Samsung Galaxy S10+ / Ceramic Black / 521GB
We'll see what Samsung can do.
I'm thinking of unlocked variant to be used on TMO US. Any pros or cons of this?
My estimated ship date is March 15th I ordered it at 6am est?
I just ordered the plus 12gb/1TB in Ceramic White. I'm soo stoked... email says deliver by 3/8 ?
With the stories regarding Samsung's trade in I'm debating whether to go thru BB or Samsung. The latter offers Uni, so it's cheaper.
For those that have pre-ordered (US) can you please mention whether you were charged or not.

I have has problems on Unlocked firmware and Band 71 with my Note 9. Roams and drops the signal at my house, while using TMO Firmware I don't have issues. IF you're not in a Band 71 area it's probably a non-issue.
Also note this was on leaked Pie updates. I don't recall having that issue on Oreo.
I just preordered the S10+ 512 in ceramic black unlocked. I have a shipping date of 03/08. Ordered from Samsung.

Not really.
Except some specific features like wifi calling may not be available. Also, not sure yet, but you were able to flash t-mobile or carrier specific firmware on the unlocked and vice versa. They are generally rocking the same thing.

Where did you order it from, and is it unlocked or carrier?
Just preordered the S10+ unlocked (Blue) 128GB, shipping date of 3/15. That's what I get for waffling.
Hey, any idea when the international versions get released? I thought about waiting for the dual sim version, but couldn't hold myself back.

I currently use the unlocked S8+ on a t-mobile mvno, wifi calling works fine for me. Also, don't quote me on this, but isn't the unlocked firmware supposed to set itself up depending on what carrier sim is installed? Thought I've been reading that for the past few months.

Same thing with me... S10+ Verizon version 512 Ceramic Black - hopefully that date jumps up to March 8th... not sure what the deal is. I ordered mine 2/21 at 10am EST
Samsung.com it's tmobile s10+ 128gb in white
I ordered 2 S10+ with Sprint through Samsung.com after midnight on the 20th. Does anyone know if Samsung ships UPS or FedEx?
S10+ / 128GB / Prism Black / Unlocked
Ships March 16th (due to me waiting a day before ordering it -_-)
AT&T S10+, 128gb, Black glass. I have a N8 to trade in so there was no way I was going to ever be able to get that much selling it outright. Paying $450 out of pocket, THAT I can deal with.

The one thing I haven't cared for with the Unlocked version is they tend to push OTA much slower than the carrier versions, and the Wi-Fi calling feature on the AT&T side is something I lose on U1 firmware

Reserved mine about a week before the Feb 20th
Got an email evening of the announcement day that I can go ahead and pre-order the phone
Preordered Galaxy S10e unlocked model in blue color and 128GB. I thought of picking up T-Mobile version, but then I remembered that I can always easily flash my unlocked phone to a carrier firmware
Don't know when Samsung will actually ship it, but date says "by March 8"

I preordered unlocked phone to be used on T-Mobile too. Most features(WiFi calling, band 12, possibly band 71 and VoLTE) will work on T-Mobile using an unlocked galaxy phone such as S8, 9 and I assume S10 too. One feature may not work is build in T-Mobile Digits, but user can download an app for it if needed or just flash T-Mobile firmware onto an unlocked phone.
sprint shows 3/6 for shipping...
Pre-ordered the Flamingo color s10+ ATT version, pre-ordered from ATT website today at 6 pm, and says it suppose to ship the 11th

Hi guys. I've been out of the android game a little bit so I'm lost and my son is wanting a Galaxy S6 Edge.
His mom(doesn't stay with us) said she was going to get him one for his birthday, well that looks like it may not happen now
so I think I'll bite the bullet and buy one for him. Good kid, good grades, stays out of trouble.
I'm on AT&T in the US and trying to figure out which variant I should get.
Should I just bite the bullet and go the AT&T store route using Next or I should I buy an international version and be ok?
Would he miss out on anything like Visual Voicemail going with an International version? There will be no rooting or any other flashing done to the phone.
I see G925F, G920F and G925I on ebay and Amazon in the $600 no tax and free shipping range vs $720 + tax at AT&T
Which one would you guys recommend and if I should go ebay, amazon or at&t?
I thought about getting the international and throwing it on a new no interest card for 12-15 months and going that route vs ATT Next. Seems like I would save about $200 although going to the store I could pick it up and make sure it doesn't have bad pixels before walking out the door. I need to run the numbers
Thanks

Yeah that's my fear with ebay and some of the Amazon comments have been questionable. I'd put it on a credit card so I'd have some protection there but would hate having to jump through hoops.
does it have to be the edge? but yeah, I would recommend an unlock international version either way especially if you're currently with a GSM provider. I just recently ordered my gf the unlocked international S6 duos from B&H. luckily the colour she wanted happened to be the one that's currently selling for less at the moment.
LTE is working for both my Note 5 duos SIMs which seemed to be a concern for some people about the duos version.

