Condition: Carrier Returns
Carrier return units come back through a carrier channel and are tested and graded by TG on receipt. Expect a mix of open-box and lightly handled units; cosmetics and packaging are confirmed per lot by your account manager.
Network and compatibility
The Lucid VS840 is an early Verizon 4G LTE phone that still carried its voice calls over CDMA, and it was never enabled for VoLTE. Verizon retired CDMA on December 31, 2022, so the handset gets no US voice service today, and LTE data registration without VoLTE should be treated as unconfirmed. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are collectors, film and TV props, parts and display units, and Wi-Fi-only use on its Android build.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops that stock working early Verizon LTE Androids with a known model number.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need period-correct Verizon-branded smartphones.
- Parts and display units for repair shops, store fixtures, and insurance replacement of screens and housings.
