Ok...I know that they are going to be announcing the note 10.1 inch in about less than a week...but my question is, lets say they announce it next week , so when will it be available for preorder or at least in stores? I just want to make sure I'm not waiting in vain because I really want to get a tablet this month if possible...any advice ...I don't know how samsung does it..does it announce and within 2 weeks have it or do they announce and then months later we can get it???
Really Never Know For sure
The usual time frame is 2 to 4 months, if lucky. If Note 10.1 is to also be a phone, don't expect this unit to be released in America by Verizon, ATT, etc, won't approve a tablet/phone. I would also buy, but would go the way of how I bought my Note and Tab 7.7, buy the international version, costs more, but fully functional, and available several months or more before America, at least that is how this has worked in the past.
I hope I am wrong.
how do u find the international version? and why do they always get it first??!!
Numerous Reasons
Ask Samsung........seriously, depending upon product, the U.S. is usually late in getting. the Tab 7 Plus U.S. was first, but the Tab 7.7, and Note, I got international version months before available in the states, I got my Note on 10/29, just now available at ATT last Sunday, 2/19. The Tab 7.7 I got Jan. 5 of this year, still not available in the States, but Verizon is to have when it is, but no phone capabilities. It will have 4G LTE though. If and when Note 10.1 is available, unless the major U.S. telecom's change their policy, (they won't), the Note 10.1, if it has phone capabilities, phone won't be available in the U.S., so another reason to get an international version.
I have found the best vendor to be able to supply and in the U.S. is Negri Electronics. I have found this company to be trustworthy, very reliable, and ships when they say they will. I am guessing, only a guess, that if and when a Note 10.1 is available, we can get thru Negri as fast, or faster than most any other source. Yes, it may be in a foreign language, but that takes 30 seconds to remedy in settings. The Note was in German, and the Tab 7.7 was in Chinese. Once you change language in settings, then all is as expected. I can't say enough good things about Negri Electronics.

Hello Guys, let anybody know where i can buy the Note 5 for use in Germany? And which Version? SM-N920..?
Thanks
There won't be Galaxy Note 5 for Germany and rest of Europe.
We already know that so, well most of us.
its unfortunate tho..
Maybe the OP wants to know if there are different versions (e.g. with different LTE bands) or region locks and if he has to look for a special version if he wants to import it?
I want to import the note 5. And i search seller where i can buy. But i dont know which Version.
I Know sm-n920a (AT&T) Has the same lte Bands. Verizon not. And also the language Support... AT ebay i found the note 5 in seoul korea
I don-t understand you.
Samsung is saying you-re less of a person than any other person in the world . They are not interested in your money and it has no worth to them and youre running off to give it to them anyway ?
German logic must be like German humour.
No one gets it .

There is a lock region on the device, you cannot import/export Samsung Phones.
YOu can use the N920i Version (Singapur). It hasn't the region lock and it works with all sim cards.
The South Korean electronics giant hasn't confirmed the release date of the upcoming Note device but it is almost certain that it will be unveiled at the "Unpacked 2015" event to be held at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, New York City, on 13 August.In a shock move, Samsung has announced that the Galaxy Note 5 won't be coming to the UK this year, blaming the lack of release on "marketing reasons."
You need n920A for full compatibility
Hi All
September 1st I'm flying to Seoul for holiday and really wanna pick up a Note 5.
Does anyone know where the best place to buy is? Maybe dlight store in Gangnam?
Also do the Korean versions ever get root or roms?
Thanks!
the Delight store in Gangnam, the Galaxy store in Coex Mall... any Samsung mobile retail location. They were fully stocked as of release date as far as I saw last week and this week.
The only caution I would advise is make sure the Korean version supports the LTE band/bands you will need in your home country. I ended up having to buy one in the states because my phone company here uses Band 4, which the Korean Note 5 does not support.
I think the Korean one supports H+ on my current carrier... I can get sims that will work on there though.
I will head to dlight
That should be good enough. Good luck, and make sure to post pics of your Delight spoils! I've been home for 3 days and am already jealous of your trip
I love Korea!! Amazing place.. This will be my 5th time Fly out on tuesday, going to dlight as soon as ive dropped off my luggage lol
Korea is not very tourist friendly. Hard to even buy a sim card for visitors or tourists. If you are Korean with a Korean Passport and local ID then it should not be a problem. I believe that most telecom companies in Korea only sell carrier locked smartphones with contract and you need a local ID to buy one if I am not mistaken. Also pay attention to the 4G LTE bands on smartphone if you do manage to find one that you could buy unlocked. In the city you will notice that even some taxis will not stop to pick you up if they see that you are a white person.
@desiregeek my experience was the complete opposite. It's super easy to buy a SIM card at the airport from olleh or SK Telecom. Also, carrier locking is not as common as it is here...

