Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, US Version, 128GB, Blue - Verizon (Renewed)

Apparently there has been some issues depending On what seller you get. The phone I got was immaculate on the outside with no visible defects. The phone itself seems fast and efficient. The screen had no defects and seems like it’s brand new. I haven’t had it long so I can’t say much on the battery life. But I will update the review if it’s just trash but with an older phone and it being refurbished I don’t expect it to be the absolute best. The camera works and is what you would expect. Not as good as my iPhone but definitely an upgrade from the old android my son use to have. I also haven’t set it up to the network yet. So I’ll update on that once it’s done. All around it’s a good deal for the money.

I first purchased this phone back in 2022, from a seller called Edge Cellular for about $280. I used it up until May 2025 when it died to water damage (my fault). It was perfect. You get almost all the features of the flagship androids for less than a quarter of the price. Great storage capacity, cameras, processing speed, everything just worked out. After my first one was dead and I needed a new phone fast, I came back to the listing. $151? Almost half the original price? Awesome! I bought it with my next paycheck. What a massive blunder. It was shipped by a different company called XIBER WIRELESS. Came with a cheap USB-C charger cable that takes 3 hours to charge fully as opposed to mine that takes half that, the the charger block they sent overheats insanely fast. Now for the phone itself, compared to the last one it had: Reduced wifi/cellular data/bluetooth range, reduced touch screen accuracy, ghost inputs (registered taps where I was not pressing), ignored inputs (not registering my actual taps), a weird bug when turning the screen on that made it flash green for a half second, reduced camera quality, lower speaker quality, a worse microphone, and I'm sure more that I haven't noticed or discovered. It feels like they gutted an S20 FE and replaced all the internals with cheap chinese parts, then sold the original parts for profit. Or maybe XIBER WIRELESS fished this thing out of the Pacific. It was listed as (Renewed - Exceptional) but it is MUCH WORSE in EVERY WAY than the same product from a different seller. I will be returning this piece of garbage to XIBER WIRELESS and i will be buying the same phone again from specifically EDGE CELLULAR whom I trust whole-heartedly as they can deliver a quality product at a fair price. I rate Edge Cellular a 5/5. I rate XIBER WIRELESS a 2/5.

Edit: This is officially the worst phone I've had in my 20 some years of having phones. If I dare to let the battery drain completely, it's a toss up on if it will charge again at all. Have tried multiple different cords and bricks, no luck. The screen continues to crack and splinter. I'll likely be on the market for a replacement in less than a year. (I never go through phones this fast, the phone I was using before this was a Samsung S8 active. It's honestly in better shape than this one.) Original: The phone is fine, does it's job. I'm not a heavy user. Calls, texts, simple browsing. It still seems to want to be a Verizon phone - I'll have to figure out how to handle that on my own. For now, my voicemail is finicky and the phone is constantly downloading nonsense apps without my input. (So many games!) I'm no stranger to buying refurbished unlocked phones. I've been doing it for years, this is the first time I've gotten a bit burned on it. It could have been prevented, though. If you're looking to buy, be very picky about the condition the phone comes in and immediately request a refund. Before I ever started the phone up, I noticed a small crack in the top of the screen and excess glue around the bezel. I figured it was fine, I'd ignore that and go on. Chalked it up to the cost of getting a refurbished phone. Don't do that. I should have immediately contacted the seller (PDI Mobile) at that point. Since then, the screen has cracked considerably despite having not dropped it. It went into my pocket, uncracked, and came out of my pocket cracked. I had a simple protective cover on it. I have never in my life cracked a phone screen. I assume the cheapest screen available was used to replace the original. It's a good way to cut the costs down. Despite ignoring the first issues, I was well within Amazon's return window at that point and the seller refused. I contacted Amazon customer support, they escalated it to the seller, and the seller again refused. Currently rocking the phone with a piece of scotch tape on the screen so the glass doesn't splinter off into my finger. Classy! So, be picky. And maybe steer clear of phones sold by PDI Mobile.

Purchased what was said to be an excellent condition phone. Phone physically was perfect but there is obvious burn in on the screen from the previous owner that shows whenever the screen gets white / bright. I'm mainly using it for AR but it was not worth paying for excellent condition when the main part of the phone that a regular user would focus on has damage. EDIT: I was issued a partial refund to make it the price of a good quality phone, and I am more happy with the product and seller. Thanks so much for making my AR dreams come true. Samsung DEX is amazing 🙏🏾💪🏾

Purchased this phone last year and its still working very excellent. Was skeptical to purchase at first because it is a renewed phone but it woks perfect for a refurbished (Excellent) phone. Battery lasts long and the memory capacity is still at half which was exactly what i was looking for with good screen quality and because it is unlocked it was compatible with both phone providers in my country.

Very happy with the phones..they look brand new and are working great.

Exelente equipo!!! Muy buena compra!!! Muchas gracias!!!

Es como el vino, sigue funcionando excelente a pesar de los años, tiene buen rendimiento y cámara y esta en muy buen estado, lo recomiendo bastante, si buscas un gama alta a precio de gama baja es buen precio

It's only been a week, but the phones are great! Camera's a little iffy in regular photo mode.. No better than my last phone which was 5 years old. However, the portrait mode is amazing! Love the quality! Even in low light, it's great! I use my phone to take pictures, so it's important for them to look good. I don't use the flash or anything. I'm not big in selfies so I can't really judge the front facing camera other than it does facial recognition as expected. The fingerprint reader is frustrating. It takes a few tries, but finally unlocks the phone. I've read this is a known issue with this phone. - A fingerprint reader on the side or back would be better instead this one is on the bottom of the screen.. If you don't use the fingerprint reader to unlock your phone, this isn't an issue. XD Battery life has been good. I charge it every other day. I don't play any games so I can't say how well the battery life is for that. I only surf the web and shop. I find the keyboard is better on this phone. Less "missed" button presses or wrong button presses. The sound is good. The phone gets quite loud if you need it to. There are a lot of different sounds to choose for the ringtone/alarm notifications/regular notifications. I don't love most of them.. They're all kinda sauntery and not very upbeat like I think a ringtone should be or alarm sound. Feels like for a child in my opinion or those that can't handle loud sounds. I understand but this is a phone. I want to jump up if I have a call or need to be somewhere, you know? Anyways, the screen is quite good. Very nice colors. Oh and you can change the colors too if you'd like. It comes with a vibrant color option, but I turned it to normal. The other was too saturated and looked like the colors were bleeding. I did a quick change, not a thorough one like you can do. The flashlight has a few modes for brightness. I only use mine to help the cat find toys lost under the couch so I don't need it super bright, but if you need it, it's an option. :) I do recommend getting a screen protector and phone protection. The backing is plastic. I actually like this because it means the back is less likely to break. Yes, the phone feels cheaper and looks it, but with a case, you wouldn't know. I also like the film protectors for the screen over glass. Again, it won't get damaged as much as a glass protector would. - I would recommend this especially for kids. That being said we did have to return one phone after only 2 days. I think it was the membrane under the power button. The button got stuck pressed in and we were able to get it back out, but then it was loose and rocked back and forth. We returned it and purchased a new phone, exactly the same which arrived in 2 days. It's just like the others. When you have a family that needs phones, you tend to get everyone the same. To sum it up, these are good phones, no complaints so far. It was easy to setup and add all my usual apps. However, if you need to reset the phone to factory, you need to setup a Samsung account to do so. I hear that Apple has a similar thing. (I've never owned an iPhone because of it's restrictions.) Also, the phone does appear to have a micro SD card holder on the opposite side of the SIM card holder. I haven't tried this yet, but will soon.
