  • I love my phone!!!
Service Provider: AT&T Color: Lavender Size: 256GB
My phone arrived undamaged, in perfect condition! I waited to do this review until I had it for a bit to make sure everything worked right. Well....IT'S AMAZING!!! The phone was not damaged in any way. It looked like a brand new phone, right out of the box! Not only that, but it functions flawlessly. I don't use all of the features (and it has a lot of them), mostly because I don't do social media stuff, or take many pictures. However, taking pictures is absolutely amazing! There are sooooo many options: like filters, colors, cropping, picture size, frame size, etc. There's just a ton of them. There is also Biometric features, which I appreciate. I had the S9+ and the fingerprint reader was on the back. If you use the fingerprint feature on this phone, make sure you set a passcode or pin as well. The fingerprint reader is on the screen. It shows as a pop-up. Of course you have to go through the fingerprint set-up first, and can choose more than one finger/thumb. My concern is that if the screen gets damaged where the reader is, the screen probably wouldn't be able to be able to read your print. It does NOT have an iris scanner. This IS a 5G phone, but it can connect to 4G and other networks as well. I believe there might have been a SIM card, but I honestly don't remember. I took the SIM from my other phone and put it in this one, so I didn't need it anyway. I use AT&T pre-paid, and it works fine. Right out of the box. I don't know if it's unlocked to a variety of different network or service providers. My service provider is AT&T, and the phone I got from this seller is also AT&T. My recommendation to anyone considering purchasing this phone, would be to contact the seller, first and ask about supported service providers. If you have AT&T, it's a total win! :) This phone charges super fast, and the battery life is fabulous. For my usage, anyway. You absolutely have to use a fast charging cable, or you'll ruin your phone. I believe it came with a USB cable, but I can't remember if the block was included. Either way, if you need to get a charging block, and/or cable, MAKE SURE they're fast charging!!! I thought the cable it came with was too short for my needs, so I bought a new one on Amazon that is specifically for the S23+...and phones like it. Another recommendation I have is to get an Otterbox. BEFORE you start using the phone. If you drop it, then a lot of money was spent for nothing. The camera lenses on the back protrude. I personally have the Otterbox Defender series, as the case itself prevents the camera lenses from touching any surface when you lay the phone down. It's the same if you lay it face down. The cover prevents the face from touching the surface of anything. I would seriously consider getting a high quality case with this phone, instead of a cheap knock-off. (Not all cases are created equal.) The phone is constructed of metal, not plastic, so it feels very well made. It's not a light phone, but not super heavy, either. At least to me. The phone doesn't come in an original box. At least mine didn't. It came with the phone and charging cable. I can't remember if it came with the little key that opens the SIM slot. If it doesn't, you'll need to get one. It also doesn't come with a manual. Also, unless you get the S23 Ultra, there is no stylus. If that's what you're looking for, the S23+ doesn't have that capability at all. You aren't able to get an S Pen with it, as the S Pen wouldn't function, even if you bought one and tried. I would also like to mention that it's super easy to transfer your data and contacts (and whatever else) to the S23+. I don't have any idea about transferring from an Apple product, though. Samsung is my go-to for phones. As for settings, there are too many to list. There is a specific one for the battery that I would like to mention, however. It makes it so your phone doesn't charge over 80% when fully charged, which is important. The phone won't overcharge that way and end up ruining your battery. As for call settings, there are a lot of those as well. For people that are hard of hearing, there are options for that. If, on the other hand, you'd like to protect your hearing and how loud the phone can get while listening to music or talking on it, you can limit the volume. It has features for the blind, but I don't know what that entails. It also has the car feature, but I don't know anything about that. I don't drive. I hope this review was helpful. :) ... show more

  • Excellent phone for the money
Service Provider: Unlocked Color: Lavender Size: 256GB
I purchased a refurbished Galaxy 23S+ as I am on a tight budget. I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent condition and absolutely love it. The only drawback was no instructions at all in the box, just the phone. I did purchase a screen saver and cover at the same time, and they all work in unison. I am extremely happy with this phone and will consider another when the time comes. ... show more

  • The device is not "unlocked" as advertised
Service Provider: Unlocked Color: Lavender Size: 256GB
The title and description for this Samsung galaxy s23 plus claims this device is unlocked. After searching the unlocked status of the IMEI of the device, I found it is locked to Verizon. I called Verizon and they instructed me that I cannot unlock the device until they speak with the original owner and the unpaid balance is settled. Since I have no idea who the original owner is and I have no desire to pay a stranger's debt, this device is worthless to me. This is false advertising. ... show more

  • Looks like new but...
Service Provider: Unlocked Color: Lavender Size: 256GB
Lovely lavender S23 +. It came with android 13 and one ui 5.1 with no ability to update. So I had to flash it with a patched Odin. Otherwise everything else about the phone is in perfect order. I'm using mine in The Bahamas with no issues. Sim card slots are working. The model number I was sent is sm-s916u. It has one physical sim slot and an e sim imei. The phone is so much quicker after flashing the updated software onto it. Also the bubbles on the screen are from the plastic screen protector it came with. So no worries. ... show more

  • Love it so far!
Service Provider: Unlocked Color: Lavender Size: 256GB
I've had this phone for a week now and I love it. It's like it was brand new. I had a physical SIM card from my old phone and this phone accepted it and connected me to my service. The battery also lasts pretty long. So far I love it and don't have any problems yet.

  • Perfect phone!
Service Provider: Unlocked Color: Cream Size: 256GB
I ordered a Samsung S23 Plus. It arrived very well packed and in perfect condition. It came with a charger and cord, as well as the tool used to open the compartment to insert my SIM card. I had zero trouble transferring my data from my old phone to the new one. I am grateful for the work done to ensure my phone was delivered to me in excellent condition. If you're looking to purchase a phone, I would recommend this seller! I received a perfect phone, for a fraction of regular retail cost. ... show more
