Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy S20 5G 128GB - Cloud Blue for GSM Carriers by Kero Kero ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I wasn't thrilled with the product, but it can be used.

The fingerprint scanner is not working. That is, it only works ~15-30% of the time. Other types of blocking, such as a face scan, also do not work, in general, you almost always have to enter a code. The phone is very slippery and without a case it is impossible to grab it comfortably. Perhaps this is a plus, apparently it was specially designed for a case, with an official leather case everything falls into place, the camera does not stick out, a comfortable strong grip, the problem of overheating is not very noticeable and the case does not make it much larger. The phone overheats very much, it burns hands. Really there is a feeling that in sunny weather there is a risk of mechanical damage. In this case, we are not talking about games, just browsing, scrolling and switching between applications. The NFC chip is located somewhere in the middle of the phone, there are often problems with payment, MI6 could be attached in any way and everything is OK, here only in a certain place at a certain angle. I don’t understand why KNOX is needed and restrictions on obtaining ROOT, apparently the manufacturer is not sure about the quality of his software and it can really be broken somehow. The quality of the software is worse than that of Xiaomi, both visually and in terms of stability. There are freezes, and strange behavior in applications. Call quality, GPS and compass all worked better on the MI6. At the time of purchase, it was the only flagship with small dimensions, if this is not important for you, look at the Mi10 or any other flagship. Mi6 was bought in 2022 for ~24k. This one is for 55k. There is a difference in performance, of course, but not so noticeable. In all respects, it is either about the same level or worse, it's sad. (well, yes, of course, except for the screen and the camera)

Pros
  • High-quality sound, small size, capacious battery, premium appearance, cool camera, super screen.
Cons
  • Overheating, fingerprint scanner, not being able to use without a case, not being able to unlock the bootloader without voiding the warranty.
