Samsung Galaxy A8S G8870 128 GB Gradation Black, New, GSM unlocked
Offered new, the Samsung Galaxy A8S G8870 in Gradation Black is the 128 GB, 4G GSM unlocked unit in the two-tone finish that fades across the glass back. Collectors of Chinese-market Samsungs and marketplace sellers who feature unusual colorways pick this finish over the plain black A8s.
The Galaxy A8s, model SM-G8870, is the December 2018 Chinese-market Samsung that introduced the Infinity-O display: a 6.4-inch Full HD+ LCD with a hole-punch front camera and a 19.5:9 ratio. It runs an octa-core Snapdragon 710 with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage plus microSD, carries a 24 MP main, 10 MP telephoto, and 5 MP depth rear camera, a 24 MP front camera, a 3,400 mAh battery, USB-C, a rear fingerprint reader, and no headphone jack. It shipped on Android 8.1 in Black, Blue, Pink, and Gradation Black.
TG Wireless offers the A8s to exporters and marketplace sellers who want the first hole-punch Samsung in colors and a variant the US market never carried.

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 Galaxy A8s is a 4G LTE phone, so it is not retired by the 2022 US 3G shutdowns or T-Mobile's 2G closure on August 3, 2026, but it was built for Chinese carriers: its LTE bands only partly overlap US networks and VoLTE on US carriers is not assured, so treat domestic activation as unconfirmed and check with the carrier. Export buyers should match the G8870 band list to their home networks. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Dual nano-SIM tray.
Resale fit
- Export to Asian and Middle Eastern markets where the G8870 bands fit local LTE networks.
- Marketplace sellers who feature the first Infinity-O Samsung and its gradient finishes.
- Collectors and reviewers of Chinese-market Samsung variants.
