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.
Received mine today. It was supposed to be "excellent".
Observations:
-Phone is physically visually in perfect shape, no scratches.
-Generic box
-Generic charger
-Pin to open the sim slot. There is a sim slot btw.
Now the bad part:
- the phone battery was completely dead and when attempting to charge it the phone throws a message to unplug the cable immediately due to water detected.
- there is another message that says the software is "Beta" and you should expect bugs.
We've detected moisture or foreign material in your charging/USB port.
Check your charging/USB port for any foreign material such as dust or debris. To prevent damage to your phone, don't plug anything in until the charging port is clean and the moisture is gone.
To dry the port, shake out any moisture, then wait for it to dry, which could take several hours. You can speed up drying by pointing a fan or dryer (cool air only) at the port.
In the meantime, you can charge your phone wirelessly

Glad I didn't order. These ebay refurbished deals are massive hit or miss. Not worth the hassle even with free returns.
The excellent condition one I received didn't meet expectations. Description says no scratches on the screen and no visible sign of wear on the body, yet there's an obvious deep scratch under the pre-installed screen protector and the frame has clear scuffs on it as well. Also, while I don't really care, it's supposed to come with a charger but that's also missing. Just has a cable and SIM ejector. Returning it.
