Note 8 here I come
Sent from my S8+, S7 edge or S6

It's steeper than I'd hoped. Not to mention the difficulty getting this from Korea.

They're selling for 700,000 KRW (about 650 USD) here in Korea. That's cheaper than a leftover S7 (if you could even find one new), and about $400 cheaper than the S8/S8+ and soon to be released Note 8. Rest assured the 400,000 units going to market will be sold out in a matter of days in Korea; you can forget about buying it elsewhere for anything less than 1000 USD (with tax / duty / shipping), which nobody is going to pay for obvious reasons. Every new Samsung flagship sells for 1000 USD here; many Koreans will jump at a flagship level phone for 650 USD.

yeah!!! finally!!

How much !!

I have a virtually brand new sgs2 (white ) its only been used as a spare for my girlfriend until she got her new phone,so its about a month old. It has been rooted but no custom ROMs as she just needed the temp sim unlock which I have now removed again but kept the root enabled. So I would like now to sell it and was wondering how much these are worth today?. Its 3 UK carrier with all leads,headphones etc and boxed and has a screen protector under the original over covers.
Looked around but the variety of prices makes it unclear how much I should sell for,any ideas.........

eBay will give you a guide as to what they're going for I would have thought.
Edit - Scrub what I said about Marketplace. Seems they closed it a couple months ago. Or sites like this. I'd be surprised if you didn't have them in the UK (Google = friend).

Mmmmmm I wanted a community perspective on pricing because like I said I have looked but the variations on pricing are so different everywhere I look. I want to give somebody a bargain/fair price but I don't want to get ripped off either. The phone was free to me and I have a nexus 4 so I don't need the s2. Thanks but no disrespect I don't need links to here and there but would appreciate a comment like.....
" I would not sell it for less than ? "
" I think they are worth about ? "
Kindest regards

i made a research on the used price of the s2 for a friend of mine, and it goes from 250€ to 350€.
i think around 300€ (or 257.55£) is a fair price
Always go a little higher than what you want to sell it at ( 250 = 270 etc.) because people always wants to go down in price .

Well If you're thinking of selling it...do it fast, samsung might drop the price of SGS2 anytime soon, coz its already doing that for many phones like S3 and note 2 etc..
Well it should go for about british 250 pounds(shouldn't go more than that) if you have all required stuff and accessories...
depends on buyer how much he's willing to pay..
Youll get nowhere near £250.I sold mines for £205 on boxing day,and a 3 month old note for £250 the day after that.Done it via eBay and that cost me about £50.
I believe Orange were selling brand new s2 for £199.99 not long after that.
You list the phone for whatever you think its worth and see if anybody bites.
Thanks all
So if I say £200 then that's a fair price yes ? Give or take a few £
Like I said its virtually brand new with I would say no more than 30 hours use.

Well in India you could sell that for about Rs.18000 to a dealer who deals second hand phones... Coz its only a month old...
That guy will increase the price to Rs.19-20000(220 pounds) and sell in the market... That's all I know... confirmed..
Plus markets are pretty different from places to places... Idk whether it's a good or bad idea selling it online...
Better sell it to a friend or someone...coz that person will feel a sense of security and already knows how less you've used it so will be willing to pay more..
Now u shouldn't be selling it nowhere below 170 pounds... Coz am already getting a 4 month used galaxy S2 in that price here...
Rest is your choice..
Sorry I was saying 250 pounds cox I had got conversions wrong..

The price would totally depend on where you want to sell it... Ebay is one thing, local Craigslist is another. As always, it's not what you want to sell it for, but what someone is willing to pay for it. In my local market, my target would be somewhere around $220-$250. $200 would be the lowest I'd sell it for. I bought my SGS2 a month ago for $140 on Craigslist. The only problems with it were the crappy battery and a scratched lens cover, so I had to buy a replacement casing and a new battery (about $30 worth in total)...
Duty free shop:
S II Brand new: $ 640 bucks
S III brand new: $ 740 bucks.
crazy right?
Sell it as Brand new.

