Samsung Galaxy A71 5G LTE Verizon | 6.7" AMOLED Screen |128GB of Storage | Long Lasting Battery | Single SIM | 2020 Model | Black - (SM-A716VTKMVZW) (Renewed)

This phone has most of the high end features of phones much more expensive plus it includes things like expandable memory via microSD and a headphone jack that most high end phones today are lacking. Really the only thing this phone does not feature that is pretty standard now is wireless charging, which I honestly never used on my last phone as it charges slower than wired charging. For the price this phone is really quick and the UW version even packs 6 gigs of RAM. The camera is perfectly acceptable and looked fine blown up on my big screen TV using screen grab. The screen is large and has a vivid display. The overall performance is pretty snappy considering the low price point. Really everything about this phone is pretty good to excellent, you wouldn't believe the quality based on the price, but it truly is a good phone.

My older Samsung Galaxy S7 unexpectedly died, so I was in the market for a new phone. The current prices for phones is WAAAAAY more than seems reasonable to me - I need something for calling, texting, taking a few photos of the kids, and occasional web browsing. Not willing to pay $1000 for that! This phone was around $170 with tax when I purchased as a refurbished unit. After a month of ownership, I am really thrilled with the result. The 5G reception is ok and overall calling in our house is better than the old phone - here in the Hill Country of Texas, cell coverage is spotty at best. Battery life is outstanding and the facial recognition is a cool feature when it works. Doesn't like it when I have on sunglasses - which is all the time when outdoors, and even indoors in certain areas it will not unlock. Not a big deal, I'm used to entering a pin. All other features are what you'd expect, or I haven't bothered to try them. Camera is better than the old one as would be expected after 5-6 years of improvements. Overall, I feel this in an excellent value and would absolutely purchase again and recommend to my friends. Even has me thinking that I'll try another upgrade in a few years just to keep this one as a working backup.

Within one week of activation of this A71 the pixels around the front facing camera began to become dead in a circular pattern. The dead area began to increase daily until I chose to contact Amazon. Amazon CSR said that I would need to work with the vendor (thegadgetdeals) for a return/replacement. After numerous emails with pictures of the screen failing thegadgetdeals told me that YES it was failing but I would need to contact Amazon for a return. Amazon told me that I was now past my 30 day return window. I refreshed his memory that these renewed phones have a 1 year warranty and he agreed to accept a return but only gave a 7 days return window to purchase a new phone, backup all data and verify that all is safe (again). The time spent on emails, phone calls, chats, backups, and data transfers has made it not worth my time. I will not be purchasing another renewed phone from Amazon.

I moved to another country for a year and couldn't use my old phone so I was looking for a cheap, good quality one. This one did the job. I've had it for 5 months and the battery life it's still pretty good. It definetly got a little worse than in the beggining, the first months my battery lasted for like 3 days straight (and i use it a lot). The camera is the only actual reason I put 4 stars. It's not great when there's little light and the front camera doesn't have great quality. Still it has good quality and with good lightning it does some pretty good pictures. It has a pretty good price and it works with most phone companies

Great phone quality was nice. The speed was great. Great storage capacity great battery life very easy to set up 5G nice .5 camera.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the Samsung A line of phones. I needed a cheap upgrade to a 5G phone and picked this one up for less than $200. It has biometrics, 5G, and functions pretty much the same as the more expensive Samsung S products. Coming from a Note 8 to an A51 to the S22 Ultra (the carrier didn't work out for me so I turned it back in) to now the A71 5G, it's been perfectly functional to me. The only thing I've missed is the S-pen app and wireless charging. Neither is a deal breaker. It's a budget phone worth looking at. It even screen mirrors despite Samung not offering that function on newer phones. NOTE: This Verizon phone is slightly different than the regular A71 5G. I bought this phone and a case not realizing that. The case did not fit the phone properly. Even though it is the same size, the volume buttons are placed differently than the regular A71 5G. Keep that in mind when looking for a case. You're going to want to search for "A71 5G UW" when looking for a case. I've noticed that Amazon has a limited selection of cases that will fit this phone and the search does not come up exclusive to the "UW" part, so do you due dilligence and verify that before buying the case. Did I mention that this is a great phone at a budget price?

My Samsung Galaxy A71 5G LTE arrived and looked brand new. It was however by far the WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD SETTING IT UP. The problem was the screen was very, very dim and I was not able to get into "Settings" to fix it. I discovered the "brightness" setting was at the lowest possible level, making it SUPER DIFFICULT to see when going through all of the steps required to get to a point where I could access "Settings." I have not yet finished connecting it to my Verizon account because of some other matters being more important right now. I hope doing the final steps will be as easy as it was when I activated other phones. More reactions from me after that happens. The 3 star rating is for this problem. I don't know if that was something that existed because the phone was refurbished because I've never had that happen when activating any other phone.

Phone seems really great so far for the money
