Should I Buy It?

EDIT AUGUST 24, 2022: two years later and this phone is still going strong! Even when I use the phone throughout the day, it only needs to be charged every 24 hours. My phone case has kept it protected, it still looks brand new. Still runs like new. Even though this phone is "renewed" I've never had an issue that required it to be troubleshooted or repaired. If I ever replace the phone, I'm buying it renewed! Original review 2020: This is a product review, but first I wanna discuss my satisfaction with the fact that this is a renewed item. The phone arrived in a neat little box with generic brand charge cable and adapter, neither of these items are suited for the fast-charging capabilities of the phone, but I bought this item for the phone, so I'm not gonna knock them on a cord and adapter. The phone looked brand new, no scratches or damage of any kind, not even so much as a fingerprint on it. The phone powered up just fine and I was able to get it setup without a hitch, as far as I'm concerned they did an excellent job with the renewal, there's no way I can tell that it was even renewed except for the generic box, cable and charger. BTW, this product does not come with earbuds or anything, you only get the phone, the generic cord and generic adapter. Overall, I'm happy buying this renewed, saved myself 50% of the brand new price. As for reviewing the phone itself, this is my first Samsung phone, I've never so much as seen a Galaxy Note with my own eyes, and therefore I'm still learning things about it. But I can say I love the stereo speakers, it's great when playing music or gaming, the sound has a nice punch to it, better than any phone speakers I've ever heard. I was worried I wouldn't get used to the lack of a headphone jack, but I don't actually need it, I bought myself a nice pair of Bluetooth headphones, and I can't think of any other reason I would need the headphone jack. The screen is really nice, it's amazing how the fingerprint scanner is INSIDE the screen, makes for unlocking the phone quite easy and free of having to hold the phone awkwardly like with other phones. The hole punch for the camera in the screen is much less distracting than I thought it would be, and in the end, I hardly notice it. Since the fingerprint scanner is located inside the screen, you can't just get a traditional otterbox case for this phone, the heavy duty screen protector doesn't allow fingerprint scanning, so you have to buy a specific stick-on screen protector. As for the phone case, I bought myself a ArmadilloTek case, and I love it... I like having all the extra storage on the phone, in the past I always felt like my phone filled up with stuff too quickly. Also all my previous phones were prone to becoming slow after filling it up with apps, photos and music, but this phone...I've given it everything I have, only used up like 75 gigs, and have plenty more space, as well as the fast chip set in the phone makes the phone lightning fast. As for battery life, it lasts a long time! If you're just texting, listening to music, or periodically surfing the web, this phone lasts approximately 40-48 hours on a single charge. If you're playing games and other power-consuming things, I believe this phone might get you through a pretty rigorous 24 hours. This phone came pre-loaded with a few useless apps, but didn't come pre-loaded with all the other useful apps that generally come on androids like a music player, Amazon, and other such...loaded it myself. I ended up loading Samsung Music...which I already love way more than iTunes or Apple Music. I'm still learning how to use the stylus pen, believe me, there is a TON of ways to use the pen, but from what I've tried so far, it's great! I especially like being able to hand-write notes and convert them to text. I wish I could say more about the phone, but again, I'm still learning. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase, it was well worth the money, I highly recommend it!

I absolutely love thos phone it works well and has so much storage space. The backing of the phone doesn't stay on well so you have to have a case but other than that it's a really good phone! The camera quality is also great and so is the efficiency of the phone. You can use your fingerprint for a lot of things and it makes logging into things a breeze π₯²

Despite loving this phone, I encountered a problem after a few days of use. Despite having a case on it, I noticed small cracks developing on the back of the phone. As a result, I had to purchase a replacement back glass. Aside from this issue, the phone functions perfectly and arrived on time. Update: The phone battery is swelling and that's what caused the back glass to crack. It's so bad now the broken glass is lifting off the phone.

