——-Update 6 de mayo 2020———
La cámara se puso en un estado peor que antes. Ahora se escucha un clic cuando alguna app quiere acceder a la cámara (incluso la app de la cámara). La cámara se tarda en responder a pesar de que reinicie el celular y borre la caché de la camara. Era un gran teléfono ): ya incié el proceso de devolución.
——————————————–
En cuanto llegó el celular me percaté de que el cargador no era original (he visto vídeos de copias chinas) y efectivamente el cargador solo sirvió una vez y el cable era de la peor calidad posible. A pesar de eso, decidí darle una oportunidad a este teléfono. Lo usé un par de minutos y lo actualicé por completo pero me dí cuenta que la parte trasera no estaba bien. Parece que abrieron el teléfono y ya no les dio tiempo de cerrarlo correctamente. Por esta parte, dudo que tenga la protección IP68 y no me atrevo a sumergirlo.
Aun así, todo funcionó perfecto… hasta que abrí la cámara ): Al usarla por primera vez, parecía ir bien pero cuando abrí el modo x2 se empezó a congelar excesivamente al punto de que tenia que cerrar la cámara y volverla a iniciar pero después de unas cuantas fotos se pasmaba de nuevo ): Igualmente noté problemas con otras apps que usan la cámara, por ejemplo, whatsapp o un escaner, que decían tener error al abrir la cámara o abrían la cámara totalmente desenfocada sin oportunidad de enfocar. Tenía que cerrar la app y volverla a abrir para que funcionara de forma correcta. Al momento de esta review parece que encontré la solución a este problema. Haré update si funciona al 100%.
Estos fueron los pequeños grandes detalles que encontré en este teléfono. Todo lo demás funciona de maravilla: WiFi, NFC, Carga inalambrica, Bluetooth, micrófonos, bocinas, sensor de huellas, batería, flash, lector de ritmo cardiaco, etc…
Me quedaré este teléfono un par de días más a ver cómo se desenvuelve.

This is the second of the two Amazon Renewed items I’ve bought, the other was a Galaxy Tab, that has lived up to the good review score and impressed me with its condition. I got the S10+ which is only $20 more than the base model and has a bigger screen and 17% bigger battery. It looks and feels brand new, the only exception being the slightest amount of wear around the charging port. The screen works perfectly, with no pixel issues.
I’m very happy I decided to go with this formerly top-of-the-line 2019 model instead of the current versions. It looks and feels like a luxury item and the screen design stands out today against to the run-of-the-mill looking S20, 21, and 22 models (S22 Ultra excepted). I can’t believe how smooth the front screen is. It’s so smooth, in fact, that it begins to glide across any smooth surface that isn’t level, so it may end up somewhere other than where you left it like the hard floor. Safer to put it backside down.
The fingerprint reader is built in to the screen and thus invisible. I gave it 4 stars only because my previous phone has a dedicated reader on the back that is instant, and it’s what I’ve become accustomed to. The reader on the S10 takes about half a second to register. It has a cool factor, though, in that it works even with the screen off.
I gave the battery 4 stars because it was down to 75% after 1 day of light use which is a bit less than I had expected/hoped for. I feel like it got worse after I ran all the system updates vs how it behaved out of the box; I remember being surprised at how little the battery had gone down when doing all the app installations and settings. I have pretty poor cell reception though so it may be due to trying to constantly communicate with the cell tower. Also the battery screen says it’s “learning” my usage habits so hopefully it will improve.
That being said, these are minor sticking points compared to what you get, and overall its 4.5 – 5 stars for me. I doubt there is a phone anywhere near its specs and condition for the price, currently $220 for this formerly $1,000 phone. AMOLED, 522ppi (which is much higher than the current models), 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, USB-C charging, a Snapdragon 855, and it even has a microSD port which they have removed from the current Galaxy S’s.
I’ve read some reviews stating not all sellers end up sending the US version and to check your model number when it arrives. FWIW I bought from Chubbies and got a SM-G975U1 with the Snapdragon 855 and it works with TMobile.
Edit: surprisingly the display isn’t set to the max possible 3040 x 1440 by default. You need to go to settings -> display -> screen resolution to enable it. What the heck Samsung?

Creo que recibí algo recíproco a lo que pagué.
El teléfono llegó en tiempo, desbloqueado y con un cargador genérico.
Lo malo:
Tiene detalles la pantalla, se aprecian rayones cuando esta apagada la pantalla y en luz de día (con la pantalla encendida no se aprecian)
El cristal de la cámara trasera también tiene detalles aunque no afectan las fotos.
En la parte metálica inferior también tiene un detalle.
Lo bueno:
Vino desbloqueado
Bateria razonable
Es un buen teléfono
No pagué un montón como si lo hubiera comprado nuevo
Posible detalle mayor:
Sigo evaluando pero me he percatado que la velocidad de WiFi se cae bastante, solo lo hace este teléfono. La verdad no se si devolverlo por esto, me ha gustado mucho el teléfono pero si tiene este detalle

Jamás compren un Celular Renewed, es tirar su dinero, yo compré un Galaxy S10+ en $13,700 pesos Mexicanos y aunque la descripción dice que te dan 90 días de garantía, es una MENTIRA, la pila del celular no dura, lo tengo que estar cargando varias veces al día y cuando me comuniqué para solicitar la devolución, me dijeron que no podían hacer nada, que me comunicara a Samsung para solicitar la garantía, lo cual es una estupidez, la garantía de fábrica ya expiró, es un producto USADO, si no van a dar los 90 días, mejor no pongan nada, el vendedor es GECV Electronics y no hay forma de contactarlo desde la plataforma de Amazon. Qué decepción de Amazon!

