Samsung Galaxy A13 5G A136U 64GB GSM/CDMA Unlocked Android Smartphone (US Variant) - Black

Pros: Phone really is unlocked. I had no issue putting my MINT mobile sim card in. I used the Samsung utility to transfer everything from my old Android 7 phone which was super helpful. I don't run a ton of apps at once or game. But for someone who checks emails, texts, wants decent pictures and texts, it's hard to go wrong for the price.

Cons: No cons for the phone itself.

But just be aware, even though seller is listing this phone as new, it is not. I figured something was strange that this phone was $165 from this seller as new, but $179 on other sites in reconditioned state. Phone came in a tired looking package that had clearly been opened. When I turned on the phone there were text messages that were 3 months old thanking me for using Boost Mobile. Other texts listed the previous owners phone number and pin code. No idea if the phone was a store return, a reconditioned phone or what. But it was very clean, original plastic film covering phone was still on and it didn't have any finger smudges. Wherever it came from it was lightly used. Only giving 4 stars because incorrectly listed as a new phone.

Overall Review: I would buy this phone at this $165 price again.

Pros: None

Cons: None

Overall Review: It is listed as new but the box was open. I don't mind an open box but the condition should be listed as such. From there I was suspicious of it not being factory unlocked. I need to be completely factory unlocked as I am going overseas. In the end, it is not worth it for me to take the chance. However, the phone did appear to be in mint condition.
