BLU C5 PLUS 16 GB Gradient Blue 3G, New, GSM unlocked
Gradient Blue is the signature finish of the BLU C5 PLUS, supplied here new and GSM unlocked with 16GB of storage and dual SIM slots on a 3G radio. The color-shift back makes it the version exporters pick for gift-season lots in Latin American 3G markets, and the 5.5-inch screen suits Wi-Fi program buyers who want a cheap tablet-like Android.
The BLU C5 Plus is a 2019 budget Android Go phone built around a 5.5-inch 18:9 HD+ IPS display. It runs Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition) on a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor with 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, expandable by microSDXC, and carries an 8 MP autofocus rear camera and an 8 MP front camera. The battery is a 2,200 mAh lithium-polymer pack. It is a dual SIM, 3G-only handset with no LTE, which limits it to export and offline uses today.
Exporters and distributors buy it from TG Wireless for GSM and UMTS markets where a large-screen Android at a rock-bottom price still sells, and program buyers use it as a Wi-Fi device.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The C5 Plus is a 3G UMTS phone on 850/900/1900/2100 with 2G GSM fallback and no LTE or VoLTE. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US cellular service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets where UMTS or GSM remains live, Wi-Fi-only deployments, and parts or display stock.
Resale fit
- Export distributors supplying Latin American, African, and Asian markets with live 3G service.
- Wi-Fi-only uses such as kiosks, hospitality, and youth or program phones where cellular service is not needed.
- Discount and marketplace sellers of new large-screen Androids for offline or export buyers.
