Samsung Galaxy I5500 White Android 3G Wi-Fi 2-megapixel Touchscreen, New, GSM Unlocked
White is the finish of this new Samsung Galaxy I5500, the Android 3G WI-FI 2-megapixel touchscreen phone, GSM Unlocked. White units photograph cleanly, which is why prop departments and collector shops ask for them, and export dealers in markets with live GSM and UMTS service take white as the second color after black at the counter.
The Samsung Galaxy I5500, sold as the Galaxy 5, Galaxy Europa, and Galaxy 550 in different markets, is a 2010 entry Android phone from the Corby family: a 2.8-inch QVGA capacitive touchscreen, a 600 MHz processor, Android 2.1, a 2 megapixel camera, 3G HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and a microSD slot behind a rounded candy-bar body. It was one of the cheapest ways to get Android in its year and sold in volume through European and Latin American prepaid channels.
TG Wireless offers the I5500 new and GSM unlocked to exporters serving live GSM and UMTS markets, to collectors of early Android hardware, and to prop and display buyers who need a period-correct small 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
The Galaxy I5500 is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS phone with no LTE, so it has no voice or data service on any US carrier: the national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Unlocked units still register on live GSM and UMTS networks abroad, and the phone works offline and on Wi-Fi. Realistic uses are export, collectors, props, display, and parts.
Resale fit
- Export dealers supplying markets where 2G GSM or 3G UMTS prepaid service is still live.
- Collectors and enthusiasts who want a boxed early Android handset.
- Film, TV, and photo prop houses that need a period-correct 2010 smartphone.
- Repair shops and parts buyers who use new units as donors or display pieces.
