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-T285 is an LTE tablet sold GSM unlocked; see the network status line in the table. Its listed LTE bands 2, 4, 5, and 17 cover AT&T and T-Mobile data in most of the US, but band 12, 66, and 71 are absent, so rural T-Mobile coverage is limited, and carrier acceptance of an unlocked international tablet depends on the carrier's device policy. The 2022 3G retirements do not affect LTE data use. On Wi-Fi the tablet works anywhere, within the limits of Android 5.1.
