in love with my new phone!

Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Seller: AradSystemCR I was very skeptical about the "Upgrade" promotion, but I need to save money! I have never bought a phone oscilloscope invisible, certainly not to the extent it was used and especially not in this price range, but I'm so glad I did! Note 10 looks brand new! I'm sure it is! Came in the original box, in a Samsung protective film, in a soft case. It appears that all the factory accessories are included: a Samsung fast charger, a USB-C cable (not USB-C, Samsung headphones/earbuds) and a dongle needed to remove/insert the SIM card. The S-Pen was in its compartment on the phone. The battery was 50% charged. Apparently previous Galaxy phones came with an instruction manual in the box? Maybe they stopped doing that? However, the manual wasn't difficult to find online. A printed written note was included stating; that the phone has been tested by AT&T and/or T Mobile and that if you have any questions or concerns please contact the seller: AradSystemCR. Activation: When I first started up the Note 10, it had a Verizon Wireless splash screen before I inserted the SIM card. I'm with Verizon so I was hoping it would be easy - it did! After connecting to my WiFi network, I let the phone fully charge while playing with it for a bit, then turned it off. I moved the SIM card there; new Note 10 and turned the phone back on. As soon as it started I got a text from a friend, before I could reply to the text I got a call. Now I'm really happy! Data and App Migration: I recently read a phone review that recommended Samsung Smart Switch. WOW, it worked flawlessly! I had an issue with data and apps installed on the MicroSD card, which of course this phone can't use. So now I have a folder; _ExternalCard_, which I can't delete because I don't want to risk losing my health data for the last two years. I manually dragged all the photos and videos to the default folder via Windows Explorer. I deleted all music and re-synced PC to Note 10 music app. All in all, the migration and activation took an hour, which is way better than I expected! I had to re-enter my gmail account and all app related passwords. Everything was in the same place as my old Galaxy j7v, all my paired devices were listed but I had to pair them all once before I could use them. The Note 10 didn't appear to have any additional apps - bloated things installed. It didn't have anything from Verizon, AT&T or anyone else, just the standard Samsung/Android apps. I had to install an Android update and restart my computer. I installed the Verizon app from Google Play. My only problems: I choose free shipping which took a week. I knew this happened but maybe I'm just spoiled by Revain Prime, next day shipping. LOL Now I need to learn these awesome new features. S Pen is cool! Hint 10 is so fast! I highly recommend the seller: AradSystemCR, my brother is now looking for his shop and I have 3 good friends who will be there before Christmas. Thank you AradSystemCR! Thank you Revain for contacting us!
