This is the first time I buy smartphones so I'll stick to describing my purchase experience rather than commenting on technical specifications, which I believe other reviews cover in much more detail.
I actually purchased a used device from TJ GLOBAL. I can truly say it's been a great deal.
The order arrived well within the estimated time. The box was closed and properly sealed. It came with all its components (device, charger, USB cable, earphones), all fully packaged and even with the stickers on. I was pleased to find that the device had no scratches and didn't show any sign of having ever been used.
The device works perfectly. So far it hasn't blacked out, flashed, flickered or unexpectedly turned off. The battery charges in the average time. I've had it for about 15 days and no trouble so far.
The phone is unlocked. I have successfully activated it here in Colombia. I use it with Claro and Movistar SIM cards. It makes and receives calls alright, picks wi-fi and does everything it's supposed to do.
The user manual came in what I believe is Hungarian. This device is a European version of the Galaxy S III, it seems. I haven't seen any adverse effects of this so far. The only difference is that people I know who are familiar with smartphones have noticed that this version is slightly slimmer than the one sold in Colombia, and upon comparison it appears to be so.
By the way, if when you get calls you tap on the green button and it does nothing, it's not that it's malfunctioning. You have to tap and drag the green button towards the red button to the right in order to answer a call. I lost lots of calls and was close to return the phone before I learned this.
I recommend this product and the seller TJ GLOBAL. I'll edit this review if I have a problem with it in the future. If I don't, assume it's still working perfectly.

Es primera vez que compro smartphones así que me limitaré a describir mi experiencia de compra antes que comentar sobre especificaciones técnicas, lo cual creo que otros reviewers cubren con mucho más detalle.
Compré un aparato usado a TJ GLOBAL. Puedo decir que sí ha sido una ganga.
La orden llegó dentro del tiempo estimado. La caja estaba cerrada y debidamente sellada. Vino con todos sus componentes (el aparato, el cargador, cable USB y audífonos), todo completamente empacado y con los stickers puestos. Me encantó que el aparato no tenía rayones ni mostraba ninguna señal de haber sido usado jamás.
El aparato funciona perfectamente. Hasta ahora no se ha quemado, ni centelleado, ni parpadeado ni se ha apagado súbitamente. La batería carga en el tiempo promedio. Lo he tenido por cerca de 15 días sin problemas hasta el momento.
El teléfono está desbloqueado (liberado). He podido activarlo aquí en Colombia. Lo uso con SIM cards de Claro y Movistar. Hace y recibe llamadas bien, coge wi-fi y hace todo lo que se supone que haga.
El manual de usuario vino creo que en húngaro. Yo diría que este aparato es una versión europea del Galaxy S III. No he visto efectos adversos hasta ahora. La única diferencia es que la gente que conozco y está familiarizada con los smartphones ha notado que esta versión es ligeramente más delgada que la que se vende en Colombia, y al compararlas parece que sí es así.
A propósito, si cuando reciban llamadas tocan el botón verde y no hace nada, no es que se haya dañado. Tienen que tocar y arrastrar el botón verde hacia el botón rojo de la derecha para poder responder la llamada. Perdí cantidad de llamadas y casi lo devuelvo antes de darme cuenta de eso.
Recomiendo este producto y al vendedor TJ GLOBAL. Editaré esta review si tengo un problema en el futuro. Si no, asuman que todavía funciona perfectamente.

What is an unlocked phone?An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan. |
What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier. Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card. Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract. |
How do I set up my unlocked phone?The first thing you’ll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier’s network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you’re traveling. As long as it’s activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination. |

Samsung Galaxy S10e Review: BUY or AVOID in 2021?
Mark Spurrell
Who would have thought that buying a cellphone online could be so hassle free, convenient and so easy these days? I was one of those people who always have doubts when buying stuff online, cant be bothered with the hassle of returning it back, going through this and that if something dont work. I have always been the buy, make it work right away and im out the door.So i decided to try buying this online, which so far have pretty good reviews...and trust me im the type who goes through each and every reviews just to be sure. So i bought a white one for myself and a blue one for my husband. Not that anything was wrong with our phones, the price was great, so why not.It came, i didnt put any expectations at all. Took it out of the box, warranty, manual everything was inside. Everything was packaged the way its supposed to be packaged and i been using it since i got it. flawless, no problems so far...im actually thinking of buying another one for my brother in law today.how convenient is that?if you are one of those people who is always wary and cant be bothered type of person like me and ure looking for a phone...this one definitely is a no brainer. and i do all my work on my phone, my spreadsheets, my music player, my work emails, basically everything. overseas conference, calls, u name it, everything is on that phone. you could also put 2 sim cards in it.what more can you want?
