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 SM-T285 is an international LTE variant. Its LTE bands (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 40) are built for Europe, Asia, and Latin America; it lacks the US bands 2, 4, 12, 13, and 66, so US carrier data will be partial at best, and with US 3G retired in 2022 its 3G voice calling does not work here. See the network status line in the table for the lock state. Confirm band fit with the destination carrier before buying for cellular use; on Wi-Fi it works anywhere.
Resale fit
- Export dealers in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa where LTE bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, and 40 are in use.
- Fleet and field-service buyers who want a compact tablet with LTE for forms and scanning apps.
- Refurbishers and schools using it on Wi-Fi only.
