Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, US Version, 128GB, Cloud Navy - Cricket (Renewed)

My experience with this seller and product was everything I needed. The order was shipped on time and arrived exactly as stated. The phone came in excellent condition with no scratches or wear just as I selected. It works as if it were new with no issues noticed. At this time, I cannot complain about a single thing. As far as my experience goes I would recommend using this seller. Thank you for a great transaction.

I first purchased this phone back in 2022, from a seller called Edge Cellular for about $280. I used it up until May 2025 when it died to water damage (my fault). It was perfect. You get almost all the features of the flagship androids for less than a quarter of the price. Great storage capacity, cameras, processing speed, everything just worked out. After my first one was dead and I needed a new phone fast, I came back to the listing. $151? Almost half the original price? Awesome! I bought it with my next paycheck. What a massive blunder. It was shipped by a different company called XIBER WIRELESS. Came with a cheap USB-C charger cable that takes 3 hours to charge fully as opposed to mine that takes half that, the the charger block they sent overheats insanely fast. Now for the phone itself, compared to the last one it had: Reduced wifi/cellular data/bluetooth range, reduced touch screen accuracy, ghost inputs (registered taps where I was not pressing), ignored inputs (not registering my actual taps), a weird bug when turning the screen on that made it flash green for a half second, reduced camera quality, lower speaker quality, a worse microphone, and I'm sure more that I haven't noticed or discovered. It feels like they gutted an S20 FE and replaced all the internals with cheap chinese parts, then sold the original parts for profit. Or maybe XIBER WIRELESS fished this thing out of the Pacific. It was listed as (Renewed - Exceptional) but it is MUCH WORSE in EVERY WAY than the same product from a different seller. I will be returning this piece of garbage to XIBER WIRELESS and i will be buying the same phone again from specifically EDGE CELLULAR whom I trust whole-heartedly as they can deliver a quality product at a fair price. I rate Edge Cellular a 5/5. I rate XIBER WIRELESS a 2/5.

Edit:This is officially the worst phone I've had in my 20 some years of having phones. If I dare to let the battery drain completely, it's a toss up on if it will charge again at all. Have tried multiple different cords and bricks, no luck. The screen continues to crack and splinter. I'll likely be on the market for a replacement in less than a year. (I never go through phones this fast, the phone I was using before this was a Samsung S8 active. It's honestly in better shape than this one.)Original:The phone is fine, does it's job. I'm not a heavy user. Calls, texts, simple browsing.It still seems to want to be a Verizon phone - I'll have to figure out how to handle that on my own. For now, my voicemail is finicky and the phone is constantly downloading nonsense apps without my input. (So many games!)I'm no stranger to buying refurbished unlocked phones. I've been doing it for years, this is the first time I've gotten a bit burned on it.It could have been prevented, though. If you're looking to buy, be very picky about the condition the phone comes in and immediately request a refund.Before I ever started the phone up, I noticed a small crack in the top of the screen and excess glue around the bezel. I figured it was fine, I'd ignore that and go on. Chalked it up to the cost of getting a refurbished phone.Don't do that.I should have immediately contacted the seller (PDI Mobile) at that point.Since then, the screen has cracked considerably despite having not dropped it. It went into my pocket, uncracked, and came out of my pocket cracked. I had a simple protective cover on it. I have never in my life cracked a phone screen.I assume the cheapest screen available was used to replace the original. It's a good way to cut the costs down.Despite ignoring the first issues, I was well within Amazon's return window at that point and the seller refused. I contacted Amazon customer support, they escalated it to the seller, and the seller again refused.Currently rocking the phone with a piece of scotch tape on the screen so the glass doesn't splinter off into my finger. Classy!So, be picky. And maybe steer clear of phones sold by PDI Mobile.

