Description
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 F946U 256GB in Phantom Black — Wholesale C/D Stock
Built for business deployments, field operations, and managed device programs, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is Samsung's 2023 book-style foldable. It pairs a 7.6-inch Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X main screen at 120Hz with a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover screen. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy runs with 12GB of RAM, and the triple rear camera system combines a 50MP wide sensor with OIS, a 10MP 3x telephoto, and a 12MP ultra-wide, alongside a 10MP cover camera and a 4MP under-display camera. A 4,400mAh battery supports 25W wired, 15W wireless, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging, and the Armor Aluminum frame carries an IPX8 water-resistance rating. The Fold5 launched on Android 13 in August 2023 with Samsung's commitment of four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates. It measures 6.1 mm thick unfolded and weighs 253 g. This lot is the SM-F946U (US carrier model) in the 256GB configuration, Phantom Black, 5G-capable, XAG Generic Locked and graded C/D Stock.
Samsung's five-year security-update commitment gives IT teams and resellers a manufacturer support runway that extends into 2028, a defensible compliance window for the remaining life of these units. The foldable form factor suits executive assignment and customer-facing roles once units are refreshed, and the C/D grade puts Samsung's 2023 foldable flagship hardware within reach of refurbishers and cost-first programs. An IPX8 rating supports rollout to warehouse, field, and healthcare settings where moisture exposure is expected, though the rating does not cover dust.