The phone does what it needs to do and was received in excellent condition (5 stars!). For anyone reading this review for info on the Note 10 (not 5G), please keep reading. I've had a plethora of Notes and really liked a lot of its characteristics. So I'm going to compare the Note 9 (which I miss dearly) to this...thing. 1.)It is smaller then other Notes. 2). There is no more notification light. Which I have become reliant on since my phone is on silent the majority of the time. I now, have to keep checking my phone for any notifications. 3).The biometric finger print option is no longer on the back of the phone. It's a front screen tap option now. Dang muscle memory... I keep wanting to tap the back of the phone. And the front tap option isn't very accurate and never reads my print. 4). The stylus pen, (that I received from this Amazon order) was NOT Bluetooth. That never appeared to be an issue with other Notes? So taking pictures using the button on the pen, didn't work. I have since purchased a Bluetooth pen off Amazon and I'm able to snap pictures again. 5). Battery life sucks (in comparison). I'm sure there are a couple more things but that's all off the top of my head. I'm not tech savvy and I liked the simplicity of the Notes but this one.....too many changes and not to my liking.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10, by seller: AradSystemCR I was highly sceptical of the "Renewed" deal, but I need to save some money! I had never bought a phone sight unseen, certainly not in a degree of used and most defiantly not in this price range, but I am so glad I did! The Note 10, looks brand new!! I'm sure it is!! It came in the original box, covered with a Samsung screen protector, in the soft little bag. All of the factory accessories seem to be included: Samsung fast charger, usb-c cable, (Not usb-C, Samsung, headphone/earbuds) and the key needed to remove/install the sim-card. The S-Pen was in it's compartment on the phone. The battery had a 50% charge. With previous Galaxy phones I seem to recall an instruction manual in the box? Perhaps they stopped doing that? Nevertheless the manual was simple to find on the Internet. There was a typed written note included, stating; that the phone had been tested on AT&T and/or T Mobile and that please address any issues or concerns to the seller: AradSystemCR. Activation: When I first started the Note 10, before inserting the sim-card, it had a Verizon Wireless, splash screen. I'm on Verizon, so I was hoping it would go easy - and it did!! After connecting to my WiFi network, I let the phone charge completely, while I played a little with it a little, then turned off. I moved the sim-card to this; new Note 10, and turned the phone back on. Just as it started I received a text from a friend, I made a before I could reply to the text I received a phone call. Now I am really happy!! Migrating Data & Apps: I had read a recent review on the phone recommending Samsung Smart Switch. WOW, this worked flawlessly!! I had one issue with data and apps installed on a MicroSD card, which, of course, this phone cannot use. So now I have a folder; _ExternalCard_ that I cannot delete because I do not want to risk loosing my health related data for the past two years. I manually dragged all of the photos & videos to the default location, via Windows file explorer. I deleted all of the music and re-synced the PC with my Note 10's music app. All and all, migration and activation took me an hour, which was so much better than anticipated!! I had to re-enter my gmail account and all app related passwords. Everything was in the exact location as my old Galaxy j7v, all of my paired devices were listed, but I had to connect them all once before using them. The Note 10, did not seem to have any additional apps - bloatwear installed. It had nothing from Verizon, AT&T or anyone else, and only the generic Samsung/Android apps. I did have to install an Android update and restart. I installed the Verizon app, from Google Play. My only Issues: I choose the free shipping, which took a week. I knew this going in, but perhaps I am just spoiled to Amazon Prime, next day shipping. lol Now I need to learn these awesome new features. The s-pen is Awesome! The Note 10 is so fast!! I strongly recommend the seller: AradSystemCR, my brother is searching his store now and I have 3 good friends whom will be before Christmas. Thank you AradSystemCR!! Thank you Amazon for connecting us!

