I got Samsung S21 Ultra refurbished excellent condition. It indeed came in perfect condition with no scratches. But after 6-7 months I realized that a screen was replaced because glue was not properly spread out as it was on other S21 Ultra phones. So phones from Amazon might come in perfect condition you never know what happened before.

I've mostly had great experiences buying on the resale market. Only one time I got a phone that had 77% battery health. That was unacceptable given that it was sold as very good condition. But every other used phone I've had has been between 87 and 99 percent battery health and almost pristine condition.

what about waterproof? does anybody tested water resistent on amazon renewed cellphones?

[GentiluomoStraniero]

I have tried buying from Amazon Renewed. What was sent did not match the listing. The replacement was no better. I bought a second phone, same problem. After 4 phones, I could not get a phone that matched the listing. No thanks....

Hey Unmatched, do you recommend any apps or programs to test your new phone? What would you recommend to test it?

Should Amazon renewed phones in exelent condition mean there are no cracks ?

How about ebay open box. I am sending one of these back, a Galaxy Flip 5 because screen was going crazy with lines and such.. Most open box phones on ebay are saying that they are new.

I wonder
Does having Verizon firmware on the phone means it's refurbished or just the carrier ?
I have had my s21+ that came with Verizon rom for nearly 2 years but i am not sure if it was new or renewed.
I noticed nothing odd about it + the battery health was 98% knowing that it's a pre-owned phone, so i couldn't tell

What about battery life? It can be lower on second hand phones
