I hate hate HATE buying new phones at full price. Plus I hate changing phone models. I'd been buying Samsung Galaxy 6 for six years and just kept buying refurbished ones because I didn't want to change my phone interface even a little (all hail Gen X). Finally I threw in the towel and got this model, refurbished of course, because there were so many apps that wouldn't work on the 6. Honestly I wouldn't know this was refurbished if you didn't tell me. And having bought at least seven refurbished phones (me and my kid) I can tell. The battery on this phone charges fast and lasts a long time. The screen is pristine, and the buttons on the side work as if it just came from the factory. The new Samsung interface wasn't different enough from the Galaxy 6 to bother even grouchy old me. I did back it up and restore it via my Google account so that probably helped. It has 128MB of memory so I can take all the photos and videos I want and not worry about putting a memory card in.All in all I highly recommend this phone. I do find the new Bixby feature to be quite annoying. I'm looking for a way to disable it. I understand why Samsung wants to enter that market, but I don't like meeting Bixby when I'm trying to turn my phone off the traditional Samsung way.I also highly recommend buying Amazon Refurbished. I am not being compensated to say this and I didn't get a free phone or a break in price to review it. I usually buy Amazon Refurbished but the time before this I tried a different company and it wasn't worth it. A bunch of hassle and a phone that hadn't been released from the previous owner.