HTC One on AT&T: $199 w/ contract & available April 19th! (Preorder begins April 4th)

HTC One on AT&T: $199 w/ contract & available April 19th! (Preorder begins April 4th)
http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=23994&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=36239&mapcode=consumer|wireless
Beginning April 19, AT&T* plans to offer the highly-anticipated HTC One® smartphone to customers for $199.99 with a two-year commitment, for the 32 GB memory variant. AT&T is the only U.S. wireless carrier at launch to also offer a version with 64 GB of memory for $299.99 with a two-year commitment.
Customers eager to reserve their HTC One will be able to pre-order at www.att.com/htcone on April 4 starting at 1:00 p.m. CT. Only AT&T offers a free** HTC Media Link HD wireless HDMI adaptor*** (a $90 value), which lets you wirelessly share content from your phone to your HD television.
**A $90 value. Offers ends April 18, 2013. 2-year wireless agreement with voice & data plans or Mobile Share plan required on each. Other charges and restrictions apply

So if your pre-order then for $199 with 2-yr contract you get the HTC One with 32gb of storage and wireless HDMI Adapter, whereas with the Galaxy S4 you only get 16gb + No HDMI Adapter.
Looks like a real opportunity for the One to shine and win back customers / market share for HTC :victory:
Glad the earlier report of a $250 price was completely wrong.
Heres a demo of the HTC Media Link Wireless HDMI Adapter being offered if you pre-order before April 18th
Re: HTC One on AT&T = $249 (guess $249 is the new standard)
Should off been offered at $99 to be honest to compete with sgs4. Also there is no mention when 64gb version goes on pre-order I wonder if that version will not release until few months later.

Re: HTC One on AT&T = $249 w/ 2 year contract (guess $249 is the new standard)
What does it matter 200 or 250 when you are paying so much for 2 years? Anyway they will reduce the price after a month or online sites like Amazon, best buy will offer for less. Hopefully these crap contract process ends soon and just sell phones like laptops and other electronics.

Looked on the first 2 pages and didn't see anyone post anything about $249 price.
Looks like AT&T wants to make $249 w/ contract the new standard. Can't wait till next year when the greedy bastards try to push the standard up to $300 w/ contract
Would have been a nice opportunity for AT&T and HTC to offer the One at a lower price (say $199) than the Galaxy S4 to gain market share, but still a great phone.

Not on Sprint, it was shown @ $199. I stay away from the big greedy ones (AT&T and Verizon).
It's not the carrier's fault. The phones are legitimately getting more expensive. The MSRP for the S4 and HTC One are higher. They are both gonna be $249 on contract. The only one who can pull a $199 still is Apple. Nokia is stuck with exclusivity and probably eats much of the cost when they sell their Lumia 920 for $99 on AT&T. Honestly the new crop of phones are minor upgrades and unless you are a spec and benchmark whore, the extra cost doesn't net much compared to getting a much cheaper last gen phone like the One X or S3. 720p vs 1080p very minor for phones. 8MP vs 13MP (or cough 4MP) marginally better (or worse). Last year's dual/quad core phones vs this year's quad-core/octa-core phones, the difference is imperceptible like the S3 vs S4, or still poorly optimized like the Xperia Z that runs like a dual-core.

HTC said the unlocked developer edition with support for AT&T LTE will be priced at $650 in the United States, and developer editions tend to be more expensive than carrier editions. The iPhone 5 16GB with AT&T LTE is $650 from Apple. So why is the One $250 on contract and the iPhone 5 16GB $200 on contract? These new phones are not more expensive. AT&T just wants more money.
i think 199.99 would've been a perfect price point for the 32gb version. For 249.99, the general public will more than likely pick the s4 or the iphone at 199.99.

I guess you haven't heard but the S4 is starting at $250.
And I'm pretty sure that means 16 will be $250, 32 will be $300 and 64 will be $350.
Also iPhone starts at 200 with 16 being lowest memory capacity. So it goes 200, 300, 400.
The HTC One with 32 will be $250 and 64 will be $300.
Hopefully they'll go with memory capacity being only $50 apart instead of the current $100 apart. >.>
So HTC is actually the one with the best prices here. So with your logic actually that means the HTC One is more likely to be picked by the general public. (if only that we're the truth!)

