I've had this phone for 10 weeks now, and it is still in PERFECT condition. It was worth going with the "excellent condition" refurbished choice. Not a single scratch or ding in sight. Battery continues to be great. Software runs perfectly. Plus I love the purple color - it was cheaper than the black options but much cuter IMO! This is a serious life hack, I can't believe how much more affordable this was than getting an actual new phone.

I ordered 4 Galaxy S9's in very good condition at the end of Jan 20' for about $235 (US) each. The shipping was pretty quick and the packaging was excellent. Each phones box has the various ID information and battery test info. Three of them were in almost pristine condition. The other one had a some noticeable scratches and dings. The screens of all four phones were in great shape, no visible scratches or dead spots noticed. ----- For my order, RefurbLane also included a pretty heavy duty screen protector for each phone. It's a rigid molded shield as opposed to the flexible clear film type. They might have trouble staying in place after a while though. Some protective cases can hold them in place regardless of whether the screen protector has sticky left or not. Our phones have Otterbox cases which work great. If the shield does get unstuck, it still can't go anywhere. These shields are great, use them if you can. ----- After checking the IMEI numbers, three of the phones were made within days of each other, right at 2 years old. The more rustic phone was just short of it's 3rd birthday. The batteries for all four tested out to be equal to or better than the test results they marked on the box. The external speaker on one of them is a little suspect at louder volumes but seems fine normal speaker phone volumes. ----- The tech bits were great also. All the phones were scrubbed and factory reset. No previous owner software, lock screens or password in the way. All the phones came with identical pre-installed software/apps and at the same version number (even the older phone). That made setting up all four easier since they were identical software wise. ----- All in all, we're pretty happy with deciding to go with RefurbLane instead of defaulting to AtoZ. We're now thinking about picking up a quartet of iPads. I can't comment on customer service or returns since I haven't needed to contact them so far. (Mar 20') We're very likely to buy from these folks again.

I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the handset. I ordered "Very Good" condition. What I received was like new. The original protective film was still in place around the frame of the phone and there were no scratches or flaws of any kind on the screen. After 1 month of constant use, the battery is in perfect condition and the phone functions flawlessly. I already have, and will continue to recommend RefurbLane to anyone needing a phone, but not interested in paying overly inflated prices for brand new technology.

My transaction with this seller (O'Crack) was excellent. The phone was shipped and arrived sooner than expected, was in flawless condition (looks brand new), and is functioning well with ~88% battery life. The packaging was carefully completed and included many layers of protection. The included phone charger is new and works well. I will look for this specific seller when purchasing phones in the future.

I waited to use the phone for a while before reviewing. I am truly impressed. This phone works and looks as new. Not a single glitch. It is not pre-loaded with junk. It's really unlocked. All features and functions (and Bixby) work. My micro SIM (the small one) works, also a regular SIM will work. *The SIM loads in at the TOP of the phone using a KEY provided- DO NOT OPEN THE BACK OF THIS PHONE! or you will break the waterproof seal. I am now looking for another phone, this one will be for my son. Phone arrived faster than expected. Even the customer service and follow up are exceptional. Thank you so much!

Getting it delivered only took 2 days. Phone was packaged securely and thoroughly. The phone itself was in wonderful condition even though I bought it as “Good.” Have no complaints. Amazing service and quality for an unbeatable price.

Update: Bought this S9 in fair condition for $137 on 7-26-21 and it's still going strong. Everything still works perfectly even though I've dropped it several times and abused it quite a bit. The battery still shows as being in good condition when tested and the device functions as expected. I bought a phone in fair condition and chose standard 6-day shipping. The phone arrived nicely packaged in just 2 days. The phone is (in my opinion) excellent condition with some minor scratches. Everything on it works and the battery life seems to be pretty good. I am very pleased with my purchase and will definitely never buy a brand new phone ever again and will shop here instead. Thanks!

To start; I'm pretty critical about doing reviews and not super comfortable doing them early. So from a "one week of use" perspective this is by far one of the best decisions I have made with regards to a cell phone ever! Delivery was fast (except I didn't know it required a signature (I probably missed that when ordering)) and it came with charger and cable. The phone was like new...ZERO imperfections on the screen. Seems like the battery is all of the 80% they promise and the phone functions perfect! Zero complaints after one week. For the faint at heart moving data from your old phone to this one without mainstream market help was a breeze! I won't recommend anything...just google it and it's easy. I lost nothing and all apps worked perfect in my android to android transfer. Only thing I'm mad about is that I didn't buy one for my wife who I already bought a new SE for a few weeks back. I WILL return and recommend RefurbLane to anyone who will listen!

I would give this transaction 6 stars if I could. This phone literally looks factory new. Original Samsung packaging and documentation included. It even had the OEM looking screen protector on it. On time shipping and great price as well. Job well done RefurbLane.

Is the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S9 a good phone?

Yes, it is. Unlocked Galaxy S9 phones are known for their amazing screens and smooth interfaces. Fun fact: Samsung screens are so good that even Apple buys Samsung displays for their new top-of-the-line iPhones. Impressive, huh? I’d say so. Also, Samsung is known for having some of the smoothest versions of Android. It’s really hard to find a bad Samsung device. And since these phones are unlocked, they’ll work on just about any carrier. Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, T Mobile—we got you covered. Don’t worry, we don’t have favorites, we want to help you no matter what carrier you use!

What’s the best place to find an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S9 for sale?

Amazon doesn’t check their refurbished retailers for quality. Or give extended warranties. That’s bad news. But I have good news for you too… RefurbLane provides all of these, free of charge :) We’re so nice, right?

What if I want a GSM unlocked Galaxy S9?

When you're buying a GSM unlocked Galaxy S9, you're getting a phone that can work on any GSM carrier such as T-Mobile, AT&T, Cricket, Metro, and probably most European and international service carriers.

Looking for a cheap unlocked Galaxy S9 for sale?

RefurbLane is the best place to get your next unlocked Galaxy S9 for sale. Why? Because our phones have a similar price to equivalent used Galaxy S9 phones, while coming at a quality equivalent to new models. Pretty cool, huh?
