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. :)

I've waited about four months to post a review, giving me plenty of time to experience the phone. Let me start off by saying I spent HOURS going through different websites and sellers, trying to filter through reviews and the experience of others because... let's be real, who wants to sploof a $350+ purchase? Brand new, I would have never dropped the retail price on this phone. I did extensive delving into the sellers that offered this specific phone, and I ended up going with Soonersoft. I was hesitant, even though it says unlocked, because there are thousands of reviews out there of people having to try to refund their renewed/refurbished purchases because it's not TRULY unlocked. So I messaged the seller and asked for verification that the phone would work with my carrier ( Verizon). They quickly responded, and verified that it was actually a Verizon unlocked phone. Perfect! I put my order in and received my phone a couple of days later. It arrived in a box very much like a brand new phone would. This phone was SPOTLESS. Not a single scratch anywhere on the surface and no discoloration. I had a hiccup during setup where I didn't think it was going to work, but I waited until ALL, and I must stress ALL, of my information was synced and everything was done updating. I used my old SIM card, though this phone offers eSIM, and was able to get it working properly without needing either the seller support ( they included a card with the packaging for such cases ), or Verizon. I've had no wifi or bluetooth connectivity issues, and the fingerprint reader works flawlessly. The camera is a huge step up from my previous 5 year old phone, and the UI is intuitive as I've only ever had Samsung. Literally my ONLY gripe about this phone is actually the Verizon app itself. It'll glitch to the point I often have to completely close and reopen it several times if I want to check my data usage or pay the bill manually. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, cleared cache and data, and the issue persists. HOWEVER, this is not really a big issue for me personally. I can easily open my account via a chrome tab and work with my info that way. TLDR; Was very skeptical ordering a phone online, did tons of research and found the seller SoonerSoft. Shot them a compatibility question and ordered the phone. Phone was in like new condition and I had no issues after having ALL of my data transferred over. It's been running near flawlessly ( save for my carrier app ) for the past 4 months. I can solidly recommend this seller for renewed electronics. They're also very responsive to questions if you want to verify what carrier it's unlocked from.

I purchased Samsung Galaxy S23 plus excellent refurbished phone from IT Tech out of New York. January 29th 2026. I waited until now to leave a review. (March 8, 2026) I had tried to cancel the order but it had already shipped. When it arrived I immediately requested a return/refund. Amazon said thay would communicate with the seller for a return request. I was thinking this is not going to go well! The seller gave a prompt response and a no questions asked free shipping return for a full refund. What a relief! I didn't even open the box. I struggled with the decision to buy a refurbished phone. What if it's not really unlocked? What if the battery doesn't last, etc. so I thought it was a bad idea and don't open it. Although their return policy was still valid if I had opened it. (They never asked) Long story short, I ended up needing it and took it to Verizon to get it set up, hoping for the best. Verizon confirmed it was everything as advertised. It was unlocked, ligit software, correct updates, etc. It was in excellent condition as advertised. Maybe a couple light scratches where the charger output is but otherwise almost prestine. Screen was perfect. Even Verizon employee was impressed. He kept saying how much did you pay for this?! $350 with tax. Can't beat it! Phone has 100% charge as well! It may not hold a charge as long as it should and does get a little bit hot at times bt I am constantly on it as I do everything on it. Never even touch a computer. This is a very long, scatter brained review, and I will update if something changes but as of now I am quite impressed with this phone and this company, specifically. ** BEST careful reading the reviews as I noticed that the reviews for the phone is not divided by each individual company Amazon is doing business with so I would encourage you to look at the seller and their reviews specifically before purchasing from them. Great phone, great price, Great company! Thanks, IT Tech!

So far the phone has been doing well. I didn't see any scratches or broken glass. The battery has been doing good as well. I've played a couple games and it's been handling well. Let's make sure, say, if you're buying a phone case, don't really put it on because the heat will go outside the back of the phone. The heat will be trapped inside the phone case. The screen size is acceptable. It's a bit decently wide but I can't mind you. It's very easy to set up, just follow the instructions. The screen quality is very good. I haven't received any cracks or anything on it. I checked and I reset it again just in case but it's very compatible. Just make sure you buy the right screen protector and phone case for it and you're set. The games I play with it are Arena Breakout. It runs pretty well and I can move around pretty well without lag and it manages the game pretty well. Also Last Day on Earth runs pretty well.

The phone is lovely, no scratches, perfect condition. My only disappointment was that I paid for day shipping and it took 3 days. I had to reach out to the seller and request a refund for shipping. Colour match. Screen perfect.

I'm really impressed with the seller. The phone is renewed but it looks brand new. I was also able to set it up very easily with straight talk and the phone runs great. I would definitively buy from this seller again.