Thanks. So which of the the models I listed above would be the one.
Yeah he wants the Edge so that's what I'll get, good kid, makes the grades, doesn't ask for a lot. My older 19yo son that's on my plan bought the non Edge S6 out right but he has a job and saves and buys what he wants so you gotta love that.

well, anything 920 is out, because that's the S6 body.
go to B&H and check the specifications for the supported bands. they do have an unlocked G925A specifically for ATT. B&H is the biz - I get a ton of camera gear from there (and Adorama). return policy is awesome. one week full money-back if purchased in-store. 30 days if shipped to your home. of course, shipping is on you.

well, you're guaranteed everything works. ATT bootloader is locked, if you care about rooting. you'll get all the ATT bloatware. i'm not sure if the ATT handsets have their branding on it. there may be some difference in bands support (if you plan on traveling abroad with your phone and using it). but if the phone is just going to remain under ATT's network, domestically, I don't think getting one from them can be a bad idea.
as for vvm and mms, I couldn't even tell you. I personally don't use either.

FWIW, My AT&T S6 edge has some Samsung software/settings removed that some people have said are good (ie, the download booster). I found this thread since I'm getting ready to exchange my AT&T locked s6edge for an unlocked one.
Also, are you sure your son won't want to root his phone? I had my phone for 4 days before realizing I'd really like to root my phone.
Also, my research (on the B&H site) shows that the AT&T specific version has fewer bands (LTE especially) for when travelling abroad.
The reason to go AT&T imo is their lay-away plan, but if you are buying outright I don't see the win. (But I haven't done the alternative yet).
---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------
One clarification I noticed... the 925F has all the bands of the 925A (AT&T phone) and then some. The 925I is missing 4g-lte band "20" that the AT&T phone has, according to B&H specs. So I'd avoid the 925i for AT&T in the states.

He just turned 13 so he won't be rooting. If he wants to buy a phone himself then he can do whatever he wants to it. Not taking the chance of it bricking.
Neither of us will be traveling abroad. If I was buying for me the International would be a no brainer but since I'm getting it for him. I want to make sure there won't be quirks on AT&T
I read a thread on this forum where some people said they weren't getting full LTE speeds on the international versions on AT&T. I'm still researching. Wonder if it's the modem software. Thanks for the heads up about the 925i. I over looked that.
His mom was supposed to get him the phone for his 13th birthday but now says it'll be two weeks. If she doesn't come through. I'm going to bite the bullet and get it for him. I have custody so maybe it would be best if I just got the phone and have him on my plan so I can monitor it if need be.
B&H has an AT&T branded but it's the wrong color. Still not sure why he wants the gold.

HAHA You're right.
I mean it doesn't look bad really.
I like the White Platinum though
I agree - the gold is really something else. till you actually get it in hand, you don't realise just how sexy it really is. I wish I got it over my black sapphire S6e.
(the gold S6d I got my gf)
of course, I still prefer the white pearl.

Still debating on a AT&T branded phone vs International version. I found new unlocked AT&T Edge Plus on ebay almost the same price as a regular 6 Edge unlocked. $70 difference but that thing is kind of big so now I'm debating on going the ebay route for the Edge Plus or sticking with the regular s6 edge.
If I did get the international SM-G925F for my son to use on AT&T. How would he get updates pushed to him? Like the update to Marshmallow? Would he have to use a computer to update it or would Samsung just push it to the phone?
ETA:Looking at B&H says it has a 1yr limited warranty through B&H. Is the Samsung one voided because it's unlocked?

