Unlocked GSM smartphone for prepaid users

This new Samsung Galaxy S9 G960U arrives unlocked for GSM networks such as AT&T, T-Mobile and their MVNOs. It will not operate on CDMA carriers including Verizon or Sprint. The 64 GB internal storage and 4 GB RAM support everyday apps and media. Lilac Purple finish distinguishes the handset.

5.8" Super AMOLED display

The 1440 x 2960 panel renders 16 million colours in a compact 5.8 inch format. The rear 12 MP sensor switches between f/1.5 and f/2.4 apertures to balance low-light capture and depth of field. Video modes include 2160p at 60 fps, 1080p at 240 fps and 720p at 960 fps with HDR. 64 GB may fill quickly with 4K footage.

Nano SIM slot and LTE Cat18 connectivity

A single Nano SIM enables LTE-A carrier aggregation up to 1200 Mbps downlink and 200 Mbps uplink. GSM bands 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz cover most international roaming needs. HSPA fallback reaches 42.2 Mbps down and 5.76 Mbps up. No CDMA radio is present, so CDMA-only networks remain unsupported.

Questions about this item

Will my existing nano-SIM card work with the G960U?

Yes, the phone accepts a nano-SIM and is GSM unlocked for carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile and other prepaid GSM networks; it will not work on CDMA networks.

How can I confirm the 12 MP dual-aperture camera is functioning correctly after setup?

Open the camera app, switch to Pro mode and take test shots in bright and low light; the aperture should shift between f1.5 and f2.4, and 4K video at 60 fps should record smoothly.
