LG G5 32 GB Silver 4G LTE, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
This listing covers the silver LG G5, 32 GB, 4G LTE, GSM unlocked, as factory refurbished stock. Reconditioned silver units are the standard pick for export buyers filling GSM-market orders and for repair shops that keep working G5 donors on the bench.
The LG G5 is LG's 2016 flagship and the only mainstream phone built around a slide-out battery module: pull the chin off and the 2,800 mAh cell comes with it. It pairs a 5.3-inch Quad HD IPS screen with an always-on clock, the Snapdragon 820, 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage with microSD expansion, a USB-C port, and the twin rear cameras (16 MP standard plus an 8 MP wide-angle) that LG carried into later models.
Dealers buy the G5 from TG Wireless as a full-metal, removable-battery Android for marketplace resale, for export customers who want a Quad HD screen at a low ticket, and for repair shops that need tested donor units.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The G5 is a 4G LTE phone with VoLTE on carrier-certified variants, so the US 2G and 3G retirements do not take it out of service by themselves. Each listing here is GSM unlocked; see the network status line in the table. The source spec lists LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 20, 28, 38, and 40, which covers the main AT&T and T-Mobile bands, but whether a given variant is accepted for voice on a US carrier depends on its VoLTE whitelisting, so confirm with the carrier before buying for activations.
Resale fit
- Marketplace and storefront resale of a metal, removable-battery Android flagship at a budget ticket.
- Export distributors serving GSM markets where a Quad HD screen and expandable storage still sell.
- Repair shops that stock tested G5 donors for screens, batteries, and camera modules.
- Collector and enthusiast buyers interested in LG's modular design in new or refurbished condition.
