Care+ S24 Ultra

My refurbished S24 Ultra weighs 238gr instead of the correct 232gr manufacturers weight. Weird right? Does anyone know why?

You might have to recalibrate your scales.

Nah, I weighed both phones several times

Maybe screen protector and other plastic foil covering the phone , sim inserted, and being refurbished they used new tapes and glues so it could be it but at the same time as new phones no one weight the same as others so I wouldn't stress about it if I was you . Mine is just a suggestion

No extra bits or bobs

Being refurbished its OK being more or less in weight due to new sealing glue and tapes and battery its really normal have weight discrepancies between 2 new phone from the same shops . At the end. Isn't 50g difference its probably barely 5 grams . Plus keep in mind scales excluded high precision one all other which weigh gram by gram tend to be wrong, I would be more worried about the weight of the coins we have in our pocket due to high counterfeits on coins

True, but it is still a large difference if the same materials are used and quality workmanship is applied.
Also, the refurbished phones' small upper rear lens has a completely different appearance to the original phone. It's a $2800 au phone. I would expect the lenses to appear the same.

A refurbished for hiw good it can be done the job it can't be like new ,the fact your refurbished have a different lens then should make you question where you bought it and from who, secondly 2800$ for a refurbished phone seems exaggerated

The refurbished phone has been supplier through Samsung care+
I simply pay a $229 fee to have a refurbished or comparable phone swapped with my original damaged phone, which has a cracked screen. To be honest, I was surprised how easily my screen cracked compared to my previous S23 Ultra and S21 Ultra phones. The $2800 price tag is the cost of my S24 Ultra 1 Tb hard drive that is being replaced by Samsung care+
