Most of what he said was right tho.
S21 only gets about 1 year of updates, s22=2, s23=3, but s24=7. That's a big difference.

Stick to Amazon for refurbished phones. Ebay has not been the best experience for me.

I always wonder with these refurbished phones.... how do you know they didn't replace the original cracked gorilla glass with some thin cheap chinese glass that will break the first time you drop the phone?

I've just been looking at these and the refurbished ones on Amazon and I'm getting the feeling most of these are phones where someone cracked their screen and these guys buy them for cheap and replace the screens with Chinese ones that crap out soon after you buy them. I was looking into getting an s20 screen replaced and it was $290. They said they only used OEM screens because other cheap aftermarket ones had problems. So...I'd stay away.
I was worried about this as well. I've had several screens replaced and they always break so easily after. Finally a store told me that they don't get the OEM screens, they get cheap chinese ones. and that the structural intergirty of the phone is compromised once opened, and they are 1000 X more likely to break when dropped. I finally gave up and if my screen breaks, I just buy a new phone. Cheaper in the long run, then getting it replaced over and over again.

Any one has experience with battery condition for these refurbished phones ?
I had good luck with woot, I was buying their scratch and dent phones and the both of them I came with no scratches os and were like 87%. Ebay, I got an LG Wing which I bought granite refurbished and it was like 96% battery. One time I got a note 9 refurbished that that was supposed to be in good condition which meant at least 80 or 85% battery health and it was only 77% battery health.

Wish it was like a borderline case. So I've had better luck with woot than eBay. Look I've had some good luck at eBay too. I mean I grabbed the brand new LG v60 a few years ago and that was perfect. Sealed, legitimate all the way etc....

4 years of OS updates but 5 years of security patches. So I guess that would probably mean it was released with Android 11, 12,13, 14. But we'll still get at least another year of probably like quarterly security patches after that.

$326 brand new on eBay. 98.9% feedback. 26,949 items sold.

Id rather not take the risk on a used one. The battery is old already. This is factory sealed, unopened, from a good seller.

FYI , there is no "NEW' in box S21 ultra. I bought one a few weeks ago and it looked new, but it was not! I went into the call counter and it showed that the phone had over 200 call hours on it. The screen digitizer was apparently replaced with a cheaper non OEM. Palm swipe to take screenshot did not work and other issues. Also suspicious, the samsung Box does not have any serial number sticker or other on it...
Long story short. The 'new in box' are not new. I ended up buying from a 'certified Samsung' refurbisher (paid a little more than, about $280 with one year warranty and so far so good'

Most of these phones have stopped being produced years ago. All the new stock has been sold, sort of.
I'm still stuck on the s20 because I need an SD card.
I recently bought an s20 ultra, from eBay. I was fully expecting to receive some refurbished one and have to analyze the screen and return it.
Turned out it was new, but it was a former carrier locked phone that had been flashed to the unlocked firmware.
It was in an OEM box with all sealed OEM accessories, matching serial numbers on box and phone. And still had all the protective plastic on the front back and even around the perimeter of the phone.
But yes, on overwhelming majority they're all going to be crappy refurbs

"New. A brand-new,
unused, unopened,
undamaged item in its
original packaging (where
packaging is applicable).
Packaging should be the
same as what is found
in a retail store"

If this seller sold you an open box, it's super easy to get your money back from eBay. Just return the phone, should be no issues.

I have purchased phones from eBay and also been scammed. They were easy returns. But there still are some people who sell "New", original factory seal. It's less common but it does happen.
