Anyone getting the Plus? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer

Went to pre-order on the Samsung website and it's only showing the 128GB version available. Spoken to Samsung on Live Chat and apparently it's the only version available in the UK?!

Probably not sure when it will be available here in Australia but I am really excited if I end up picking this up I may start work on getting a device tree and twrp built and work on developing custom roms.

I talked with samsung and the biggest e-commerce in norway. I was told that for some countries it takes some time before the 256gb model is available. According to Komplett.no it should be available here in norway soon for preorder

I pre-order yesterday the S7+ 128GB Wifi Black by the Samsung site in the Netherlands.

I was looking forward to ordering the S7+ with 4G/5G with 8GB and 256GB storage but guess what? It's not available in the UK only the 6GB 128GB model which is inferior to my Tab S6 so I'm going to pass on this model which is a shame. What is wrong with Samsung UK?!!!

Same here - I won't be buying one in the UK until Samsung release the 8GB RAM version. I imagine that may never happen, though, as they never released the higher spec Tab S4 in the UK either.

This will bring me back to sammy after Huawei screwed its US based customers on the M5 series. My prior device was the Note Pro, and i loved it, but no new support and ROMs were iffy.

I've been holding on to my Pro 12.2 for years now and just sold it on Ebay. I'll use the proceeds to order my S7+ once it is available in the US. I wonder if Samsung will give a trade in allowance for the S4, which is a great tablet.

Pre ordered the s7+ 8gb 256 gb with the keyboard cover for just 1034 euro. The original book cover comes free with this tab as a promtion in the Netherlands.

It is available now in the US to be reserved on samsung.com, looks like the only incentive is a $35 instant credit for accessories. I definitely want it but want to see if anyone else has better offers

Just put in my pre-order for the wifi 128 gb Plus in grey. They also offered a $300 Trade in for my Sprint S4 and a small military discount which will go toward taxes.
Since it's just a sign up for a pre-order, there's no downside to ordering and then not completing the order if you find a better deal elsewhere.

I'm trading in my tab s6 and getting 450 for it, I only spent 500 when I bought it so i'm happy. Reserved tab s7+ 256 mystic silver for 408$. Tbh I'm still a little worried about the size. 10.5 inches was already BIG though I did get used to it. Hope I get used to the s7+ as well.
I'm sure we will get a pre order bonus, I just wish it was coming out sooner. Sucks we have to wait so much longer than in the US.

Just saw on Samsung's website, least from the US side $300 credit on a Trade in for the S4...
Truly hoping I can get the 256GB model here before the end of the month at Best Buy (release supposedly Friday). Get 10% off the device then can just sell the S4 out right.

pre order the bronze s7+ tab in Singapore. only delivering from 7th September. black one started delivering

I have ordered the S7+ in bronze. Due for delivery today ?
Really looking forward to it. Hope the increase in size isn't overbearing but it's smaller (just) than my surface pro so it should be ok.

Isn't it a free book cover? ie not the keyboard cover?

I'm also getting mine tomorrow (Monday) and I also made the mistake of thinking the pre-order gift was the Keyboard Cover as well but nope it's just the Book Cover so I'll probably end up going for the Game Pack as the pre-order gift and then maybe buy the Urban Armor Gear Metropolis Protective Case for the S7+ instead. There really aren't that many decent cases out for the S7+ yet, I'm seeing plenty for the S7 but not many for the S7+ so the Urban Armor Gear case is the most decent one I've seen so far. £70 though which is about the same price as the Book Cover would be.

[Australia] Galaxy Note 7 user thread

Hello my fellow Aussies,
This thread is an open discussion from the day you've ordered your Note 7!
Feel free to share ideas like roms, tips, accessories, past & current experiences etc.
Having created a thread like this for my Galaxy S6 it was a great place for information, ecspecially for software/carrier updates.
I'll start off by saying that I'm very excited to owning my first Galaxy Note. Reason for changing to the Note is the awesome design, bigger screen & battery life, which was terrible on the S6. I've pre-ordered it in black, because once you go black your gonna need a wheel chair (White Chick's movie joke) ??
And also ordered the Spigen neo hybrid crystal clear case.
Hi, great idea!
All threads i read are US based....mainly.
I have ordered my Black note 7 direct through Samsung online, so at the moment due to arrive 19th. I wish it would ship early....but highly doubt it.
I have also ordered genuine Samsung screen protector and a clear case. Not sure if i will like the case, had one on my Note 5, and didn't like the feel in hand.
Has anyone seen an OUTRIGHT pre-order deal that has the gear fit 2?

No. Only deals I've seen available to AUS have the 256GB Micro SD card. I was personally hoping for a Gear VR deal
Anyone going to get the Dubai dual sim model?

