I took photos of the phone the day of arrival but now cant find them.. but the phone came in EXCELLENT condition although the packaging was just a box with little to ensure a safe delivery. The phone was unlocked but a **NETWORK UNLOCK CODE** kept popping up when sim card was insterted. (Thats the photo in this review.) So I swore the phone wasnt unlocked. Reached out to the seller and my carrier which was walmart family mobile. I was told by my carrier i needed a new sim card. So i ordered it and when it finally arrived, boom same error. My carrier reset the sim many times and still no luck. When i had messaged the seller they gave me a code that wasnt right and when i reached out again, still another wrong code. What the phone fails to warn you is that only after a few attempts it will lock you out completely. It will then say **MASTER KEY CODE** needed. I googled what that was and it seemed like a hopeless code to obtain. The startup on the phone says AT & T. So i took it to their store and they had said that yes the phone was unlocked!! But the network was locked to walmart family mobile which was my carrier . So come to find out the code i needed, the first code, the network unlock code, I needed from my carrier! They absolutely missed it and after days of this mess and ongoing phone calls, finally the walmart family mobile agent on that day in the At&T store had told me the codes i needed from day one. Idk how they just skipped the option and blamed my sim card. The codes arent a secret and im still unsure why they didnt recommend theirs to fix it. I guess they just assumed it wasnt their codes needed. But it was!!! Unbelievable right!! So then were now stuck on master key code and no one, my carrier, nor AT&T, nor samsung can help with that. Due to the sellers wrong codes, me googling the wrong codes, and most of all my carriers support line not mentioning their codes, I was locked out and was gonna return the phone. However AT&T did show me other sim cards put into the phone by other carriers were working. It was still unlocked but just couldnt now be used on family mobile and possibly all tracphone carriers due to the master key code lock. So with that said I swapped to AT&T prepaid and got their sim card and it all worked great! It was recommended to get the sim card from the AT&T store directly because sometimes those sim kits at walmart dont always work correctly and are nonrefundable. So if this issue happens to you just be sure to ask your carrier for those network codes!! The seller now knows what to suggest if this happens to another and I’m telling you that the carrier has the codes and all will be fine. Also the seller offered me a replacement phone and partial refund for this issue. I declined a replacement only because I couldnt send this phone back and await a new one. I was already without a phone long enough dealing with this for days. So the seller at least still gave me a partial refund and that was okay with me. So the customer service is well and fair from them!!! Also even AT&T said the phone itself was in such great shape! So far so good on the phone itself, everything is working as it should.

After nearly four years with my Samsung A10e, I decided it was time for an upgrade. My criteria were specific: I wanted a more recent, used Samsung phone that was unlocked, had ample storage, and most importantly, featured a microSD slot for my extensive music library. The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G in Cloud Red ticked all these boxes and more. Transitioning from the A10e, the performance leap to the S20 FE was immediately noticeable. Everything from navigating the UI to streaming content on YouTube and multitasking feels incredibly responsive. This phone has transformed my user experience, offering a significant improvement in speed and efficiency. Despite being a renewed device, the quality of the S20 FE pleasantly surprised me. It arrived with minor marks on the sides, but these were hardly a concern given the excellent condition of the screen and the overall functionality of the phone. I’ve always been particular about battery health, so I appreciated the “Protect Battery” feature, which I also used on my A10e. The battery performance has been exceptional, supporting my heavy music streaming habits without a hitch. The larger display is a game-changer. The vibrant colors and increased screen real estate enhance everything from watching videos to browsing the web. I’ve disabled certain features to extend battery life, but this hasn’t detracted from my overall experience with the phone. One of the reasons I opted for an unlocked phone was the flexibility it offers. While I primarily use the S20 FE for media consumption, it’s reassuring to know it can serve as a reliable backup for calls and texts if needed. The phone’s build quality and care in its refurbishment are evident, making it a solid investment for anyone in the market for a high-quality, used smartphone. In summary, the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G has exceeded my expectations. It offers a perfect blend of performance, quality, and value, making it an excellent choice for Samsung enthusiasts and anyone looking for a premium smartphone experience without the flagship price tag.

