SM-S918U is the US carrier model (the factory-unlocked variant is SM-S918U1). Locked units require an active T-Mobile line until the carrier releases the lock. This lot is locked to T-Mobile. Confirm activation eligibility and network requirements with that carrier before deployment.
Enterprise Deployment and Management
Every unit in this lot runs Samsung Knox, the hardware-anchored security platform that underpins managed Samsung deployments. This model supports Android Enterprise work profiles and fully managed device modes through mainstream MDM/EMM suites including Microsoft Intune, VMware Workspace ONE, SOTI MobiControl, and Samsung Knox Manage, and can enroll at volume through Knox Mobile Enrollment. Enrollment readiness depends on each unit's functional state, so management features apply to units that pass functional testing after repair.