I know the US (and Canadian!) market prices are still very much perceived based on subsidies, but really, we need to look at the cost of devices on an unsubsidized basis if we want to compare Oranges and Apples :=)
The US pricing for *unlocked* iPhone 5's (and this is some 6+ months after release), is:
16GB - $649
32GB - $749
64GB - $849
So you need to compare the HTC One Developer unlocked at $650 to the $849 unlocked iPhone 5. I presume the AT&T "no contract" price for the HTC One 64GB will be the same $649. Seems pretty good value to me!

Im fully aware that the s4 will be starting at 250, hence why I said the public will be more likely to pick that when it's the same price as the one regardless of the storage. The majority of people aren't going to pay attention to the storage but moreso the brand of the phone and the price. Also why would att price it at 250 when sprint is pricing it at 200? not good for htc.
AT&T to sell the HTC One on April 19 for $200, pre-orders start April 4
Earlier we reported that AT&T's version of the HTC One would be going on pre-sale sometime this week, and the GSM carrier has finally revealed its official plans: the flagship HTC device will be ready for pre-order online starting April 4th. Both the 32GB and 64GB models, which will be $200 and $300 respectively, will hit retail store shelves on April 19th. The carrier will also offer a free Media Link HD to sweeten the deal, though it appears that it's only a part of the pre-sale and won't be available to customers who wait until the 19th to grab it.

Compensation

I waited most of this year for the Note 7 to be released.
I've not been able to use the phone properly for most of September (had to leave it at home during a holiday where it would have been great to use the camera). Had the phone crippled to 60% battery. Had to pack up and exchange the phone. Have bought two cases (one temporary while official Samsung LED case came into stock), a wireless fast charger and signed up to a year long SIM only contract.
There is nothing on the market that makes a half decent replacement. There is absolutely nothing that covers all of the features and functionality.
We (in the UK) await Samsung's offer to rectify this.
If as is rumoured we are to be offered a full refund or an S7/S7Edge plus a refund of the difference then I find that utterly unacceptable. I could have bought an S7 Edge when it came out, I didn't want one. I certainly don't want one now when it's due to be replaced in less than 6 months time. I absolutely don't want one at full retail price.
So here is a proposal to Samsung. Sell me a S7 Edge at HALF price with the promise to buy it back and exchange it for an Note 8 when it is released next year. Refund the cost of all my accessory purchases.
As for the Gear VR (now rendered useless), I've no idea what to do with that.
someone need to make a petition for everyone urging Samsung to do the right thing. I can't use my Note 7 anymore and stuck in a 2 yr contract. I am willing to take the S7E for now but they should sell the Note 8 to us who had the Note 7 at a discounted price.

100% this. I want the option to use an S7 or similar until they've released a successor and allow me to take that up when it's available!
From what I've heard, people can exchange it for an s7or get a full refund for the device from contractor or the place you bought it from

That's the story that I've heard from a few sources. However it's hardly compensation is it.
I'm sorry for messing you about for the last month, I'm sorry that you will have to wait a year for a proper replacement, I'm sorry that you will have to pay FULL PRICE for a phone that you don't really want as a replacement. ETC. And for all these sorries we get NOTHING.
Not good enough.
Yeah but because they locked bootloader I had a T-Mobile version and I couldn't not Route 9 so like I said we can't bootloader locked I had to ship my T-Mobile one back to T-Mobile I got a full refund but then I purchased and international version so I could have came root but I had to purchase off of eBay. I paid the full amount through a store. But he is not holding the store accountable eBay not holding themselves accountable and Samsung cannot hold themselves accountable period Samsung will not give me a refund or help me out neither will eBay so at the time being I'm stuck

they are giving ppl 100 to stay pssssh
Accepting their replacement offer seems a total ripoff. The S7 Edge goes for 799€, the S7 for 699 in their online store over here in Germany, 200 € !! more than on Amazon.
I called Verizon, gave them all my note 7 receipts from Amazon and eBay like lens case, screen cover, 2 wireless chargers and they credited my account by the total amount. I am bringing in the VR to also get refunded. I get to keep the 256gb memory card and the wireless charger as the wife has s7 and can use them

Best place to pre-order Galaxy S9 & S9+ in the US?

