Samsung Galaxy XCover 4s Enterprise Edition Rugged 32 GB Dual-SIM Android Smartphone - Black (UK Version) (Renewed)

Bought this as a refurb. It is in fact absolutely mint and looks totally unused. It came well packaged in a plain box, and it came with all required accessories. Phone itself I'd great. Good balance of sturdiness and portability. A lot smaller than most new phones on the market which is actually very welcome. Installed Android is v11 which is modern enough to support recently released apps. It's also a LOT lighter on resources and footprint than versions 12 onwards. Runs perfectly with its relatively modest 3GB RAM. Phone probably not ideal those that have pages and pages of apps, but you do have the option to add a micro SD card. Battery life isn't great but enough. Love my phone.

It was good and perfect

I paid fifty pounds for this renewed phone which is not unreasonable, it was described as in good condition, Very good condition would have been more accurate. The seller has several hundred good reviews and I can see why. The physical buttons at the bottom of the screen take a bit of getting used to, not a great problem though. It has enough ram to play first player games reasonably enough, not much memory but you can add an sd card, NFC is a good extra for a low cost phone. The battery is OK, but as I will be using it mainly as a wifi hotspot I'll just leave it plugged in all the time. So why only four stars? The main reason is for the price. You can buy a new doogee x97 pro on amazon for only seventy pounds. It has a full touch screen (no buttons), more ram, a better battery and also comes with NFC. I feel that fifty pounds for a renewed phone was just a little to much, given the competition. Would happily buy from the seller again though, I'm pleased with the service.

I really do like its design? B!

Failed in 8 weeks having to replace already

Adding a bit of clarity, Bought two of these phones, the first one opened had a scratch all the way down the screen but took a charge, so I decided to keep it rather than returning it as it is going to be used as a back phone. The second phone would not take a charge irrespective of the charger used, so I assumed the battery was U/S. I then laterally took the battery out and heated it on the radiator (wrapped in a towel) for 20 minutes and tried charging again - and this time the battery took a charge. Still not sure if the battery is U/S or charging circuit in the phone is intermittent, but I decided to keep the phone and cancel the return collection as this phone is also a back up phone. Point is that Amazon were excellent at dealing with this but the seller (so far) has not responded. The least they could do is respond and send a replacement battery so that I don't get caught out again!! I have therefor raised the rating from 2 stars to 3 stars for that reason; BUT I remain unsure as to when the phone or the battery may wrap up.. Previous review below.... Bought two of these phones, First one had quite bad scratch on screen and the second the phone failed to charge, 99% sure its the battery on the second phone is completely u/s - so much for 80% capacity. The other phone with scratch on the screen does take a charge but the battery drops from 100% to 90% in a few minutes without even making a call so I suspect that battery will wrap up soon also. NOT VERY GOOD SO FAR HENCE WHY ONE IS BEING RETURNED..

I like everything about the phone.

Got the phone today, it’s locked to a company so it’s basically unusable, it was someone’s old work phone and after hard reset still will not let me use the phone, it won’t let you do load apps or anything due to the blocks in place on the phone, sending it back do not buy
