Samsung Galaxy J2 Core J260FD 8 GB Gold, New, GSM unlocked
Gold Samsung Galaxy J2 Core J260FD, new and boxed: 8 GB storage, dual SIM, 4G LTE, GSM unlocked. Gold is the strongest color for this model in Latin American, Middle Eastern, and South Asian retail, where a gold Samsung at the entry price is the phone customers ask for by name, so export dealers often weight their J2 Core orders toward this SKU.
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.
