Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 Google Play Edition Blue 4G LTE GSM, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Here the Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 Google Play Edition comes in Blue as the 4G LTE GSM listing, Factory Refurbished: reconditioned to close-to-new working order and tested, GSM unlocked per the old heading. Enthusiast resellers and export dealers who want the stock-Android S4 at a working-phone price rather than a sealed-box price take this lot.
The Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition was the 2013 I9505-based S4 sold through Google with stock Android instead of TouchWiz: the same 5-inch full HD Super AMOLED, 1.9 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB plus microSD, 13 MP camera, and removable 2,600 mAh battery, with LTE radios and a bootloader meant to be unlocked. Google updated it directly, and it is still the version Android enthusiasts look for. TG Wireless offers it to collector shops and enthusiast resellers, to developers and test labs that want a clean Android S4, and to exporters who can use an unlocked LTE Galaxy S4 in GSM markets.

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 I9505 platform is a 4G LTE phone, so the US 3G and 2G retirements do not rule it out by themselves; whether a US carrier still accepts a 2013 Galaxy S4 for VoLTE calling varies by network, so confirm with the carrier before buying for US activations. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. The old listing describes these units as GSM unlocked, which also suits GSM markets abroad where the LTE bands match.
Resale fit
- Collector shops and Android enthusiast resellers who want the stock-Android Galaxy S4.
- Developers and test labs that need a clean, unlockable LTE Galaxy S4.
- Exporters placing unlocked LTE Samsungs in GSM markets.
