Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 F946U 256GB in Blue — Wholesale B/C Stock - Not Fully Functional
Offered to refurbishers, repair depots, and parts-harvesting operations, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is an August 2023 release that pairs a 7.6-inch Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X main screen and a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover screen (both 120Hz) with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy (4 nm) with 12GB of RAM. It carries 50MP main, 10MP 3x telephoto and 12MP ultra-wide rear cameras, plus 10MP cover and 4MP under-display cameras, and runs on a 4,400mAh battery with 25W wired, 15W wireless and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. The body is IPX8 rated, the phone launched on Android 13, and Samsung commits to four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates from the August 2023 launch. It measures 154.9 x 129.9 x 6.1 mm unfolded (154.9 x 67.1 x 13.4 mm folded) and 253 g. This lot is the SM-F946U (US carrier model) in the 256GB configuration, Blue, listed as unlocked and graded B/C Stock - Not Fully Functional.
For refurbishers, the manufacturer support runway of five years from the August 2023 launch matters at resale: repaired units return to market with part of that security-update window still remaining. The Z Fold5 form factor carries high-value assemblies (main and cover displays, hinge, and camera modules), which is why repair shops and parts-recovery programs buy foldable lots in volume. Each unit carries one or more faults, so the lot is positioned for repair, refurbishment or parts recovery, not direct issue to staff.
