Samsung Galaxy A20 6.4" A205U 32GB T-Mobile - Black (Renewed)

This phone is a fraction of the price of modern flagship, top-of-the-line, smartphones, but it works really well considering the price.I’ve had this phone for a couple of days and here is what I have noticed:- If you are coming from a flagship phone, the first thing you probably will notice as you switch between apps is how slow this phone is. Yes, the processor is not amazing and Google Maps takes a long time to load, but that’s the number one thing you should expect with a phone sub $200! It’s not something you couldn’t get used to with time and patience. Sooo don’t expect to be playing any intensive games without some lag and/or app shut down.- While the resolution of this phone isn’t spectacular, the colors are incredibly vibrant! Samsung makes amazing screens. This makes the phone look more expensive than it is.- The exterior of the phone feels like cheap plastic, including the lock and volume buttons. Not a big deal if you have a case (which is recommended for any smart phone).- The camera quality is really great. I’m quite shocked by how crisp the pictures turned out! Usually when purchasing a smartphone of this price you can pretty much assume the camera will be terrible with pixelated image quality, but Samsung does a great job with making sure this doesn’t happen.- The speaker audio is pretty terrible, but nothing you couldn’t get used to...- Fingerprint reader is very responsive!- Samsung Themes lets you customize the phones UI, which is really nice. There are quite a lot of different free themes to choose from on the market.- I’ve had little to no issues with reception/data with t-mobile while using this phone.5 stars for the price. Some small flaws that come with a cheaper phone, but nothing too detrimental for a person who just needs a phone (with good screen + camera) for everyday use. If you expect more than this then you are expecting too much and you may need to raise your budget for something that suits your expectations.

Great backup Phone.

For $150 this is a great phone, the battery life is great and the speed seems surprisingly good for a budget phone. People complain about the screen resolution, but hardly noticiable for most uses. The only complaint I would have is that the "double tap" to wake the screen feature works about half the time. With it being an international phone its default is in Spanish, kind of unusual. Camera is decent although the wide angle lens seems a bit quirky with stretched and blurry corners, I'm guessing for distortion correction and somewhat low resolution. Video is standard and could of used a stabilization feature. Overall, you get a pretty decent phone for the price.

We bought this phone for the wifey. She had an apple I phone 5 c for years but as we are switching to tmobile, this is no use as it won't work with that carrier. We weren't looking for anything expensive or flashy really. Just needed a decent phone at a decent price. This was that phone but it was a bit better than expected.The screen. Huge! Especially compared the the old I phones. But more, it is really clear and the colors are great. People who get into all the specs and are more technically minded will perhaps tell you there are better screens and why. But were not creating art on it so it works for a normal person.The memory and processing speed look good so far. The onboard memory is big enough she won't need to worry about it for a long time. And the apps she is using seem to work well on it.The phone itself is attractive to look at. She loves the color and the shape of the screen. And the finger print reader works well for her. Though if you have a damp finger it has a bit of trouble registering. She hasn't tried the facial recognition yet but if there are any issues with it I will update this.The camera is pretty good too. That's not terribly important for her it's just a million cat pictures with them doing something daft. Where we have used other phones with better cameras we really can't complain. It's perfect for us.Will come back to update our review if it turns out there are flaws we haven't uncovered yet. But if you don't need all the top of the line stuff and don't want to spend a lot, this is a great option. It has a lot of attractive frilly bits at a much lower cost.

Fingerprint reader is a tad bit slow, but effective none the less. The time I spent researching this phone was extensive (or so I thought) and the most I have ever on any phone so far. No NFC on this version (international) which I do not mind at all. Currently on the Cricket network and 4G/LTE works excellent. Battery lasts me all day and still get home with about 20% juice left. The extra sim slot gives me hope and drive to one day use it over seas some day. Screen is beautiful and clear. Only reason for the three stars is because the mobile hotspot has issues. Connects to the network but has no actual internet access (like connecting to a router but the but the modem is down). I use my hotspot a ton since I have no actual internet. Once this issue is fixed, (hopefully it does) then I will bump up my rating.*** UPDATE 01/06/20 ***So it was actually my carrier that didn't allow me to use the mobile hotspot. If you're on cricket and can't seem to get Mobile hotspot, call support and they'll fix it for you. All functions are working perfectly!

Do not buy a phone from this company! I purchased a refurbished phone that only lasted 6 months. It would cost me more to repair than purchasing a new Samsung A20
