Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ with 256GB in Aura Glow for GSM Users by Genene Locson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Absolutely incredible gear!

Buy from Re-Cell. I saw a lot of reviews on here about unreliable shipping and broken phones so I had a nervous breakdown. I received my refurbished phone a day early and it was beautifully packaged. There were no smudges on the phone, not even hairline scratches. Big shout out to Re-Cell, thanks for being so awesome! Phone? Let me just say that you can make it absolutely perfect by going into the extensive settings menu. If you're used to another Android (I had an LG), you can customize the three home buttons at the bottom. If you wear a tempered glass screen protector like I do, they have a setting to adjust the screen sensitivity to compensate. The side power button can be programmed to double-tap any app or open the camera. Kill him Samsung! Let's face it, even as you scroll through this review, the S Pen and its size are the reason you're here. The screen is big and beautiful, and its rounded edges bleed. These edges make this phone so easy to hold. You can instruct your phone to automatically open a specific app when you lift the stylus out. If you're an artist, the S Pen has real sensitivity. I used a brush and it reacted like real paint. If I had left the pen on the page, the "paper" would have absorbed more ink. Very cool. I've bookmarked it for battery life because while it'll get you through a work day with normal use, it'll probably get you home by 25%. I think for streaming and heavy use it might need to be charged at midday. The fingerprint sensor worked well but not with a protective hardened screen even though the screen I bought was custom made for the sensor. Even with the extra sensitivity setting enabled, I still had to press too hard to register my thumb and unlock the phone every time. Again, this isn't a downside to the phone, but something I wanted to share as everyone here (should) wear a screen protector. I ended up just putting it on swipe because I really have no reason to ever lock my phone. Face ID might be a better choice if you have a screen protector as I believe that hard squeezing the phone every day can damage some of the pixels. This is an amazing device and it never ceases to amaze me. If you're on the fence, GET IT! Black is cheaper for some reason. It looks way better live because it's constantly reflecting the blue sky outside, giving it that amazing raven feather effect. The only way I can describe it is (Never again. Will I have an ugly phone). I'm up to my ears on this!

Pros
  • Outstanding Overall Performance
Cons
  • Infinitely Sluggish
