Galaxy S7 G930A 32GB AT&T Unlocked 4G LTE Quad-Core Phone w/ 12MP Camera - Black Onyx

I don't know how many people are still looking for a replacement galaxy S7...locked on the Verizon system...but if you are, this is the phone your looking for. Fair price and in excellent condition. Simply move the sim card over and your in business. The phone itself is aging itself out due to it not being able to upgrade to newer android operating systems. The newer apps won't run on the phone, and this is only going to get worse. It never had much internal storage, even with an optional storage card. But....it was ahead of its time with features and is still a good phone today.

I was really worried about purchasing a "used" cell phone but I figured if something was wrong, I could always ask for a replacement. Didn't have to, thank goodness. The phone arrived exactly when it was supposed to and was packaged well. It did not come with any original box or printed material or charger but that was OK. There was a little dirt on the edges from being in a protective case but it all cleaned off nicely. No scratches or blemishes anywhere. The screen was NOT scratched in any way and all works very nicely. My old phone bit the dust and I didn't want to pay the exorbitant prices that Verizon charges for this phone. ($33/mo for 24 months) This phone was half the cost of Verizon. The only downside, it did not come with a Nano Sim card. No problem, you can go to Verizon and they'll install a new sim card and if you aren't changing plans, it won't cost a dime. Yippee! And I asked Verizon what size SSD card it would support. Would you believe 128gb.....wow. I didn't buy one from Verizon (I'll get one from Amazon) but I did buy a new case which was overpriced but what the hey. All is good.

First off, it is a magnificent device. Beautiful, fast, feature packed, and light. Buying new on Amazon saved me over $150 from being under contract by big red. But, had I been able to wait until Thanksgiving, Verizon had some super deep discounts on phones. But, my beloved Galaxy S3 developed a problem in the power button (exactly 3 years old) so I had to get a new phone much sooner than I wanted.It's great having some of the new features in this phone, but, some of the new features need some refinement.- The AlwaysOn display is nice, but it needs to have WAY MORE customization ability, and it really NEEDS to let 3rd party apps use it. The #1 reason that Samsung gives for this feature is to keep you from having to press the power button so often just to see time and notifications. But I want to see the temperature outside too, so I have to turn the main display on anyway.- Notifications (sound, vibration, LED) have been changed so much, and the different Android forum boards are chock-full of complaints about the loss of certain notification features. I don't mind needing to download a new app to get what I want, but my Galaxy S3 could do it without an extra app.- The camera is great. It's 12Mp but with this new Double-Pixel technology. It's suppose to really excel in low light conditions. My small testing of this showed improvements in picture quality of low light in about half of the pictures I took. The best improvement is in room lighting where it is dimmed mood lighting near you, and then the area in the distance also has some dimmed lighting. The close area is represented well in the picture and so is the other area that has its own lighting. Other pics that didn't do so well had only one source of dimmed lighting.But my favorite feature of the camera is its speed. I often take pictures of groups of people and I take many rapid-fire shots at a time in the hopes that I will get one or two pics where everyone has the right expression and looking in the right direction. My S3 was quite capable of this, and I'm glad to report that the S7 is even faster, and the shots I get are a lot cleaner (less of my own jitters).But I do have a gripe. Switching from Photo mode to video mode is annoying. First off, there isn't an icon that lets you switch from one mode to the next. It's a Record button (red dot). But, it starts recording instantly. You wouldn't think this to be a problem, except that the video aspect ratio and size of the target is different when switching from photo (4:3 12M) to video. This causes you to have to change where you are standing and change the angle you were originally aiming when in photo mode. You find yourself with several false-starts before actually videoing what you wanted. Annoying. Bring back the icon that lets me switch to video mode so that I can adjust my framing before I start recording.The double-press of the home button to launch the camera is cool, but it doesn't work as often as I'd like. It seemed to work better before I had enabled and setup the fingerprint recognition. My guess is that the two features are fighting each other.- Fingerprint recognition is cool. I just wish it worked more reliably. Too often it says I need to hold my thumb on it longer, or to wipe the screen. I've set up all 4 fingerprint IDs, each having about 10 different print pictures, with my thumb from different holding angles, but it still has trouble from time to time.- I love Wireless and Fast Charging. And I love the animation on the screen showing you where your charge is coming from. When wireless charging, a cool white exploding ring comes from the middle of the screen (and then is gone). When charging from the usb port, that white exploding ring comes from the bottom of the screen (near the usb port). I've had no problem with Fast Charging either. USB and Wireless both do great (even with the holster cover I use).- Battery life seems good so far. I'm so worried about what the battery life will be in a couple of years. Will I find myself searching rooms for a wall outlet to charge my phone like I see so many iPhone users doing. I kept extra batteries with me for my GS3 when I knew I was going to be away from my chargers the full day. When I'd get to 20% power, I'd put in a fresh battery. Then when I got home, I could charge them all at the same time. With a non-removable battery, I'm nervous of the future. Fast Charging is nice, but I'm not always near a charger. Will this battery start to lose its longevity in a year?

Love it more and more each day. Note, it did contain a Verizon SIM, so it could be activated online. (The SIM is smaller than the one in my S5 so I could not move that SIM.) The day I got it Verizon's activation service wasn't working so I had to do the support agent chat thing, but they got it activated. I was able to move the SIM from my wife's S3 to my old S5 and get her going in no time with my old phone. No need to go to the Verizon store and wait hours in either case, which may be your concern buying it this way.Great battery life, fast to do everything, awesome camera.I only wish the screen was completely flat so I could put a glass protector on it. Going with a plastic one, but am worried about breaking the screen, which, btw, doesn't show ANY finger prints. How do they do that?

Samsung is a good brand; the s7 is an excellent phone. This would have been my second.And on that bases I would recommend buying one. And the sale price of a refurbish phone is also in-line with market.Notwithstanding, I had to return this phone. The particular phone had GPS problems. Even in open sky and interstate, it would say GPS signal cannot be located. Also, while WIFI did work, I noticed that the signal strengths wasn't quite as good as my other S7.The other things is that I took answers given this phone will work with non Verizon networks at face value. The answer isn't that simple.The basic features will work. But key features like redial recent, call return, easy access to voice mail, will not. That's because while the GSM is unlocked, it's unlocked for international dialing not US. And this was confirmed my my experience ("the internation number you have dialed is not available to your service). It was confirmed by the US GSM carrier. And being a the persistent sort, took it to a friend who repairs cell-phones. And before I could tell him these problems, he rattled off a list even more than I have encountered.
