Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 5G (S&D) (Open Box)

Beware purchasing an Amazon Renewed phone! I ordered an Amazon Renewed Galaxy s20+ 5G Unlocked in November of 2023. I got a $1000 phone for $400. The phone is freaking awesome! Screen quality and camera are exceptionally great. Even better than many of Samsung's flagship phones that have come out since the s20+ was released in 2020. The phone has become an important tool for my landscaping business (mobile check deposits, plant identification, and work documentation). However, I dropped it a few months ago and the camera stopped working. So I happily ordered another Amazon Renewed Galaxy s20+ 5G Unlocked. But much to my despair, the phone I received had a cheap, very low resolution screen and poor quality camera in it. I've ordered three of the renewed phones over the last few months in the hope of getting a true Galaxy s20+ 5G that isn't full of junk replacement parts. All three phones I ordered were advertised as having the same quality screen and camera as an original manufactured s20+ direct from Samsung. But all three of them contained cheap, junk components!!! The first of the three phones I ordered was dropped by me about a week after receiving it. The cheap screen in it shattered to pieces. I probably could've lied about the damage and returned the phone for a refund, but that would've been very dishonest behavior. So, I took the loss. I returned the second phone I ordered soon after receiving it and learning that it too contained junk components. I attempted to resolve my concerns about the poor quality components installed in the third phone I ordered by emailing the small business that sold it to me through Amazon. They placed a card in the box with the phone that said to contact them directly. However, Stallion ReQuip's reps failed to provide a resolution to the problem. They kept asking me for information I had already provided to them and they never sent me the return shipping label they said they would send to me. I don't know if their reading comprehension is lacking or they know they are selling phones that are different than what they are advertised as being and they had no intention of fixing the problem. So I initiated a return through Amazon and am now writing this review. If you are looking for a cheap, junk version of a Galaxy s20+, which isn't actually a true s20+, then feel free to order one of these falsely advertised phones. Or, you might be better off buying a lessor quality new phone for the money that will actually contain the parts it is supposed to have in it. But if you're looking for a great deal on a previous flagship model phone with original quality replacement parts, then go elsewhere. These businesses are not fully honest and transparent about what they're selling. And, Amazon Renewed phones, at least for me, are no longer the great and exciting bargain they once were. As for my original renewed purchased s20+, I took it to a local small business electronics repair shop today and got the camera replaced for $95. It only took about 45 minutes. So much better than burning through $600+ and wasting days and weeks dealing with sellers and making returns.
