Samsung Google Nexus S I9020 3G Wi-Fi 1GHz 16 GB NFC Android Touchscreen, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Factory refurbished and GSM unlocked, this Samsung Google Nexus S I9020 is the 3G, Wi-Fi, 1 GHz, 16 GB, NFC Android touchscreen phone, reconditioned to close-to-new working order; no color is stated. Developers and collectors who want a working unlocked Nexus S without paying for sealed stock, and exporters in UMTS markets, are the buyers.
The Nexus S, model GT-I9020, is the 2010 Google phone built by Samsung and the first handset to ship with Android 2.3 Gingerbread: a 4-inch 800 x 480 Super AMOLED contour display with a gently curved glass front, a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor, 512 MB of RAM, 16 GB of storage, a 5 MP camera with a VGA front camera, NFC, and a 1,500 mAh removable battery. It is a quad-band GSM and tri-band 3G HSPA phone with no LTE, updatable to Android 4.1.
TG Wireless supplies the I9020 as factory-refurbished stock to collectors and developers who want an early stock-Android reference phone, to prop houses, and to exporters in markets where UMTS service is still live.

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 GT-I9020 is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS phone with no LTE and no VoLTE. US 3G networks closed in 2022 and T-Mobile's 2G GSM network closed on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US carrier service today. It is GSM unlocked; see the network status line in the table. The 3G band set differs between the I9020T (AWS) and I9020A (850/1900) sub-variants, so check it against the target market; Wi-Fi works anywhere.
Resale fit
- Collectors and developers who want the first Gingerbread phone, unlocked.
- Prop houses dressing 2010 to 2012 scenes.
- Export to markets where UMTS service is still live on the unit's 3G bands.
