No international shipping

How do you ship it to USA?

I contacted Axiom. They ship abroad (at least to Canada). But they are not releasing any until the official release date of Aug 10th.
I was also wondering about the region locking that samsung does. If this is not first started with a sim from that region, won't it fail to work with a foreign sim?

There was no region lock on the S7 Edge that I bought from Dubai, so hopefully there will not be on the Note 7 either. As far as I am aware, there has only been European and USA region lock on Samsung's earlier models.

Sent a message to jumbo cause it appears they take paypal. Hope they ship to America. Strange they are not on ebay already no one lives in dubai?

It is on Ebay price will drop a week just wait

Do you know if it's coming with a 128gb SD card? Most of the other online places are including that. I was waiting for Axiom to have it in stock because they will ship internationally and include the SD card, but I'm still waiting.

This might be a noob question. But what's the difference between 930F and 930FD except the dual sim? What's the down side of the dual sim? Does it compromise anything? Which should I get for use in Canada? Thanks for any insight.

@ Wooba99
What Model and Color did you order?
That's the first time, that I see a dealer with a Coral Blue DUOS Model.
I just thought, this combo is not available

European launch

ZTE UK have mistimed the launch, the Amazon pro-order listing that went up yesterday was the official one even though the countdown only ended today - so there's a one month wait plus 2-3 weeks for delivery! And it's still not listed on ZTE UK's website.
The Quartz Grey should be launched sometime in August and there currently no plan at all for the 6GB / 128GB model.
It's a better phone than the OnePlus 3 but ZTE really need to sort out their marketing and distribution.
http://www.ztedevices.co.uk/zte-axon-7-available-in-europe/
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01HGBVGPS
http://www.ztedevices.co.uk/smartphones/
I pre-ordered it from Amazon UK and have an estimated delivery date of 1-3 August.
I hope they also release it on Ebay since I have some PayPal money I can't get rid of.
How do you know the release date of the Quartz Grey version ?
Sentable date: 30.07.2016 for the Gold one. But i think there just gonna be the 64GB Version. Anyway, more than in my HTC One M8!
I can not wait any longer. Want it now
All the amazon links for the phone in Europe, except UK, are currently showing as unavailable...The european launch just gets worse and worse.

It seems that all the efforts are now focusing US market and they are forgetting about european market for now.
Some good news guys!! Those who have ordered from the UK amazon seller i sent them an email complaining about the delivery date and got the reply that the ZTE original supplier dispatched from China on 15th July, so we should be getting the phones on time/ ahead of time, hopefully by the end of next week!
Since amazon UK won't ship internationally, will other Europe site do that? Couldn't spot that on amazon sites.
Thinking of software side, there shouldn't be any differences between phones shipped by amazon.fr, .de, ... , or is there?
Presumably they should be the same. The uk listing says it is an eu model

Any idea on how to get the phone in Europe?, pretty much, all the Amazon listing are gone and Amazon UK doesn't ship internationally.
Axon 7 could be only a vapour ware in Europe.
The availability is already uncertain.
The better option is simply ignore Axon 7 go for 1+3 or wait for the next nexus devices.
This was the email i received from the Amazon UK seller for those who are curious:
Dear client,
Thanks for your kindly patience and i just confirmed with our product manager and ZTE original supplier good news that the items has been dispatched from China to UK on 15th July.
Thus we hope all the orders would be dispatched in time /ahead time .
have a nice day

[Discussion] Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Philippines

While waiting for my preordered note 7 let's have a note 7 thread for us Pinoys.
I for one think that it's unfair that we only get the VR as a preorder bonus instead of having the option to choose between the Fit2 or the 256gb sd, also the limited color option.

That is a great plan, too bad for me as I don't really have much free time to go to a concept store. But I'm hoping that I won't have a problem with the screens

Just waiting for my Smart retention unit. It comes with a free Battery Pack Case and Clear Case. Confirmed it's the Exynos dual sim version - N930FD.

[LINK]Check your N7 IMEI to see if you have a faulty device

Hi,
Maybe this can be of use for you if you don't want to send your phone back but are sleeping with a popcorn bag on your phone at night.
This is official from Samsung and it is to check if your phone falls in the faulty category, or if you can sleep in peace at night.
IMEI check for Note 7
Would be interesting to see how many of you come back with a faulty and not faulty device. Post your results in the thread and vote!
THIS CHECK MIGHT NOT BE ACCURATE AS IT MIGHT ONLY BE HK PHONES - TEST TO SEE IF YOU GET A FAULTY DEVICE
Mine's from Vietnam and says is not in the affected range.
How accurate is this for anyone outside of the areas listed?

I think it is international. But only replacements can happen in the mentioned areas. I see some German site also talking about it.
But i think we should see if it is valid only for HK, if someone that tests it here has a faulty device, that would mean it works internationally. I saw somewhere that the issue effects 1 out of 42'000 phones sold.

I wish they make a tool for other countries
This is only valid for phones bought in Hong Kong.
You can put your IMEI in but it will say it's not affected even if it might be as the check is only done on HK models sold within HK itself.