BOTTOM LINE/LONG STORY SHORTThe phone is fairly priced, in good enough condition, works on T-Mobile, and has the features I wanted for my next phone. Buying refurbished products comes with some compromises (older devices, a little wear), but has saved me money, and is less bad for the environment.*********************************************************************************************************************Review after 1 week of use.Coming from a 5 year old LG G6.PACKAGING/FIRST IMPRESSIONSFirst off, the phone boots up with an AT&T logo, and has AT&T software on the phone. That said, the device recognized my T-Mobile sim card and works with phone/messaging/mobile data.*The phone arrived very fast, with a generic non-Samsung power brick and cable; I generally avoid using cheap included power accessories.CONDITIONThe device had some light scuff marks on the sides, and a few surface scratches on the screen, but these don't show up when the screen is turned on, and the scuffs will be covered up by a case. Most importantly the back camera glass is free from scratches. I'd say it's closer to good condition than excellent, but good enough considering it's a previously owned 3 year old device.FEATURESThe main reasons for buying a new phone for me were:1. Better battery life: really good, probably lasting a little over 2 days** (50-ish hours) with fairly heavy use (YouTube several hours/day, +25 tabs open, taking +10 photos a day, using sticky notes for ideas, etc.). I will update this estimate if it is noticeably worse or better after a couple weeks of use.2. Newer OS: my old phone uses Android 9.0, while this phone gets Android 13 (and maybe 14). The improvements around privacy/restricting background apps, battery life optimization, newer/better security, and ability to use newer apps are all things I can appreciate if not always notice.3. Better hardware: This phone has a larger sensor main camera and a 3x zoom lens, a larger hard drive (128gb vs 32gb), a brighter/larger/higher contrast OLED screen vs an LCD, a 35% bigger battery, top and bottom speakers for stereo listening, a faster CPU/GPU and more ram, and newer Bluetooth, WiFi, and 5g included. So yeah, quite a few improvements over 5 years!OVERALL IMPRESSIONSThe Samsung S20 FE 5G delivers all the features I wanted in my next phone. It does this despite being a 3 year old model, with newer phones not really adding anything I needed. This coupled with choosing the renewed option means this phone at this price is a bargain. For me the few scuffs and having to uninstall bloatware weren't a deal breaker, but my expectations weren't high and these tradeoffs are worth considering before buying.NOTES* My guess is the refurbishing company buys used phones locked to various carriers, then unlocks them as part of the renew/refurbishing process before selling them. Long story short, the phone works, which is all that matters.All of the AT&T software is bloatware/not needed, and some won't even work with T-Mobile. I removed all of it, as well as some Google and Samsung bloatware, with Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which requires a little work and an hour or so of your time. Since I tend to use phones for 5ish years, it's worth it but this may not be for everyone. To be fair, a T-mobile device would likely also include T-mobile, along with the standard Google, and Samsung bloatware, so I don't count this as a negative.**I spent a couple hours really optimizing the phone for maximum battery life. I uninstalled all the bloatware, restricted background data, have background apps go to sleep, disabled automatic app updates, turn off NFC/GPS location/Bluetooth/mobile data when not in use, disabled wireless and fast charging, and have power saving and adaptive battery settings turned on.The Device Care app is pretty good, and the newer versions of Android allow more control over how much apps can run in the background and consumer power. For me the effort it was worth it, but I don't know to what extent these changes improved battery life.

I purchased this phone and overall, I am very pleased with it. The phone arrived in excellent condition. No noticeable scratches or dents, or screen issues. It honestly almost looked like a brand-new phone out of the box. Performance has been smooth and reliable, Apps open quickly, multitasking is easy, and I haven't experienced any lag during everyday use like browsing or streaming, or social media. The 5G connectivity works well where available, and speed are noticeably faster compared to my previous phone. Watching videos and scrolling feels premium. Camera quality is very good for this price range. The only minor downsize I have is that since it is renewed, you always have that slight uncertainty about long term battery health or prior usage, but so far, I haven't had any issue. I would recommend this phone to anybody. I do not regret my purchase.

Wow! What a GREAT PHONE in NEW CONDITION. I was worried about what I would do the day my 6 year old Galaxy S20 FE bricked. So I bought one for $155. The phone connected to WiFi with no SIM card installed. Phone instantly started Samsung Smart Switch. All of my Apps and data transferred to the new phone in about 20 minutes. I literally CLONED MY PHONE. I use Mint Mobile for $170 per year. Between that and this perfectly new phone, I have solved any potential "phone problems". I highly reccomend this company and urge you to CLONE YOUR PHONE.

