There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
so edit: few days with phone I have figured out mine is ATT version. stuck android 12 one ui 4.1. won't go android 13. haven't tried voice-mail. there's other things I can't think of but as long as this is all, I should be fine. I'm sure I'll find more I like & dislike about this purchase. but I'm satisfied for now. Maybe final edit:? OK so, it's got issues with charging port, sometimes connects sometimes doesn't. the block they sent doesn't work at all. the phone auto updates EVERYTHING randomly. things I've deleted or force stopped. &....I'm worried it will go black & just stop working soon like the others. why no Android 13 One UI 5.0? I got worthless screen protectors I've already returned, case is OK I bought, & I don't want to lose $220 because I was too nice to return an Att bootloaded version that won't get software or security updates.......jeez. Aren't all S20s & newer supposed to get Android 13? yea...sad.
The only downside is the charger that's included in the box was terrible, I ended up putting it in the trash. It didn't fit well at all and also took an insane amount of time to charge the phone. Before I switched to a new charging cable the phone was at 1% battery and telling me it would take 8 hours to be fully charged. Switched to a new cable 5 minutes later and it went down to 1 hour and 57 minutes to full charge. I'm not a super heavy phone user and I find that I charge this phone about every 2 or even 3 days if I'm not using it much.
Overall I'd say go for it, just be sure to also have a new charging cable to, because the one they give you sucks.
The things we didn't like are:
- the phone is slippery, especially with the curved front glass on the long edges of the phone
- the slim/lightweight style phone cases that protected the S7 won't protect the front glass on the S20, so you either have to never drop your phone, or you have to get a heavy, bulky phone case, which kinda defeats the purpose of having a thin, lightweight phone
- depending on how you're holding the phone, the curved edge can allow the phone to think that your holding fingers are actually trying to touch the screen and get interpreted as finger presses, which can lead to unexpected things happening on the screen or no action at all when you try to press a screen button or scroll with your other hand (because nothing happens since the phone thinks your holding finger is doing something). So you have to hold the phone the 'right way' to make sure the screen works. Unlike Steve Jobs, I don't think you should have to hold your phone a 'certain' way in order for it to work correctly.
- The curved edges make the front glass easy to shatter if you drop it front-glass down (see attached pic). Even with this little damage to the screen, the screen is half white, which makes the phone completely non-functional.
- It costs *more* to replace the screen than to buy a new phone (as of 10/26/22, screen replacement is $270, and the new phone with tax is $230).
- The phone doesn't support a micro-sd card.
- The phone doesn't have the nifty blinking blue/red/green LED on the S7 that let you know if you had a missed call, notification, or low battery. I miss that feature.
So, while it is a great phone and screen, the practical issues involved in everyday use fall short. We can't recommend this phone.
We are now looking at the S20 FE, which has a flat screen like the S7, a plastic backside (unlike the S20's glass backside), which we think will be a much better choice for our needs.
Note that the S20 FE as a new phone cost less than the S20, but the refurb'd FE's cost more than the refurb'd S20's. I think this is the marketplace voting that the FE is a better practical phone than the S20 flagship. And the FE front screen replacement only costs $150, which is a deal since you are much less likely to break the glass on the FE.

Top reviews from other countries
The only "problem" is that when you boot up the phone there is an AT&T logo and some of the software is AT&T based, but it still works in Canada with Bell, so it's more of a weird quirk than an issue.
