Samsung Galaxy Nexus I515 32 GB, Factory Refurbished, Verizon
Here the Samsung Galaxy Nexus I515 is offered factory refurbished as the Verizon 4G LTE model, with 32 GB of storage, listed for Verizon and Pageplus LTE, though neither network can activate it since Verizon's CDMA shutdown. Collectors, Android enthusiasts, prop houses, and developers who want the original Ice Cream Sandwich Nexus as a Wi-Fi or display device are the buyers for this lot.
The Galaxy Nexus for Verizon, model SCH-I515, is the 2011 Google reference phone that launched Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich: a 4.65-inch 720p HD Super AMOLED Contour display with curved glass, a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor with 1 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, a 5 MP rear camera with zero shutter lag and 1080p video, a 1.3 MP front camera, NFC with Android Beam, and a removable battery. It is a CDMA phone with Verizon LTE for data and no VoLTE.
TG Wireless lists factory refurbished units for collectors and Android enthusiasts who want the first ICS Nexus, for prop houses, and for developers and display buyers who need a Wi-Fi-capable period device.

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.
Network and compatibility
The SCH-I515 is a Verizon CDMA phone with LTE for data only and no VoLTE; see the network status line in the table. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and this model cannot place calls over LTE, so it gets no voice service on any US carrier and no usable data activation. It has no GSM radio, so it is not an export candidate. Realistic uses are collectors and Android enthusiasts, film and TV props, developer and display units, and Wi-Fi-only use.
Resale fit
- Collectors and Android enthusiasts who want the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, the phone that launched Android 4.0.
- Prop houses and set decorators who need a period-correct 2011 Verizon smartphone.
- Developers, museums, and display buyers who want a Wi-Fi-capable Nexus reference device.