I chose the FE version of this phone as it still accepts a memory card. It is important to me to be able to expand storage as required.
The phone arrived and looked like it was brand new. I have had the phone for a few months now and everything is still working as expected.

Llevo usandolo ya unos meses y ahí va mi experiencia. 1: me llegó el S20 FE 5g así que si no te importa no poder usar Samsung members deberías estár contento con el poder usar 5g y tener un mejor procesador. 2: Es muy bueno y las fotos son lo que se puede esperar de un gama alta de Samsung. 3: Me llegó en condiciones de casi nuevo, mucho mejor de lo que esperaba. 4: Uno de sus dos puntos malos, la batería, tiene 90% de vida útil aún pero debes saber cómo optimizarla, si solo lo usarás para musica (que tiene muy buenas bocinas) (y soporta tanto aptx y ldac ) así como para trabajo normal está bien. Si eres como yo de uso rudo, baja la app Good Lock y usa distintas funciones para optimizar la batería sin perder calidad. 5: Cómprale una Carcasa, ojo Carcasa no solo cristal templado, porque aunque tiene muy buen gorila glass si se puede romper en una caída sobre pavimento. 6: Por último, dos cosas, puedes sumergirlo sin problema 😵💫, y aunque no le llegará android más actual aún no creo se deba rootear, va muy rápido y casi no se calienta.

This phone came pretty quickly even though it had to cross borders. It came in perfect condition and works amazing. I had to purchase a new sim card to get the 5g working because it was quite old and now I have absolutely no complaints about this pretty phone!

It’s only been a week, but the phones are great! Camera’s a little iffy in regular photo mode.. No better than my last phone which was 5 years old. However, the portrait mode is amazing! Love the quality! Even in low light, it’s great! I use my phone to take pictures, so it’s important for them to look good. I don’t use the flash or anything. I’m not big in selfies so I can’t really judge the front facing camera other than it does facial recognition as expected. The fingerprint reader is frustrating. It takes a few tries, but finally unlocks the phone. I’ve read this is a known issue with this phone. – A fingerprint reader on the side or back would be better instead this one is on the bottom of the screen.. If you don’t use the fingerprint reader to unlock your phone, this isn’t an issue. XD Battery life has been good. I charge it every other day. I don’t play any games so I can’t say how well the battery life is for that. I only surf the web and shop. I find the keyboard is better on this phone. Less “missed” button presses or wrong button presses. The sound is good. The phone gets quite loud if you need it to. There are a lot of different sounds to choose for the ringtone/alarm notifications/regular notifications. I don’t love most of them.. They’re all kinda sauntery and not very upbeat like I think a ringtone should be or alarm sound. Feels like for a child in my opinion or those that can’t handle loud sounds. I understand but this is a phone. I want to jump up if I have a call or need to be somewhere, you know? Anyways, the screen is quite good. Very nice colors. Oh and you can change the colors too if you’d like. It comes with a vibrant color option, but I turned it to normal. The other was too saturated and looked like the colors were bleeding. I did a quick change, not a thorough one like you can do. The flashlight has a few modes for brightness. I only use mine to help the cat find toys lost under the couch so I don’t need it super bright, but if you need it, it’s an option. 🙂 I do recommend getting a screen protector and phone protection. The backing is plastic. I actually like this because it means the back is less likely to break. Yes, the phone feels cheaper and looks it, but with a case, you wouldn’t know. I also like the film protectors for the screen over glass. Again, it won’t get damaged as much as a glass protector would. – I would recommend this especially for kids. That being said we did have to return one phone after only 2 days. I think it was the membrane under the power button. The button got stuck pressed in and we were able to get it back out, but then it was loose and rocked back and forth. We returned it and purchased a new phone, exactly the same which arrived in 2 days. It’s just like the others. When you have a family that needs phones, you tend to get everyone the same. To sum it up, these are good phones, no complaints so far. It was easy to setup and add all my usual apps. However, if you need to reset the phone to factory, you need to setup a Samsung account to do so. I hear that Apple has a similar thing. (I’ve never owned an iPhone because of it’s restrictions.) Also, the phone does appear to have a micro SD card holder on the opposite side of the SIM card holder. I haven’t tried this yet, but will soon.
