Great Phone

Sandy45 . 3 days ago

The phone is on almost perfect condition. Just one tiny scratch at bottom of phone by charger port. Only issue was instructions for activation. Had to visit Verizon store for assistance.

The S23 Ultras Long life and Durability

RichieZ . 4 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

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!

Don't waste your Money

Gregk . 6 months ago

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?"

Answer from Verizon Customer Support3 months

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
