    That headset probably wasn't purchased at clearance and resold, it's more likely that it came from a return or old stock palet purchased at auction.

    about that Samsung flip and the cover screen, I am kinda thinking it might simply have been disabled in the settings as that is something you can do. So the screen might not be broken and simply disabled ....... Settings -> Smart Assistance -> Smart cover -> Disable / Enable

    9:35 nobody noticed the 100% CPU usage when doing nothing? LOL

    Austin's victory lap on the OLED Nokia screen just made my day ๐Ÿ’ฏ

    Windows phone died faster than Austin's faith in Wish ๐Ÿ˜‚

    I remember the 2013 Droid series. My grandparents used to have these and I grew up with those phones. I still have them, but one of them went in the washer 6 years ago, the other one broke and the 3rd one I still have.

    I used to work for RIM which was the maker of blackberry , had to sign 2 NDAs back then while testing the firmware and components on the z10 up to the z3s , i also made countless of those classic blackberries everyones used to seeing lol

    Seeing the droid mini, a $100 verizon only smartphone in 2013, being refurbished for $54. Man I'm sorry but you got scammed.
  • the fact i had 2/3 of these phones sent me down the nostalgia route and makes me feel somewhat old
  • YOOOOO!!! I had that Lumia back in the day. I actually LOVED it. There was a rad feature on it where you could use the main camera and navigate from maps just by pulling up maps, going vertical, and then it would show you waypoints and distance between shops or restaurants nearby. I used that in Austin Texas during SXSW several times and it was super accurate.

    TBF though, anytime you buy refurbished, you roll the dice. Whether that be from Wish, Aliexpress, eBay, Amazon etc(when you buy from a bulk seller and not an individual seller who posts specific pictures for the item and lists anything wrong). The only real question is how they handles returns or refunds when you don't get what was laid out.

    I worked in hardware engineering on the BlackBerry Z10 (processor integration). That was a depressing time.

    THANKYOU FOR A SUNDAY UPLOAD.. my youtube was dry AF this morning.
  • @raedale6472
    I've bought 3 laptops and a iPad from wish and they were all good. I did learn to make sure to check out the seller, make sure they were verified and they were a USA shipper ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ
  • @braddl9442
    A lot of places will simply take overstock or warehouse items and sell them as refurbish to get rid of them. Lots of liquidation companies will just sell stuff they got from buying out a warehouse as a refurb to avoid issues with warranty etc on older stuff.

    "Not a terrible CPU", CPU pinned at 100% lmao. Love it.
  • @Madblaster6
    3:30 It was not as good as today's OLED. There was inconstancies and you didn't get pure black.
  • @ryanmcevoy2279
    I still have a whole collection of my BlackBerry phones, and just yesterday was reminiscing about Time Shift and how ahead of its time that was. Creating a perfect picture that never existed, was amazing.