Estoy sumamente contento y complacido con la compra, el producto sólo vino con 2 raspones en la parte de las orillas que ni se notan, lo único que me preocupaba era que la pantalla viniera bien y parecía como nueva.
Me encanta todo de este equipo, yo tenía el s10, pero se ahogó y tuve que reemplazarlo… Me alegro mucho de este plus, ya que viene con Snapdragon 855, que se nota mucho más al momento del calentamiento y rendimiento de la pila, los juegos no se calientan y dura más su autonomía…
La batería, según GPU Z dice que está en buen estado
El cargador y cable son genéricos como dice la descripción, el repartidor corroboró mis datos y todo fue magnifico, mi compra fue con Thegadgetdeals, muchísimas gracias!
Comprar productos así son un riesgo, pero siento que en Amazon el riesgo se nitiga un poco más.

Tenia miedo acerca de lo que se dice acerca de los teléfonos renovados , sin embargo todo fue perfecto desde el equipo en perfectas condiciones hasta el tiempo de envío.
Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
Al 100%

I was fairly cautious buying a refurbished phone for the first time but I feel that the first thing I should put here is that I was VERY surprised by the quality received. The phone was nearly spotless and functioned with the snappy response you would want to see from a flagship phone (even a two year old one). As advertised it comes in a box that is not the factory direct one, (something that many reviewers seemed to somehow miss written 2-3 times in the description). All in all, the phone had a “peely” screen protector within a thick phone shaped bubble wrap ziploc, within a high quality phone box that sperated the peripherals (charging cable and sim pin) from the device and all of that was in a small sturdy ship box. I received the phone two days earlier than slated to but that is probably just because it was only from new Jersey to Connecticut. The phone powered on very quickly and stayed on for over 30mins on 1% charge before I plugged it in.
Now to the only unfortunate part. I use a somewhat indy carrier whom I am pretty attached to called Republic Wireless. The galaxy s10+ IS compatible with them but ONLY the somewhat rare factory unlocked model (SM-G975UZKAXAA or SM-G975U1 when abbreviated in the phone’s settings). This listing is for unlocked models NOT necessarily FACTORY unlocked models. So the unfortunate result was me receiving an unlocked model SM-G975UZKAVZW or the Verizon model. It’s worth noting that more than 95% of you out there will not have an issue with this difference but for me this made the phone completely unusable.
That leads me to the last part of my review and the reason I wanted to leave this review after my experience as a whole.
On realizing that I had an unusable phone I was understandably disappointed and frustrated and reached out to both the seller (PromoDealz) and Amazon. Admittedly, seeing a name that sounds like a corner pawn shop (truly no offense guys, I’m not what the kids call hip..lol) I was a little worried about the follow up I’d receive but that anticipation, like the ones about a refurbished phone in general, was blown away. What I got was quick clear responses with nothing but the intent to try to help me out. After they had gone through their whole inventory to check for what I needed based on my messaged information they offered to extend contact to phone and we connected to discuss the problem. They didn’t make me feel like I was being a hassle at all as they took all the information I could find on what phones work for me and checked their entire stock of s10+ (50ish pieces) then offered to receive their next shipment of 200+ pieces and check those too. These folks seem like good people who are dedicated providing a good service here. Hopefully they weren’t cursing me behind my back lol. Wouldn’t blame ’em.
Unfortunately after the hunt they didn’t come up with what I needed and, as they had offered as a worst case (or immediate if I’d preferred) solution all along we processed a return/refund. I somewhat assume that the carrier specific models of this phone are vastly more common because most people buying $800+ flagship phones are doing so because of incentives, financing and deals through larger carriers (“get a new family plan and get FOUR free* super flagship phones at only $300/month” *phones free for first two months then at a monthly payment plan of $150/month for 97 months and a $700 plan cancellation fee applies when you find all the other plans out there for a quarter the cost…. Sorry I’m a bit biased against big carriers).
Anyway, all in all, I’m shocked you’re still reading this. I’m a lot less concerned about the refurbished concept after seeing the quality of the phone received as well as the quality of the seller’s support and Amazon’s backing. (Amazon support fellow actually said “don’t worry, we’ve got your back if you get any trouble from the seller” luckily no trouble so I didn’t have to call big brother)
You still reading this?
Why? Go read a book. Or like, listen to one or something.
Terry Goodkind’s sword of truth series has good audiobooks… On the road listening maybe?
Too lame? Maybe go watch something on netflix or disney+?
Falcon and Winter Soldier is not bad so far…
Evil Genius was good for you true crime nuts..
Seriously.
I of all people am not that entertaining.
At least go find yourself a phone. I assume you need one if you’re here reading my stupidity.
Ok.
Bye then.
