LG Google Nexus 5 D820 16 GB Black 4G LTE, Factory Refurbished, unlocked
Factory refurbished LG Google Nexus 5 D820 in Black, 16 GB per the SKU, 4G LTE, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and tested. Black is the classic Nexus 5 finish, and refurbished units are what developers and training programs buy when they need a dozen identical stock Android devices for Wi-Fi and data use.
The LG Google Nexus 5, model D820, is the North American version of Google's October 2013 Nexus phone: a 5-inch 1080p IPS display at 445 ppi, the Snapdragon 800, 2 GB of RAM, 16 or 32 GB of storage, an 8 MP camera with optical image stabilization and HDR+, a 1.3 MP front camera, 4G LTE, NFC, wireless charging, and Android 4.4 KitKat as shipped, the first phone to run it. It was sold unlocked through the Google Play store and updated through Android 6.0.
TG Wireless offers the Nexus 5 factory refurbished to developers and testers who want a classic stock Android device, to collectors, and to export dealers in markets covered by its LTE bands.

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 Nexus 5 D820 is a 4G LTE phone with bands for AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint, but it predates carrier VoLTE certification and most US carriers do not provision VoLTE for it, so after the 2022 3G shutdown it generally cannot place calls on a US line even though LTE data may connect; confirm with the carrier before buying for activation. Lock state is not stated in the name; Google sold the D820 unlocked only, and the source heading says GSM unlocked. See the network status line in the table.
Resale fit
- Developers, testers, and training programs that want a classic stock Android reference device.
- Collectors of Nexus hardware, where the Nexus 5 is the most requested model.
- Export dealers in markets with live LTE on bands 1, 2, 4, 5, or 17 and VoLTE rules that accept older phones.
- Parts buyers sourcing 5-inch IPS panels and OIS camera modules.
