Review: Short on battery life, but good phone generally - I've had the phone for a few days now. First off, as a refurbished phone this phone was in perfect condition. It looked brand new out of the box. The phone also came with a charger which I was not expecting as I was reading the phone did not come with one new in box. My biggest gripe with the phone thus far is the battery life is atrocious. I understand that's the trade off here: you're getting a phone that folds in half, so the battery is half the size give or take. But after only a few hours of use it's ready for charging again. I have reduced my brightness much of the time, and I've also made it so the screen turns itself off after 2 minutes instead of 10 to help reduce battery drain. The outside screen is nice to use for a viewfinder for taking selfies, especially if you want to use the wide angle lens for taking pictures. It's nice to be able to respond to texts and the like as well using voice to text, but being able to use an on screen keyboard would be nice. The screen is probably just a bit too small for that though. I do wish there were slightly more functionality to the outside screen than what we get. Having an app launcher on the outside screen would be good, or being able to use some apps in a contained form on the smaller screen would be good so you don't have to open the phone up fully if you just wanted to do something quick like scroll some a website or a social feed. Having access to more widgets would be nice, or having the widgets be more customizable or dynamic would be good. For example, the events widget would be good if it could display a week's events at a glance instead of just today's events. Otherwise you have a blank widget to scroll through. The folding action is smooth and works a lot better than what I expected. Although when this is the whole gimmick of the phone, you'd hope that the company would get this right. However looking at the 4 models of this phone, you can see the hinge has changed with each iteration so it does seem they're still tweaking things. This on does open and close smoothly. It is a bit "stiffer" than what I'd have thought thinking back to flip phones of yesteryear, but it's not jerky or anything. It is a smooth action. The phone will stay in any position along the fold that you place it in, which is nice for video chatting so you can angle the phone in a way that is easiest for visibility based on the surface it is placed on. I've seen people in videos on YouTube put a thumb under the screen and flip the phone open like a pocket knife. This works, and it appears they open the phone like this regularly, but something just feels wrong to me about it. Maybe that will change over time for me, but knowing the screen is only protected by plastic makes me feel like I might damage the screen panel underneath if I'm too aggressive in opening the phone that way. The closing action is satisfying, especially having the phone set to hang calls up with flipping it closed. I've used it to hang up on a robo call already and it's :chefskiss:. Yes, there is a crease in the middle of the phone. Yes you can feel it. Yes you can see it. Yes it's expected, it's a folding phone. No I don't mind it or care. I'm, personally, not a fan of Samsung's One UI, or any of their UI systems through the years going back to TouchWiz. I'm coming from a Motorola device and would have gone with another Motorola device, except the Razr was exceptionally inferior to this phone every step of the way with the exception of the external screen and the camera was listed as being slightly better in low light. Vanilla Android is my jam. I've disabled Bixby and made my power button a power button again. There are plenty of things that I'm not used to in a Samsung device at this point yet, and things that Android can do that Samsung's One UI does not allow for. Some examples are the dashboard on the power menu for gpay/Google wallet payment methods and Google home devices, being able to bubble specific conversations from all messaging applications (Facebook messenger included) and being able to set custom notification sounds for each conversation, and having call screening from the Google phone app as just a few examples. It will take some adjusting to get used to Samsung's way of handling things, but so far it's a small price to pay for the better specs that come with this phone versus the Razr 5g. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase, and the fact that I went refurbished. You can't beat the price for something that was pretty much like a brand new phone out of the box. The fact I got a phone that retails for around $800 brand new for less than half the price is a no brainer. I used to exclusively buy refurbished phones and started buying them brand new for a few years. I'm not working right now and broke my phone that I just bought in July to replace the same exact phone I dropped in a sewer (I'm not this irresponsible with phones and have never done anything like this before) and decided to look around. This phone cost me $30 more than what it would have cost me to buy the same phone again brand new from desertcart. Tl;Dr: Good quality phone overall, good specs, battery leaves much to be desired. Don't be scared of refurbished, as long as it's manufacturer refurbished, or in this case, desertcart refurbished so long as you have a warranty. This phone came out of the box looking brand new and works perfectly. Couldn't be happier with my purchase unless there were a way to flash vanilla Android on it.
Review: Really cool phone but be aware there are some significant changes to the design - I bought this renewed Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 phone because most other phones on the market were getting so large they barely fit in my pants pocket. This one being foldable easily fits. There were some big differences in this phone compared to all of my previous cell phones. For starters, there is no phone jack. Not a deal breaker if you have Blue Tooth ear buds. Second big difference, there is no slot of a micro SD memory card. I worked around that by buying a phone with 128 G of internal memory. That's more than enough for all of my music, games, photos and apps. The third big difference is there are 2 batteries, and they aren't easy to replace. Instead of just removing a cover, there is some disassembly involved to get to them. I may leave that to the "Pros" when the time comes to replace them. There are tons of videos out there demonstrating all of the features of this phone, so I won't go into detail about it. I will say that I watched a few of them to tweak some display and battery settings to extend the life of the battery such at limiting the percentage of charges. I just found out it's not good on a battery when you charge it 100%. Didn't know that before. For you Tracfone users, I will confirm that you can take this unlocked phone to Tracfone, put your sim card from your old phone in it, and with a little help from a Tracfone tech, be ready to use it in under 15 minutes. I thought I needed a Tracfone Sim card kit, and I didn't. In the past I had to wait a few hours up to a day for the new phone to be fully functional - not this time. Like I said, within 15 minutes it was working. I wear a hearing aid, and once I configured the phone to work with my hearing aid app, it used the Bluetooth to send audible notifications to my hearing aid. My wife is thrilled she doesn't have to hear my phone announce email and phone calls while we watch TV. I can also play music on my phone and hear it through my hearing aid. Cool! I'm 76 years old, and I found this phone relatively intuitive in its operation. It only took me a day or two of playing with it to learn my way around. So far I like it. I ordered screen protectors and a case to give it protection. As a renewed cell phone it arrived in excellent shape, like new. UPDATE 7/8/24 I did find one thing I really don't like about the Android 14 operating system - it's very difficult to turn on the Data setting. It's a convoluted path to reach a setting that offers only 1 option, to keep "data turned on when wi-fi isn't available" all of the time. For someone who uses prepaid Tracfone services that don't have unlimited data, I have to limit my usage of data. It took me a half hour to find directions how to access that setting, not fun!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this gsm or cdma?**
A: GSM