You can only buy the rental sim card at the airport unless they recently changed the rules. You can not purchase an unlocked sim card at any of their carriers in South Korea. The ones at the airport are sort of like a rented SIM card. In Thailand,Hong Kong,China,Taiwan or pretty much every other Asian country one can get a SIM card at a 7-11 or telecom carrier that is unlocked of which visitors or tourists can purchase for use while in the country.
It's my 5th time in Korea lol. Never had any problems but I can speak Korean too so it helps. Posting from the note I bought now. Just trying to work out how to make a deodexed rom for the S model version

Im also visiting Busan in October and was thinking of picking up a note 5, if I may ask how much did yours cost?
Mine was 1 million won so around 520 I paid but was 64gb. Haha just on the ktx back from busan to seoul now!
It seems Finland might not get the Note 5 at all, so if I want one, I need to pick one up on my trip.
Thanks for the info, I guess you had a nice train ride with your new Note 5, enjoy!
Long time lurker here.
I've been trying desperately to find the international version of the Note 5 (N920i) for a few weeks now. I was about ready to buy one on eBay but hesitated until I knew it was compatible with AT&T, then it seems that all the listings for the 64gb version of the phone disappeared.
I've looked on Amazon and Newegg for options, but no sellers are offering the 64gb variant of the phone (preferably black). There is one listing on Amazon, but it will be a cold day in hell before I drop $1,200 on a device that I will probably upgrade in ~18 months. Some website called World Wide Voltage offers one, but there are too many complaints about them taking orders for items that have no stock.
Does anyone here know of any reputable importers/resellers that I could go through?
Hi,
you can use only reliable online shops that may be (Telco).Many Australians have taken to purchasing handsets outright from online vendors sourcing stock from overseas.A parallel importer often means you you can choose phones which may not be available locally, at all or until later in the year.
I got mine from www.t-dimension.com. Bought from them twice, got my phone within 3 days from HK to Australia.
Hey, I want to buy 64gb version, but I dont find any on Ebay.. just the 9208 ... Only carriers version are available? I'm from ARgentina, but I have a friend in USA that will send it to me so...
Just wondering if people considering buying from never-msrp or those that have bought from them realize they do not offer any warranty on their devices? Literally zilch and not even the manufacturers warranty is apparently honored?
Further, contacted them 6 days ago with couple of questions and no response. Sent a follow up couple of days ago and still no response.
So apart from price wondering if I am missing something here..... They dont honor manufacturers warranty, they dont offer any warranty (unless you buy extra from 3rd party) and they apparently can't be bothered to even reply so they can take my money...Wondering what they would be like then if something goes wrong :laugh:
Is there anyone else people recommend with similar pricing but honors warranty and has good customer service?
I am after the 64gb dual sim SM-N950F/DS and they are selling it for $820 delivered.
Manufacturers typically don't give warranty for grey market devices. Or more accurately, they will only honor the warranty in the market the device was made for, so if you buy a Korean phone, Samsung USA won't honor the warranty but you can still get warranty on it if you send it back to Korea.

Right. Except I read never-msrp will not do that and will have nothing further to do with the process once you have bought it unlike some other sellers that will deal with Samsung in their region to honor warranty for you and ship replacement back to you and so on. Never-msrp hasn't even bothered to respond yet...
In one case, if true, the customer had a Sony phone and Sony USA wouldnt honor the warranty and Sony HK upon being presented the device and ebay/paypal purchase receipt wouldnt honor the warranty either claiming that it was sold overseas and warranty is no longer valid (of course that isn't Samsung so not sure what Samsung might pull especially since you wouldn't have any support from never-msrp or their original purchase receipt...)
Warranty is a concern when you are spending near $1000 or more...
OP, you don't want to buy from that seller anyway. That variant has the OEM unlock time released cancer.