I purchased the **Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, 128GB, Cloud Mint – Unlocked (Renewed)** and I’m genuinely impressed with the quality. For a renewed phone, it arrived in excellent condition — minimal signs of previous use, no scratches on the screen or frame, and the Cloud Mint color looks fresh and vibrant.The phone performs smoothly with the Snapdragon processor, 6GB RAM, and 128GB storage. Everyday tasks, multitasking, and even gaming feel responsive. The 5G connectivity is fast on my carrier, and the battery life is still very good after a full day of use (with some heavy social media, photos, and streaming). The camera system is a highlight — the triple rear cameras take sharp, colorful photos in good light, and the 32MP front camera is great for selfies and video calls.The 120Hz Super AMOLED display is bright, smooth, and a joy to use, especially for watching videos or scrolling. Being **unlocked and single SIM**, it worked perfectly right out of the box with my carrier.The renewed certification seems solid: the phone came with a charger, was fully tested, and has a warranty included. Battery health is strong (above 85%), which is important for renewed devices.If you’re looking for a capable flagship-level phone with excellent display, camera, and 5G performance at a much lower price, this **Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (Renewed)** in Cloud Mint is a great buy. It offers premium features without the premium cost.Highly recommended for anyone wanting solid performance and value!

I have purchased this phone 2 times before with this being my 3rd. I know what the screen felt like on previous versions. It is clear the screen has been replaced, it often won't open/feel my swipe. I have to lock it with the power button. wait.. try again. maybe wait. then I can swipe to open. The front camera is not centered with the cut out for it on the glass. I dropped this one on the ground, thankful for the otterbox this time. The whole screen did the 90s tv static then restored to normal. I've dropped my others several times and never experienced this anxiety from an average drop, more disturbed this one has a quality case when the others did not for years. There is a difference between renewed and rebuilt. I'll return to swappa for my next phone purchase

Exelente equipo!!! Muy buena compra!!! Muchas gracias!!!

Llevo usandolo ya unos meses y ahí va mi experiencia.1: me llegó el S20 FE 5g así que si no te importa no poder usar Samsung members deberías estár contento con el poder usar 5g y tener un mejor procesador.2: Es muy bueno y las fotos son lo que se puede esperar de un gama alta de Samsung.3: Me llegó en condiciones de casi nuevo, mucho mejor de lo que esperaba.4: Uno de sus dos puntos malos, la batería, tiene 90% de vida útil aún pero debes saber cómo optimizarla, si solo lo usarás para musica (que tiene muy buenas bocinas) (y soporta tanto aptx y ldac ) así como para trabajo normal está bien.Si eres como yo de uso rudo, baja la app Good Lock y usa distintas funciones para optimizar la batería sin perder calidad.5: Cómprale una Carcasa, ojo Carcasa no solo cristal templado, porque aunque tiene muy buen gorila glass si se puede romper en una caída sobre pavimento.6: Por último, dos cosas, puedes sumergirlo sin problema 😵‍💫, y aunque no le llegará android más actual aún no creo se deba rootear, va muy rápido y casi no se calienta.

Es como el vino, sigue funcionando excelente a pesar de los años, tiene buen rendimiento y cámara y esta en muy buen estado, lo recomiendo bastante, si buscas un gama alta a precio de gama baja es buen precio

Llego perfecto, y funciona perfectamenteBuenísima compra

adquirí este celular Samsung S20 FE 5g con el vendedor BuySPRY EN Condición EXCELENTE por 4000 MXN mi dispositivo llego en estado prácticamente nuevo, sin rayones en pantalla o en chasis ninguna marca de como dije prácticamente como nuevo, eso si llego en una caja genérica con accesorios genéricos pero funcionales, el teléfono funciona excelente fluido, y rápido. lo único punto malo es la batería; si buscas un teléfono que te dure 2 días este no es para ti, fuera de eso muy buen dispositivo por el precio, llego con parche de seguridad del 1 de enero del 2021y UI 3. sí ves comentarios que no llegan los dispositivos o que llegan en pésimas condiciones o que llega sin cargador o con arañazos muy marcados es porque ellos compraron la opción más barata que es condición regular o buena (lo cual no es malo, pero no esperes un teléfono como nuevo), no te dejes llevar por los comentarios, es mejor que tu mismo lo pruebes y veas si te conviene o no.SEGUIRE ACTUALIZANDO ESTA RESEÑA SI PRESENTA ALGUNA FALLA O ALGO POR EL ESTILO, SUERTE CON TU COMPRA :)Actualizacion 1( Despues de una semana de uso) el dispositivo cumple con lo prometido, la bateria utilizando una app de terceros indica que la capacidad esta en un 90% de vida. Despues de actualizar hasta el ultimo parce de seguridad 1 de julio del 2023 con Android 13 y One UI 5.1 hace un buen rendimiento tanto de bateria y potencia del dispositivo la camara es de exelente calidad y bastante desente
