Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G US Version 128GB Phantom Black Unlocked Phone by Anastasiia Hrytsenko ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The quality doesn`t fit my expectations, I won`t buy it again.

The shell itself, "stretched" by Samsung on Android, also often raises questions. Annoying little bugs. For example, if the phone is completely discharged, after you put it on charge, it will not turn on by itself. You have to wait a few minutes until the charge reaches 5%, and turn it on manually. Only after the ate, Samsung's hacks removed the requirement to enter a password every 24 hours, but all the same - the password must be entered every 48 hours. If the password consists of letters and numbers, it's annoying. Of course, there is a lot of junk from Samsung itself, which cannot be removed or even disabled. And more recently, they began to put junk from in the appendage, and it cannot be removed either. The phone app is awkward to use. Just like the Weather app or home screen widgets.

Pros
  • I am a fan of various new devices and therefore I try to buy and use all new items almost immediately after the release. This phone was purchased to replace the Note Ultra. Bought in the hope that the fingerprint sensor and the camera will work better. Of the advantages of the phone, I can only name a large amount of RAM and storage of 512 GB. This volume on Android is available only on a couple of gaming smartphones - too large and heavy to be used in everyday life.
Cons
  • Everything else is considered a disadvantage. And if I was somehow ready to put up with something at a price of up to 100 thousand, then with a price tag of 130, my friends, I'm sure this should not be. Let's start with the screen: who told you that all users need a waterfall screen without exception? Doesn't it bother you that Apple hasn't had ANY model with such a screen in its lineup for years? From this screen, the eyes get tired much faster, and it is impossible to read the text that falls on the curved part. Also, you can't supply a good safety glass, only films. By the way, the film that came from the factory peeled off after 1.5 months. The second important drawback is the disgusting work of the chip that ensures the stability of LTE. I tried different operators with the same result: where other phones, which are many times cheaper, keep a stable signal, this one complains that there is no network. And about the speed of switching from Wi-Fi to LTE, I generally keep quiet. For some reason, the phone came out heavier than the Note Ultra, although it has a smaller screen, no stylus, and no SD Card reader. The quality of shooting does not impress me either, and the convenience of the “native” photography program is no good. Even compared to Note Ultra As for the fingerprint sensor, it works quite well, although its placement takes some getting used to. Face unlock is disappointing. Works crookedly and only in a well-lit room.
