Review on πŸ’» Renewed Samsung Galaxy S9 in Titanium Gray, 64GB for AT&T by Adisorn Srisawam ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

The device was bought in a well-known online store. At the time of placing the order, there was only one modification available, so I did not particularly read the description. The model is the one I was looking for, the price is good. That's what I ordered. During operation, the following became clear: - the device could not automatically receive the settings from my previous smartphone Samsung Galaxy S7, through the proprietary Smart Switch service; - when setting up the device manually, it turned out that many applications that are usually pre-installed in top Samsung models are not in this device; - many applications that were previously available to me in the Galaxy Store were not available for this device; - it was impossible to activate the Samsung Pay application; - when trying to ate the software of the device, I received a message that the latest ates have already been installed. Despite the fact that the version of the installed Android software is 8.0.0 from April 2022, and for this model, since January 2022, a version on Android 9 has been released. Samsung's on-line technical support service checked the IMEI and SN of the device and said that the device will not support any of the functions I requested, because it does not pass the test on their servers. Having studied the topic of flashing "gray" devices, I was still able to install the firmware adapted for 2022 and get all the software ates for the device. But Samsung Pay and Byxbi branded services remained unavailable to me. If modern electronic services are not important for you and you have the desire and opportunity to spend several hours of your time on finalizing the device, you can buy "gray" devices. Otherwise, buy devices from official sellers.

Pros
  • Excellent design, convenient use, the latest OS version, high-quality original accessories, excellent performance.
Cons
  • Low battery capacity or high power consumption. As a result, the charge lasts only for one day, more precisely, a day. In my device, and it turned out to be "gray", Samsung Pay is not available, this is a significant drawback for me.
