Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini Prime J106B/DS 8 GB Dual SIM, New, unlocked
Here the Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini prime 8GB J106B/DS Dual Sim Unlocked Phone is offered new and boxed: a 4.0-inch 3G-only dual-SIM Samsung with 8 GB of storage, no color stated in the listing. Exporters to 3G markets take it as a first-phone SKU, and institutional buyers use it as a cheap Wi-Fi Android device where cellular service is not needed.
The Galaxy J1 Mini Prime, model SM-J106B/DS, is Samsung's December 2016 pocket-size entry phone for dual-SIM markets: a 4.0-inch TFT display at 480 x 800, a Spreadtrum SC9830 quad-core 1.2 GHz chip with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage, a 5 MP camera with flash, a VGA front camera, and a removable 1,500 mAh battery on Android 5.1. The J106B/DS is the 3G version without LTE.
Exporters and overseas prepaid dealers buy it from TG Wireless as a new, boxed, very low-cost Samsung for first-phone customers and for markets where 3G service is still live.

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. Color is not stated in the listing; confirm the lot mix with your account manager.
Network and compatibility
The J106B/DS is a GSM and 3G HSPA phone with no LTE radio. Because US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, it gets no cellular service in the United States. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Where it does work is in export markets with live UMTS networks, and as a Wi-Fi Android device for kiosks, demos, and children's first phones without a SIM.
Resale fit
- Export to Latin America, Africa, and South Asia where 3G UMTS service continues and a 4-inch Samsung sells as a first phone.
- Overseas dual-SIM prepaid counters stocking the lowest-priced new Samsung available.
- Wi-Fi only buyers: kiosks, demo units, and app-testing devices.
