días, la realidad es que no encontre ningún vendedor que no tuviera criticas malas, pero este en particular tenía muy pocas, asi que me anime a pedir el telefono, el cual vino en perfecto estado, solo tiene unos pequeños puntos en el marco de la camara que no se perciben a simple vista, le doy un 9.9. Al ser el modelo "estandar" la bateria es de tan solo 3700mha por lo cual si necesitas un telefono al que le dure mucho la batería este no es el indicado, fuera de eso funciona a la perfección, muy buena camara, realizo todos mis pagos con NFC, la carga reversible funciona sin ningun inconveniente, y en general todo excelente, unicamente cuando juego wild rift el equipo se calienta y aun con mas velocidad si tienes aplicaciones en segundo plano. La conexión DeX funciona muy bien, por lo que si no tienes computadora y tus necesidades no son muchas puedes usar el telefono que reacciona muy bien en cualquier pantalla o monitor. De momento me llevo un muy buen sabor de boca, me parece que el unico inconveniente es la batería pero no es tema de amazon renewed, si no que el equipo asi fue fabricado, mas adelante si noto algun cambio en el rendimiento escribire otra critica pero por ahora, muy contento con el resultado.

Viene bloqueado y Amazon solo me pidió devolver el celular pero no me regreso el dinero

Esta en buenas condiciones obvio como es un teléfono reacondicionado tiene ligeras marcas de uso en pantalla y en marcos no tan exageradas son aceptables, en cuanto al rendimiento espectacular y la batería normal como es de 3700 mAh es normal que se le acabe en unas 5 o 6 horas de uso normal si tú eres un usuario exigente este celular no es para ti mejor vete por el plus que tiene más capacidad de batería, me encantó la verdad recomiendo al vendedor al 100 y llegó antes de lo esperado

Arrived unscratched, unlocked and like new. Working well

Ligeros detalles de uso, hasta el momento todo bien espero así siga un buen tiempo
