I was kind of nervous buying a refurbish device. After taking a chance and receiving the device, I am grateful I took that chance. So I am posting this review to ease anyone's reservation you may have. My fiance love it!

Definitely Worth It!

The phone came in perfect condition. It came with a Samsung charger, but not the right one for this phone model, haha (the charger is for old Android devices). It also came with a SIM card remover, a supposed 90-day warranty with the seller’s contact info, and a Mint mobile 7 day free trial. I’ve used it for a few days so far and there are no issues with battery life, screen, nor sound. If I ever encounter any problems, I may update this review. I love it so far!

Appears to be perfectly fine

Arrived super early, before tracking could even report it's movements Appears to be perfect; minor hair scratches on the screen, seems to have a screen cover on it already, minor charging port scratches, crystal back, truly a gorgeous color even if I'm just going to put a cover on it Not sure if this is an s9 thing or not, relatively heavy pressure needed to engage the touch screen (like typing or moving tiles). Changed the sensitivity to "screen protector" setting, MUCH better. Came in a plain white plastic envelope with a bubble-pack USPS flat-rate envelope inside that with a plain white box inside that. Wrapped in a bubble sheet inside the box. Very protected! Not the original charger. EDIT: Makes an alarming sound, will be purchasing a safe charger. Will be trying the new sim in it later (AT&T). EDIT: Woohoo! It works with AT&T, unlocked.

Looks like new! Works with T-Mobile US smoothly!

I was hesitant before buying a refurbished version based on some of the reviews. However, the price was a huge deal and I decided to give it a try. I chose purple version as it was a cheapest one. The device came in fantastic condition! Looked like new! I use US T-Mobile and it works smoothly. The only thing I did was to switch the SIM card from my old device. No need to call anybody, configurate anything, etc. There was also a manual attached with info on what to do if you have a problem with connection to your provider. The cable and charger included weren't the best, so I would advise to get a new one. It's still worth it anyway as the price is much more affordable than what is offered in stores!

Works like a charm

I will be utmost honest here. This is my first device review. I was hesitant to order a Certified Refurbished phone. Especially since it is...a phone. The meat and bone of daily life and communication. However, upon receiving the phone, everything was inside a white uniform box. Nothing special and nothing damaged at all. Simplistic and efficient packaging. The phone works great and no one can tell it isn't "Brand new". Absolutely no scratches or signs it has been touched by another human. 10/10 item and you save 100$ in the process by getting refurbished! I am switching from an iPhone 6 to this S9 on ATnT. Simply pull the SIM out and insert into s9 and you are ready to go.

Very Satisfied (Works with MetroPCS)

Overall I am very satisfied with this phone. Visually, the phone looks great and is in amazing condition. There are miniscule scratches in two of the corners, but it cannot be seen unless you are intently looking for a flaw. Either way, a case will cover the already unapparent blemishes. The rest fo the body of the phone looks like new, and it came with a thin protective film over the screen for temporary protection. In regards to software, it runs smoothly and is easily updated to the latest software available for the S9. I appreciated that there are no carrier-related bloat apps. I had to manually download MyMetro because I use it to pay my montly bill, but that's the only carrier-related app it came with. It also allows me to uninstall many of Google's bloat apps, so more internal storage for me. The phone arrived snuggly in a box along with a generic 3ft charger. This phone uses an USB-C type charger, so micro-USB cables won't fit. This phone came fully unlocked and I was easily able to get it activated through MetroPCS.

Wicked Smart Review. 7-Year Apple user. Not anymore.

