So, has anyone here taken the noble plunge and gotten a “refurbished” Samsung phone? Was your phone blessed with a second life by the tech gods, or did it show up looking like it barely survived a tumble from a rollercoaster?
Are refurbs a solid way to get a flagship without selling a kidney, or am I just buying some other poor soul’s repair nightmare? Do they come with all their original box goodies, or am I stuck with knockoff chargers and a sticker that says “trust us, it’s fine”?
