Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G, US Version, 128GB, Gray - Unlocked (Renewed)

It started with ordering a renewed Samsung S5E Tablet that won me over to ordering Amazon Renewed electronics. That well regarded tablet arrived without a mark on it, a charger and cable. It works perfectly and I use it almost every day. I especially like the DeX mode for some work-related tasks. Being the "thrifty" guy that I am, I set maximum price limits on many products that I buy. Phones are in that group of products. I don't think it necessary to buy the latest Flagship phones from any of the major phone brands or even many of their high-end models. When introduced the Samsung 21 FE 5G had many positive reviews with one major complaint, for its high price, considering it was supposed to be a value product. After a bad drop of a OnePlus 7T that killed the screen of my wife's phone, it was time to order two new phones [that is, new for us], one for her and one for me. I'm a tech guy and I always order two of the same phones since it's easier for me to support a single model of phone. Having used Samsung phones years ago but then moving to ZTE and the OnePlus, these S21 FE phones have been terrific after one month of use and renewed my interest in Samsung phones. The phones arrived in like new condition without any marks or scratches on either phone. Unlike the new models these both came with 20W chargers and good quality 5ft cables. These phones have a plastic case which I prefer, as plastic is less fragile than glass, which is another reason for me to NOT buy flagship phones. I am also not so concerned with the appearance or color of the phones since I immediately put them in a case and install tempered glass screen protectors on all my phones. Among the many positives are the 120HZ screen response is a pleasure to use, battery life has been excellent lasting for more than a day for normal use including text, calls, email, YouTube and some streaming, terrific camera, good stereo speakers, charges very quickly with the supplied chargers but also with the 25W aftermarket chargers that I have for these phones. Both Fingerprint and Face recognition work consistently and more quickly than other phones I have used. Bluetooth and WiFi connect quickly without any dropouts, and speed on T-Mobile 5g for phone and Home Internet has been consistent within the T-Mobile performance spec for my location. I am not a gamer so I can't provide a meaningful review for that. The only negative I can report is for the amount of Samsung bloatware and the numerous and annoying notifications, which can luckily be turned off. These are two excellent phones that I bought for less than half the price of one new one. And the Amazon renewed program is a good and safe option for many purchases as it also includes a 90-day return policy if there is any dissatisfaction with the product.

Got this phone in July, it was perfect, exactly what I needed! I loved it! Although I could never get a call to come through on any device that was blue toothed, I could have sound but not for the call. Within a week of the return date passing, the wifi setting will not work. I try to turn it on and nothing happens, I even reset my phone and I still have this issue. My battery now will not hold a charge longer than a few hours, even if I'm not on it and nothings running. I have to charge it at least once during the day, if not twice no matter how much I'm on it. So between the no wifi, the battery that wont stay charged, and the bluetooth issues I am upset with my purchase. I have reached out multiple times to them and they have not responded to me. I have even gone to other service centers, and they said I can't do anything without contacting the seller. I am mad at this! It's a brand new phone and I am looking into another new one, which is upsetting because I just bought this one! Will not buy again!! Upon further research it seems at some point this phone, samsung s 21 fe, will have issues, bluetooth, wifi, charging, etc. Everything I looked at people were having the same wifi issue, or some sort of other issue. Would not recommend this phone, splurge a little more and upgrade to a samsung s21

My phone has no scratches, dings, chips or marks, looks brand new. My son set it up for me, then I did the Smart Switch to transfer everything from my other Samsung S21 phone into this one. . So far everything seems to be working just fine and I am very happy and pleased with this purchase. This S21 FE refurbished cell phone is a little bigger than my original S21, a little heavier too but that's ok. I am still using my original S21 for phone calls so can't say how it works that way. I may someday if I have issues with my other phone. It probably would work fine by how it is operating now. Charges quickly and seems to hold a charge a bit longer than my other S21, which is nice. I do wish there were more color options for the home screen. Otherwise, I am very happy with this refurbished S21 FE cell phone. I highly recommend this cell phone. I am on a low, fixed income, so to be able to buy this high of a quality cell phone and save so much money, is great!! Thank you Amazon for selling these and thank you to the seller for providing such a good quality product at such excellent savings!

