It looks like a 6GB Note 7 is hitting the market soon. I might wait for that one.

It won't have T-Mobile support with band 12 and Volte. Doubt they would support a overseas/us variant and offer actual T-Mobile customers the 4gb model.

I don't care about T-Mobile. Anyways the point here is why not offer one variant for everybody with 6GB RAM. RAM is cheap and Note would have benefited from extra RAM. We also pay $850+ so that should be enough money for them to give everyone top notch hardware.

I think the gray market it's much faster than that, sure will be available at eBay or Amazon a week later, but won't be cheap, that's it's sure.
I read a comment on some moron about 6gb doesn't impact the performance, seems he never used instagram more than 5 flips.
6gb doesn't make a phone faster but are a safe against ever more memory hungry apps.
I'm disappointed too about the Note 7, I delayed my phone purchase waiting for 6gb+newest SOC, neither arrived just an S7 Edge with few newer tricks non-android std.

I meant they might push the official 6GB RAM release in USA by 1 month. Yeha I am pissed off too that they didn't upgrade the RAM. RAM is cheap actually. Too bad some people are blind and they would buy anything Samsung offers. W.e though. It is what it is I guess.

Because not everyone needs 6GB of RAM? Doesn't make us blind idiots. My 3GB RAM phone is still fluid, fast, and feels brand new. I'm not worried about 4GB not being enough.

Exactly note 4 has 3GB ram and I never had problems with ram management. Unless google decides to make some critical changes to android (chances are slim, but hey they're unpredictable) I don't see 4GB of being a problem for next 2 years.
Is not a rumour, it's confirmed and will cost you about 80$ over regular dual sim model.
Originally planned for China, Sammy doesn't discard to include more markets (gray importers on party now)
So is it true that the improved Note 7 with 6GB ram is coming later on or is this just a roumor?

From the reports, I have seen, it is a CHINA Only model, even has Chinese govt bloatware.....
Not out yet — with prior Note versions there's always been reports that Chinese versions are about to come out with — usually — more internal storage, and they never materialized.
So am curious if this one will actually appear…

Guaranteed this will be launched by Samsung in a few months as the Galaxy Note 7 Pro. Look what it's already done with the Galaxy A9 Pro. Seriously it's basically a given. Heck, here in Japan the company even re-launched the Galaxy S3 back in the day with the enhanced specs that were in the Korea model at the time.

Really? Your pissed off because the RAM wasn't upgraded? I was hoping for more RAM, but I've never had an issue with memory. You can easily manage with 4gb. If you're so disillusioned stay on the OnePlus. No one asked you to join the party, and the OnePlus line of phones has always been a great bargain alternative.
I'm a recent fan of Samsung mainly because of the Note line of phones. Stylus is now a requirement for me as I really missed it in the two weeks I was on the s7 edge.

I'm not that optimistic — supposedly the 6GB SM-N9000 was rumored to appear in China as of next Thursday — September 1ˢᵗ… So far no advance word — historically with Samsung this has meant the advance “rumors” don't materialize…

I can't imagine why you would actually need 6gb ram unless you have 30 apps open all the time. Still, I think samsung charge enough (!) For the ordinary version to include the extra ram and storage.

As per title, are LG doing to ship the 32GB variant to Europe as every non-imported model appears to be 16GB?
Thanks
My usual German store shows both 16GB and 32GB in pre-order, so I'm assuming yes.
In Norway it seems only the 32GB is on sale, comes in black or white.
Interesting, wonder why LG have decided then not to ship 32GB to UK then, or whether its a supply constraint?
I'll just have to import from the continent.

It's 32GB, 24.60 is probably the free space you got for the Virtual SD Card.
I figured as much, but doesn't that seems strange? Would the OS etc really consume 7.4 GB? Hell you could fit a Windows into that! If this is the case, then a 16GB version of the phone would be left with 8-9 GB of space only. This is clearly quite low for todays standards.
Also I suppose this confirms the question if we'll be getting 32 GB in Europe, as I seem to have one.
Delete the boatwares and you will gain some space
I don't believe I can as my phone is unrooted as of so far, is there a root for my version of the phone? (Swedish Tele2)
The price difference between the 16 and 32 GB model is no negligible they should just make one version.

