Description
LG Optimus G Pro E980 4G LTE 32 GB, Factory Refurbished, AT&T variant
Factory refurbished and tested and graded by TG before it ships, this LG Optimus G Pro E980 4G LTE is the 32 GB AT&T handset without a color stated in the listing, so the account manager assigns color at order time. Refurbishers and parts dealers who need a quantity of working E980 boards, batteries, and screens buy this one regardless of color.
The LG Optimus G Pro E980 is AT&T's 2013 version of LG's first big-screen flagship: a 5.5-inch 1080p IPS display at 400 ppi, a 1.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 with 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage plus a microSD slot, a 13-megapixel rear camera with 1080p dual recording, a 2.1-megapixel front camera, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, an IR blaster for QuickRemote, and a 3,140 mAh removable battery. It shipped on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
Dealers take the E980 from TG Wireless in new, carrier-return, and graded form for marketplace resale, export to LTE markets that match its AT&T bands, and parts, since the large removable battery and screen assembly are still requested.

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 LG Optimus G Pro E980 is an early 4G LTE phone from before carriers required VoLTE for voice. Its calls ran over the 3G network that US carriers retired in 2022, and phones of this generation were generally never whitelisted for VoLTE, so expect no US voice service and treat data-only registration as unconfirmed. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export markets where its bands are live, Wi-Fi use, collectors, props, and parts. It carries the AT&T band set.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where the AT&T-band LTE and UMTS frequencies are live and a 5.5-inch 1080p phone sells on screen size.
- Marketplace sellers who list graded 2013 flagships with a removable battery for enthusiasts and secondary users.
- Repair shops that stock donor units for the E980 battery, screen assembly, and housings.
- Wi-Fi-only deployments such as media players, kiosks, and remote controls using the IR blaster.
