- Samsung Galaxy S22+ Plus 5G, US Version, 128GB, Phantom Black - Verizon (Renewed)

Was skeptical about buy phones off Amazon. But so far after three phones, I can say it's worth it. Good savings on good quality used phones. They are in excellent condition that they look brand new. They also work well. Bought this s22+ for my son. Good thing about Samsung phones is that, even 3 years old. It's still better than a new iPhone.

Such a great phone! It looks new and functions are fast. I am very happy with this phone.

The phone I ordered was listed as excellent and came with some cosmetic damage around the frame, the front and rear glass was fine and after setting it up and charging it to 100 and running AccuBattery through a full cycle it came in as 85% of the design capacity which exceeds Amazon's criteria of 80%. The battery is almost as bad as my S9 battery for how quickly it discharges and that phone is very old, so I'll be running this phone on locationless power saving mode permanently and using maximum battery protection to keep it from charging over 80%. Honestly Samsung should never have released this line with such a bad battery. The screen is quite a bit larger than my S9 and it not being curved is amazing. Samsung should never have introduced curved screens but... well it happened and I am definitely happy that they went back, although I can't blame misspellings on the poor screen now. Sadly there is no headphone jack or microSD slot as us niche users who adored such technology seemingly don't matter and getting everyone spending money on microtransactions has been the focus for a while now anyway. Tested the camera and it's quite nice, the landscapes of Arrested Development will look like what they actually are, not to mention it's an improvement over the cursed images from the S9 camera I used to use as a "last known photo" generator. Why the resolution of the phone decreased I'll never know but perhaps it's a good thing as the battery can't hold up against a potato. As for using the phone, well I got it working for most things although Duolingo no longer believes I am speaking so there is going to be a bit of faffing about to do. Ideas: The phone functions, it's compatable with something I dunno, the phone does have a brightness slider (weird that was in the ideas list), and the phone weighs about as much as a phone.

👍The seller is definitely one of the best on Amazon. I bought a phone from same seller for my Mom (on her account, so I did not do a review.) And had a great experience then also. For many years, if you PAID for an "excellent" or "like new" phone... you would actually RECEIVE an excellent/like new phone,lol. Newer sellers are coming into market & in a way, scamming ppl. The amount of ppl i know + reviews I've seen of ppl paying for EXCELLENT phones but getting sent- Batteries that are crapped out. Charging ports that don't work. Blown speakers. Locked because previous owners didnt finish paying for phone. Locked because phone was stolen. Banged up/deep scratches/color chipped off.... it's alarming to say the least,lol. So u have to be really careful WHO u buy from nowadays. With this seller i got a phone in THE EXACT CONDITION I PAID FOR. Minus 1 teeny tiny scrape near charging port (that u cant even see unless looking for it.) The phone looks + performs like brand new. 👎The ONLY negative (why i gave 4 star instead of 5.) I paid a little extra for a Tmobile locked phone - but received a Verizon unlocked instead. I stopped buying unlocked 2 yrs ago when I had a problem (different seller.) The phone was a diff carrier before - not all the features worked properly. And updates would not come in, even when manually trying. (I brought it to a Verizon AND Tmobile store to see wtf was wrong,lol.) So was a little bummed this time when ibsaw it wasnt the correct carier. Phone was a birthday gift for my BF, so didnt want any problems. BUT luckily everything works as it should. Phone even updated shortly after being turned on. So it worked out well. But wanted to mention it because it wasn't exactly what I ordered.

I was so hesitant to purchase a refurbished phone online, but I'm really glad that I did. My old phone (S10+) was on it's last leg so I really needed something that wasn't going to break the bank. The phone arrived in good condition with just a few scuffs, but nothing major. It was going to be in a case anyway so that didn't matter. The screen was perfect and all the buttons worked. Everything on it has been running like a dream. Battery life is pretty good for being an older phone. Such an upgrade from my S10+ for a reasonable price.

Great phone, I bought it as a gift, no issues, runs smooth, great quality

Everything seems to work as should and in good shape.

