Description

Life is a series of moments. Why not make them beautiful? Take your photos and videos to an incredible new level with multiple, cutting-edge ways to capture life exactly as it is, or turn it into a work of art. With a sleek, new design, hyper-fast processing and a battery that won't give out on you when you need it most, Samsung Galaxy S21 smart phone lets you get creative, stay connected and do it all your way. We know your life moves fast, and there’s a fine line between what makes a moment ordinary and what makes it extraordinary. That’s why we created S21. With the ability to record in 8K, your videos aren’t just cinema quality, they’re double the resolution of 4K video. Or use the 64MP camera for still shots that come out clear whether it’s day or night. Better yet, why not do both? Single Take AI transcends the usual restrictions of photo and video editing to capture life’s greatest moments, wherever they happen, in one single take. Galaxy S21, made for the epic in every day. Single Take AI captures images and video up to 15 seconds. These pre-owned/refurbished products are inspected and tested to ensure they are fully functional. There may be signs of light to moderate usage. This unit has been deemed functional by a manufacturer-approved carrier. We perform an additional diagnostics examination to ensure quality control. If applicable, the finger sensor may show some wear, but has been tested and is in normal working condition. We also thoroughly clean the products. Every shipment may arrive in a brown or white generic box with relevant charging accessories (no headphones included) that may be generic.

Compact packaging so mailman was easily able to fit it inside mailbox. Phone was packed properly to avoid any damage while in transit. Fully reset so had no issue with initial setup. Was concerned at first because T-Mobiles start up screen (after Samsung popped up) came on. Fixed after simply inserting my sim card (for another carrier) and restarting phone. So it was fully unlocked but it still shows the T-Mobile start up screen anytime the phones turning on. Only reason I'm rating 4 stars is because the volume button was sticky and there's some noticeable scratches on screen. After a screen protector and a q tip with isopropyl alcohol I can't notice any scratches or button stick. Overall it's well worth the $200 I paid (on sale) but don't pay the full price unless you want to be another customer rating 1 star 😒

Tina - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
Like many others, I purchased the phone because it said it was unlocked. Guess what? It's not! It is PARTIALLY unlocked; as in not stolen. It is only unlocked to the service provider it was sold through originally. In my case AT&T. I'm guessing the reviews that say it's a great phone just got lucky and had the same provider the phone was initially purchase through. I contacted Samsung directly thinking they could help me seeing as though "the Samsung team" is who responds to the reviews but they couldn't do anything except tell me to turn it on with AT&T hahaha. In my opinion Target should pull these from their site since they are being sold under false pretenses.

Phone has cosmetic damage to corners. It would have been nice to know that it had cosmetic damage to the corners. Most likely, the phone was dropped and that's why there is damages to the corners. I just hope the phone isn't damaged on the inside.
