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.

Phone arrived in a timely manner, very quick actually. A couple tiny scratches on the side (no big deal, it will be in armor and was expected). Screen was in perfect shape. The phone arrived with only a 20% charge, so before transfer I had to charge it. The supplied cable is "slow charging" only, stated 5.5 hours to charge, and to follow recommended instructions, phone should be charged well to transfer via Smart switch. Used my old cable, went from 5.5 hours to 1.5 hours. The slow charge cable and that there were no camera protectors with the screen protectors would be my only possible issues on my initial setup and transfer. All pixels on the screen appear to work, all touch sensors seem to work.

I have had a Samsung S22 for 3 years now, having gotten it brand new from Verizon, and I'm very happy with its performance. My family member had to buy a new phone when his dog broke his screen, and Verizon gave me an extra SIM card (with 3 yrs free phone number and service) for being a 33 year customer. So I decided to buy another S22, a used one, which is the phone I'm reviewing here. The phone works. It makes calls. It receives calls. The microphone works. The speaker works. It arrived with 10% charge, so I plugged it in with the cord and plug it came with. It charged to 100% as expected. I used the provided Sim card ejection pin to open sim case and install my Verizon Sim card. All of that worked well. Then I picked out the apps that I wanted, and downloaded them without incident. I set up the phone display settings, notifications, and clock, weather and calculator widgets, again without any trouble. I set up the PIN, the pattern, and the fingerprint reader with no problems. Then I looked closely at the cosmetics of the device that I paid a premium price for, because it was described as in "excellent" condition. The front of the phone looks great. The screen glass is pristine. The sides I would say look "very good" with only one small area of deep scuffing. The back of the case has a lot of scratches and burred scuffs, around all four edges as well as around the corner and top edge of the lens assembly. Because of that scratching and scuffing, I would say that this phone is "good" condition rather than "excellent." It's not clean and smooth enough to say the condition is "very good." Function-wise, I will say, with only 20 hours of use to judge by, is very good. And another plus, in my mind, it's that this phone has the 256gig storage, compared with my other S22 that has only 128gigs. So, all in all I'm happy with the phone. I paid probably $50 more to get an "excellent" condition phone than the used phones in good or very good condition; and I don't believe it was graded accurately, and I feel overcharged because it's only a "good" condition phone in my mind. It works so I'm keeping it. Lesson learned as to condition rating system.

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
