Deliverybwas excellent. I had to sign for it which means no chance of it being stolen. Super happy overall.
App works well
Phone has good sound
Good value for money
A hard lesson learned! We could have bought a refurbished phone that actually works and bought a spare too. Which is our next plan. The refurbished phone was at 50% charge out of the box. It came in a refurbished box with an aftermarket white wall phone charger (2.0A) and USB-C chaging cable. That means it supports Quick Charge technology like the original! The phone had NO scratches or issues whatsover. It came with protective cover on the screen, like it did when it was new. I followed the instructions from Verizon on changing to a new device. You need to back up to the Verizon Cloud or a Google Gmail account first. Also, you'll need to swap your SIM card and your SD card (if equipped) from your old phone, requiring a paper clip or safety pin (not included). With the backup, changing device research and step-by-step process, and making sure both phones were fully charged took under two hours. I was NOT able to retain my apps or the customized home screen. So, that requires a little bit of retweaking (about 30-45 minutes). Voice was is exceptional and the battery life is just as good as when my original was brand new. All in all, I have had ZERO issues and was able to get back up to speed again.
My advice: Get the best phone case and screen protector you can. Buy a back-up phone in case you need it. My local Verizon store no longer offers replacements but Verizon supports the LG G7 ThinQ. Even with two phones (around $340.77 with tax plus a phone case), you just can't beat it! The alternative is to get something current and new that is equivalent from Verizon or online. That will cost you though. New competitive phones run about $750 each. Again, two phones is the way to go if you depend on your phone like I do and want to ensure you have minimal downtime. The experience I had with cell phone repair was not a great one...you just can't trust your device will be fixed correctly.
My wife felt nervous about receiving a refurbished phone. I'm sure some others somewhere "might" have had some issues. However, my experience has been a blessing! So, I really recommend this solution. It was affordable (all things considered) and saves your valuable time (you can activate your phone without having to go into a Verizon store at all). I really did NOT want to upgrade to any other new phone. I really LOVE my LG G7 ThinQ and now I can keep using this platform (until they no longer support the device at Verizon or technology changes so much that it no longer makes sense to keep it).
1. Iffy packing by the look of it. phone was able to rattle around in box, not secured. BUT - nothing was scratched, and nothing seemed out of order or injured. So I guess don't judge a book by it's cover.
2. No manual. No OEM rapid charger. Charger was a rather generic standard charger with no name brand to indicate even a 3rd party seller, but it does seem to work fine...so far. It is not a rapid charger, but I have heard that rapid charging a phone can eventually lower battery life, so maybe this is good in the end?
3. Sticky substance on phone when taken out of package. This was able to be wiped off, and after cleaning I found no scratches or any other problem. Once clean it looked like it was right out of the original box when new.
4. Loaded all my apps and all the customizations I like to have, and it seems to be working fine. Apps load quick enough, and I can't tell that there's lag. A couple of the games I use are 3D heavy, or are graphic heavy, and the G7 seems to be handling them just fine. Not finding any over-heating issues, as well. So far it seems like this is going to be a solid purchase. I'll be testing battery life today to see how it holds up, but so far that is the only thing I am unsure of.
If the battery holds up, then the initial thought is that this was a very good purchase, and worth recommending to others.
FYI - Read the description. The seller is very transparent about it being locked to the Verizon network. This is not a problem for me, since that is the network I use. If not.....the seller has warned you!
OK UPDATE TO REVIEW FOR SHORT TERM USE: Started use on Tuesday, it's now Saturday.
1. The battery is deplorable. Period. At first I thought.....oh this is a used phone, maybe the seller gave me a something that wasn't tested, etc. I searched several reviews, though, and it seems someone at LG either had a really bad day, and put in a horrible battery on purpose, or a typo that meant to say 3500mah battery and accidentally put 3000mah battery. Maybe it was a decision everyone agreed on. IDK, but wow LG really screwed the pooch on this one! I have a smart watch attached, do some gaming with relatively heavy graphic use games (not hardcore - it's King's Raid and Summoner's War), I let a few services run in the background, and I message and check social media on a fairly regular basis. With my use I can get through a workday ( I don't do very much gaming at work), but I am looking for a charger the moment I get home. Again, I don't think this is the seller's problem, this is squarely on LG, and they messed up! This is supposed to be a flagship, or very near flagship, level of phone =/
2. Overall use (other than battery life) has been very good. No hiccups at all. No frozen screen, no need to have to power cycle for some weird reason. I've seen on another LG phone that they have a mode for gaming that lowers screen brightness and puts the phone almost in a semi-standby mode to allow the game to run. I like this feature, and with as horrible as the battery is, it is a must!
Thoughts after a few days use - Very good quality phone, the exception being the battery. If you have easy and regular access to chargers at home and work, then maybe the battery might affect you much. The build quality of the rest of the phone is very good. IMO, it is a very good looking phone, if that is something you look for. If the battery was better, this would be a top notch phone.
I am going to keep the phone, but I am currently looking for one of those battery cases that has a battery built into the case itself.
UPDATE TO INITIAL REVIEW 11/0219:
Ok, so I've had it for a few months now. Battery is still iffy, but I changed screen brightness to 70% and no longer have to worry so much. The trade off is it's just about impossible to see the screen outside in full sunlight. Still a phone worth having, with the drawback of the battery. Still worth the buy after long time use.
