Good phone at budget price
2 of 2 found this helpful A year after release, I paid well less than half the retail price for refurbished. I feel that's a bargain. It'll get quarterly software updates for 2 more years and security updates for another year past that. It released with Android 11 and just updated to 12. Samsung claims it will update to 13 next year.
This phone is a low midrange in terms of features and hardware, so don't expect great anything, but I think everything is at least good. I don't play games, so I can't give a good review, but from what I've read it probably won't do that well. It's certainly faster than my 5 year old Moto g5. Camera photos are good. I'm a light user so the battery lasts at least 4 days for me, but should last a day for a heavy user. The 5g connection (midband t-mobile) has been great. Solid reception with 400+ down/70+ Mbps up. This phone does not do millimeter wave 5g.
Other reviewers bash the "low" resolution screen, but it looks fine to me. (Not great in bright day light, reminding me it is a budget phone.) I'm getting older, so a super high resolution that displays small print/icons are wasted on my failing eyes anyway.
Build quality is solid, even if mostly plastic. Feels heavy, probably is because of the big battery.

You can try refills. I did and it didn't work well for me. The genuine just worked.
Just works. Clean prints from my brother printer. Genuine brother toner is reasonable enough in price and provides high quality prints on my DCP-7065DN.
Free additional, related review because they don't take reviews for that item: I tried to use the toner refill (newera) but the result was very disappointing. It was easy to refill the cartridge, but the prints were absolutely unacceptable. Maybe it'll work great for other printers, but not mine. The text print was light and shadowed, the areas of the print that should be white were VERY grey. At 1/10th the price of genuine, I had to try.

Big screen, great battery life and nimble browsing
2 of 2 found this helpful Made for the web only user, this Chromebook ticks all then required checks. It has decent, large display, good battery life (8+ hrs), ok memory (2GB), an ok CPU and a low price. All that gives a good, if not great, performing budget web browsing machine. It'll browse as well or better than a Windows/Linux machine 2 to 3 times the price. The security of Chromebooks are a plus. The software updates are seamless. No more waiting for Windows 10 to download and install updates! There are down sides, but they should be expected at the price and are not deal breakers : The screen is 720p ("low resolution HD") and not 1080p. I really don't notice. It would be nice to have 4GB RAM instead of 2GB. Some web pages with a lot going on can slow the browser down. It would be nice if the CPU had a little more power too. Keyboard is not the highest quality, but decent (I don't type that much when I web surf so not a problem). Again none are deal breakers, this is a great machine for web browsing and light online office work (Google Docs type work). If you need other applications (photo editing, gaming) this may not be the machine for you.
