How to check first activation date

[JoshuaVee]

Or things like battery usage hours, etc. I'm a second hand buyer and won with a low bid on eBay saying: 'never used' 🤣 want to know if there is any way to check about that, thanks 🙏

The only thing you can do I suppose is check how many battery cycle have done (if they didn't change the battery)and you will have an idea of how "never used is " the device

I can't confirm this on my Flip6, as I'm OS at the moment, and haven't made calls with it yet.

However, on my Korean S23FE, if I go into Settings -> About Phone -> Status Information, there is an entry there called "Date of first call made"

You could try looking to see if that's visible on the device your thinking to buy.

Thank you Dolgogi, however didn't find this option on my au samsung🤣

Worth a try, but yeah, because I'm travelling with my Australian Flip6 and haven't made calls yet, so wasn't sure if that option might show on AU models.