I'll come back to this review every once in a while as I continue to use the phone. EDIT2: 7/9/2023 Okay the line is not going away after locking and waking the phone like it did before. You can see in the second picture, it's faint, but it's there (ignore the orange glow, that's from my old s7 that can't take pictures of other screens without struggling). The fact that it wouldn't go away makes me think it's getting worse. I had to restart it this time to make it disappear. Went ahead and started the refund process because it seems like it's getting worse. Unfortunate because this was labeled as an excellent condition phone too. I guess it's hit or miss what you get when you buy refurbished. I'm not a phone repairman, so I'm not going to be able to open it up and figure it out. I'm just gonna refund this and get a different phone to avoid the problem happening again. EDIT: Okay, it's been 4 days since the review. Woke this morning and unlocked my phone, typical. Was adjusting notification volume settings then all of a sudden BAM, bright PINK (not green this time) line right through the same spot as usually from top to bottom of the screen. Wanted to take a picture with my old phone but was afraid of leaving the error on the screen for too long (was busy using restroom) so I locked the phone and unlocked it again and the line went away. Man... I might return this thing because this is scaring me. So far the phone has been pretty great. One thing's for sure though, it's crazy the difference (s7 to s22+) 2 oz of weight (including cases) can feel while holding it. This thing feels like I'm holding a brick compared to my old phone lol. All of these things that I am giving it accolades for are, of course, from a biased perspective of somebody who has used the s7 since it's launch, so take it with a grain of salt if you are coming from something like an s20 or later. Great/Solid battery, Great performance, Great visuals. Little heavy though. Those are the main points. Since it is refurbished, the only actual visible damage you can see well is the small scratch at the bottom left corner of the screen (as seen in picture) that is on the glass for a length of about 2mm and then goes off to the side a bit. Not a problem though, it's quite out of the way. Saving around $350 just to have a scratch on the screen is quite the deal. I make my phones last, so this thing is going to be built like a tank by the time I'm done putting protective layers and cases on it. (This is the reason for the 4/5 and not 5/5) So far my only real scare with this phone (purchased as an excellent condition renewed s22+ with 256gb storage from Macalegin Electronics) is, since I've received it as of June 29th, it's now July 3rd, it's had this very thin vertical green line from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen 3 times upon waking the phone. Seems to really only happen when I wake the phone. If I see it again I'll try to take a picture with my old phone and add it to the review. First time it happened I kinda had a mini freak-out, thinking that this is the end of having this phone and I gotta return it before it's too late and it gets worse. If it does get worse and more frequent, then I will get the refund because that's unacceptable as an excellent condition phone. Some people online say that it is because of a loose connection from the motherboard to the screen panel (I don't know the actual technical lingo), usually caused by the phone being dropped. Well, it's "brand new" to me, so it wasn't me who dropped it. Either way, the phone is great except for that scare. To be honest though, I do miss my more compact and sleek phone designs. I do kinda wish I had gotten the s22 instead, but I wanted to see what it's like having a bigger screen. Well, we'll see as the years go by.

Lo adquirí del vendedor "thegadgetdeals" en condición excelente. El equipo está impecable, solo muestra un poco de desgaste en los marcos, le daría una estética de 9.5. Todas las funciones del equipo funcionan a la perfección y no tuve problemas para que me diera señal con mi compañía telefónica. El único detalle es que en la parte del módulo de cámaras (adjunto foto) se ve un poco despejado, por lo tanto pierde total resistencia al agua al no estar bien sellado, cosa que en lo personal, no me afecta.

Merci beaucoup et bien reçu aujourd'hui. J'ose espérer que tout fonctionne bien.

Compré este dispositivo por un encargo. Y por lo que pude probar todo trabajaba bien como en audio y llamadas, la pantalla si presentaba una muy ligera fantasma pero no perceptible a simple vista. Camaras todo bien y de excelente calidad. También en estética muy excelente solo presentaba un ligero rasguño en un lado del marco. Pero parecía como nuevo. 💯 Recomendado

Phone arrived the next day super fast. Phone condition is perfect as if brand new. The systems and functionality works great. What more can I say? Great service, thanks 😊

The phone is very good 👍
