Only problem with these (cpo in general) is the battery... I have an s5 neo that I use as a tablet for games and web and stuff. Battery goes to crap, I buy a replacement and off I go. But these? You have to either be confident enough to heat it up, open it up, place the delicate cable properly without breaking any other delicate cables, and somehow seal it back up. Or, go somewhere and pay someone to do it, in which case you may as well buy a new device especially budget models.
It's so much easier to remove a click battery door, shove in a rectangle with metal contacts and be on your way lol.
On the plus side at least they're getting away from the curve edge displays. I use an s7 as my phone currently. It's the newest Samsung non budget flat screen device, until the very new ones are finally flat again like s22 but $1000+ new. it stinks having the non user removable battery though. I'd love to see user removable batteries come back along with the flat displays. I never trust the water resistance anyway. It would be my luck I've got the one with the factory flaw in the seal lol.
Bit of a ramble. Lol. Without brand new batteries, most people know how to reformat a device and could renew it and buff out slight scratches themselves 🤔 I get why they won't sell them "as is" with other people's info still in it though.
