Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 Google Play Edition Blue 4G LTE, New, GSM unlocked
Brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 Google Play Edition in Blue, 4G LTE, the QX listing, GSM unlocked per the old heading. Note that the SKU reads BLK while the name says Blue; confirm the finish with your account manager. A sealed stock-Android S4 is a collector and enthusiast item, and developers who want an untouched unit for testing take it too.
The Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition was the 2013 I9505-based S4 sold through Google with stock Android instead of TouchWiz: the same 5-inch full HD Super AMOLED, 1.9 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB plus microSD, 13 MP camera, and removable 2,600 mAh battery, with LTE radios and a bootloader meant to be unlocked. Google updated it directly, and it is still the version Android enthusiasts look for. TG Wireless offers it to collector shops and enthusiast resellers, to developers and test labs that want a clean Android S4, and to exporters who can use an unlocked LTE Galaxy S4 in GSM markets.

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 I9505 platform is a 4G LTE phone, so the US 3G and 2G retirements do not rule it out by themselves; whether a US carrier still accepts a 2013 Galaxy S4 for VoLTE calling varies by network, so confirm with the carrier before buying for US activations. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. The old listing describes these units as GSM unlocked, which also suits GSM markets abroad where the LTE bands match.
Resale fit
- Collector shops and Android enthusiast resellers who want the stock-Android Galaxy S4.
- Developers and test labs that need a clean, unlockable LTE Galaxy S4.
- Exporters placing unlocked LTE Samsungs in GSM markets.
