SAMSUNG Galaxy S7 32GB Unlocked (Verizon Wireless) - Gold

I ordered this phone from the seller A1 Global Corp and am completely satisfied.A number of people who bought this phone from other sellers complained that it was not a "NEW" phonebut a reconditioned/refurbished phone. This was not the case with my purchase.This phone is new in an unopened box with all the accessories. Prior to making the purchase I contacted this sellerand asked if the phone was "new". This seller responded quickly to say it was "new" with all accessories.It pays to contact the seller of any item if there is some doubt or question prior to purchasing.This is my first smartphone. I grew up in the rotary phone era so I'm "latest technology challenged".The documents included were very basic and not very helpful. So I d/l the 174 page Samsung manual.Which got me started in setting up the phone and getting started in the right direction.After fully charging the phone I opened a Verizon account.What I should have expected was - this is a 2016 phone and does not have the latest Android version.So - there was 29 updates to get me current with the latest Android version for the Galaxy S7.Very time consuming but necessary.Overall I am extremely pleased with this purchase and especially the great customer service provided by this seller.A new phone that works great at the lowest price anywhere.

I returned this phone after 3 days. I was an early Android user (MyTouch) and switched to iPhone in 2012. iPhones have their own issues, especially with batteries, so I thought it would be fun to try out something totally new. I've been hearing so much praise for the Samsungs so I got a gold S7. I will say that I loved the feel and look of it. That's all I loved though. Here are the worst things about it:1. The battery drained shockingly quick. At the end of the day I was at 15%. For a brand new phone that's really bad.2. The phone comes packed with bloatware that cannot be removed.3. The Android operating system is truly awful. There were so many weird quirks, bugs, and missing features. For example, there wasn't a restricted access mode so you can have your kids watch a video and not mess with the screen...but there's an app for one. Or the sound produced by the Samsung headphones is so bad I actually thought they were broken. They're not...but there's an app to "fix" that. Are you freaking kidding me?! Even seemingly little things caused a ton of inconvenience. My phone connected to my car's stereo via Bluetooth, but I was not able to use the car's controls. I had to actually pick up and unlock the phone to change a song. To Spotify it's probably just a little bug that they'll get around to fixing whenever, but to me it's a big deal. And I realized that if I kept this phone I'd better settle in for many of these situations, because the truth is developers don't care about Android and its apps will always be given lowest priority. And I'm not about to accept that when I paid for a "top of the line" phone. Is this what passes for normal to longtime Android users? Was that my fatal mistake, switching to this OS with too-high expectations, like having full Bluetooth functionality, or sending text messages without an app crash?4. The phone was always warm/hot. Even when I wasn't using it. I'd pick it up and it'd be suspiciously warm. Made me very nervous given Samsung's recent fire issues.So back this terrible phone went. It's too bad, I think the design is beautiful and I wanted it to work because Apple isn't super great either. But unless you're on a budget or a super advanced user ready to root your phone, iPhone it is.

I did get a gold phoneI have been using it for about 3 months now and it seems to be working pretty good. Good value for the money.

A solid phone for a good price. Unfortunately, I've had some issues with the charging port and the charger they sent me. It sometimes claims there's water in the port and refuses to charge. I had to buy a different cable from a third-party vendor that fits in the port a little better and doesn't have this issue. Annoying.

Disappointed by the quality. I expected better from Samsung and realized their warranty has A LOT TO DESIRE. Because of the fact that the charging cable broke and their response was "TO GET ANOTHER CABLE..." really? with less than a month old??The next day I received the phone, I dropped it causing a minimal crack to the lower part of the screen. The phone works and there's no damage to the touchscreen, I'm afraid if it gets wet, water may slip in the "crack". SAMSUNG claims that will NOT repair damage that's not under warranty, but will not provide with a charging cable replacement either, nor they'll replace (even if you pay) to have the crystal replaced. They have no authorized service centers and they will not recommend anyone and, if it's not serviced by an authorized dealer, they'll void the warranty...So what they're saying is:Look! We messed up with the note, the refrigerators (and who knows what else)We'll take your money, get has much capital as we can and then, maybe later, MAY BE able to do something for you. On the meantime, keep on buying our products. And remember if you broke it, we won't fix it, but don't YOU DARE have fix by somebody else, because we'll void your "warranty"Sadly I realized I made a mistake by purchasing this phone because I THOUGHT Samsung was a good and reliable company and it just proved me WRONG.I had my friends HTC one phone screen replaced. It was not just the crystal, it was the screen itself too. (It got run over by a real tractor, not home's, lawnmower and HTC replaced it without a charge, YES!!! WITHOUT CHARGE. (only once)
