. Unlike refurbished phones, which have been repaired, open-box phones are typically customer returns that have had their packaging opened but have experienced little to no use. 
What "open box" means
Customer return: The most common reason for an open-box phone is that a customer bought it, opened the packaging, and returned it shortly after. The reason for the return can be as simple as a change of mind, so the phone itself may be in perfect condition.
  • Display model: The phone may have been used as a store demo or floor model to show its features to customers.
  • Damaged packaging: A phone can also be sold as open-box if its outer packaging was damaged during shipping, even if the device inside was completely unharmed. 
Condition and warranty
The condition of an open-box Samsung phone will vary depending on the retailer and the specific circumstances of its return. It is important to inspect the phone carefully or read the product description closely before purchasing. 
Possible condition issues
Missing accessories: It's common for an open-box phone to be missing accessories like headphones, a charger, or the original manual. Some retailers will explicitly state this in the product description.
  • Cosmetic imperfections: Though many open-box phones are in like-new condition, some might have minor blemishes like a small scratch or dent from being handled.
  • Shorter or limited warranty: While some open-box items still qualify for the manufacturer's warranty, some retailers may offer only a limited store warranty. This is different from the Certified Re-Newed program by Samsung, which typically includes a one-year warranty and new parts like the battery and screen. 
Buying tips
To ensure you get a good-quality phone when buying open-box, consider the following advice:
  • Buy from a reputable seller: Stick with trusted retailers and marketplaces like Best Buy or Amazon, which have transparent grading systems for their open-box inventory.
  • Check the product listing thoroughly: Read the full product description for any details on the phone's condition, included accessories, and warranty coverage.
  • Review return policies: Make sure the retailer offers a clear return policy for open-box electronics, as some may be more restrictive than for new items.
  • Consider Certified Re-Newed: If peace of mind is a priority, you may want to opt for a Certified Re-Newed Samsung phone instead of a standard open-box model. These are typically restored to a like-new state, include a fresh battery, and come with a longer, more reliable warranty.
