Samsung Galaxy S23+ Plus 5G, US Version, 256GB, Lavender - Unlocked (Renewed)

My phone arrived undamaged, in perfect condition! I waited to do this review until I had it for a bit to make sure everything worked right. Well....IT'S AMAZING!!! The phone was not damaged in any way. It looked like a brand new phone, right out of the box! Not only that, but it functions flawlessly. I don't use all of the features (and it has a lot of them), mostly because I don't do social media stuff, or take many pictures. However, taking pictures is absolutely amazing! There are sooooo many options: like filters, colors, cropping, picture size, frame size, etc. There's just a ton of them. There is also Biometric features, which I appreciate. I had the S9+ and the fingerprint reader was on the back. If you use the fingerprint feature on this phone, make sure you set a passcode or pin as well. The fingerprint reader is on the screen. It shows as a pop-up. Of course you have to go through the fingerprint set-up first, and can choose more than one finger/thumb. My concern is that if the screen gets damaged where the reader is, the screen probably wouldn't be able to be able to read your print. It does NOT have an iris scanner. This IS a 5G phone, but it can connect to 4G and other networks as well. I believe there might have been a SIM card, but I honestly don't remember. I took the SIM from my other phone and put it in this one, so I didn't need it anyway. I use AT&T pre-paid, and it works fine. Right out of the box. I don't know if it's unlocked to a variety of different network or service providers. My service provider is AT&T, and the phone I got from this seller is also AT&T. My recommendation to anyone considering purchasing this phone, would be to contact the seller, first and ask about supported service providers. If you have AT&T, it's a total win! :) This phone charges super fast, and the battery life is fabulous. For my usage, anyway. You absolutely have to use a fast charging cable, or you'll ruin your phone. I believe it came with a USB cable, but I can't remember if the block was included. Either way, if you need to get a charging block, and/or cable, MAKE SURE they're fast charging!!! I thought the cable it came with was too short for my needs, so I bought a new one on Amazon that is specifically for the S23+...and phones like it. Another recommendation I have is to get an Otterbox. BEFORE you start using the phone. If you drop it, then a lot of money was spent for nothing. The camera lenses on the back protrude. I personally have the Otterbox Defender series, as the case itself prevents the camera lenses from touching any surface when you lay the phone down. It's the same if you lay it face down. The cover prevents the face from touching the surface of anything. I would seriously consider getting a high quality case with this phone, instead of a cheap knock-off. (Not all cases are created equal.) The phone is constructed of metal, not plastic, so it feels very well made. It's not a light phone, but not super heavy, either. At least to me. The phone doesn't come in an original box. At least mine didn't. It came with the phone and charging cable. I can't remember if it came with the little key that opens the SIM slot. If it doesn't, you'll need to get one. It also doesn't come with a manual. Also, unless you get the S23 Ultra, there is no stylus. If that's what you're looking for, the S23+ doesn't have that capability at all. You aren't able to get an S Pen with it, as the S Pen wouldn't function, even if you bought one and tried. I would also like to mention that it's super easy to transfer your data and contacts (and whatever else) to the S23+. I don't have any idea about transferring from an Apple product, though. Samsung is my go-to for phones. As for settings, there are too many to list. There is a specific one for the battery that I would like to mention, however. It makes it so your phone doesn't charge over 80% when fully charged, which is important. The phone won't overcharge that way and end up ruining your battery. As for call settings, there are a lot of those as well. For people that are hard of hearing, there are options for that. If, on the other hand, you'd like to protect your hearing and how loud the phone can get while listening to music or talking on it, you can limit the volume. It has features for the blind, but I don't know what that entails. It also has the car feature, but I don't know anything about that. I don't drive. I hope this review was helpful. :)

