Samsung Galaxy S5 16 GB Shimmery White 4G LTE, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Shimmery White Samsung Galaxy S5 handsets, 16 GB, 4G LTE, GSM Unlocked, supplied Factory Refurbished and tested to close-to-new working order. White is the S5 finish that hides fine scratches best, so it is the pick for marketplace sellers who photograph every unit and for repair shops that need white back covers and frames.
The Galaxy S5 was Samsung's 2014 flagship and its first with IP67 sealing, a fingerprint scanner, and a heart-rate monitor. Under the dimpled back cover sit a 5.1-inch full HD Super AMOLED, a 2.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage plus microSD, a 16 MP camera with 4K video, and a removable 2,800 mAh battery, with Android updated as far as 6.0. The phone sold in the tens of millions, so parts, cases, and buyer familiarity are all still in supply. TG Wireless accounts take the GSM unlocked S5 for prepaid counters, LTE export markets, and repair bench stock.

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.
- Repair shops stocking S5 donor units; white housings are the ones that run short first.
- Marketplace sellers who want a tested, refurbished S5 in white.