If that's the case, they should have said "invalid imei" or "imei not found"?
Tried mine and it just say to visit the service center.
So I expect my Note 7 to burn anytime soon?

My guess is that in HK you can buy phones manufactured in China as well as Vietnam and Korea. If you happen to have a Chinese phone, your IMEI is listed as safe, otherwise it suggests to bring the phone in for an exchange. Again, it's only a guess...
this tools for international to i thing, thats why this tools come from samsung website, not only for china, you cant test your emei for faulty or not, great tools, they trace your device only put in emei, you all cant try

If it was as easy as this then Samsung would be advertising it. I don't trust this at all. Fact is, Samsung have already said they can't trace the phones.
I still hope the replacement Note 7 comes with Gorilla Glass 4 Not 5 and they are recalling it in fact because of how easily it scratches.
Mine says "Not Affected".
But i will return my phone tomorrow.
Don't trust this test it's not true. At least for international devices
Try to put false imei and you'll see the same results.
Of course try logical number.

Launched today in Malaysia. What version?

Moto Z and Z Play have been launched today in Malaysia during an event in Kuala Lumpur.
I'm in Kuala Lumpur these day and I could be interested in buying one Moto Z if it will be the same as Indian version....
What is not still clear is what version will be sold here: 32GB? 64GB? Single or double SIM? When it will be available to stores?
Motorola Malaysia is very evasive on this... Someone has more sharp informations about it?
Before today some online retailer were selling some imported UK version here... but now?

Sorry I did not clarify. This morning they listed in Lazada and 11street as 32GB, and now thry changed it to 64GB. Im very sure it was listed by Lenovo Malaysia because they included the free JBL for first 50 customers.
Sorry pal but you got to keep your hopes very very low, no one in Malaysia really cares about Moto series. Try it, go to any lenovo store and ask them if they have clue about Moto Z. Looks like you gotta try flipkart india to get the dual sim 64GB.

I saw... technical level and knowledge of market of physical resellers is very low here in Kuala Lumpur: they all sell the same three/four brands (mainly Samsung, Oppo, Asus, Huawei, Yes and few other...) and have a very low knowledge of the market. None of the Lenovo reseller I contacted neither knew that Moto Z was out and that it would be sold by Lenovo resellers...
I can understand that is a new product here, BUT if you sell smartphones you have to know ALL THE market. Moto Z is out from June and on YouTube is full of review of it... how they can't even know it?
I live in Italy, I don't sell smartphone, BUT I know a lot of phones sold in China only like Umi, Dogee, e.g....

I'm flabbergasted that the S9 Plus seems to only be available with 64 gigs in the US. How can they up the ram to 6 gigs and keep the storage at 64?
With the upgrades in camera, pictures and videos take up more space. 128 gigs should be the new base standard.

I am only guessing but I think they did it to keep the cost lower. If they had gone to 128GB in the US, the price would have been over 1000 for a new phone and I think they wanted to keep it lower than the IPHONE X - that is just my guess -but I bet I am correct.

Here in canada the s9 costs $624 usd since every store gives you a $150 discount when you trade in any junk phone, its definitely the cheapest galaxy phone to date that i've seen. My s8 was $800.

Quite possible. Only issue is adding in a decent SD card, which will be needed, still bumps the price up. I don't usually use external storage for phones, too, so this is a big drawback for me.

WOW - that is amazing. I purchased my S9 Plus (128GB) at CLOVE UK, I think after the conversion from Pounds to Dollars the final cost was $1014 - that includes overnight shipping. BUT, none of the extras you got in Saudi Arabia -

Check with them if it has the regional lock and if so ask them to send you a prepaid SIM or unlock it for you ( which mean they have to make a 5 minute call )

*Since September 2013, Samsung has implemented a 'region lock' on all new stock. Clove Technology only has access to models designed for the “European” region, which covers both UK and mainland Europe. The compatible countries are listed below**.
For correct operation, this handset should be activated inside one of these countries with a SIM card issued for use there. The device will then be able to accept SIM cards from outside of these countries.
Activation requires turning the device on for the first time & completing set-up with the SIM installed, then completing at least 5 minutes of voice call(s) with this SIM.
Without activation you may still use the device outside of these countries when 'roaming' - using a SIM card from the listed countries.
If this activation procedure is not followed then the device will lock when first attempted to be used with a SIM card from outside of these regions. Local Samsung support may provide a code to unlock such handsets.
**All member states of the E.E.A and the following additional territories: Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M), Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, Serbia and Vatican City.
IF YOUR CHOSEN DELIVERY COUNTY IS NOT LISTED, CLOVE TECHNOLOGY WILL BREAK THE SEAL ON THIS DEVICE AND ACTIVATE IT. YOU MUST AGREE TO THIS PROCEDURE IN THE CHECKOUT BEFORE THE SALE WILL COMPLETE.

US and China always get Snapdragon variants, all other regions get Exynos.

@calinormy does that cost way cheaper than being bought in other countries in Hongkong ? Worth to buy one at HK - just wondering price would be less.

Hi do you know if the 256 and 128 GB of the S9+ in Saudi Arabia are Exynos or Snapdragon ? And perhaps do you know if Saudi Arabia and UAE will get the same version ?
