Samsung Galaxy A71 A716U 5G 128GB Prism Cube Black Renewed

Excellent Condition. Put Simm & SD in and was back up and running in no time. Great price for what I feel is the best midrange phone on the market. Fast delivery. Wasn't down long due to Amazon Prime. Good job everyone!! I personally recommend this A 71 series. Over 256 gigabytes of storage with an SD card. Easy set up. Easy to use. Bright, bold and beautiful display. Excellent camera system. Pretty durable with the Defender series Otter Box protection and safety glass. 5 stars.

Update: within 48 hours the battery swelled up cracked the screen and the back it was making a hissing noise and was hot to the touch. Don't buy this phone So the phone itself works very well. Actually showed up in near perfect condition. however, the charging block that was sent with the phone is absolute garbage. It made the phone so glitchy that you can't use it. I had to go out and buy a new charger for it. I wish that the sellers would do a better job of trying to help their customers actually be able to use the phone. The brick they sent could have destroyed the phone. That being said. So far the phone is great. And I highly recommend this model. Just not this seller.

This was a replacement for the same model phone that - despite being water resistant - stopped recognizing my SD card after getting it wet while using the phone in heavy rain(!) The phone itself is just as described. It didn't come in the original box, but I didn't need that. It *did* come with a charger and some instructions as well as the little SIM card removal tool (I already had one, but thanks for including it). I won't go into what this model can & can't do, just to say that the refurb does everything my original new model did. This particular one was bought as "Refurbished - Excellent" and honestly there isn't a mark on it. It looks just like my original A71 did when I first opened it. The only reason for the 4 star rather than 5 is that the battery life is poor. My old phone would go up to 2 days on a single charge, but this refurb is less than half of that. Whereas constant use would take the original phone down from 100% to 95% in about an hour, now it's closer to 20 minutes to use that same amount of juice. I'm currently doing gig work and using my phone for that and find that after a few hours of work the battery has dropped down to around 35% from full where previously I was still up around 65% after the same period. I'd still recommend this, it's just a shame that you're at the mercy of whoever had the phone previously and how well they managed the battery since these aren't upgradeable.

I had this phone for 5 days. 3 days I did nothing with it. After I charged it each day the battery went down maybe 3 to 5%. The day I added everything to it it kept connecting to the charger. Then I started using it and it seemed like it was being recorded while I was on the phone. The speaker phone seemed to sound like it was under water. So the second day actually using it I came here to get a replacement. Mind you nothing was wrong with the charging of the battery. I plugged it up last night (right after ordering a replacement) and it charged fine. and I went to bed. I woke up to the phone bring almost dead. I unplugged and replaced. Nothing. I realized I needed to factory reset the phone to send it back. As all my personal information is now on the phone. So I tried to factor reset it. It was at 9%. So it wouldn't. Because it needed to be at 10%. The phone began to rapidly lose charged until it got to 3%. I realized the wifi and location was off. So I turned those off. At 3% I was able to remove all the things from the phone but couldn't find the trash to make sure. So I canceled the replacement and I'm charging the money I paid for this one as a NEVER AGAIN LOST! Because I WILL NOT send it back with the possibility of all my information being in the phone. I don't trust this. I feel like this was done on purpose to get information when we send them back.

First, I always thoroughly research reviews and weigh the negative reviews seriously, and discerning if there is an theme of overall dissatisfaction-especially on specifics. So, although I did see some negative ones...the majority of reviews were pretty good! So although I understand reviews can be subjective based on preferences and expectations, I have to say my experience with this phone and purchase has been ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! 10 STARS!!! **Second, I did order this one after I made the mistake of not realizing I needed to check compatibility of the carrier on an unlocked phone. I know, I know....but to be fair, before this purchase I haven't had a phone upgrade since 2016-not even 4G, sooo. So if you are looking to upgrade a phone and stay with your carrier, make certain your unlocked phone is also compatible with the carrier you use!** Anyway, back to the review. I ordered this 9pm on a Sunday and received it at 8am Monday via Prime. The box it came in was in excellent condition; completely sealed and not a mark on it. I opened the box, saw what looked to be a phone that was in perfect/brand new condition. No kidding! This phone had not a scratch, scrape, fingerprint on it. It had a clear plastic cover over the screen and came with one SIM/SD card key, one USB plug and one USB cord (in original package). As soon as I plugged it in, it was already charged at 44%. Popped in my SIM/SD card. I powered it on and it was FULLY UNLOCKED for T-Mobile. I started the Smart Switch to transfer my data from my old Samsung. Within less than 20 minutes; all of my data, pictures, videos, apps, messages and all other data was fully transferred to the new Galaxy A71 5G. I unplugged the phone when it was at around 88% and have been using it nonstop for about 7 hours to sign in to all of my apps, take many personal and business calls (long ones), many texts as well as customizing my preferences; and it is STILL only at 36%! Calls are crisp, speed with everything is lightening fast, ringers and sounds are perfect and the phone on speaker and Duo/Meet for video calls are amazing. Creative and vibrant screen/colors make this an extra special gift to myself even better and more enjoyable. I am over the moon with this purchase and my teens can't believe I am now in the Cell Phone 21st Century! KUDOS TO THIS SELLER, WELL DONE!!

Nice looking device for the price. Works well so far no issues other than when trying to smart switch it messed up a couple times towards the end but overall pretty impressed

So, if you want to use this particular Samsung Galaxy A71 5G on a GSM network, I'm sure it works fine. I was forced into putting my Red Pocket Mobile GSMA (AT&T) sim in it and for that, it works great. But I wanted to use it with RPM's CDMA network (Verizon mvno). The CDMA service redirects phone calls to a call line I'd rather not mention. All apn settings are correct. (I've had the phone for a week now). I can put in a Verizon sim and it will work, however, Verizon's compatibility checker shows the phone IMEI as incompatible. It's the same results with Twigby (Verizon mvno). I checked with someone with much more tech savvy than myself and he explained a myriad of possibilities of why my current Verizon sim works now in this phone but I'm not going to bore you with those details. Suffice to say, Verizon has a list of IMEI's that they consider incompatible, specifically T-Mobile in this case. Who knows how long this phone would actually work on Verizon! I understand I *may* be able to get this phone's IMEI pushed through if I got service directly through Verizon but this is a second low use line and I prefer the Red Pocket Mobile yearly CDMA plan for it. My point is, why hassle with all that just to keep this phone in particular? It's not worth the additional time Just get a Verizon unlocked phone. So, by the listing's definition of this phone being "fully unlocked" and for use with all carriers, I am forced to disagree until Verizon recognizes that T-Mobile phones may very well be fully unlocked. Until that time, this Unlocked T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy A71 is NOT for use with all carriers. Had it been listed as a GSM unlocked phone, then I would have avoided this listing and moved on. One thing sellers can never do is reimburse your time spent with inconveniences and they NEVER offer to reimburse you for gas. I will say that cosmetically the phone was in excellent condition. I imagine if Verizon ever updates their system to at least consider an unlocked former T-Mobile phone, there would be no issue as Amazon Renewed is often a great way to purchase like new items. I did, however, have this same exact issue a couple of years ago with a former T-Mobile yet unlocked phone but in that case it wasn't a big deal because that phone was being used with my Red Pocket Mobile GSMA line. It was a Motorola One 5G Ace by T-Mobile. I returned the phone in this review. Thank you for reading.

This phone has been one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon. It has excellent connectivity and works on all networks. My sister was absolutely thrilled with her gift. It's also in perfect condition and very reasonably priced.
