Samsung Galaxy J5 J500F Dual SIM 4G Gold, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Gold is the finish on this factory refurbished Samsung Galaxy J5 J500F Dual-sim 4G, GSM unlocked, with storage confirmed per lot. Gold Samsungs move faster than black in Latin American, Middle Eastern, and South Asian retail, so a dealer building a refurbished export lot usually gives this color a larger share than the others.
The 2015 Galaxy J5, model SM-J500F in its dual-SIM form, was the phone that gave Samsung's budget J line a Super AMOLED screen: a 5.0-inch HD panel, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core chip with 1.5 GB of RAM, a microSD slot, a 13 MP f/1.9 rear camera, a 5 MP front camera with its own LED flash, a removable 2,600 mAh battery, and 4G LTE, shipping on Android 5.1. It is an international variant built for export markets.
TG Wireless lists it factory refurbished, reconditioned to close-to-new working order, for exporters, overseas prepaid dealers, and buyers who want a dual-SIM Samsung with a good screen at a used-phone price.

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. Storage capacity is not stated in the listing; confirm with your account manager.
Network and compatibility
The J500F is a 4G LTE phone, so the 2022 US 3G shutdown and the August 2026 T-Mobile 2G shutdown do not retire it, but it is an international dual-SIM variant whose LTE bands and VoLTE profiles are aimed at Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa rather than US carriers. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Confirm band fit and VoLTE acceptance with the destination carrier before ordering volume; it is not a US activation phone.
Resale fit
- Export to Latin America, Africa, and Asia where a refurbished dual-SIM Samsung with an AMOLED screen sells below the price of new entry phones.
- Overseas prepaid counters that keep a refurbished Samsung tier under their new stock.
- Repair shops and refurbishers who want tested J5 units for resale or as donors for the removable-battery J5 platform.
