Managed to get my hands on one of these today! Found it open box but completely untouched with all factory wraps intact, for $320 (€300) and I am beyond belief!

I peeled the wrap off since it was peeling, but it still has plastic on the sides.

A few things I love about it are:

I booted it completely offline to keep it untouched. It's sitting on the launch December 17, 2021 factory build (BUL8 / One UI 4.0) and hasn't seen a single update since leaving the factory. Even the first-boot date was stuck on Friday, Dec 17.

It came with the original box and the untouched ring case still sealed from Christmas Eve 2021. The hardware is also spotless.

Definitely keeping this completely offline as a display piece. What do you guys think?

My 14 Pro makes a clicking sound when you press the upper left of the phone. This also happens with the cable bracket, on, and with the screen on. I have no idea as to why, since I was just replacing the battery..

You can see right through it and it leads in the main display screen area which FILLS it with dust down the crease!

This looks a lot like those stone chips on windshields, but with spider webs running out of it. I've read in multiple places on this subreddit that they are prone to randomly cracking.

​

It's the 14" AMOLED screen and I'm planning to buy another one after my insurance pays me. Should I not?

Has these very cool engravings and the screen is OLED indicated by sign under the display!

Seller wants $999 for it. He says "steal of a deal"

I got an S24 Ultra used and the S-Pen tip looks like this...
