not new it's used 90 day warranty
locked to straight talk


Your Straight Talk phone has been activated for at least 12 months on a Straight Talk plan.
At the bottom of the page in condition it says "Brand New".

Also straight talk is under the tracfone umbrella, which means once you activate the device it can be unlocked after 60 days.
If you go to the tracfone unlock request page, you can see the straight talk icon is the first listed on the top of the page: https://www.tfwunlockpolicy.com/


All that being said, it looks like a good deal
Straight Talk cell plans start at $35, but if you chat with a tracfone rep they should be able to change the phone over to tracfone and their plans start at $15. So ~$185 + tax and shipping and in 60days you have a new unlocked A53... not bad

I see:
> A 90-day Warranty is included for free with every product on VIPOUTLET.
> Yup, we are confident in our refurbishment.
Huh?

If "Brand New", shouldn't it have the standard Samsung smartphone warranty?

Maybe. Maybe not. Their database of phone IMEIs and ICCIDs is pretty wonky.
Do you really want to waste a significant amount of time with know-nothing/unhelpful TracFone CSRs?

I know right? Funny to see. I think this is just a general statement they put on every product listing as the 90 day warranty applies to almost all items VIP sells.

Samsung A54 (and A34) will be launched the next 2-3 weeks and generally available in February. Expect further (clearance) price cuts.

Is this just speculation or based on some industry leak?

Generally, when new hardware is released, they have a tendency to blowout older inventory

Little disappointed they removed the headphone jack from bunch of phones like this. A52 had a headphone jack and technically they slightly more powerful chipset.

I hope when the a54 comes out they don't announce it. SD card support has been nerfed as well

Not pleased with the A53. Seems way slower than my A50 which has 2GB less RAM. Not sure why because I don't do anything extra that I didn't do on my A50.
