Description
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G N981U 128 GB Gray, A Grade, GSM/CDMA unlocked
Here the Galaxy Note 20 5G N981U comes in Gray, graded A Grade, GSM/CDMA unlocked for any US carrier. The name does not state storage; the US N981U was sold in 128 GB only. This listing carries a -CR SKU, so ask your account manager for the lot's sourcing and packaging detail before you order. Gray is the neutral choice for fleet refresh buyers who need one uniform color across a deployment.
The Galaxy Note 20 5G is Samsung's 2020 S Pen flagship in its standard size: a 6.7-inch flat Super AMOLED Plus screen, the Snapdragon 865+ in the US SM-N981U, 8 GB of RAM, a triple camera with a 64 MP telephoto and 8K video, and a Bluetooth stylus that docks inside the body. It shipped on Android 10 and took three platform upgrades through Android 13, so it still runs current apps and carrier features.
Resellers buy the Note 20 from TG Wireless because the Note line ended with this generation, and buyers who want a built-in pen now look to new-old-stock and graded units. It fits Knox-managed enterprise fleets, trade-in replacement programs, and marketplace resale to Note loyalists.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote. The SKU suffix on this listing is -CR; confirm the lot's packaging and accessory mix with your account manager.
Network and compatibility
The Galaxy Note 20 5G N981U is a 5G and 4G LTE phone with VoLTE, so the US 2G and 3G shutdowns do not affect it. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. The US N981U carries the LTE and 5G bands used by AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, and the GSM/CDMA unlocked label on these listings means the handset is open to all three. VoLTE provisioning and 5G access still depend on the carrier's acceptance of this exact variant, so confirm with the carrier before committing to volume.
Resale fit
- Enterprise and field-service fleets standardized on Samsung Knox that still want an S Pen device for signatures, forms, and notes.
- Trade-in and insurance replacement programs that need a consistent supply of one graded Note model.
- Marketplace and storefront resale to Note loyalists, since Samsung ended the Note line after this generation.
- Prepaid and MVNO dealers selling a 5G flagship-class handset below the current-model price point.