Phone came in perfect condition, everything works. After reading the other reviews, one tip for anyone buying a refurbished phone that's unlocked, an unlocked phone does NOT mean it's an UNLOCKED SIM CARD, in fact, mine didn't have a SIM card at all, which is fine with me, I had a SIM card already. But SIM cards are often locked to a specific carrier even if the phone is not. So make sure you have a nano SIM card ready to use, even if it comes with one pre-installed, it may not be for your carrier. I used AI to give me a checklist to make sure all was good. I suggest you do the same. I got the "Excellent" tier and my phone definitely aligns with that but was way cheaper. Only complaint is that Amazon shipped it like a snail. This is NOT an issue with the seller, this is Amazon corporate making decisions on what they feel is most efficient and cost-effective, but when you're ordering a phone, you likely need it fast. And while if I order something dumb like post it notes and cotton candy flavored peanuts, they treat it like a life or death situation like it's a heart transplant and the clock is ticking, for this phone they were like "You can wait, there's no rush". But the seller gave me a great deal on a great item, so I can recommend you buy this still, just be prepared to wait up to a week to get to you

Works great and come with CHARGER! Phone checks out well, fully unlocked and turns on. Battery is good, screen is good with very minor scratch that isn't that noticeable. Speaker is loud and sounds amazing, and camera is definitely way better than my Pixel 6. Very smooth interface and amazing video quality with movies. Would definitely buy again as I just don't see the point in buying the latest and greatest phones. When I could get the latest from a year or 2 ago at a great price! Even though it's refurbished but not too bad.

I needed a phone that would connect via BT to my hearing aids. This model was approved by by hearing aid manufacturer. I bought a renewed phone to economize on price, and the phone met the description. I am happy with the performance - very fast compared to my older A51 model. It is a bit heavier, but the frame is metal vs plastic, so that is expected. Battery life is very good - easily one full day with a lot of use. The only negative I have is that the fingerprint feature doesn't work well. I have re-learned the finger print several times and it works at first but then stops recognizing correctly. So now I swipe up and have it recognize my face - that works perfectly.

The Galaxy S23+ was an impromptu upgrade after I dropped my Galaxy s10e, and it kept disconnecting the carrier sim. This is my first time buying a renewed phone, so I was a bit worried I might end up with a defective phone or one with cosmetic damage, which I can't really stand. 😅 I went for the phone locked to AT&T just in case I ran into any issues. The phone arrived faster than expected. It came in a simple box, and the phone was wrapped in bubble wrap. It came with a usb-c cord for charging and sim tool. I was blown away by the condition of this phone. Phone condition is practically FLAWLESS--only very small, barely noticeable scratches around the charging port. The screen is in stellar condition. Like getting a brand-new phone. The phone was already charged to 67% out of the box. Setup was seamless, and the carrier sim card was recognized without issue. I didn't have to contact AT&T. Wireless data transfer went very smoothly, and I was able to connect to my other Samsung devices (Buds Pro 2, Tablet S8, & s10e). So far, the phone is very responsive. I don't usually pay attention to battery life for any of my Samsung devices, since I usually have chargers or powerbanks on-hand, but the battery life is really good! Lasting all day after intermittent use--from 100% at 8 in the morning to 74% by 5:40 pm. I think I will definitely go this route again in the future. I saved so much money, and it was totally worth the buy.

Switched from an S20 ultra and this was by far the easiest transition ever. It did take a while because of all my music but everything came over. I mean everything, there wasn't much i had to do other than add a few user names and passwords for my streaming apps but everything thing else was there like it was the same phone. The battery is 5 times better than my old phone and I have have no issues so far. Phone came on time and looked like it was new. For around 300 you can't beat it. I know some people have had issues before with phones they have received, but for me this one is a homerun. Thank you for a good product.

Pros: • Phone arrived in excellent condition with minimal signs of use • Very fast performance — apps open instantly • Display is bright, smooth, and great for videos • Camera quality is top-tier for both day and night shots • Great value compared to buying new Cons: • Battery seems around 85–90% health (expected with refurbished) • No original box or accessories included • Slight delay in shipping Overall, a great purchase if you want flagship performance without paying full price. Note : this is my one month experience, i need to see how it goes

S23+ unlocked perfect condition. Looks feels, works like brand new! Super easy setup with existing Samsung account. accepted T-Mobile sim without a hitch. All my apps run sooth and quick. Pictures are great. I did notice that the photo file sizes are smaller than my old phone, but pictures are as good or better ( something in their new optimizing process) Really like the 10X optical zoom.
