Review on πŸ“± Samsung Galaxy A51 Unlocked Smartphone - 128GB Storage, Extended Battery Life, Single SIM, GSM & CDMA Compatible - US Version (Black) by Donnell Cursed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent price NO WIRELESS CHARGING (A51 4G model)

I was looking at a refurbished S10e or a regular refurbished S9. I really liked my S8, but both S8s I've had had a burned screen. Also, I hated the curved screen. Processor is SLOWER. Not that I care. Accessing apps etc. takes a little longer. It doesn't have wireless charging, which is my biggest complaint. But I have a brand new phone that works with Verizon (my carrier) and AT&T when I switch. The screen resolution isn't as high as the Galaxy models, but I'm older and need glasses to see up close, so that wasn't an issue for me. The battery life is stupid long. About 30% better than my two S8s. I added a "supcase" protector which I also received from Revain. It came with a protective film, which I really like. It has a flat screen, so for the most part the case and screen protector work very well. I've noticed that fingerprint recognition (often) crashes when the screen "sleeps". When you wake up the phone (press side button) to wake up the screen, it works much better. The fingerprint reader works with an accuracy of about 90% when the screen is active, with or without the screen protector. Ooooooo. If wireless charging is optional and you don't need a screen above 1080P, I would recommend this phone. I hate Apple so I can't compare it to their products. The cameras are damn good (front and back). I'm not using the highest resolution they can. I like Samsung products so I'm biased. I take most of the photos in my family, so it's good for me. Hope this helps, if so, click the "Review Helped" button. BTW, I bought it on Cyber Monday for $250 instead of $400. Made my decision VERY easy.
