Description
Samsung Galaxy S5 16 GB Electric Blue 4G LTE, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Electric Blue is the finish on this Samsung Galaxy S5, 16 GB, 4G LTE, GSM Unlocked and Factory Refurbished: reconditioned to close-to-new working order and tested before it ships. Blue is the S5 color that photographs well for marketplace listings and gives prepaid counters an option beyond black and white at the same price tier.
Samsung's 2014 Galaxy S5 brought IP67 water resistance, a fingerprint reader, and a heart-rate sensor to the flagship line, around a 5.1-inch full HD Super AMOLED, a 2.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage with microSD, a 16 MP camera with 4K video, and a removable 2,800 mAh battery under the dimpled back cover. It was updated through Android 6.0 and remains one of the most widely recognized Samsung names. TG Wireless supplies the GSM unlocked S5 to prepaid and MVNO dealers where carriers still accept it, to exporters serving LTE markets, and to repair shops that want a common donor platform.

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 S5 is a 4G LTE phone, so the US 3G retirement in 2022 and the end of T-Mobile 2G on August 3, 2026 do not disqualify it on their own. The band list in the source (LTE 1/2/3/5/7/8/20) is the international set, which covers AT&T and T-Mobile only partly, and VoLTE acceptance for this model is decided carrier by carrier; confirm before buying for US activations. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table.
Resale fit
- Prepaid and MVNO dealers on GSM networks that still accept the Galaxy S5.
- Exporters supplying a recognized Samsung flagship to LTE markets in Latin America and Africa.
- Repair shops stocking S5 donor units for screens, boards, and batteries.
- Marketplace sellers who want a tested, refurbished S5 in a non-black color.
