SAMSUNG Galaxy S21+ Plus 5G 128GB (S&D) (Open Box)

We got this phone for my son in April 2024. First impression was good, but the phone seemed suspicious in multiple different ways. The phone screen was curved inwards from top to bottom down the middle. Got it started up and running and everything seemed fine so we forgot about it. I noticed a couple differences in the way the phone worked compared to my own S21+ that I got from T-Mobile. Between that and the phone screen being messed up it kind of made me feel like this phone was only made to LOOK like an S21+. Now throughout this past 9 months the screen has been slowly messing up with pixels burning out and black spots showing up for no reason. The phone hasn't been dropped or mishandled or anything like that. Now today the screen has shut off completely and the phone won't turn back on. Would not recommend, very sketchy stuff going on with this phone and it doesn't last. -Bad screen replacement -Phone screen started going bad around 4 months and gradually got worse until it cut out a little over 9 months. -Systems didn't run correctly like normal S21+ phones. For example: the normal keyboard for the phone was designed like an iPhone which isn't normal at all. -Ads would pop up randomly when opening apps that had nothing to do with ads. For example: If you opened Chrome an Ad would have to play before you were able to use the browser. ***Would not recommend this phone.***