I was in two minds about colour. My Note 5 I got in Silver, for something diffferent. I like i, but i dont like how prominest marks are, i have a clear film cover on the back and any scratches/marks show up a lot. This time i have opted for the Black on the Note 7
just pre-ordered mine from Telstra with the SD card, I decided to get the black one. It is a thing of beauty.
Sadly still need to wait 9 more days
Fingers are crossed for early shipping!!
I eagerly awaiting June 19th.
I pre-ordered a black one on Sunday and they that I would get a case and screen protector besides 256GB SD-Card.
I also got a SGP Neo Hybrid Gunmetal case 5 days ago.

Sweet thanks man ?
I initially ordered one from buymobile then read some reviews on them and went into panic mode and cancelled the order. It was $200 cheaper than Samsung and Hardley Normal but no MicroSD deal so I cancelled it pretty much straight away. I want warranty with this phone and I think with the outright buy price it's worth having warranty although I never needed it with my international Note 4 I got through yatango. Never needed it on any handsets, touch wood.
I then went to the Samsung site and black onyx was sold out so I ordered one from Harvey Norman. 8 or 9 days left but not counting. Much. lol
Have ordered a UAG cover in black for the 7. I've had them on my last two Samsungs and they are brilliant cases, a little bulky but saved me a few times with a few drops, pretty good asset if you ask me.''Really interested in what model of handset we will get, starting to think it's the end of ROMs for me but you never know and that's why I'm still here.
I have to admit that I was extremely disappointed that Samsung Australia opted not to bring the Coral Blue color and for me this was a deal breaker, after waiting so long to replace my Note Edge and eagerly reading every single leak from eveleaks and onleaks and looking at the beautiful blue color that was rendered by eveleaks and was voted as the most popular color in a poll that was done by Ausdroid and they decide not to bring it....for once you could choose a different color than the usual boring silver/black/atrocious gold and they opted not to bring it grrrrrr!!!! damn you Samsung Australia!!!! I was ready to forgive for not having 6gb of RAM and 4000mAh battery as was leaked heavily months before the launch but not to bring the blue color was the deal breaker, you've stuffed it up S.A!!!
4000 megahertz battery huh? That's a pretty high frequency.

Wow, Black sold out on the AUS Samsung site? Glad i got in early there.
Same as you, on my internations Note 5 that i got online, they did have a warranty, but never had to use it. I looked at buying the note 7 from the same international supplier, but it was only $200 cheaper and i though to myself if anything does go wrong, i can go straight back to Samsung without any huge issues.
Do we know if the 930G is the Australian specific model?

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

That's a good point and it makes sense, but I still think is too much for a phone that has a lifespan less than a year.

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 ?

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?

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.

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.

Moving Up

I'm such 'a pain in the neck', within one week I owed two Note8 phones, sent them back and finally now: I ordered a spankin' brand new 9+! See, once I designated the money some ten days ago, for that first, new, N8 for $650 during Amazon Prime I was the happiest dog on the face of Earth. Then came a big disappointment, that phone would not pass Google's integrity, was uncertified and had very spotty BT, couldn't play music in my car. It went back and I ordered the N8 DS International for which I'm still waiting 4 days on, no show. I'm in contact w/ Amazon, told them about the deceptive trackin'/emails the '3 party' vendor is sending to me since. I mean, a classic 'buyers beware' situation. They advertised that phone for $620 under AmazonPrime partnership as a new phone, blah, blah. So I told Amazon now it's their responsibility if they're allowing 3 party people to do such a diversions. They agreed, I will get my money back and when the phone shows up, I'd just send it back right away. And I will get a one month of free Prime for my trouble. (Late delivery)
Now, "the happy days are here again", I ordered the S9+ unlocked, (has the lte band 71) directly from Samsung: 128GB(only$50 over the 64GB:laugh:
What helped me to make this move was this promotion-deal: Chromebook 3 11.6” (32GB Storage, 4GB RAM) for 29.99, so am hoping to sell it in orig. pckge on eBay for at least $150-170 to smooth over the $950 price for the S9+(incl.tax). Got free MicroSDXC EVO Plus Memory Card w/ Adapter 128GB with it, too.
So, decisions -decisions, I think I've made a good one, I usually stay with one phone for several years. I'll be seeing you around our Galaxy!
No matter how bad it gets, I'll NEVER give up a Note for a S+ device. I can not give up my S-Pen.
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you went through. Had I been in your shoes, I'd have traded in my Note8 for a Note1 before going to a S9+

I really wanted that N8 but got frustrated with amazon vendors making you believe that you're buying a "new" phone, as I tried twice, and then it turns out to be a lemon(x2). Official Samsung price was still around $950 for the N8 and with that am't of bucks to part with I had to do some reasoning in my head.
For S9+, 128GB, next gen Soc, better camera(didn't know for sure about that then - buy it really is great) and a few other things, the sticker price was $890(+$60tax) including about $250 of 'perks': a 128GB redEvo SD and 32GB Chromebook. I put the chromebook on swappa and it took only 2 days to sell it for $170, shipped it out earlier this morning and my final, total price (state tax included) for S9+ w/ 128GB SD ended up @ $840
I'd agree with your reasoning, but I know that I'd soon want to get something with an S-Pen.

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.

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.