After doing all my reviews and researching this product I decided to go with Amazon. Amazon has a pre-certified stamp on it saying all good things that they will back up but I received phone and it was cracked on the corner I also got the phone locked so I had to call AT&T wait 2 to 3 days to get the phone unlocked finally I got it unlocked I set it up with my carrier and I can do everything else text messaging go online but I cannot make calls they keep dropping I spent two days on the phone with my carrier And I spent two days driving around to different locations trying to resolve this issue now Iβm told that the motherboard is bad I have made contact with the seller and he still has not responded over a week I spoke to Amazon and they told me thereβs nothing they can do that I need to contact the seller therefore since I got no response for getting a phone that donβt work and that has a crack I am now stuck paying $279 for nothing so everyone please be careful I have learned my lesson from now on if I buy an unlocked phone I know where to get it at my local phone store this does not even deserve one star

I've read the other reviews on amazon about this phone and they were mixed. I found that the phone is great. I had a little trouble getting it on my carrier but finally they got it working. I had seen some of the reviews talk about issues with verizon but mine that I received was an AT&T version of the phone. I put it on my carrier which is total wireless and it is working great. The battery life is awesome and last all day and then some. Used, it still looked almost brand new there was one tiny little scratch on the edge of the screen that you have a hard time noticing unless your in a bright lit area and hold it at a certain angle. The only downside is the note 10 didn't have the option for expandable storage but it does come with 256gb so oh well. My air command app can't detect the s pen so I just turned it off. The s pen still worked for writing note and the phone could detect when it was removed. So for me there were a few quirks but I love the phone over all and would recommend the purchase it is the cheapest I've seen a used version of this phone and works well.

Okay so, it seems like a lot of people don't really understand how Amazon product selling works and tend to give negative reviews and don't recognize that the sellers of products are all different but sit on the same listing so although you can buy from one which is the default lowest price usually there are other sellers selling the same thing that may not be locked or misrepresented products. Now that being said, the person I bought mine from provided accurate information and that product came in a secure box and was in excellent condition. Sad it didn't come with an original box oh, but it being renewed I can't hit the seller for that. On to the phone itself, it's a really good phone in general the specs are good 256gb at storage and the ram is 8GB and I've never seen it get anywhere near running all the way or even much over halfway of capacity. Now here comes the surprise there is no SD card slot so if you buy a regular note 10, there will not be the option to extend any storage. The other thing I don't much care for is the fingerprint reader. Although it is innovative I would much rather prefer a physical dedicated location that is not part of the screen because it makes it very difficult to use and if you have a screen protector you might as well just forget the option exists. Another thing is I don't really care for the way that Samsung has restricted the phones there's a lot of useless and unnecessary apps I can't get rid of and everything involving the Samsung and Google competition on the phone is relatively annoying and it makes it more confusing because I don't want 2 separate stores sending me notifications to update things and Samsung seems to have taken the ability to silence those notifications away from their Galaxy store. But those are just personal annoyances that aren't all that important other than the fingerprint reader and SD card slot which is relatively significant. I'm also not overly impressed with the battery. It seems that it's not as good as the 2017 Huawei Mate SE I replaced. Although the camera is EXTREMELY good in quality. Finally, for those of you interested in rooting, as you may know United States versions of Samsung phones tend to be restricted in the ability to be rooted by any simple method. I received a SM-N970U1 which seems to be a Verizon specific model. In the short answer is no for most people there will not be a free or simple way to root the phone. I did manage to accomplish reading it, but it cost 65 bucks and I had to locate someone who either does or has worked for Samsung who was able to generate a unlock script to remove the bootloader lock from the phone and it is now rooted. They have to generate a script for your specific device ID to remove the lock from the phone. Which can only be done up to a certain update point no higher than Samsung one UI 3.0 and no higher than a Android 11 5th bootloader update. I now have an unlocked rooted Verizon Samsung Note 10 on Verizon. And overall I'm happy with it but in general I probably will not buy another Samsung phone with options like plus one and various other models that are just as good or in reality better. And generally cheaper. I would say I would prefer Huawei or Motorola over Samsung. I hope this has been helpful to Anyone who reads it.
