Have had this camera for over 3 years and it is still performing as well as the day I got it. The battery life for a 3 year old camera is better than expected. Charge it over night and then once during the day, that's it. The camera still takes amazing picture as I am always the one asked since my phone "takes better pictures than mine" - Apple users. The phone operates seamlessly always connects to the network and wifi with ease and you cant beat the android interface. The last apple I owned was a 4 and since Samsung makes the best phones on the market I have remained loyal. Samsung is always a step ahead of Apple on functionality and versatility of their phones. This one has been a GEM!

Ever since the UI7 Update, phone has ran like trash, overheating, wallet cover / in pocket detection doesn't shut down screen, extreme battery drain, not to mention I bought a Genuine Samsung LED cover wallet that no longer works w/ the device. I've been a Samsung user since the S10, but also my TV, dishwasher, etc. Never spending another dime on them. Waste of $1300 .

What is the difference between "unlocked" and "pre-owned?"

Unlocked signifies that the device will work with various networks. At Verizon, “certified pre-owned” refers to the selection of pre-owned smartphones Verizon sells. These phones are refurbished phones that have been inspected and are in full working order. -Kristen
