Description
Social Drive X500 4G 1700/2100 White, New, GSM unlocked
The white Social Drive X500 4G 1700/2100 ships brand new in the original retail box with the original battery, battery door, charger, data cable, stereo headset, and user guide. A complete kit in white suits exporters who sell boxed Android handsets to AWS-band markets, and buyers who want a presentable sealed unit for demo or Wi-Fi-only use.
Social sold the Drive X500 as an unlocked starter Android for the US prepaid channel around 2013, with internet settings preloaded for T-Mobile and the AWS-band MVNOs of that period (Simple Mobile, Ultra Mobile, Net10, Lyca and others). The hardware is modest: a dual-core 1.2 GHz chip, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of storage with microSD expansion, a 5 MP main camera, and Android 4.1. Because the phone tops out at UMTS/HSPA, it has no activation future in the United States. TG Wireless moves this model to exporters serving live-3G markets, to buyers who want boxed, complete-kit Android units for Wi-Fi-only tasks, and to prop and display accounts.

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. This lot is listed with the original retail box, battery, battery door, charger, data cable, stereo headset, and user guide.
Network and compatibility
The Social Drive X500 is a 2G/3G handset. Its 1700/2100 MHz AWS data band was built for T-Mobile and its MVNOs, but all US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile retired 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it does not register on a US network today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets with live GSM/UMTS service, Wi-Fi-only Android use, display units, and parts.
Resale fit
- Export lots for markets where GSM and UMTS service remains live, especially AWS-band networks.
- Wi-Fi-only Android devices for kiosks, demo tables, and low-cost offline use.
- Parts, battery, and display stock for repair shops that still service this chassis.
- Film, TV, and photo prop houses that need a generic black-slab Android of the 2013 era.
