Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 I8160 Black, New, GSM unlocked
Brand new in the box, this Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 I8160 in Black is listed as 4G but is a GSM unlocked 3G Android from 2012 with a 3.8-inch screen and 5 MP camera. Export dealers serving GSM/UMTS markets and collectors who want a sealed black Ace 2 are the buyers; it has no US carrier use.
The Galaxy Ace 2, model GT-I8160, is Samsung's 2012 entry Android: a 3.8-inch WVGA display at 480 x 800, a dual-core 800 MHz NovaThor processor, 768 MB of RAM, 4 GB of storage with a microSD slot, a 5 MP camera with flash and 720p video, a VGA front camera, and a 1,500 mAh removable battery. It shipped on Android 2.3 and was updated to Android 4.1.2, and its radio is GSM with 3G HSPA only.

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 Ace 2 is a 2G/3G phone with no LTE, despite the '4G' in the listing name. A phone without LTE and VoLTE gets no service on US carriers today: the three national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026. Realistic uses are export to regions where GSM and UMTS service is still live, Wi-Fi and offline use, collectors, film and TV props, and parts or display units. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table.
Resale fit
- Export to markets in Africa, Latin America, and Asia where 2G/3G networks still operate.
- Collectors and prop houses that want a boxed 2012 Samsung.
- Parts and display stock for repair shops.