the updates are over the air (OTA), and may be released even earlier than carrier models.
I'm guessing that if the warranty is not directly through the manufacturer via B&H, then B&H may be offering an equivalent because the international models are from different other markets. you can always verify with them, but they're a highly regarded business, so you shouldn't have to worry.
(Sent from another Galaxy via Tapatalk)
Thanks for your help
I think I'm just going to order a G925F from B&H. It's only a few cents different than Amazon but I think it may be easier to deal with a warranty issue if it comes up with B&H than a seller on Amazon since it'll be 3rd party and not sold by Amazon.
eBay has a ATT branded Edge Plus for 699 but I think that may be too big for him to carry in his pocket during school hours.
Looks like the new Jetech glass is getting thumbs up from the thread I read so I'll put that on it and get a Spigen case or maybe a flip cover case I saw on Amazon.
Thanks again

Off topic response:
Down here in India, carrier locked phones are extremely rare. The "international" version of any phone is common. We just walk into a showroom, buy a phone, any phone and done. We have a fully factory unlocked "international" version of the phone.
So tell me, in the United States, can't you just walk into a showroom and get a factory unlocked "international" version of a phone?

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.

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.

Where did you pre-ordered yours? I posted the order on Lazada, and i received a call earlier informing me that stocks will arrive on the 16th and they will ship it to me immediately.

I also checked the brochures it does state "Dual LTE"
A samsung concept store. as I need to check the uniformity of the screen before accepting the unit so lazada is not an option for me.
I really wish for the coral blue version to be available here

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
If someone knows how to get it early, let us know.
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.

How will you do that screen check? Just naked eye or is there an app or code test for that?

I pre ordered from Samsung mega mall. Really glad it's a dual SIM. Hoping that's true. Can't wait to pick it up this Saturday.

It is a dual sim model.
I just wanted to start a thread for any fellow Canadian people looking to discuss Canadian specific details of the phone.
I'm pretty excited to preorder the phone. I will most likely go to Sherway Gardens in Toronto to do it. Anyone know what the pre-order incentives will be?

Good question about the pre order stuff we never seem to get the good stuff like the US does lol
A 256gb micro sd would be sweet.
For me it wont matter i guess though since even If I get one (which im not 100% on just yet) I wont waste my money on a Canadian version with the snapdragon in it since the BL will be locked on it.
This isnt exactly Canadian specific but worth mentioning.
Honestly if you want root,twrp etc just buy a exynos version and bypass the snapdragon BS version.
Ive bought a few exynos samsungs locally here in Toronto in the past and even got my Note FE off Ebay so easy enough to buy.
They end up costing the same or less as the snapdragons anyway. My S8 plus dual sim cost less than the snapdragon version lol.
You may miss a few features like wifi calling or VOlte but small sacrifice for an unlocked bootloader really
Just my .02
sent from my Note FE, S8 plus, or S6
Might just do that. I would love to get a dual SIM version they may offer from Asia.
The only thing I was hoping for at Sherway Gardens was to be able to trade in an old clunker for 200$ off like they sometimes have. 1300$ is a spicy meatball.
Anyone know which international model plays nice with our Canadian basebands? If I remember correctly F/G variants worked well in the past, but need a confirmation.

SM-N950F (variant)
Hi All,
I am interested in obtaining the "F" / "FD" (Dual Sim) variant of Note 8 , with a base storage of 256 GB, 6 GB or 8 GB RAM.
I know it is not available in the North American Market, but as an example, if I were to order something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pre-order-2...hash=item4d615eae63:m:mGiwyjAXrkDPzAr6rav0gew
The Korean Model, will it work in Canada with LTE speeds, regardless of which carrier I will be with (ROGERS, BELL OR TELUS)?
Also, is it true that the Korean Model will have a base RAM of 8 GB vs. 6 GB for all other models?
Thanks.

I heard that Korean Model has dedicated S/W installed that can not be removed?
Can we flash via odin or SmartConnect or whatever utility that samsung uses to factory restore to stock firmware, so it is not bloated with carrier app(s)?
I really want to get the dual SIM Card version (also is it dual active / dual standby / dual -LTE) - what I am hoping is, I have personal A/C with ROGERS with limited data here in Canada, but my business work corp A/C is unlimited data ; so hence the reason for dual SIM Card.
Also, 256 GB comes with 8GB RAM or is it 6 GB RAM?
Thanks.

