Samsung Galaxy Note 9, 128GB, Midnight Black - Unlocked (Renewed)

This is my second Note 9, first of all. My last one is still actually fully functional except for where i smashed the poor thing against the corner of a countertop trying to prevent it from falling 4 ft. which by the way, i have done so many times i cant count and this little phone just keeps chugging along. So i purchased a new one so that I can do schoolwork on the run. I was scared believe me, to buy this online. Thegadgetstore has a lot of great reviews and promised a great phone. PERFECT and in like new condition...even as its sold as renewed. Not a scratch on her, with the film still on the screen. It came with the little tab opener for the SD and SIM card slot and a fast charger. When I turned it on, it started up just like new, to set up. It charged within an hour to full. No heating or flickering screen. No bloatware. Here's a fantastic thing that happened and I hope they dont call me to say I owe them more money...the phone is listed as 128gb....and its actually 512gb. I cant believe my luck. I love this little phone...and with the only phones in the galaxy class with an S pen being the ridiculously overpriced S23 ultras....for $199 I have this wonderful phone that is fast, good quality, great camera and sound for music and watching movies on my downtime at work. The battery life is fantastic and it came with McAfee scan protection (even though i have Nord VPN). This is a great phone and I bought a tough case from UBpro that has a front screen cover that doesnt interfere one iota with screen sensitivity...and it keeps this phone encased like fort knox. Thanks the gadgetstore...this was a fantastic buy!!

Its been working excellent, this is my second with this company ,i tried another one just because i didn't remember where i purchased before but it came defective it was also from another store from Amazon ,so i returned and checked all my previous orders and i found the company i used before and im happy now with the product, its been working like new

To whoever is reading this know that it is important to indicate the seller that you got your phone from. I got mine from Toronto Cellular on July 24th of 2021 and so far the experience has been really good the phone is way better than what I was expecting, It has no signs of use except for a little detail on one of the corners wich i show on the pics It came into a white Amazon renewed generic box and beside the device, there was a Samsung charger which idk if it is really fast-charging but it surely works very well, also a pinch to take out the SIM cards and a card with the customer service info from toronto cellular. the device is amazing, except for one detail: The 1st month and half using my renewed galaxy note 9 I had signal and everything was fine but after that time, it just stopped getting signal and freezed in a faded blue airplane mode on the tools on the notifications panel. So because of that I have to carry everywhere 2 phones: my old phone, that I only use for calls and messages and this one for work, media, and social stuff. i tried to fix it by other methods, so the silly me didn't reach to cellular toronto during the 90 days guarantee. and now idk what to do lol. Also I don't know what happened with the shipping because I had to order the phone twice' the 1st time was from another seller and it got canceled. anyway, toronto cellular killed it. regardless everything that i mentioned, i have used the device for 3 months and nowadays works very well, nothing really bothering, you get what you pay for, just make sure u get it from the right seller, take care of it, the water and dust resistance doesn't work (i haven't been very carefull to be honest) remember its more delicate since its renewed, and take the maximum advantage from the 3 month guarantee. also i wanna add that i live in Venezuela, i had to order it to orlando and someone was supposed to bring my purchase to my country but there was a lot of issues and 2 months went by since the package arrived to orlando. At the end i reached out a small courrier that helped me to get my purchase to my actual location. that extra shipping took about 15 days and 25$ but it was pretty cheap comparing to other services like Liberty Express and DHL. the pictures are from almost 3 months since i started using the device and is still amazinnnngggg compared with evetything i mentioned, i really really love this phone. for so many reasons.

