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
This Xperia PLAY is the Verizon CDMA version. Verizon retired its CDMA network on December 31, 2022, and the phone has no LTE, no VoLTE, and no GSM radio, so it cannot get cellular service from Verizon, Page Plus, or any other US carrier today, and it has no use on GSM networks abroad; see the network status line in the table. It still works fully on Wi-Fi as a gaming handheld and media device, which is how collectors and prop buyers use it.
Resale fit
- Collectors and retro-gaming resellers who want the only PlayStation-certified phone, with the game pad and preloaded titles.
- Wi-Fi-only use as an Android gaming handheld and emulator device.
- Prop departments wanting a 2011 slider phone with a distinctive game pad.
- Parts and display stock for shops servicing Xperia PLAY units.
