I Phone SE 2020

babs . 2 months ago

It is very similar to my S6 -same size it fits the same case. It works about the same also. The transferring information from the old phone to the new phone did not go well and the geek squad was useless, no help at all. I had to go to a store to get it done.

Condition of Verizon's pre-certified phones

wdlr . 3 months ago

I purchased this pre-owned phone based on Verizon's representation of it as being "Great." Cosmetically, it is in excellent condition; but the battery life is only at 83%, and Apple's threshold for good battery health is 80%. So be aware when buying a pre-owned phone from Verizon that the condition they state only describes how the phone looks. I find that disappointing.

1 Display size is measured diagonally.
2 Battery life varies by use and configuration. See apple.com/batteries for more information.
3 iPhone SE is splash, water, and dust resistant and was tested under controlled laboratory conditions; iPhone SE has a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 1 meter up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty.

I Phone SE 2020

Condition of Verizon's pre-certified phones

wdlr . 3 months ago

Good device, Meh battery

Michael . 3 months ago

The phone is overall fine - but I was led to believe that the battery life would be more reflective of the device having a new (or mostly new) battery. I still find myself having to charge the device twice daily despite a total of 2 hours of active screen time and minimal data/GPS usage. For reference, my usage has actually decreased since I originally got a new 2020 SE, and my battery usually lasted 1.5-2 days with that new device.

Ok

4 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I did not think it was going to be this little I wish I would have gotten a bigger phone. That’s my only down fall and for this being my first I phone I like it

Good condition

Verizon client 5 years . 4 months ago

its in good condition and working perfectly fine so far

Refurbished phones are no good

Robert . 4 months ago

had the phone for 2 days and the phone froze up and could not fix the problem, so I sent the phone back.

Owner

Pablo S . 4 months ago

The battery life is just as bad as my old phone and theirs no improvement on service with the 5g upgrade.

Battery capacity leads to immediate frustration and effort to keep functional

John G . 5 months ago

Second CP-O’d phone from VZW and the performance of this - battery and related issues - has been surprising and disappointing after great experience with previous purchase. When I checked battery capacity found 83%, which is close to range of suggested replacement. I didn’t check this on my previous phone as it held charge and operated/UX so well. I am off loading apps and pictures trying to keep this phone powered so I m not tethered to a charger several times a day. Not worth sending back and paying associated fees to restock and activate replacement.

Great so far!

5 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Great so far! It didn't come with a cable so I ordered one on Amazon. Now I have a spare plug. AI tech support got it activated for me.

New battery

The battery life is horrible