I sent them a long email (polite and detailed) about this in hopes they will. The more people who contact them (phone or email) the better but who knows. Doesn't hurt but also made mention of how the US trade-in list for that discount includes the S5 but not the Note 4 when the Note 4 came our 6 months after the S5. Also that Note 4 owners who skipped the Note 5 for the Note 7 have no alternative and should be allowed to trade-in a Note 4 as well.
Fingers crossed but I won't hold me breath. We get screwed up here in Canada all the time. If no discount then Samsung has lost me forever and the LG V30 and Pixel 2 are just around the corner as well and since I've waited this long I can wait a little longer.
Samsung needs to do something here in Canada too, I had to send my Note 7 back twice just like our friends south of us.

I had pre-ordered on the 23rd. After several emails to Sammy, I cancelled my pre-order and made it very clear that my reason was due to the lack of communication etc from Sammy Canada. I even brought up the fact that they seemed to have learned nothing from the Note 7 fiasco last year!
I am getting the Blue one from Bell. Paying the $1350 man I wish our dollar was stronger. Also login to Samsung's promotion website and pre register the micro SD card and wireless charger. Anyone else buying it out right?

Got the same response via FB like 2 days ago.
Has anyone found a reliable seller for the S9+ in 128 or 256? Exynos or SD. I don't care.
Vodafone Romania- preordered 256 gb black variant. Check www.vodafone.ro and ask if they do international shipping!
I just ordered my S9+ 256gb black (dual sim) from axiom telecom in UAE. I did order my S8+ from them last year without problem. They ask for a scan of your id and a scan of your credit card. Shipped to France without problem (though Aramex shipping company was not very speedy at delivering). Shipping from UAE is said to happen on March 15 ... and should take 10 days to reach me.
I ended up going with the 128GB UK version from https://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s9-plus .
Cost me $1,023 but it's way better than a Snapdragon with 64GB for $840. and the price includes 3 day international shipping. Considering they are expecting their 1st shipment on the 8th, I may see mine before release day.

I've bought 3 Galaxy's from this eBay seller. They're in Houston and offer US and International devices with features you can't purchase here in the US. Very competitive pricing and a good return policy. Highly Recommend!

Those are some seriously good prices. I'd be tempted if I hadn't already bought a 128 exynos S9+ since the SD 256 is on there for the same price.

Pardon my ignorance, but are these alternate sources the same as the unlocked phone offered through Samsung's website?
I have never bought a new phone from any seller but one of the big 4 carriers and am just now starting to realize how much better life might be buying this S9+ from someone other than Verizon without all the crapware and the Qualcomm chip. I am aware of the VOLTE concerns, etc. If the standard features work with VZW from some of these overseas sellers I am golden.
The reason I'm even pursuing a source other than Samsung.com is because they don't appear to offer anything but the 64 GB model
you need to get a U3 listed sd card or it wont record 4k video to the card. U1 is too slow

The S9 and S9+ listed in that ebay sellers shop are the Chinese variants. Which basically means that they have the snapdragon processor, higher storage, and have a better chance of being rooted than any of the U.S. versions.
If you're new to buying outside carriers, it is good to know the benefits of each processor. Snapdragon has support for all U.S. carriers, if unlocked. It also has a stronger gpu so gaming, emulators in particular, will run better. It does not root very well.
The Exynos version tends to have better battery life, and a stronger cpu. It also gets root along with custom roms. It does not, however, work with Sprint or Verizon. They use CDMA radios that the Exynos models just do not have. Also, they apparently lack 1 of T-Mobile's radio bands, but should still mostly work.
You can go HERE to learn more about each individual model.
Clove UK - I have purchased my last three phones there - great people - great service.
international version warranty?
If I get the S9+ international from oversea, will it still have warranty in the US?

Are you sure?
The S9+ Chinese market device SM-G9650 and SM-G9658 don't list LTE Band 13 to work with Verizon.
That site also shows UK devices with Band 13 which I don't think is correct?
SM-G965FZKDXEU
SM-G965FZVDXEU
Both showing with LTE Bands: B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B13(700), B17(700), B18(800), B19(800), B20(800), B25(1900), B26(800), B28(700), B32(1500), B66(AWS- 3)
That seems to directly contradict what Clove has on their website:
https://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s9-plus
I would take that Tech Walls link with a grain of salt because it seems to contradict what I'm seeing in many other places.

not warranty in the US whereas the S9/S9+ coming with exynos ( SM-G960F/SM-G965F-DS) instead of snapdragon 845
The SM-G9600 and SM-G9650 have snapdragon 845, but I don´t know if these comes with CDMA ratio, but it´s very probably that they doesn´t come with US warranty ( also the 128GB and 256GB at this time has not been offered in the official Samsung store yet)
