I love my Note 8-N950U

SIMPLY WOW! GREAT! I've been waiting for the Note 8 to drop in price and eventually the price dropped to what I thought was the best price. I contacted the seller: Spartan Tech before purchasing, I was contacted quickly and my questions were answered. I bought a refurbished and unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (O. Grey) N950U. The phone arrived in a sealed box with bubble wrap protecting the phone! I have a universal USB micro cable, a USB-C adapter and a power adapter + cable holder! I immediately inspected the Note 8 and am very pleased with its condition; NO visible scratches on the front screen, back glass, camera glass and screen. There is only 1 micro scratch on the bottom which is not visible when the screen is on and you cannot feel it. There is only 1 tiny scratch on the top and side of the bezel and only a few in the charging port area! The Note 8 came with the SAMSUNG S Pen; no universal pen! The real test was of course the software. I turned on my Note 8, connected to my 5G WiFi, and downloaded all security patches, Oreo updates, and Samsung updates in 30 minutes. I then ran a full diagnostic test of every feature, screen, speaker, microphone, etc., and then checked the performance of the Qualcomm chip. IMEI checks cleared, ALL PASSED with GREAT results! . Finally, the actual test that matters: the SIM card. After inserting my SIM card, the Note 8 offered to restart and my AT&T service + all AT&T "apps" worked fine. (DIRECT TV on the Note 8 is awesome) I used Smart Switch to transfer all the information and immediately started using my NOTE 8. I fine-tuned the settings and changed the phone call quality, data, VM, calls over WiFi, Bluetooth, S-Pen etc. EVERYTHING WORKS and OREO 8 is very fast. Note 8 for 72 hours and this phone is just INCREDIBLY fast after tweaking all the settings!
