Samsung Galaxy A53 5G A Series Cell Phone, Factory Unlocked Android Smartphone, 128GB, 6.5” FHD Super AMOLED Screen, Long Battery Life, US Version, Black (Renewed)

The phone came in an works as it should and in excellent condition as it should be. No issues at all. Thanks guys! (F.Y.I.) Edit, BE VERY CAREFUL WHO THE SELLER IS WHEN PURCHASING!! The reason say this, is that I bought this phone the first time everything with it was perfect I still have no issues with it at all it functions how it should. So I decide to buy it again for my mom for her birthday. This one I bought from a different seller that had it a little bit cheaper, when I got it I first looked at the phone before giving it to my mom. It had came with a lock on it called a google FRP lock. This lock is on because the tech left there google account login when it was reset. I had to make a decision to refund it or figure it out myself. So with a little research I figured out how to remove it legally. There are programs for removing it, you cannot go to a Repair store because they will over charge or wont do it because the amazon receipt doesn't have your name and Phone MIEI number on it. Use Tenorshare's its the first googled one the others work to but this one is ridiculously easy to do. After that you'll have to pay unfortunately for a registration License for the cheapest is $20 its worth it. This process is worth it better than sending it back and deal with a loss of anyway. Also there are NO repercussions from unlocking the FRP yourself. It will NOT blacklist the phone unless it has been clamed lost or stolen then the phone was already blacklisted(don't let anyone even a repair tech tell you different, they are lying, trust me, I have been lied to by many of them, and found out myself they were wrong) and then amazon WILL compensate you but don't mention unlocking the FRP if you do have to send it back they may not refund you at all even if it was sent to you faulty. I even talked to samsung they are okay with what I'm saying but they told me to mention I'm not telling you to do this just giving a option that nobody tells you. I hope this lonnng review is read and helps anyone that has this FRP lock issue with a refurbished phone. :)

1 Star – Samsung Update Bricked the Phone This phone was great for about a year. Then Samsung pushed their UI8-16 update, and it permanently bricked my A53 5G. After the update, the phone would no longer recognize or read the SIM card at all. I took it to a Samsung Authorized Repair Center (UBreakiFix), and after days of testing they confirmed the update caused irreversible damage. The phone cannot be repaired. This happened right before Thanksgiving and has caused me serious financial hardship. I’m between jobs and relied on this phone to make money doing Lyft rides. Losing it suddenly because of a Samsung update has been devastating. To make matters worse, Asurion has had my phone since last week and I still haven’t received any compensation. So at the moment I’m stuck with no phone and no help. If you buy this phone, be extremely careful about allowing Samsung to update it. Their update destroyed my device, and now I’m questioning whether I’ll ever buy another Samsung product again.

Great price, better quality then expected for less then top quality. Good quality only came with light scratches on the side metal. Covered right up with a case. Scratches only visible in light with correct angle. The phones battery life, weight, connectivity, and charging are all perfect and; like I said, in perfect working order. Major upgrade from the a21 model in terms of use, screen resolution, and capabilities. Also, the pre-used model is less then the a21 monetarily.

Very good, unlocked

It is worth the money have not had a problem

The phone works and was in perfect condition.

Ordered it, arrived earlier than expected (in nothing more than its own box with no additional packaging). Looked clean, but didn't turn on so I plug it in. Phone does not respond, no indication of charging, does not turn on. Tried charging it for half a day, no response, try three different chargers (That work on other devices) over a day and a half, no response. Pre-bricked, obviously not tested.

Great buy
