Samsung Stratosphere I405 Galaxy 4G LTE Wi-Fi 5-megapixel 1 GHz Super AMOLED HD Video Touchscreen Android, Carrier Returns, Verizon
Samsung Stratosphere I405 Galaxy for Verizon, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, 5-megapixel HD video camera, 1ghz processor, Super AMOLED touchscreen and slide-out keyboard running Android, sold as carrier returns that TG tests and grades on receipt. Color is not stated. Parts dealers and prop houses that want working keyboard sliders by the lot are the buyers; no US carrier can activate it.
The Samsung Stratosphere SCH-I405 was Verizon's first LTE phone with a physical keyboard, launched in October 2011: a 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen over a five-row slide-out QWERTY, a 1 GHz single-core processor, a 5-megapixel camera with HD video, a front camera, Wi-Fi, GPS and Android 2.3 Gingerbread, with business-oriented security and connectivity features for Verizon's enterprise accounts.
TG Wireless lists the Stratosphere in three conditions for collectors of early LTE Android, prop houses and parts dealers. Verizon retired CDMA in 2022 and the phone has no VoLTE, so it is a Wi-Fi, display or donor device, not an activation phone.

Network and compatibility
The Stratosphere I405 is a Verizon LTE and CDMA phone from 2011 without VoLTE. Verizon retired CDMA on December 31, 2022, and this model cannot place calls over LTE, so it gets no voice, text or data service on Verizon, Page Plus or any other US carrier. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. It has no GSM radio for export use, which leaves Wi-Fi operation, collectors, props, display and parts.
Resale fit
- Collectors and enthusiasts of early LTE Android and keyboard sliders.
- Prop houses and set dressers for 2011 to 2013 scenes.
- Repair shops and parts dealers that need Stratosphere keyboards, screens and batteries.
- Wi-Fi-only use for kiosks, testing and media.