I did some research, but it looks like there's no bundle this year and the options for a "deal" are pretty much limited to the Trade-In program (available almost everywhere) and the $100 off available only at BestBuy (but with a new activation).
Any other option that I've missed?
I guess it depends on if you want a snapdragon or exynos - I don't believe there is bundle like years past where you get a VR or Dex or something - but if you want to order the Exynos version - best I have found is Clove UK. They prep the phone to avoid region unlock when you turn it on here - great service - I got my note 8 there and have ordered my S9 Plus there too
I suppose the pre-order on Samsung site US will be the SnapDragon version... Is there any way to get the Exynos version in the US?

I don't think you can get the Exynos version in the use due to the region lock.
But you can get it from the UK. See Geekser's post.

Nice cause it comes with 128GB of storage as well... Wondering tho if you had to pay any customs fees.
Edit:
I just checked how much it would be in $ without any eventual customs fees and it comes down to 743.17quid which is $1021.09! Haha! I just refuse to pay 1k for a phone, even if I could run vSphere on it!

I ordered my NOte 8 from them and when the phone shipped to me via DSL I did not have to pay any customs fees. Regarding the cost - in my view, to buy a samsung phone Like the S9 Plus that I can root and run custom roms - well - it's worth the price to me. Even though it does cost more than the Snapdragon phones sold here in the states - custom kernels will never be possible on those phones - so to me - its worth the additional cost.
Sadly looks official at least for the US no additional bonus on, Samsung, Best Buy or Verizon currently. Only deal I see is getting it from Best Buy with the $100 credit which makes at least the 9S+ $815 And the cheapest price period for this phone.
Will project treble help with timely updates for the unlocked? I'd rather purchase the unlocked over a carrier bloated 9/9+
I was going to order through Samsung and then I remembered that last year after I purchased my S8+ from T-Mobile less than a month later T-Mobile had buy one get one free deal and soon after Samsung offered the same deal with $0 down... I'm going to wait but Samsung is offering a trade in discount for eligible phones

My wife says I am addicted to my phone and I think she is right. I have purchsed every Flagship Samsung has launched since the note 2. Every one of them. I typically buy them when they are released on Pre-Order and then sell my old phone to a friend or through Swappa. (I sell them at a good price - that is fair to both me and the buyer - and they end up getting an incredible deal - damn near new phone - in pristine condition - usually with a few accessories thrown in too. And I get excited every time a new phone comes out. I love toys - and I am really excited to play around with the S9 Plus. '
My Behaviour may end up sending me to the poor house - but then, it's only money. and you can't take it with you. LOL
by ordering Unlocked variant from Samsung US do you know if device will be fully unlocked OOTB or just need a sort of Activation on the first boot ?

I noticed in ur sig you have the note 8 and pixel 2 xl. How do they compare battery life wise? I have the pixel 2 xl and I'm thinking about getting the s9+. Kinda craving some more features. How smooth is the note 8 on oreo? :victory::silly:
Is there a difference between the Verizon and Unlocked variants? I pre-ordered through Verizon but it's $100 more... Am I asking for trouble getting an unlocked version?
I pre-ordered the unlock version from Best Buy, but just within minutes of going live, it was unavailable for shipping and thus the only option I had was to pick it up from the store. Anyone else had this problem?

Correct, but that $100 is valid only if you activate a new SIM.

Actually no. I have one on an existing line and new line I still got the $100 credit toward each phone.
Only reason i know this is Wife has an existing line and was going to get an S8+ but the deals went out on that, at least right now, so temporarily I have a S9+ on pre-order just in case I can't get one.

I could get mine from the store or shipped to my place. I opted for the store since its right down the street from my work so makes it easy to nab it.
That was for both Unlocked or Carrier Locked phones.

My wife says I am addicted to my phone and I think she is right. I have purchsed every Flagship Samsung has launched since the note 2. Every one of them. I typically buy them when they are released on Pre-Order and then sell my old phone to a friend or through Swappa. (I sell them at a good price - that is fair to both me and the buyer - and they end up getting an incredible deal - damn near new phone - in pristine condition - usually with a few accessories thrown in too. And I get excited every time a new phone comes out. I love toys - and I am really excited to play around with the S9 Plus. '
My Behaviour may end up sending me to the poor house - but then, it's only money. and you can't take it with you. LOL

I think I know exactly what you mean
Well said and I totally agree with every single thing you just said :good: lol
Best for me was Best Buy. I was initially gonna skip the GS9+ but when I saw that the trade-in value for the GS7 Edge was $300, I decided to go for it.

