Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, 128GB, Awesome Black - Unlocked (Renewed)

I've been wanting to upgrade from an inexpensive and slow 4G Motorola phone with 32GB to something 5G, with 128GB, from a name brand, and much faster. I'd narrowed down my search to a Pixel 6a/7a or this Samsung A54. This A54 model seemed like it was better quality and with fewer complaints, so the next task was finding something I could afford. Which meant shopping for a refurbished phone. Of course, I was leery about buying a used phone, and whether it would be scratched up, locked, or some other problem might make me regret buying a refurbished product. I was also worried that the phone I received would not run on Visible, a Verizon subsidiary, since many A54s phones seem to be GMA and only run on T-Mobile/AT&T. This particular phone from this seller was one of the lower-priced refurbs -- about half the cost of a new Samsung A54, and the seller had good customer reviews, so I decided to take a chance and order it. Now that I've activated this phone and set it up to my liking, I can say that I'm thrilled with the purchase. The phone arrived fully functional, just 48 hours after I ordered it. It was unlocked as promised, and I had no trouble activating it on Visible. The condition of the phone is pristine--not a single scratch or ding. It came in a white, Amazon Renewed box, as expected, and a USB cable and charger were included. I am 100% satisfied with this purchase so far, and look forward to using my new and much faster 5G Samsung phone!

Very good! Came in good condition and has a good camera. Only issue is having it work with my service provider but that is Crickets issue.

Nothing but regret over this purchase. I've had the phone for 12 days. It arrived in a basic box with a charger and cable, but no tool for opening the SIM card slot. Initially, the phone powered up okay, and I was able to do smart switch fine and reconnect all of my things. But I noticed that the charging cable wasn't saying securely in the phone. Cables that works perfectly fine with my old phone, we're just slipping out of this. I know the charging port could just be dirty, so I did take a look at that and try to clean it out as best as I could, although obvious dust and dirt that was built up in the charging port from day one should have been a red flag. and that helped a little bit, but it still didn't have the same hold that my old phone did. Next up were the restarts. Sometimes the phone will just randomly restart on its own, out of nowhere, with decent battery life. It happened about four times in the space of the 12 days I've had the phone. A couple of times, the phone would sketch out, and either the screen or the apps would become unresponsive to my touch, which force me to have to remove the phone. The final straw, and the reason I have just initiated a return on this thing is because today, after I left the house for work I noticed the display was very dark - - I know it was dark, because I had said the display that way, but I wasn't able to pull the menu down to adjust the brightness at all. I thought, no big deal I'll just reboot it again (although to be Frank, 12 days in, this is already a lot). I could bring up the menu for powering off the phone and rebooting, but nothing would happen when I touch the buttons. I had to basically press down or hold the button really hard to get it to respond, and eventually it did, but even that some 5 minutes. Then when the phone turns back on, I couldn't unlock it. It would recognize the initial swipe to allow me to put my password in, but then wouldn't respond to any touches. That's the state it's in right now. I'm hoping that I'll be able to still get my information off of it or wipe it before I send it back because this is absolutely ridiculous. This is my first time purchasing a refurbished phone, and I can tell you that it's definitely going to be my last. It's not worth the gamble.

A good value at the $175 I paid but with 3 things to know: 1) Smaller than my previous Galaxy A14 (yes, I waited that long) which is a plus. 2) I was at first very disappointed and thought about sending it back. After no less than 6 (count-em 6!) One UI updates, the Wi-Fi went from very bad to outstanding. Ergo, the "effort" in "With Some Effort". After all the updates the WiFi speed went from around 10 Mbps to over 500 (phone to router speed). 3) After putting in my existing SIM card and doing the Smart Switch routine, a "Boost Mobile" app kept coming up asking me to finish the setup. I use AT&T so this was Very Annoying! (And I was under the impression that "Unlocked" meant generic/can be used with any service) but apparently the phone had originally been intended for Boost Mobile. So, I had to delete the only one of three Boost Mobile apps (that came with the phone) that would allow me to do so and disable the other two - annoying and added effort. That said, however, I would say in the end still a good value for the money - the case is in excellent condition with no observable scratches. But due all the effort and the initial sub-quality WiFi - 4 stars and not 5.

Everything is good And the seller very nice The quality 98% Value for money

Great speed and features, does most of the tasks I need without the cost of the high end flagship. I got a clamshell type case for it to protect it and adapted it a bit so I could carry the phone around my neck using a lanyard. My older a32 5g could take an audio jack wired headset, this one doesn't it only uses blutooth for audio. The large screen is great so not much need for a tablet. It has stereo speakers for sound and good volume.

Ordered 02/27, received 03/04 even though estimated delivery date was 03/11- EXTREMELY pleased with the speediness of the delivery. A true underpromise, over deliver scenario and I couldn't be more pleased! An upgrade to my a53 that I would still use had I not cracked the screen a few months ago, which began to cut my fingers from the broke glass. Device came fully unlocked as described and works swimmingly well with my Tello Sim card. Also it says "good" and boy do I appreciate the modesty as it's actually in REALLY good conditions with only TINY scratches around the edges that are completely covered by an adequate phone case. 10/10 my pictures don't do justice to how clean the device is

Hard to believe that people spend so much more for smartphone when this meets all my needs with ease. Buy this phone and use the savings for something you will enjoy more.

Sin problemas detectados a 2 meses de uso continuo

Por el momento tengo tres días de uso y todo bien, llegó como nuevo sin ningún detalle en la pantalla ni el cuerpo del teléfono. Con un cargador genérico muy raro que la verdad no he utilizado eso sí la carga es algo lenta y uso un cargador de 20 de Motorola. Viene liberado,yo uso Movistar y todo bien

Que ya fueron reacondicionados y no dan un buen funcionamiento

Muy buena compra, el equipo muy bien, incluso trae cargador incluido, recomendable 100%

Llevo un año con el y sin problema alguno