O2 exclusive I hear
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I asked an O2 rep instore. They confirmed they will have it (but not yet) - couldn't give me a time frame or anything.
The 32gb one is not on their website and the 16gb one isn't even on their front page. For someone who has exclusivity they really don't look like they care. And their contract deals are insanely expensive on this phone. This is not looking good
Because nobody wants 16gb if non expandable storage with 12gb user availability. This with a camera that shoots 13mp 1080p at 60fps. I mean how much can you record? Like 10min before disk space is low?
Couple of apps, couple of pics, few cd's aaaaand diskspace is gone.
They should have never made a 16gb model. It should have been 32/64.
I am from Belgium and eagerly looking for a new phone cuz the screen is broken from my s3. But I refuse to buy the 16gb model and they do not (yet? ) sell the 32gb version.
Just got word from lg Belgium/Netherlands/Luxemburg that the 32gb variant will never be sold here.
So we can only get 16gb, big marketing mistake.
So I will not buy an LG G2 then... shame, I definitely would have liked the g2.
32 GB only in Denmark.
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

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?

I doubt it'll appear—it's a classic Samsung tune, with every model since Note 2 they've been promising a “Luxury” of whatever version of the same model, always with double the storage. They've never materialized…

A 128GB Note 8 would be brilliant but I'm just happy we're getting 64GB as a base option even if Micro SD is included.
It may be because the 128gb and 256 GB versions in Korea might not have the expandable memory option. Idk

In my opinion the reason Samsung does this is the higher storage options also happen to be the "dual SIM" version. Same goes with the 128gb version of the HTC U11.
I believe they expect you to use both slots for SIM cards and therefor give you more storage space to make up for it.
I personally think this sucks. Yes, the SD is fine for "media" (photos, videos, books, documents etc) but the default "download" folder is internal, most apps place cache on internal, and Games, did I mention Games yet? I would Love to own a 256gb note AND have an SD card for media, but Samsung and HTC disagree with me and think 64gb for apps and games is more than enough.
This when Apple offers 32gb, 128gb, and 256gb Iphones (and the rumors for the soon to be released point to 64,256,512!!!)
Seriously, Android is always about compromises and the manufacturers lecturing us that they know best (region specific storage, RAM, colours, in LG's case DACs, etc) Yes, Android is about choice, just not our choices.

Yes I agree. I could care less about expandable memory if you give me 256gb or more of internal storage. Especially when like you said I have a limited amount of apps I can actually move to my sd card. But I feel like alot of U.S customers actually care about that which is why Samsung justifies keeping it in the U.S market and can get away with the 64gb version. Even though manufacturing wise it probably would have been easier for them to just crank out just a 128gb and 256gb internal storage version

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.

Hi
Any store in Saudi Arabia that ships internationally?
Unfortunately no.
But in UAE there is but not the same freebies , only the wireless AKG speakers.

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 -

What network are you running the SM-G965F on? I want to purchase one from there but can't 100% confirm it will work on Verizon.

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.

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 )
Clove.co.uk said:
*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.

@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 ?

Hello i have owned my galaxy S9+ (SM-G965U1) for about a year now. Problem is that One UI has completely ruined my life and my entire experience with my phone. Back when it ran Oreo it was near perfect.
So i need help figuring out what the best S9+ with a unlocked bootloader is and where i might be able to buy them new that is.
My plan is to buy one with a unlocked bootloader so i will never have to deal with the piece of human excrement that is One UI
Thank you, this was the funniest post in forever. It has ruined your life. Omg, thank you!
Any Exynos model cam be rooted.

Yes believe it or not it has truly made my life miserable. I don't understand why companies try to fix stuff that isn't broken.
To answer your question the snapdragon SM-G9650 varient Is OEM unlockable it is China, Brazil etc basically international version and any of the Exynos
Are I believe.
Exynos is good for development only as long as the official android is upgraded. But it's closed source with sammy proprietary blobs.
I've got a Note4 Exynos and officially it was upgraded to MM. Only because of months and years of miraculous work of a couple of developers, it's working (with a few hiccups) with TW nougat and up to oreo Lineage.
If you want to change the phone and got the cash after 2 years (or 3? ) of major upgrades from Samsung, then Exynos is OK.
As for me the OP7 (pro maybe) can cut a better deal. Huge deving possibility. And ain't got too much money to change the phone too often.
Good luck.

But the one you linked is what I have currently.

So yeah, The package arrived today and it turned out to be a counterfeit reproduction S9+. And i tried to file a claim and Newegg suspended my account. I'm not sure what to do in life itself at this point.
