Samsung S5230 La Fleur Garnet Red 3 MP Touchscreen, New, GSM unlocked
Brand new Samsung S5230 La-fleur in Garnet Red, the 3mp touchscreen Star with the floral La Fleur pattern, GSM unlocked. The La Fleur editions were produced in smaller runs than the plain Star, so collector shops and exporters serving markets where this phone was popular buy new garnet units for the design as much as the phone.
The Samsung S5230, sold as the Star or Tocco Lite, was Samsung's 2009 entry touchscreen phone and one of its best sellers of the period: a 3.0-inch WQVGA 262k-color resistive touchscreen with the TouchWiz widget interface, a 3 MP camera with Smile Shot, an MP3 player with FM radio and RDS, a full browser, and a slim 104 x 53 x 11.9 mm body. The La Fleur edition carries a floral pattern on the garnet red finish. It is a 2G GSM phone with no 3G.
TG Wireless offers it new and boxed to exporters who sell touchscreen feature phones into markets with live GSM service, to collector shops that want the La Fleur design, and to prop buyers.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The S5230 is a quad-band 2G GSM phone with EDGE data and no 3G or LTE. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so this phone gets no service on a US carrier today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets where GSM service is still live, collectors, film and TV props, and offline use of the music player and camera.
Resale fit
- Export lots for markets with live 2G GSM service where a boxed Samsung touchscreen phone still sells.
- Collector shops and enthusiasts who want the La Fleur floral edition of the Samsung Star.
- Film and TV prop houses that need period-correct 2009 touchscreen phones.
