I bought this in October 2023. I got it, turned it on and did the setup. I turned it off and put it in my safe. Today is April 8th 2024. I took my phone out of the safe and turned it on. It loaded the main screen of the phone and then the screen went bright white.. You couldn’t see ANYTHING!! Ive tried everything to get this phone working. The cellular gallery Inc is who the phone came from. They flat out refuse to do ANYTHING to replace the $290 I paid for the phone. I have fought for weeks with Amazon and this company. I googled this company and there are THOUSANDS of reviews that this company sells junk broke down phones that don’t work past 90 days. I never thought about my return deadline date since the phone worked at arrival and it was in my safe untouched since October 2023. These people sold me a POS phone and neither them nor Amazon want to make it right. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE. YOU WILL REGRET IT!!

Just be aware that when setting up the phone the Software is likely extremely outdated so expect an hour to set it up after downloading 2 years of updates which will eat up around another 20-30GB of the 128GB you get,aside from transferring your own data to the device.Other than that the phone itself is good. Few minor scrapes and scratches around the camera,not original box,bare bones packaging,no interior padding or light bubble wrap.Came with pre-installed screen protector (which I changed anyway),can confirm it came with a generic charger that I didn’t even bother to open,would not recommend you risk damaging the phone plugging it up with it,buy a higher quality one for a few extra bucks.receipt and return slip in the box. No headphones.
Battery life shoots down by 10-15%fast but may just be an analysis flaw based on aging, it still lasts plenty long about 5 or 6 hours with heavy use. Fingerprint,screen,everything is fine no issues with the phone itself. Wireless charging is a bit slow for me, super fast charging works.Cameras functional.That’s about it.

I needed an unlocked phone to use in Italy and Austria. I bought this S21+ along with an “Orange Holiday Europe” SIM card.
The phone arrived in excellent condition, with no scratches or dents. The screen appeared to have been replaced. After setting it up, I tested it by installing SIM cards from AT&T and TELLO, both worked perfectly – it’s definitely unlocked.
Right before the trip, I installed the “Orange” SIM card with the phone powered down. Upon arrival in Italy I powered it up, and it immediately connected to the local service. We used Google Maps to get from the airport to our hotel some 50km’s away, no problems at all.
Photos taken on the trip were excellent. We installed Google Translate and Microsoft Translator which worked perfectly and were a real asset in helping us navigate the foreign signs, menus, etc. We also set up Hot Spot and Tethering, and used that along with wireless calling on our US SIM based phones to make and receive free calls and texts to/from US numbers. It all worked as expected with no issues.
There are two minor issues to report.
The battery life was OK, I would start each day at 100% but by end of day it typically had around 30% remaining. My new (locked) S23+ easily gets two days on a single charge.
I did notice a minor blemish on the screen after a week of using it. At first I thought it was just a greasy smear, but no amount of cleaning has managed to remove it. I didn’t notice this when I first received the phone so it most likely manifested after use. It would seem to be a flaw with the screen itself. I did not use a screen protector, which may or may not have helped to prevent it from occurring. Fortunately it’s close to the bottom of the screen and has not really affected the viewing area, nor has it affected the touch screen in the area of the blemish.
All-in-all I am happy with this phone. I plan to use it for future international trips as it can do what I need without having to pay the $10-a-day AT&T International Roaming plan – that soon gets very expensive with 2 or more phones.