What do you mean by OEM unlock time released cancer? Don't they all take 7 days past activation and usage for the OEM UNLOCK to show up?
Then who apart from Clove is good? Still clarifying with qd_us if theirs shows OEM UNLOCK or not (last response was their's are Taiwan SM-N950F/DS, region free and no one has reported any issues yet).
And one thing I do not get is why don't people flash the XSG firmware on to their SM-N950F/DS (or for that matter the EU firmware or something else)? XSG apparently is confirmed to work and shows OEM UNLOCK and allows Samsung Pay functionality.
i almost bought from that seller but i decided not to because i don't want to deal with nonnsense regarding bootloadder unlock.
I went with the n950n korean version from wondamobile for just 35 dollars more than never-msrp

Wonda's 950f/ds works out to ~$950. Where is their version from? I would guess Taiwan as they are from HK.

it's actually 928 and change, also they only have gold.
I don't know where they get it, or if the bootloader unlock issue is present in their f\ds versions.
So far everyone who bought a korean version has absolutely no problems with unlocking bootloaders.

Factor in the DHL shipping and it works out to $950. This is one big mess. Korean version no issues, EU version no issues if activated in EU first and 5 min call is made, HK/CN version apparently might work, UAE version apparently ok, the U version apparently locked down junk, the SG/TW sourced versions may or may not work (at least TW from never-msrp may not work)....

No, as mentioned here the EU (F model that has been activated with a 5 Min call in the region) and the Korean (N) mode are not infected.

..... The (N) model is best for AT&T (since N has 1900 frequency) , however not so much for T-Mobile since TM uses 1700, which the N models doesn't have.

I've purchased a Galaxy Tab Pro and a S from them before. Devices were both brand new and had no issues so I'm not certain as of the warranty service. But I do believe they offer a limited 30 day warranty or something if the product malfunctions. Like the posters above said, the manufacturer warranty is usually covered by the country the product is shipped from. They sell mostly international variants so it makes sense.

Yeah, they are **** heads. I remember about 7 months ago contacting them vis eBay in respect of buying a Samsung tab s2, their response was sub par at best. I ended up buying it from someone else.

I bought a Note 8 from Never MSRP. So far it seems to be good but I was little worried since the "security seal" on the box is the old white style found on S4 or S5 plus the Ink quality on the security label looked pretty shabby. The colour of the black fades. When I turned the phone on it loaded right away to a loaded phone screen which might also indicate that it wasn't factory sealed. Normally you would have to go through all the initial settings like language and what not first, am I right here ?
So other then that, it does seem like its a legit note 8 as far as performance goes. I am slightly worried that its a really really good fake but everything works so far and I'm using a T mobile sim.
It is a mystery to me as to how this unscrupulous ebay seller never msrp has a 99% favorable rating. I purchased a galaxy s8 plus, and when it arrived I noticed the ebay listing stated there was an adapter included. This aroused my suspicion that this was an international version, with no manufacturer's warranty. Amazon sellers clearly indicate when items are international version/no u.s. warranty. Not sure why ebay does not demand this kind of transparency. I returned the phone in an unopened box, and in addition to shelling out $10 in return shipping fees, I had to wait 8 days for a refund. Stay far away from this seller, awful experience
I got mine from amazon for 700ish from my company. It comes with no warranty either but I'm not worried about it. I'd go for the pixel 2 xl instead of the note 8. It's def not worth 850 of your hard earned money. If it was 600ish sure.
Bought the Samsung SM-N950U for $649.99 at Amazon today. 300 bucks combined savings, incl. $100 amazon prime membership.
The note 8 from never MSRP is going for 539.99. I bought an S8+ from them a year ago and tempted to get the note. Is it silly to upgrade from s8+ knowing the 2 phones are almost similar?

Tough decisions:laugh:, always too many choices, they also ran promotion for LG V35 ThinQ $599.99, but I realized they slipped some amazon software into that phone and I really wanted that stylus.
I want to buy a galaxy note 5 from Amazon while I'm in America and use it in a different country where I live.
The device I am considering is the sm-n920a. I've checked the cellular bands and they Mach.
I'm have a few questions since it is not the international version or the sm-n920c that is sold in my country.
1. I heard people saying that it won't fully support my language since it is an att phone. It seemed odd to me because I thought that if the international version supports the language any module should.
2. Will there be a problem with OTA updates?
3. At the price point of 360$, is the note 5 really the best phone to buy?
Thanks

I have an unlocked AT&T Note 5 and an international one, both work perfectly even though I live outside America. And about updates I am not sure but you can always search for custom roms with the latest features for the device on the forum. And overall the n5 is a great phone in my opinion, has everything you need in a phone and more.
