While the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is almost two years old and is now being overshadowed by the Galaxy Note 4 and the more recent Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, it is still a great device for Samsung lovers. The Galaxy Note 3 for the Verizon network is now up for sale at eBay for only $279.95.
The Galaxy Note 3, which was launched by Samsung in September 2013 alongside the company's Galaxy Gear smartwatch, received massive demand upon its release.
The device features a 5.7-inch screen with a full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, a 13MP rear-facing camera, the Snapdragon 800 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage with expandable memory through a microSD card slot up to 64GB, and a digital stylus. With these specifications, the device is still able to hold its own compared to more recent offerings.
eBay now offers the Verizon Galaxy Note 3 with a special price, and it should also be noted that Verizon recently released the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Note 3 devices under its network. This means that customers that purchase the Verizon Galaxy Note 3 will also be able to enjoy the features of the latest version of Google's mobile operating system.
However, customers looking to take advantage of the gadget sale should keep in mind that the Galaxy Note 3 devices being sold through this promotion are classified as B+ stock items, which eBay has defined as refurbished devices. This means that while the Galaxy Note 3 devices being sold are in good cosmetic condition, they could have some minor scratches and scrapes as they have previously been used.
Samsung no longer manufactures Galaxy Note 3 devices, as its successor has already been released. This means that it is not possible to acquire factory-fresh Galaxy Note 3 devices anymore, and acquiring refurbished devices could be the only way to acquire the Galaxy Note 3.
Samsung mobile phone news website SamMobile recommends purchasing these Verizon Galaxy Note 3 devices up for sale to customers who are having problems with their current smartphones but need to finish a contract signed with Verizon for carrier services; customers who are looking to start a contract with Verizon; or previous Verizon customers who are looking to try a Samsung Note device after perhaps trying one from the company's Galaxy S series.
Customers thinking about acquiring the Verizon Galaxy Note 3 through the eBay sale do not have much time to think, though, since there is only a limited quantity of the devices available.
