Samsung Galaxy S20+ Plus 5G Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone SM-G986U US Version | 128GB | Fingerprint ID & Facial Recognition | Long-Lasting Battery (Cosmic Black, 128GB)

Welp, as we all now know, Samsung is experimenting with going the way of Apple with hard limits to storage space. Shame. I originally bought this phone to upgrade from an S9+ which had been working fine until I dropped it and the screen cracked. I could probably have replaced the screen easily but the BTS theme was enough to convince me to upgrade. The hologram purple back is a beaut and I still get compliments on it. Ofc it's usually safely tucked under a protective (now dull, less transparent) case, but it still shines through.I'm glad I got this phone as opposed to waiting for the S21 bc one of the main reasons I switched to Android was for the ease of adding more storage and moving files to/fro the phone to a computer. So far, I still love my phone and have never really experienced any more connectivity issues compared to my last few phones (iPhone 8+, Galaxy S9+). The speed of switching btw one app to another, one function to another, has never felt slow for me unless for some reason, an app is not loading (usually the fault of the app). The size of the app is big enough so that sometimes I experience trouble using only one hand but never to the point where I absolutely have to hold it with both hands for most functions. The camera is in the middle of screen instead of a dedicated space at the top so that when you're taking fullscreen photos, you will see a "floating" black dot but I quickly got over that. Whatever I'm taking photos of will be towards the center of the screen 98% of the time anyway.To name some cons, one of my main complaints would be smoothness of video while filming but I've noticed this since Galaxy S9+. Currently I don't have a huge need for video so I'm happy as a clam with this phone. Hoping I won't be needing upgrade for a while! So far, nothing new in the phone market has made me consider switching to something else anytime soon.

I bought this supposedly New phone on December 15, 2024. On February 13, 2024, the screen goes totally black while I am looking at it on my desk. I could not get it back to normal. I took it to my carrier. They long pressed and it came back on. But by the time I got back to work, the screen went hazy purple then black. I returned to my carrier. They long pressed it and it came back on for a few minutes before it went a hazy purple then going black. They said this phone is defective and was surprised to know it was a new phone. I contacted the seller repeatedly. That was a dead end! The seller went round and round with me, saying I need to return the phone before I can get a refund. I kept telling the seller that I cannot return the phone until my data is removed and that won't happen with a black screen. The seller is no good. I was appalled at the seller because the seller kept assuming that I damaged the phone. I never dropped the phone I always take care of my equipment.I had to go to Amazon, who has filed an A to Z claim. I am now waiting to see what's going to happen in 3-5 days.Well, Amazon turned out to be TERRIBLE! A computer said the time ran out for a refund.Well, I talked the seller for over a month.I have spent over $30K on Amazon. I paid off my bill today. I am now done with Amazon. They will lose a lot more money than I did with this defective phone.

I was surprised to find such an awesome deal for this phone. It arrived very fast, and was super easy to use Smart Switch to transfer my old phone to this new one.My old phone was a note 9 and about 6 years old. This new phone is so fast, I forgot what it was like to have a new phone.

So i used to be hard core apple fan. After all of my siblings switched to android and told me how great they where i decided to switch myself. This is my first android and im loving it. Tho i am still getting used to it. Thats a sign of a great phone. When there problems cuz unformilear and its still enjoyable. Then its great. I dont plan to ever switch back. Now im gonna get into more specifics as to why i like it1 Pixel Resolution: people will make fun of android all the time for bad picture quality and pixel Resolution but Samsung has done an amazing job with this phone and having that not be the case, everything is super clear, in both camera and screen2 its a slick design for a phone, i love the rounded edges and the seemless switch from screen to the back plating of the phone, with the screen partialy curved with the phone it really feels like you have maximum screen3 The camera: now im not really one for using my camera on my phone, as i am a landscape photographer and have a separate camera for good pics, however for casual pictures and vids i take on here it is an amazing phone. Also the front facing camera doesnt have that nick that apple does. So the front facing camera takes up very little screen space4 the sellar: now this has nothing to do with the phone, however i feel i need to point out this seller gives a fantastic deal. 600 for a phone and wireless charging pad?! Its amazing and the transaction was smooth

Even though this is an "unlocked" phone it still had AT&T apps that are running the services on the phone. It has been glitchy since I got it with lots of error pop ups and will not update beyond android 11. The issue is not Samsung, the issue is the AT&T apps which can not be deleted, I've tried many times. If you buy an unlocked phone you don't expect to have proprietary apps that cause the phone to malfunction to be a problem.

my friend very happy with his case