I actually sold the Pixel XL about a month after buying it. I missed the Camera on my S8 and then Note 8. Pixel battery was good I guess, about the same as my Note 8 - it was a good phone but I don't think it was as good as either the S8 PLus or the NOte 8, IMHO
I just ordered my s9 plus from Samsung, and Im on Verizon so I'm hoping I have no issues with the unlocked version.
I was going to upgrade if there was a good bundle. I was really hoping for a Dex pad since the new version costs what the VR kit once did. But, I've always wanted to try a Note and my S8+ is doing fine. It was getting that mystery lag, but a recent hard reset seems to have fixed that.
If a great deal comes along, maybe I'll upgrade.

Samsung UK pre Orders & Deals

So my order went in quite fast for the S10+ 8/512gb in Ceramic white. I like what Samsung have done this year especially with the 5G variant coming soon.
I'm currently with Vodafone (not the best deal) at £77pm, there are better deals to be had with I believe Sky offering the best?
All carriers seem at present to be only offering up the 8/128gb version. So you will have to go third party, the likes of Carphone Warehouse, Mobile phones direct ect for the 512gb.
So what did you all order and what deal did you manage to get (with trade ins ect)
Got 350 trade in on 9+, I bought 10+ 8/128 and didnt get a deal but of course you get the 2 years interest free which I suppose is a deal in itself.
34 a month

EE are offering 512GB
Has anyone done a trade in with Samsung before? This £300 for the S8 sounds a bit fanciful to me considering other places are offering £200 - £210 for it.
A bit of a story here. I'm on Three and been on PAYG ever since I moved to the UK, but due to circumstances I use Mobile hotspot as my primary internet at home.
So for £69 p/m I went with S10+ Black 8/128GB version.
With that I have unlimited texts, calls and internet which like I said is crucial. Without contract I was spending £35 anyway so if you think about that overall I'll spend £840 instead of £999. And gonna claim pair of Galaxy buds which I would buy anyway, so the price of the phone for me drops to £710. Not bad, now planning on selling my Pocophone F1, screen is so unresponsive I'm done with it lol

Yeah but if that's the offer in place, they have to adhere to it, despite let's say Mobile recycling sites.
I've gone with the Samsung, S10 128gb offer, S8+ trade in, free buds, just over £20/month, and also the Voda sim only £20/month 100GB data deal through Quidco with £50 cash back.
I went for S10+ 8/512 Ceramic Black via Samsung Store
Free ear buds
Free 2 years insurance
£1099
My deal
10% discount (£110)
S9+ - £335 trade in
Depoist £68
0% interest free over 2 years = £24. 46/month
Total paid £1099

Have you seen it in real life? Rose gold frame makes it very feminine.

Yeah It will match well with my salmon T-Shirt & My Not Pink shoes
Anyone Receiving dispatch notifications? Keep up-to-date here, I ordered through Mobile Phones Direct, still the Handset is awaiting release. But delivery expected on the 8th. Hopefully today or tomorrow we will have that all important shipped notifications....:good:
Virgin mobile still shows awaiting release I did opt for delivery 9th as not around on the 8th but like previous request for Saturday delivery they will likely screw up and send out on the 7th lol

Well I'm in the northern parts of Scotland, so if expected delivery date is indeed the 8th, then they would need to ship today or tomorrow, ahhhh the joys of pre order & waiting for our new toys
My order shows - SHIPS: 07 MAR 2019, so i dont expect any movement before Thursday. Delivery on Friday;

Yes I suspect the same, which unfortunately means around next Wednesday for my delivery.....
Ordered the prism white 128gb from Mobiles.co.uk, still expected on the 8th but let's see. From experience they don't ship it early but on schedule
I ordered through buymobiles and got £48 pm for 50GB of data, unlimited texts and calls. Phone was £30 upfront but ordered through quidco and got £30 cashback. Having looked everywhere for a decent deal I think that's the best I found for myself, I don't mind spending a bit extra if it's spread out over the 2 years rather than paying more upfront.
I pre ordered in store ceramic black 512GB, with free Samsung care and ear buds to claim. I never understand why the store advertise this in store but online you don't get the offer of Samsung care.
Currently have XS max 256GB and Note 4. This s10 plus will replace the Note 4.