🔫Note: This review will be updated numerous times as the phone ages. And be jealous of my green laser gun. Service Provider: STRAIGHT TALK Apple only user (7 years) BACKGROUND: My iPhone 5s went to poo 💩(For the second time in 7 years I lost an iPhone). Each time the "geniuses" told me my phone was not repairable and I had to buy a new phone. AND both times it was the charge connector that just went completely crap one day. Great. Looking back I guess I was part of the many brainwashed sheep with the one track mind thinking Apple leads all. But in reality, they are stuck in neutral. Since they lost Steve Jobs, no one has stepped up to be that Willy Wonka of cutting edge ideas and showmanship. And its blatantly obvious to me now. Oh and guess what? They now make the headphones use the same failure prone adapter on all new iPhones (meaning you cannot wire charge and listen to headphones), so I finally decided to stop eating rotten Apples. And I decided to Hitchhike a Ride on a Galaxy S9. Now I know you'll say a 5s is older and its comparing apples and oranges (that pun was unintentional🤮...my apoligies), but my friend has an iPhone X and let me try it. It wasn't that much different of an Apple experience. And it was 400 more than this phone. (I apologize for my overt digressions, but phones are a huge investment and I try to make my reviews thorough and whatever the perfect opposite of boring is...I hope.) Day 1: I'm really $%@!$& nervous. Did I make the right decision? I'm a textbook overthinker. I went without a phone for 9 days trying to decide. And here I am. Waiting on a refurbished Galaxy S9. Finally Delivered. First box is the typical smaller Amazon box. Second inside is a small white box. Very simple worry-free packaging. Inside that box was the phone, A/C adaptor, charge cord, and a paper with quickstart and APN help. Also a card from Amazon saying contact the seller first with a problem blah blah Charlie Brown teacher voice blah blah blah. So I have made a few certified refurbished electronic purchases in the past and they worked out great, so I was not as apprehensive as maybe a refurb greenhorn might be. But listen. Phone is in hand now. And this phone is stunning. Immaculate. I went over it and it looks COMPLETELY brand new. The screen is perfect. Don't be afraid. Jump in the water. Buy refurbished. Ok...so here is my first negative, but its petty really. I bought the "lilac" colored phone because I love light colored purples like lilac and lavender. Only this isn't really either. I'd call this more of a pinker color with a hint of purple, but its still sleek and nice and can be covered up with a case if needed. Ok so physical condition out of the box I'd give a solid grade A+ Now for the SIM card. Again I am a Straight Talk user (looooove them...4 years strong now). My iPhone has been tanked and off for about 9 days. I popped out the SIM card from the rotten phone, popped out the Samsung SIM tray and dropped in the SIM, pushing the tray back flush. Powered the phone on. Without going through every single step, the setup was so easy and seamless. It automatically found my service provider, so I would say this is pretty much as close to plug and play as you can get. So awesome. I am falling hard like Pete for Ariana for this phone... Well...I've been playing with the phone for a few hours now. I cannot put it down. So many things are infinitely better than Apple. I'm going to list a few and stop the review for Day 1. And if you made it this far, peace and love neighbor. Happy phone hunting. You're beautiful🌞🌜⛱🌚🌟 1. Customization: THEMES! I can't stop trying these out. They change the sounds and wallpapers and App icons and probably other cool stuff I don't realize all at once. They are so cool. Text messages look different. And the wallpapers can be animated. Lock screens can be videos. I am admittedly geeking a little. Android systems let you change soooooooo much. And I am a customization freak. Not only can you choose from hundreds of free and paid themes on the Google Play store, but you can choose from so many different fonts as well (and you can choose from tons for free and money the same way). You can set the order of so many things, it's just the coolest. Oh and here is a great one. For the OCD users like me, who hated when you couldn't delete an apple app, you still have those on Android you cannot delete as well. BUT YOU CAN HIDE THEM! 2. The button clicks are addictive. It feels like you are pushing a button when its the bare screen. I have a screen protector on AND and phone case and it's still extremely responsive. 3. The swiping motions aren't that different from Apple. I'm navigating like a pro. I'm sure there are how-to videos I need to watch to learn all of the shortcuts, but I'm doing just fine. Ok. Enough for now. I'm jonesing to play with the phone waaaaaay more. Ask any questions you want. I will answer all I can. I will update this review as I see the need. Peace and Love, The Muffin Man

Great buy! Was nervous, but very satisfied!

Nothing to worry about. Seems like a trusted seller. Has 90day warranty and phone came in Amazom rewards box with charging assecories. I try avoiding contracts and paying double the phones value and just purchase it cheap, slap my sim into the phone, adjust apn settings and keep rolling. If you have straight talk look up Gs9 apn settings to activate data. And goto apps manager in settings, click 3 dots goto system apps and force stop "sprint omadm" to get rid of pesky alert.

Works on MetroPCS

I was worried after I ordered and the item shipped. Because I saw after that it would not work on metropcs however I checked the IMEI on metropcs website and it said it would work. I placed my chip from the old phone in but it said no network so I could not make calls. But I remembered that the last time I used an unlock phone on Metropcs I had to call them so they could switch over the network so I called and they said just inserting the chip doesn't register the device with them you have TO CALL from another phone and give them the IMEI number so they can hook it up. The phone looks great came a day early and I love it. No scratches looks brand new only the charger is slow charging so I want to get an OEM from samsung as I fear the generic charger may cause damage to the phone if used to long.

Coming from the S8, it is very pleasing to ...

Coming from the S8, it is very pleasing to hold! It is thicker, so it doesn't seem to be slippery as much. Truthfully, I bought it for the stereo speakers, but the Dolby Atmos just enhannces the overall sound experience
