Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom C101 8GB White QX, New, GSM unlocked
This Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom SM-C101 is the 8GB White QX listing, new and GSM unlocked. A boxed, unused S4 Zoom is a collector-shop item first, because the model was built for one season and new stock has not been common for years; exporters to UMTS markets take it as a camera-phone that still has a 3G network to use.
The Galaxy S4 Zoom SM-C101 is Samsung's 2013 attempt to fold a compact camera into a phone: a 16 MP sensor behind a 10x optical zoom lens with optical stabilization and a xenon flash, a physical zoom ring and shutter key, and a tripod mount, on the body of a Galaxy S4 Mini with a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED screen, a dual-core 1.5 GHz Exynos, 1.5 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage, and a microSD slot. The C101 is the 3G HSPA+ version; the LTE model was the C105. TG Wireless sells it to exporters and camera-counter resellers in GSM markets, to collectors who want the oddest Galaxy of its year, and to buyers who use it as a Wi-Fi camera.

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 SM-C101 is a 2G GSM and 3G HSPA+ phone with no LTE and no VoLTE, so it receives no voice or data service on US carriers: the US 3G networks closed in 2022 and T-Mobile's 2G GSM shut down on August 3, 2026. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Its realistic uses are export to markets where GSM and UMTS are still live, Wi-Fi-only camera work, and collector or prop demand. Check UMTS band support against the destination network before ordering volume.
Resale fit
- Export to GSM and UMTS markets, where a phone with a real optical zoom still finds buyers at camera counters.
- Collector and enthusiast shops, since the S4 Zoom was a one-off design Samsung did not repeat after the K Zoom.
- Wi-Fi-only use as a compact connected camera for product photography, inspections, or prop work.
