Description
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra S918U 256GB in Lavender — Wholesale D Stock - Not Fully Functional
Offered to repair businesses, refurbishers, and resellers with in-house bench capacity, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is Samsung's February 2023 flagship: a 6.8-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display at 120Hz, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, and a quad rear camera system led by a 200MP wide sensor with a 10MP 3x telephoto, a 10MP 10x periscope telephoto, and a 12MP ultra-wide, plus a 12MP front camera. The 256GB configuration is listed with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, so the RAM configuration is confirmed at quotation. A 5,000mAh battery supports 45W wired and 15W wireless charging, the Armor Aluminum frame is IP68 rated, and the S Pen is built in. It launched on Android 13 with One UI 5.1, and Samsung commits to four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates. It measures 163.4 x 78.1 x 8.9 mm and weighs 234 g. This lot is the SM-S918U (US carrier model) in the 256GB 5G configuration, Lavender, XAG Generic Locked (carrier not specified) and graded D Stock - Not Fully Functional.
For refurbishers, a manufacturer support runway of 5 years from the February 2023 launch matters at resale: a restored unit carries the remaining update window into the secondary market. This lot fits repair benches, refurbishment lines, and parts-recovery programs rather than staff issue. The fault mix is confirmed at quotation, so bench time and parts can be planned in advance.
