SAMSUNG Galaxy S22 Smartphone 128GB, 8K Camera & Video, Brightest Display, Long Battery Life, Fast 4nm Processor, US Version, Pink Gold (T-Mobile) (Renewed)

Great quality product. Great price. No issues
Had a galaxy S9+ for years. Refused to trade it in. Never a fan of getting a phone “just because”. I don’t need the best, ultimate, fastest, highest quality phone every year. So, went ahead and bought this one last year. Figured I would wait a while before posting a review. Fantastic product. Especially for the money. I’d argue you’re getting this at a steal. If you’re looking to upgrade your phone, I’d definitely recommend trying these certified phones here if you’re not a fan of being ripped off with newer phones that depreciate by >30% in a matter of minutes when you can get a like-new phone for cheaper. And this phone has nothing wrong with it. Coming from my past experiences where I tried getting refurbished/used phones (even from mobile carriers) and there was issues with the software or hardware, I can say this is definitely not the case.I’m definitely going to be doing this again in the future. Screw cell phone carriers.

I’m dissapointed
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).

Arrived in excellent condition, phone is awesome.
Mine arrived in such good condition that with a case and screen protector it’s indistinguishable from a brand new phone. First day I used it, it scared me how quickly it depleted its battery, but a couple of days later I can get through the day with no problems, even with some pretty heavy use (at least for me). It was probably installing updates in the background.The phone itself is fantastic, super smooth and fast, very comfortable because of its size and has an amazing camera. Oh, and the screen is probably one of the best out there, just gorgeous.

Pros and cons
The phone is in perfect condition, with no dings or scratches. fast working well.Few issues, it’s draining fast and comes with an average charger and I feel like it’s a bit pricey too.

Llego sin ningún detalle estico, la batería es lo que promete, se calienta algo, pero es por el modelo del teléfono de ahí en fuera todo bien, recomendado

La verdad es la primera vez que compro un equipo reacondicionado por lo que tenia mis reservas sobre la calidad del mismo o si funcionaria sin problemas acá en México. Pero llego en excelente condiciones con cargador y cable originales, el empaque fue lo único genérico. En cuanto a la configuración sin problemas, meti mi chip de Telcel y todo excelente. Ya llevo un mes con él y lo adoro, una de mis mejores compras.
