Samsung Galaxy S7 G930T 32GB Unlocked Smartphone - T-Mobile Compatible, Black | Perfect for Business, Travel & Everyday Use

I wanted to upgrade from a Samsung S3 to get a better phone and specifically a better camera. After researching online, I narrowed my choice to two phones (refurbs), the Samsung S7 or the Google Pixel. The Samsung S7 won out on price. The google pixel would have cost me considerably more for a used phone. It's difficult to beat a lightly used S7 for $230, free shipping and a 30 day warranty.I ordered this used S7 with a little trepidation. Would the phone be in good condition? Would there be any problems with the phone or difficulty transitioning? Would I like or love the S7? The remainder of this review addresses those questions.The phone was in very good condition. Minor if any use. My partner has an S7 a few years old, and this phone I ordered looked to be in better condition. There were no problems with the phone in terms of hardware. The phone was ready for setup.The transitioning was a little long winded and scary. The phone setup asks for my old google and Samsung account id's and passwords I may have used from my own phone. After fiddling around for while, I created a new Samsung account and figured out my old Google account. I also had to look up the email settings on my old phone to get the email set up correctly. After an hour or so, I was able to make calls, send messages and retrieve emails.This S7 obviously hadn't been used for a while, because it took several hours of updates to get the Android and Samsung software current. I decided to do these updates myself all at once, rather than schedule them at night. It took several hours to go through the downloads, installs and probably 7 or 8 restarts. I did this while I was updating my FB status on my PC :)The phone itself is great. It's fairly snappy and the screen quality (especially at the highest setting) really looks good. The "always on" is nice. The phone displays the date and time when not in use (I have a phone holder in my office so now it's my clock and calendar). Very nice camera on the phone. Takes pretty decent low light photos most the time, but some can be out of focus in very low light. Have to keep snapping until you get the one you want. In normal indoor or bright light the phone doesn't struggle at all.My only slight nitpick is the battery life isn't outstanding. If you want to get more than a day of battery life you have to choose a medium or lower screen resolution and energy saving options. This is definitely a phone you really need to leave in the charger at night.All in all, the S7 is the best deal on the planet for a used phone.