UPDATE. Sixty days later, (never mistreated the phone), I notice a very fine hairline crack across the glass, edge to edge, only visible in sunlight with no image. I can feel it when I run my fingertip across the glass. So. Not perfect. Past the return date. I'll live with it, but maybe no more 'refurbished' phones for me. Looks new, works fine. typical android setup, went ok. Won't upgrade to Android 16, but 15 is fine. Not sure why it won't take 16 though. Message says something about compatibility. I replaced a S10e because I needed a phone with Android 13 or newer. This does the trick. Only 150 bucks, and I can sell my S10e on ebay, making the total cost of this phone quite reasonable indeed.

The phone arrived in good condition. It didn't come with a sim card though. Once we got a sim card it hooked up fine. Everything works great except that about a month after we got it, it wouldn't stay connected to our wifi! It keeps disconnecting! When I try to go in the phone and try to turn the wifi on, it says it is turning on but it doesn't and I can't even see the available networks to try to switch to another network because the phone wifi has to be on to see the networks and it won't turn on! Other than that everything else works great. The battery life is fair, it lasts for the whole day with moderate use. Screen quality and sound quality are normal. Camera is good.

had problems after about a year it gets too hot while charging and stops taking charge after 1 minute so it only charges to 20% in 72 hours

I've only had this product for not even 6 months and it glitched tonight at work, I had to do a hard reset and now it's not turning on. I've tried plugging it in and nothing. It's a paperweight at this point and I'm so irritated, reached out to the company and haven't gotten a response yet but hoping they can help somehow. I literally use this phone for work and school and now I can't even reach my boss to let her know it's not working as it's my only communication. If I could give zero stars, I honestly would.

Compatibilty is a plus responsiveness is a plus color is what i wanted speed and sound quality is great as well plus the camera is perfect i love thing

El teléfono venia en excelentes condiciones, ningun rayon en la pantalla ni por otro lado, porque mas que busque un detalle minuciosamente no encontre nada, el teléfono prácticamente parece nuevo, tiene buen desempeño, no calienta el procesador como segun muchos hablan, se calienta de manera normal, solo que se descarga un poquito rapido, ese seria el unico detalle del teléfono de ahi en todo es perfecto, lo volvería a comprar por segunda vez, ya que no me arrepiento para nada de mi compra, recomiendo mucho comprar con SIXVIL 👍

Al principio tenía mis dudas al comprarlo, creí que me llegaría con golpes en las esquinas, o rayones en la pantalla, tal vez hasta estrellado, pero al menos a mi me llego bien me llego en un excelente estado, no dudaría en volverlo a comprar, al encenderlo lo cheque, la cámara, la batería, la calidad de pantalla, el touch, todo y funciona perfecto hasta ahorita, pero funciona bien, si tiene detallitos muy pequeños que en realidad casi no se notan y eso que soy muy especial en eso, ya que siempre se usará con funda creo que cale la pena comprarlo, lo recomiendo por mi experiencia si, me llego bien a mi espero le sea útil, todo bien me llego en 1 semana y media.

I was shopping for a new used phone on Kijiji but was concerned about possible scams. I gave Amazon a shot and to my surprise I found this S21 FE for $50 less than the best price I could get on Kijiji. With good reviews and a money back warranty it was not a hard decision to place the order. This phone arrived bubble wrapped in a plain brown box. The plastic wrap on the phone was still intact as if it was brand new from the manufacturer. It said renewed but it looked brand new. Not a mark on it. Two weeks in and it has lived up to my expectations. Battery is strong and everything is working great.

Great phone, no issues, fast reliable soooo many extra options

El producto me llego hace dos semanas, lo estuve poniendo a prueba en este periodo y he de decir que es la mejor compra que he realizado, cumple con todo lo que dice, y al ser un dispositivo reacondicionado llego en excelentes condiciones, en mi caso no venia con ningun detalle fisico, prácticamente nuevo, además de que tuve la suerte que me llego con cargador original cosa que me encanto por que normalmente es generico, no me arrepiento en absoluto, el dispositivo venia desbloqueado en mi caso yo uso telefonía telcel y me funciona excelente.
