I am really sick of these ebay "open box" deals. If it is ebay and it is open box, it means it is used. Why not just call it that. They should just do away with the open box designation. There is no way a 4+ year old phone is truly "open box". Open box is supposed to mean that it was bought new, but was opened by a customer which then returned it during the return period (10-14 days, maybe 30 days max). No way there's a bunch of "open box" phone for a 4+ year old phone. The math doesn't add up.

I bought a similar s10e from Amazon renewed in 'refurbished' condition from this seller. It was a dented, dinged, and scratched phone with a battery that drops 1% every 24 seconds.

IIRC, There is a procedure to check your battery capacity on Android phones. I had to do do it with a Pixel 3 I got off Woot!. Would die 10 minutes after a "full" charge and it was "guaranteed" to be 80% capacity but the test I performed showed somewhere around 430 mAh of battery.
I'll have to dig around for it, it was something I stumbled across on reddit. I don't think it was specific to the pixel 3 but maybe.

Do share if you find it! That sounds like a helpful test

Are you talking about AccuBattery app? It isn't exact but gives a good estimate of capacity.
My S10 (4 years old) has like 70% capacity last I checked. Not too great but can still live with it.
I really hate all phones after S10 series. Is it really so hard to give me the 3.5mm jack and SD slot? Why did Samsung feel the need to just start copying iphone. If I wanted an iPhone I would buy one. Doesnt help the smaller manufacturers like LG left the phone market.

I looked back through my reddit history and email, could not for the life of me find it. I can't remember if it was a secret menu item or by booting into recovery mode. Been almost 2 years and I just can't recall.

Hey, what does the word pro next to your name signify? Always wondered what that meant specifically
