Samsung Galaxy S III I535 Blue 4G LTE, A Grade, Verizon / PagePlus
Here the Samsung Galaxy S III I535 comes in Pebble Blue, the Verizon / PagePlus 4G LTE model, sold as Carrier Returns A-stock: returned through the carrier channel, tested, and graded A. Blue was the Galaxy S III launch color, so collectors and prop buyers ask for it first, and the lot works for export where a distinctive Samsung color helps a tested unit sell.
The Samsung Galaxy S III I535 is Verizon's 2012 version of the Galaxy S III, the model that put Samsung ahead of every other Android maker that year. It has a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display, a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor with 2 GB of RAM, an 8 MP camera, NFC for S Beam, Wi-Fi Direct, and a removable battery, running Verizon 4G LTE with CDMA fallback. The I535 also works on PagePlus and other Verizon-network resellers.
TG Wireless offers the I535 as carrier returns and factory refurbished stock to exporters, collector and prop buyers, repair shops that need Galaxy S III parts, and Wi-Fi only users; it is not a phone for US activations today.

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.
Network and compatibility
The I535 is a Verizon LTE phone with CDMA fallback and no VoLTE. Verizon retired CDMA on December 31, 2022 and now requires VoLTE for calls, so the I535 no longer gets voice service on Verizon or PagePlus, and the other US carriers also require VoLTE. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets where UMTS or compatible LTE is live, Wi-Fi only operation, collectors, props, and parts.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where UMTS or compatible LTE service remains live and a tested 4.8-inch Samsung sells at an entry price.
- Parts and donor units for Galaxy S III repairs, with the HD Super AMOLED panel the main draw.
- Collector shops, enthusiasts, and prop houses that want the Verizon Galaxy S III in black, blue, or white.
- Wi-Fi only use for media players, testing devices, and display demos.
