Samsung Captivate Glide I927 Galaxy-S II 3G Wi-Fi 1 GHz 8 GB, 4-inch Super AMOLED Gorilla Touchscreen Android, New, AT&T GSM unlocked
New and GSM unlocked, this Samsung Captivate Glide I927 Galaxy-s II is the 3G WI-FI slider with a 1ghz dual-core chip, 8GB of storage, and a 4" Super AMOLED Gorilla Glass touchscreen running Android, originally built for AT&T. Sealed Glides go to collector dealers and exporters serving HSPA markets, where an unlocked keyboard Android in the box is a rare find.
AT&T's Samsung Captivate Glide, model SGH-i927, arrived in November 2011 as the carrier's keyboard alternative to the Galaxy S II, which is why listings call it the Galaxy-S II Glide. It combines a 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 1 GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage, an 8-megapixel camera with 720p video, a front camera, and HSPA+ 21 Mbps data sold as 4G.
TG Wireless supplies the Glide to enthusiasts who still want a physical keyboard on Android, to repair shops servicing the installed base, to exporters with HSPA markets, and to prop houses that need an early-2010s AT&T smartphone.

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.
Network and compatibility
Despite AT&T's 4G branding, the Captivate Glide is an HSPA+ phone with no LTE or VoLTE, so it has no voice or data service on US carriers today: AT&T turned off 3G in February 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Unlocked units still work on UMTS/HSPA networks abroad, and all units run as Wi-Fi Android devices, parts donors, or props.
Resale fit
- Export lots for markets that still run UMTS/HSPA and want a keyboard Android phone.
- Enthusiasts and collectors who buy the Glide for its physical QWERTY keyboard.
- Repair shops stocking tested units and donors for the i927 installed base.
- Prop departments dressing 2011 to 2014 scenes with an AT&T smartphone.
