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 Galaxy S4 I545 is a 2013 Verizon LTE phone whose voice service relied on CDMA, which Verizon retired at the end of 2022; its GSM side relied on 2G and 3G networks that AT&T and T-Mobile have since shut down (T-Mobile 2G ended August 3, 2026). It is no longer a certified device on US carriers. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to live GSM or UMTS markets, collectors, film and TV props, Wi-Fi-only use, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-phone shops stocking a graded 2013 Galaxy S flagship.
- Film, TV, and photo prop buyers who need period-correct Android handsets.
- Export to markets where GSM or UMTS service is still live and the global-roaming radios can register.
- Repair shops and parts dealers sourcing AMOLED displays, batteries, and housings for the S4 base.
