Review: Excellent so far - I ordered it on Sept 20th at $339 plus shipping of ~$34 and Morocco VAT of ~$80, so totally I paid $449. Delivery was very good. I saw it was shipped on the 25th. On the 30th, I received an SMS from DHL saying they planned delivery on Oct. 3rd, but on the same day I got an email asking for copy of national ID and content description for clearing customs. I am not a Morocco residents nor citizen, so I sent my foreign passport instead. On the 3rd, desertcart tracking info said clearing custom was delayed as additional documents were needed. So I called DHL, and the rep said it would be delivered on the 4th instead. On the 4th, I saw a newly posted message about delay on desertcart tracking. I called DHL various times but couldn't get to anyone. I then sent an inquiry by email and get a response shortly saying it was being taking care of. Then late afternoon, I got the package. Upon arriving, the seal of the packing had an opening large enough to put in a hand but not for getting the phone out, so I didn't complain. Unpacked, the inner packing of the phone was in excellent condition, very much like the original packing but had no Samsung marking, rather, it had a marking of "desertcartrenewed". There was a film covering the screen, like on a new phone. The phone appeared in excellent condition, only had a small scratch at the back when I looked in detail, and a hair of scratch on the screen that is only visible under bright light and in a particular angle. I tried but couldn't turn on the phone - there was no response. The box also included a USB-C cable and a cheap non-Samsung charger made in China. I used my own Samsung Charger to charge the phone. After plugged in, it showed the battery was at 0. So I let it charge to full. After started, it turned out fully unlocked. My Morocco sim card works with 4G. The phone's software looked already reset, but I reset it myself anyhow. Then updated to the latest system with Android 12, and loaded many apps I need. During about the first week, the battery appeared quite poor. With medium usage it lasted about a day. I tried all necessary settings to conserve battery, but it didn't seem to help much. These couple days, it becomes much better, lasting about 45 hours. I read it was likely due to some AI processes either from Android 12 or Samsung doing the learning work at first. But it's pretty bad the phone doesn't show any info. I would say I am very happy with the phone. And this is after having a terrible experience in the past with Samsung. The last Samsung phone I had was S7 Edge bought in Thailand (I am a traveler), new at a Samsung store for perhaps ~$800. I actually wanted the normal S7 (without the "edge"), but it was out of stock then. I never liked the "edge", it was a silly design in my mind. The phone worked well initially, but in the coming couple of years I had a terrible experience. About 5 months later when I was in Vietnam, the screen started to show shaded bands across. As I was wondering how or if I should return to Thailand to get the phone serviced, the bands disappeared after a month. Then about another 7 months later when I was in Azerbaijan, the phone couldn't start after I did a system update. So I couldn't use the phone for a couple weeks until I reached Tbilisi in Georgia when I had someone flashed it. About a year later, it died on me again when I was in Morocco. I had someone re-flashed it, but it was not successful. About 1 month later I reached the city of Fes where there is a Samsung service center. After checking, they said there was something wrong with the motherboard. Very shocking! I've never had such problem in my life with all the phones and computers, cheap or dear, and this was a flagship! So eventually, I sold it to a local repair shop for $200, for which they said they only needed the screen. That was end of 2017. So I never bought a Samsung again, and would definitely not buy one at the full price. I admit the S series is not worthless. At least, I like the camera. But I never had a chance to buy one at a largely reduced price (I won't buy from just any second-hand sellers). So now, the desertcart reviewed phone with some warranty got me interested. Yes, I have some risk, but to me with the past experience, the risk is not much higher than getting a new phone from Samsung, plus, I am putting in a much lower bet now.
Review: Great quality. Great price. - This phone was in excellent condition and works well....a huge cost savings. I was not afraid to purchase it as my last refurbished phone lasted 5-6 years. A BIG NOTE: my son could not get the first phone to work with his straight talk plan. The error could have been on his end or a problem with the phone. This seller's customer service was excellent and they sent us a prepaid label to return it right away. The 2nd phone they sent worked perfectly from the get go.

### ⭐ Bad Battery, Bad service, Shoddy "renewal"
*by L***D on August 14, 2026*

We had two problems with this purchase. The first is that the (initial) package was likely stolen off our porch on delivery (though all we really know is that we did not get the reportedly delivered phone) and it was required by Amazon that I communicate with the seller multiple times to request a replacement. The seller ultimately refused a replacement! Amazon thankfully stepped up and issued a refund after all these communications and a refusal from the seller, thought it was a hassle. We (foolishly) decided to take a flyer and ordered another of the same phone (renewed S21) from the same seller because my teenage son just wanted that type of phone and they were the only seller. This second phone arrived, looked fine, and we set it up. My son reported terrible battery life after only a couple weeks. I thought it was probably just a teenager playing too much videogame. After 4 months though it was clear that battery life was terrible. Worse than the normal expected of an S21. 3 weeks after that it would barely hold a charge and we had to scramble to get photos off of it. Today, we noticed the battery swelling so much it was forcing the glued on back of the phone off! So the battery was trash to begin with. Now we have the thing in a metal trash can in case it catches on fire until a new phone arrives and we can possibly use this garbage to set up the new phone. So bad service to begin with and a poorly renewed phone after that. I'll avoid this seller for sure and probably not buy a "renewed" phone from Amazon without longer battery warranties.