**Q: Is this phone 256gb or something  else**
A: It depends on the options chosen when making your purchase. From my experience this Questions and Answers section on Amazon is specific to the product pictures and does not change based on the options you've selected below the product photo. Currently on this product's page, Amazon allows for you to choose 128gb or 256gb, and different colors, these questions and answers are the same for everyone purchasing on this page regardless of their chosen configuration, so you're not just asking the specific audience that you may believe that you are.  This section is only accurate to ask about specs or abilities of the product that can not be changed when ordering.  This goes for any product page on Amazon.  Again, my experience, your mileage may vary. 

If you receive something different than what you pay for then go to the specific seller of your item.  Listings of products on Amazon can have different sellers shipping you an item while Amazon is still the one collecting payment for the same model/style of item. Sometimes the sellers aren't aware that they need to be specific in listing their items—but you will not get an accurate answer here of what is being sold on this page making it pointless to ask what selectable option was actually received by someone.  An example of what to use this section for is "does this charge using a USB C cable?" because no matter the options chosen here, everyone will be getting a phone with USB C charging.  I hope this prevents some shopper's dissatisfaction.

**Q: Ok i gotta ask i got a lg wing and what are the pros and cons of switching to this phone?**
A: The best for me so far

**Q: How long does the battery last?**
A: It depends on how many apps you have opened. the power the apps need and the duration of use. I have had weeks where I could go three days without a charge and weeks where It wont last the day. If your in the middle of nowhere it will continually look for a network (eats alot of charge) or playing graphics intensive aps for hours on end it will gp through a lot of life. I like the phone its a bit gimmicky but its something different which I give samsung props for. If you are getting a renewed check the specs you paid for (storage. capacity, does it have the head phones does it have the charger? etc.) because they are not always what is shown. Call Amazon if there is any issue and they can swap the phone out or adjust the price for what you are missing. I like mine, and I think the battery life is better then my partners pixel but she uses her phone more than me. The phone its self is five stars tne "renewal" process is worth  three.

### ⭐ 6 month update - 1 Star! Read update before buying!
*by D***H on August 4, 2023*

I'm not a fan of the 1980 garage door opener size that all modern phones have become. That's why I've been very curious about the smart flip since its intro. Finally it's old enough for an Amazon refurb to help with the ridiculous(!) pricing the companies are getting for their new equipment, flip and otherwise. However the phones are still current enough to function properly and act/feel factory new. This phone is literally my most favorite phone I've owned in at least a decade! The screen is crystal clear, the processing is super smooth and it functions flawlessly. The size when folded is just a massive bonus. BTW, there are a ton of functions available when closed using the small outer screen including speaker-phone answering, music controls, calendar, clock, etc. The new Z Fold may have more features but there is no way it's more than a grand better than this one! UPDATE: So 6 months in ,almost to the day, the joint of the screen went black and bleeding into the surrounding screens. The top half of the screen doesn't register your touch at all. When opening (unfolding) the phone, it opens random programs/apps then self-clicks on different parts of what it's opened with no rhyme or reason. The bottom of the fold screen only works probably 10-15% of the time. The only thing it's good for now is answering a call when it's closed which means the call is answered straight to speaker-phone. $400 for a couple of months. Don't waste your money! The response from the seller says Amazon only requires a 3 month warranty and adds " thanks for your understanding ". Just a complete slap in the face. The lesson here is; never buy anything expensive from Amazon. Their policies are not in our favor.
