Product ReviewsSamsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 - 16GB - Black Mist (Unlocked) Smartphone

Good refurb, but sadly, AT&T branding.

Good refurbished product, but unfortunately has a AT&T factory image on it - the unremovable bloatware is taking up 70% of available system memory, so looking for an alternative image and/or rootkit now.

But the phone itself is good quality - unscratched screen with no apparent dead spots in the digitizer pickup, and no tooling marks on the internals as you sometimes get with referb products.Read full review...

Dissppointed

I was most disappointed it looked good but I couldn't save anything to it on a memory card I tried 3 different ones and it kept switching on and off not happy

Worth buying and tuning it :-)

+ low price
+ very fast system (memory large enough)

— chinese preinstalled apps
— google play doesn't work (perhaps due to the chinese restrictions)
— absolutely necessary to root >
+ after having rooted the system the device is perfect :-) Read full review...

Lots of features & so easy to use.

Bought this for my husband who moaned constantly about his old phone - now a happy bunny & finds it very easy to negotiate. Has set up his email so no need to switch on his laptop.

The best Samsung phone ever

Probably the best Samsung phone ever made, in my opinion. It's fast, fairly small, has an SD card slot, and most importantly it has a replaceable battery. There seem to be huge stocks still available in China, so you can now buy one for less than £100. Even better, official Samsung accessories such as the flip case can be bought for a small fraction of the original cost.

Downsides: 1) it's three generations old, so if that matters to you buy an S7. 2) Unless you root it, the latest Android version you'll get is 5 (Lollipop). 6 (Marshmallow) would be nice as it integrates SD card storage seamlessly with the onboard storage, but Samsung are unlikely to push it out.

I've bought several of these for people who wanted a reasonably priced smartphone, and have received nothing but thanks and reports of envious comments from people with later models.

Good condition and works well

Serves my purposes at far less cost than a new phone. I wanted (and got) - an effective, occasional-use phone and SMS, MP3 player, clear easily-read screen, ability to run certain specific apps and reasonable battery life (which phone manufacturers seem unable to deliver). Got all of these and more.Read full review...

Cheap smart phone!

Replaced my old S4 due to broken screen. Works perfect nice and easy. Only hiccup it couldn't find GPS signal. Tried all sorts of apps and advice but no luck until told to tighten screws on the back and it worked a treat! Now finds GPS quickly and doesn't loose it.Read full review...

A nice phone

I upgraded my S3 that was getting a little slow with all the apps on it. And was not disappointed. It seems very stable. And it was easy to copy my data and apps across. Just hold them back to back and most setting are copied automatically.
A nice phone with a slightly bigger screen. But very slim.Read full review...

Large screen with good camera

This was a replacement phone for my old samsung s4. It is every bit as good as the old one, with a large screen and a very good camera. It also has many useful features, and is easy to use and navigate through the menus.Read full review...
