Description
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra S918U 512GB in Phantom Black — Wholesale D Stock - Not Fully Functional
Sourced for repair shops, refurbishers, and parts recovery programs, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra launched in February 2023 with a 6.8-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display at 120Hz with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy. Imaging relies on 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 device adds a 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired and 15W wireless charging and an Armor Aluminum frame with IP68 dust and water resistance and a built-in S Pen. Samsung shipped it on Android 13 with One UI 5.1 and states four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates from launch; it has dimensions of 163.4 x 78.1 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 234 g. The 512GB configuration pairs with 12GB of RAM. This lot is the SM-S918U (US carrier model) in the 512GB configuration, Phantom Black, XAG Generic Locked (carrier not specified), and graded D Stock - Not Fully Functional.
Camera, display and mainboard modules make units useful for parts recovery when restoration is not economical. For repair shops and refurbishers, 512GB Phantom Black units repaired from this lot keep part of the five-year support runway from the February 2023 launch, which adds resale value. The IP68 rating applies only to undamaged, factory-sealed housings; repaired units need new seals before any water-resistance claim.
