Samsung Reality U820 3G 3.2 Megapixel QWERTY Keyboard Touchscreen, Factory Refurbished, Verizon
Factory refurbished Samsung Reality U820 for Verizon and Page PLUS, the 3G, 3.2 Megapixel Qwerty keyboard touchscreen slider, reconditioned to close-to-new working order and tested. Color is not stated, so confirm with the account manager. Prop houses dressing 2010-era scenes and collectors of messaging phones are the buyers; it cannot be activated on a US carrier.
The Samsung Reality SCH-U820 was Verizon's 2010 social-messaging feature phone, combining a touchscreen with a horizontal slide-out QWERTY keyboard and Samsung's TouchWiz widgets. It carried a 3.2-megapixel camera and camcorder, Bluetooth, a microSD slot to 16 GB, VZ Navigator GPS and 3G EV-DO data for V CAST music and video, and it sold heavily to teen and prepaid Page Plus customers who wanted texting without a smartphone plan.
TG Wireless lists factory refurbished Reality units for collectors, prop houses and parts dealers. Verizon's CDMA network is gone, so the phone has no activation value, but its keyboard slider form factor remains popular for period sets.

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 Reality U820 is a CDMA phone built for Verizon and Page Plus, with no LTE and no VoLTE. Verizon retired CDMA on December 31, 2022, and Sprint's CDMA network, which also carried Cricket, Boost and Virgin traffic, closed the same year, so it gets no service on any US carrier today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Buyers use it for collections, props, display units, parts, and offline functions.

- Collectors and enthusiasts of US carrier feature phones and early Android.
