Samsung Infuse 4G I997 Black QX 16 GB, New, AT&T variant
The black Samsung Infuse 4G I997, listed new as the 'Black QX' lot: AT&T's 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus Android with 16 GB storage and an 8 MP camera. Black is the Infuse's standard finish, which suits exporters filling GSM and UMTS orders and collectors who want the phone as it was sold. Lock state is not stated; confirm with your account manager.
The Samsung Infuse 4G, model SGH-I997, was AT&T's thinnest and largest Android phone when it launched in May 2011: a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen, a 1.2 GHz processor, Android 2.2 Froyo, an 8 MP camera with 720p HD video, a front camera, 16 GB of internal storage with a microSD slot, HDMI output over microUSB, and AT&T's HSPA+ data, which AT&T marketed as 4G.
Dealers buy the I997 from TG Wireless for export to markets with live GSM and UMTS service, for collector and prop use as a landmark early big-screen Samsung, and as a Wi-Fi media device or parts donor.

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
Despite the 4G name, the Infuse uses HSPA+ on 3G UMTS bands and has no LTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so the I997 gets no US service. Lock state varies by listing; see the network status line in the table and confirm with your account manager where it is not stated. Abroad, it works on live GSM and UMTS networks, and Wi-Fi, media, and HDMI output work anywhere.
Resale fit
- Export lots for markets where UMTS/HSPA service continues.
- Collector and prop buyers wanting the first 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus Samsung.
