Samsung Galaxy J2 Core J260FD 8 GB Blue, New, GSM unlocked
In blue, the new Samsung Galaxy J2 Core J260FD carries the same 8 GB of storage, dual SIM slots, 4G LTE, and GSM unlocked status as the rest of the family. Blue is the color that gives an overseas prepaid shelf some variety without a price change, so dealers assembling a mixed-color case for Latin America or Africa typically add it alongside black and gold.
The Galaxy J2 Core, model SM-J260F/DS (listed as J260FD), was Samsung's first Android Go phone, released in 2018. It runs Android 8.1 Oreo Go edition on a quad-core 1.4 GHz processor with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage, has a 5.0-inch qHD display, an 8 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front camera, dual SIM slots, and a removable 2,600 mAh battery. The Go software keeps it usable with limited memory.
Dealers buy it from TG Wireless as a new, boxed dual-SIM LTE Samsung at the entry price point for export, overseas prepaid, and institutional fleets that need a current-enough Android with Google services.

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 J2 Core is a 4G LTE phone, so the US 2G and 3G retirements do not take it off the air, but it is an international dual-SIM variant and VoLTE provisioning on US carriers depends on the carrier's device whitelist. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. The source lists LTE bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/17/28, which include the common US bands; confirm the band set and VoLTE support with the destination carrier before committing to volume.
Resale fit
- Export lots for Latin America, Africa, and Asia where a new dual-SIM Samsung on Android Go is the entry-level volume seller.
- Overseas prepaid counters that want a boxed Samsung with a removable battery and current Google apps.
- Institutional and NGO fleets that need a cheap Android with a microSD slot for a single field app.
