Samsung Galaxy C5 C5000 32GB Silver, New, Unlocked, China Version US
New Samsung Galaxy C5 C5000 (SM-C5000) in Silver with 32GB of storage, unlocked, listed as the China Version US lot. A 6.7 mm dual-SIM Super AMOLED Samsung with 4 GB of RAM is a strong export unit for dealers shipping to Asian markets on LTE bands 1, 3, and 40, and a curiosity for US marketplace sellers. Ships with battery, charger, USB cable, and user guide as listed.
The Samsung Galaxy C5, model SM-C5000, is a May 2016 metal-unibody Android phone built for the Chinese market and never sold in the US. It carries a 5.2-inch 1080 x 1920 Super AMOLED screen at 424 ppi, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 with 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, a 16 MP f/1.9 rear camera with dual-LED flash, an 8 MP front camera, a fingerprint reader, NFC, FM radio, and dual nano-SIM standby, all in a 6.7 mm body at 143 g. TG Wireless lists it for exporters supplying Asian and other markets that use its LTE bands, and for marketplace sellers who want a thin dual-SIM Samsung that was never on US shelves.

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. The source package list describes the unit as Dark Gray while the listing says Silver; confirm the finish with your account manager before ordering for a color-specific customer.
Network and compatibility
The Galaxy C5 SM-C5000 is unlocked (see the network status line in the table), but its LTE bands 1/3/7/8/38/39/40/41 are the China and Asia set; it has none of the bands AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon use for LTE. Its US fallback would be 2G GSM or 3G UMTS, and those networks are gone: 3G closed in 2022 and T-Mobile's 2G GSM network ended on August 3, 2026. Treat it as an export-only phone for China, Southeast Asia, India, and other band-1/3/40 markets, or as a Wi-Fi device.
Resale fit
- Export to China, Southeast Asia, India, and other markets that run LTE on bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 40, or 41.
- Marketplace sellers serving collectors and importers who want a thin dual-SIM Samsung not sold in the US.
- Wi-Fi-only use as a media, test, or display device.
