Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G US Version, 128GB, Phantom Violet - Unlocked Smartphone by Bhavin Kalant ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not worth the money, would not recommend this product.

To replace my aging Samsung Galaxy S7, I splurged on this. The phone itself cost roughly $65 at the time of purchase (wireless headphones were the only accessory available in a "white" store). We were very dissatisfied with the camera. The S8 no longer has quick focusing like the S7. While color reproduction was never Samsung's strong suit (the company consistently oversaturates colors and leans toward red), the addition of soap from the autofocus's tight focus rendered the camera absolutely depressing. The set pieces are sold individually. You need a Samsung charger, or fast charging won't be supported, so it's unlikely that an older charger will work with a new Samsung phone (apparently different standards for fast charging on Snapdragon and Exynos) Second, it is not guaranteed that the power is sufficient (ideally 25 W) and that the charger has a USB-C port, even if it is an older Samsung model. This means you'll need to set aside another $2,000 for the charger and another $1,000 for the cord. According to my research, the one included in the kit is fabricated from recycled components, which is why its original state is preferable. As there are no headphones, we will need to budget an additional $1,000–$2,000 to purchase a jack converter or the least expensive wired Samsung with USB-C. Wireless technology has its detractors (including me), and high-quality wireless devices may be pretty pricey. As a result, we paid the price of a budget iPhone but received a smartphone with middle-range specifications (despite the camera's flaws) and worse hardware. Very dissatisfied.

Pros
  • commonly used long ate assembly support
Cons
  • poor quality camera equipment (no headphones, no charger, bundled low quality cable)
