Review on Renewed Samsung Galaxy S7 in Gold - 32GB and Locked to Verizon Wireless by Aneta Janek ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is okay, it's not a waste of money!

I bought the phone on the 20th of February 2022, that is, at the time of writing the review, a month had passed. Before that I went with Samsung A5 (2022). I can not say that I experienced an indescribable delight after the purchase. Yes, I wanted this particular model, but when I picked it up at home, not in the shop window, the first thought was "I bought my Samsung A5 again, only twice as expensive." There was a feeling that I was cheated, and I was seduced. Now these thoughts have left me, because I have a really good phone. But the emotions "WOW!" never received it. (After the purchase, I was pleased with a gift from the store - a small simple tablet from Samsung. A trifle, but nice) Feelings when using this smartphone are still different from using a Samsung non-flagship model. As already mentioned above, the CAMERA is the MOST juice! One of the most top and wonderful cameras on smartphones! But the fingerprint scanner is very, very upset. It works worse than on Asus for 11 thousand (alas, I don’t remember the model, but this is far from a flagship phone). And, of course, much worse than the iPhone of the latest generations. Often the phone is blocked if you put your finger on it. No matter how many times I redo the print, the effect is the same. Sometimes it's easier to enter the password manually. At first I was afraid to hold the phone in my hand without a case. It looked like it was about to slip out of his hands. But after 2 weeks, I took a chance to get it out of a huge shockproof case and still go without this bandurina. Not a single scratch on the glass (only on the front film). Dropped only from a small height, nothing cracked. BUT! Be extremely careful if you decide to purchase this phone. Replacing glass costs half the price of the phone itself (yes, exactly 20 thousand). In general, the phone is good. If I could, I'd give it 4.5 stars. But it still didn't make it to 5 stars. It's a pity.

Pros
  • Pleasant to hold in hand, good design, AMAZING CAMERA (actually, that's why I took this phone), quite fast, decent battery, fast charging, wireless charging, VR support.
Cons
  • The fingerprint scanner (more details in the comments), like any android, sometimes likes to droop a lot, hang. It's not uncommon to have accidental taps on the screen when holding the phone in your hand, which interferes with typing or playing games (the reason is that the screen has no bezels, and mind you, this is not even an Edge!). The terrible sound of the speaker (I think it is connected with dust and moisture protection. By the way, there is only one speaker). More in the comments
