The Samsung Galaxy S25 USA variant includes specific mmWave and low-band frequencies, such as n71, as well as mmWave bands 257, 258, 260, and 261. The global/international version supports a wider range of Sub-6 GHz bands, including n28 and n78, but generally does not support high-frequency mmWave. T-Mobile: n41 + n71 + n25/n2 + n77, Verizon: n77 + n5/n2/n66 + mmWave, AT&T: n77 + n5/n2/n66
So if the Global S25 you're considering has n28 and n78 but is missing n71/n41/n77, that's a much bigger concern for US use than simply not having mmWave.
A few generations ago, the global version of the Galaxy S series used Samsung's Exynos chipset, while the USA and Japan versions used Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets. Now, both the USA and global versions use the same chipset, so the main differences are the supported network bands and regional configurations.
This refurbished Galaxy S25 Ultra deal stands out for a big flagship upgrade at a relatively low price, especially since the price gap between Good, Very Good, and Excellent is small. The US version is unlocked with one SIM, and the phone keeps the S Pen while dropping microSD support. Battery life and refurb condition are the main concerns, with reports of dead batteries, moisture warnings, and occasional display or hygiene issues. It looks strongest for buyers who want the S25 Ultra hardware and can live with refurb uncertainty.
Samsung power users coming from an older S22 Ultra, because the battery life and overall experience are a major step up.
A new battery is not included, and buyers specifically questioned why an "Excellent" refurb would not have one. Battery concerns are a recurring issue here, including reports of completely dead batteries on arrival and long-term battery wear on Samsung Ultra models.
Unlocked units can work overseas if the local carrier bands match, and a local SIM or roaming can be used. The listing also says it will not work overseas, so international compatibility is not guaranteed by the seller description.
I have the S23U but the screen just died on me. Thinking if I should go with this or replace the screen? any thoughts?
If you have samsung care then id suggest holding onto it still, the difference between the 2 phones isnt really drastic apart from the curved screen. The standout feature for the s26u was the privacy screen thing but idk i could live without it. Also the camera bump on the 26u is god awful. I got the s23u when it launched and didnt feel the need to upgrade until now but calling it an upgrade is a stretch. Im waiting on a deal so I can go back to the 23
If you're comparing Pixels to another brand, you probably should think about owning a Pixel. It's moreso a fan for those who desire certain features like call screen which no other company is near as effective with dealing with spam. Hold for me maybe a bit better on IOS honestly.
Pixels are moreso for die hard fans who desire certain things.
The Pixel 10 for 320 with a year service at Mint during the summer was too good a deal to worry about the tradeoffs of owning one vs. the S26. Photos and features like call screen are stellar, and for your average user not emulating Switch on their phone or playing demanding games, Pixel is sufficient. All the big three are behind on charging and battery capacity right now compared to Chinese brands.

There's always a (?) on refurbs. I've gotten an "excellent" one with earwax in the earpiece, only visible under magnification... it was very gross. I have no idea why the owner had that much earwax.
If earwax only visible under magnification is "a lot of earwax" - I'm afraid you don't know what a lot of earwax is.

really the improvements since the S23U have been extremely minimal. The main reason I want to upgrade my S22U is the battery life being awful and only gotten worse over the years. Aside from that, I wouldn't be considering an upgrade. But they've not offered a good trade in deal since the S22U in 2022. I got it for $300 brand new with the trade in of my Note 10+

Definitely was better back then I traded in my s21u for a s22u and got 1000 dollars in trade in credit it was insane

Don't forget s23 ultra ten times zoom compared to the newer ones which are way worse.
Also the s22 and s23 screens are way better than the 24.

Unfortunately I agree, with "deals" starting basically at the beginning of October I feel like they've been much worse lately
