Samsung Vibrant T959V 4" S-AMOLED Android, A Grade carrier returns, T-Mobile / SimpleMobile
Graded A Grade and listed as Carrier Returns A-Stock, this Samsung Vibrant T959V for T-Mobile / Simplemobile carries the 3G / 4G HSPA+ radio, WI-FI, 1ghz processor, 5-mp camera, 1GB internal memory, and 4" S-amoled HD Video screen of the Galaxy S 4G, lightly used and fully tested. A Grade units suit exporters to GSM and UMTS markets and repair shops that want clean donor panels.
The Samsung SGH-T959V, sold by T-Mobile in 2011 as the Galaxy S 4G and often called the Vibrant 4G, is the HSPA+ follow-up to the Vibrant: a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, 1 GHz Hummingbird processor, 5 megapixel camera with HD video plus a front camera for video chat, 1 GB of internal memory with a 16 GB microSD card included, Wi-Fi 802.11n with hotspot sharing, Bluetooth, GPS, and Android 2.2. Its HSPA+ radio was marketed as 4G with peak downloads of 21 Mbps, but it has no LTE.
TG Wireless sells the T959V to collectors of the Galaxy S line, prop departments, exporters serving GSM and UMTS markets, and repair shops that want donor AMOLED panels.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
Despite the 4G label, the T959V is a 2G GSM and 3G HSPA+ phone with no LTE, so it cannot get service on any US carrier: 3G was retired in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down 2G GSM on August 3, 2026. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Abroad, it works on surviving GSM and UMTS networks where the bands match, and Wi-Fi, GPS, camera, and media functions run without a SIM, so it remains usable as a Wi-Fi Android device.
Resale fit
- Collectors and enthusiasts of the Galaxy S line and T-Mobile's first HSPA+ phones.
- Film, TV, and theater props that need a 2011 Android touchscreen phone.
- Export to markets where GSM and UMTS service continues.
- Repair shops stocking donors for Super AMOLED panels and housings.