I did a lot of research before buying a phone, and was quite worried that I would get ripped off from purchasing one online. Additionally, I've had poor luck with several of Amazon's third party retailers. With this in mind, I was very skeptical about potential false reviews, false advertising, or a damaged product. However, for the price it was the best deal I could find on a galaxy note 9 outside of a carrier plan. So, after seeing that the item was returnable I gave it a shot. Luckily, it worked. I recieved a fully unlocked note 9 with a charger and instructions on how to activate it. I will say that many of the reviews I read prior to buying insisted otherwise, and they were likely correct. If you're purchasing from Amazon, you'll probably see several similar looking deals with identical display pictures (which isn't a good sign in my book). Even if it is a prime eligible deal be careful and read through the descriptions. Look at the seller information and read the return policies on refurbished phones. It should list something about being returned within 2 weeks of the original purchase. If it does not be skeptical. Also, It should be noted that anyone can make up a business name and description on amazon, then sell used items out of their basement if they wanted, so look carefully through the seller's "company" reviews. Furthermore, the charger that came with my purchase was not an original Samsung charger. It was a cheaper off brand model that charged slower by comparison. The phone itself had little to no scratches. These micro scratches are small and only visible after a very close inspection on my part. The battery life on my phone has been excellent! This came as quite a nice surprise. I've used it for several months now and it keeps a charge like new. I can go two full days with mild/moderate use off one charge. ( Mild/moderate meaning not using my phone constantly throughout the day to watch movies, play games, or scroll through social media posts. I may have watched short videos for class, read emails, texts, short calls, etc.) Overall, the phone has worked quite well and continues to do so. Last thing I'll say is I highly reccomend the galaxy note 9 for the specs to cost ratio (as of 2019). Its a good phone for the value, even though phones in general are expensive. Any additional information on the phone specs and relative market comparisons would require another lengthy review, so I won't drag this on any further lol. Hopefully this helped someone and thanks for reading!

It dosent take simcard, overheats, and alot of scratches. It says excellent condation, I m not sure if they even bothered to check if it works. Yes it truns on but when you put simcard in no service. It is complete scam. I would give it zero star if it was possible.

I purchased this Note as a secondary device for work productivity and Google Home integration (my iPhone does neither very well). I'm not entirely sure what kind of problems some of the other reviewers were having with getting their service to work, but I can assure you that this is an unlocked handset. It came out of the box with Verizon carrier settings, and all I did was put my Mint Mobile SIM in and it auto-loaded the T-Mobile (backbone for Mint) carrier settings and rebooted. Worked instantly. It even automatically deleted the Verizon bloatware and replaced it with the T-Mobile bloatware! :) As far as the device itself goes, you get what you pay for. This is a renewed device, and there are caveats that go with the purchase of said type of device. Having said that though, it looked and ran like a brand new handset right out of the box. No issues with performance whatsoever. The screen was in perfect condition. The only MINOR physical imperfection is the way the bottom of the screen meets with the steel frame of the phone. Nothing broken, scratched, or loose. I THINK the screen has possibly been replaced, and something just couldn't be re-aligned like it was originally in manufacturing. It should definitely be noted that I had to LOOK to find this. The average person who isn't insane, like myself, would never notice it. The last note (haha) is the battery condition. According to AccuBattery, the battery is around 84% capacity. This is a renewed device that I paid $365 for which originally sold for $1000 just over a year ago. This is absolutely acceptable, but just thought I'd mention it.

**Update** The phone would not not connect to Sprint 4G. Samsung acknowledged that there is a software problem due to the merger of Sprint and Tmobile and they are not compatible with Sprint at the moment. Had to file an A-to-Z claim with O'Crack because they never refunded me after returning the phone. I ended up buying a few of these phones and returning the one I didn't want. The first one I received from Digital Age USA and had a screen protector on it, and a small gash. It was obviously a pre-owned phone that they were trying to pawn off as a reconditioned phone. If you receive a phone with a screen protector remove it immediately and check the screen, most of the time they are trying to hide screen burn or scratches. The second phone I received was from O'Crack and was like night and day, it was like a brand new phone. I am so glad I purchased the second one because I was starting to think that that was the quality of phones from this listing. The return went seamlessly and I was refunded my money within about a week. The phone itself is amazing, I've used the phone all day and still cannot drain the battery completely. The camera is very impressive in low light settings. I'm very happy with my purchase and it would recommend it.

Dropped my Note 9 and finally cracked the screen. $400 to get it replace and a new battery (why not while they got the phone open). Ordered this and it looks great. Screen protectors just came today but see no reason why this phone will disappoint. Transferred my music collection over and will be installing sim card today. Will update if I need to return this within the 90 days, but couldn't be happier. I am so glad the s25 ultra wouldn't stay connected to my computer long enough to transfer anything and I had a reason to return it. Hope I can get another 4 years out of this one.
