Question Is a52 5g dead or something?? - Samsung Galaxy A52 5G

How is that even make any sense that a52 got a lot of attention and developments compared to the a52 5g? Same for the a52s 5g, it is better than the a52 5g but was released months after the a52 5g. Why does a52s 5g gets lot of attention and a52 5g gets none? There is no custom recovery development going on and neither custom roms and it has been a year since it's release. The forums of a52 5g are pretty empty, it is like almost nobody use this phone.

Well I can't speak for everyone but I preferred A52 4G since 5G isn't even a concern for me and I think the 5G was more expensive than the 4G variant on release so it didn't make sense to go for the 5G variant. And now I'm seeing the a52s 5G variant getting some attention. I personally got it since it dropped so much in price, it cost me way less than what the 4G variant cost me at launch. When comparing A52 5G and A52s 5G, I think the s variant wins so it doesn't make any sense to go for the regular 5G variant.
TLDR; It didn't make much sense to buy at launch and it doesn't make sense now
Keep in mind that in general, Samsung phones don't see a lot of development compared to other brands.

The difference between the 5g and the 4g versions are not only about the network difference. They have different hardware too(different processor for example, a better one. Also a better gpu). The price has it's reason

Development difference International vs North American variants?

I just want to know how different the development will be for the international version compared to either the Canadian/US version (which presumably will be the same with S4 & 2GB RAM). People are posting that Samsung will give the international version updates earlier but is it that much sooner than other variants (or do the NA variants not get updates at all)?
I'm not sure which to order since I'm from the US (I have no use for LTE but price and ease of warranty are factors).
This is my problem too, which to get?. I'd love to have more development options, but at the same time I want faster speeds.
At a glance it appears that the internation one is going to be HSPA+ 21Mbit/s connections. But the LTE North American models will have LTE support and if LTE isn't avalible in your area then it defaults down to DC-HSPA 42Mbit/s not to mention the 2GBs of ram.
This is a hard choice :/
Both will have great development. Look at the intl note and the north america note for example

I also don't know which version to choose... Less pricy 2gb dual core with LTE or international with more support quadcore better GPU but less ram and no LTE...
I wanna know which one is better for multitasking, also if the battery life is better on the dual core or not and if 2gb vs 1gb really matters...
Id choose the usa version but i just hate that awful carrier logo on the front of the phone, it ruins all the beauty!

Thankfully my carrier doesn't brand there model number on the phone itself. I think they do this because they sell there phones in an unbranded/unlock versions to other non-major tel companys in Canada (don't know if this holds true for the SGS3 when it comes out though)
I've made my decision I want more ram and faster connection speeds through LTE and DC-HSPA. So now I'm just waiting for the thing to release lol. Also waiting to hear back from them if i can get it cheaper as an upgrade, otherwise their full price will be $599

Don't mean to drag this back up, but I was going to create a new post until I found this one.
I am in the same predicament. I'm wondering if I should get the Intl or US model.
I'm on T-Mobile, and they will be refarming their PCS band for HSPA+. I wonder if it's a safe bet to get the Intl model and rely only on a single 1900 MHz band for data, or go with the carrier's model and enjoy the potential of 2 HSPA+ bands (1700/1900)...
Plus, there's the development support issue as well. I've enjoyed my Intl SGS2 when I was on AT&T because of all the developer support - love the mods and the ROMs. Then I moved to a GNex when I went to TMobile.
My ideal ROM situation: CM9 ROM, stock Android Experience ROM, and modified Samsung ROM (themed to look/feel like ICS so I can keep the camera app while enjoying the stability and the highly optimized framework). I love using Titanium Backup and ROM Manager to basically change ROMs without loosing much data whenever I'm in a different mood.
I'd like to eventually have 1 SGS3, 1 iPhone (the next model, esp when TMobile's PCS band gets refarmed), and I'll keep my GNex for shiz and giggles.
Just not sure which to get - both seem to have their pros and cons.

QUESTION FOR ANY USERS with International Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950F or SM-N950F/DS)

My note 4 got broken and I am considering an either a Note 8 (or Note 9) to upgrade too. My dilemma is between having a fully unlocked boot-loader (I like custom roms etc) and all the customization that affords VS the US Notes that are boot-loader locked and have limited ROM support (if they even do) BUT have Zero Issues with Carrier aggregation.
So my question is...to those of you that have the international versions that don't do proper carrier Aggregation (yes I read the 50+ page thread and a few other threads as well)...and may have limited speeds and not stay connected as well in fringe areas as the US version....if you had it to do again would you buy the international one again for the modding ability or is/was the trade off of the carrier aggregation too problematic?
SM-N950F and SM-N950F/DS are Exynos-versions so these doesn't support well Carrier Aggregation combinations used in US. I don't have data from Note 8 but i have many other devices listed in cacombos.com. Exynos devices modem can't be edited like Qualcomm devices.
Thank you Olkitu, I ended up going with the snapdragon one, but I did bookmark your site for future reference as my wife's phone will be needing replaced in the next few months as well.

Do any 5G phones exist in the USA that can be rooted, not lose 5G, and work on Verizon?

After wading thru oceans of stuff, there seems to be no conclusive answer.
I've seen nothing to indicate a USA S20 Note 5G has actually been rooted, and the idea of buying a Note 8 is not thrilling.

Question Realme GT 2 Pro (globale model) USA carriers compatibility

I'm traveling to the US soon, and i find out most companies like t-mobile verizo and at&t don't list the phone as compatible with their networks, and more over, when putting the IMEI on those websites, it just says not compatible.. any of you has any experience in the US with this specific phone? Global model ofc
I have it here in the US and I use t-mobile. I do not get good service and do not have VOLTE or VOWIFI. I did get missed calls time to time but it still worked.
The Realme GT2 PRO has compatibility issues with T-Mobile. I'm currently using mint mobile which is an mvno of T-Mobile and the service is pretty bad. In fact mint mobile says that the Realme GT2 pro is not compatible although it does work... barely. Unfortunately I had to buy Pixel 7 for use at work which is fine because it takes so long to charge that phone I end up using the GT2 pro at night for media and gaming. It's not a band issue as much as US carriers simply don't want to status the software.
Hopefully this will change soon. I haven't tried an att mvno but that's definitely on my to do list as the 5G and 4G band compatibility is better than T-Mobile.
