Hi everyone,
A while ago I developed a nexus 10 dock to be produced on shapeways ( http://www.shapeways.com/model/1085089/nexus-10-bootleg-dock-beta.html ), unfortunately it was fairly expensive to produce/prototype and I never got around to finalising a design that wasn't so expensive.
A little while ago I purchased a 3d printer and have since modified the design to be suitable to print in PLA (rather than shapeway's expensive/solid laser sintered nylon). It basically combines with the MagNector cable (that seems to be pretty popular) to form a charging station for the nexus 10. I'm currently selling it via eBay if anyone is interested:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/331095304620
Also, there is a mini version available now:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/331095303688
And in case that listing expires, I will most likely re-list it on the following account:
http://www.ebay.com/usr/ringerinc
I'm shipping from Australia, but can ship internationally.
Anyway, I thought this might be a thing people here would be interested in, let me know if you have any questions/feedback.

(Unfortunately, since I'm a new member I can't post links here...but if you google "nexus 10 dock shapeways" the original dock should be the first link and in the description there I have a link to the newer version on eBay)
Currently I'm just shipping to Australia (where I'm located) but if there's enough interest I'm happy to organise shipping internationally.
Anyway, I thought this might be a thing people here would be interested in, let me know if you have any questions/feedback.

No, it doesn't come with a dock. But thank you for the promo spam...
Just got one of these. It only took 5 days to arrive in UK and cost approx £23 sterling (£10 + £13 postage). It fits perfectly with my existing pogo cable and is a more than adequate stand in the absence of an official one (which is obviously not going to happen) which would have probably cost £40+. I would definitely recommend.
Hi mate, I am looking to buy one of these from you from eBay. Do you have any more pictures of the various colours ? Particularly the Silver/Grey & the Blue (glow in the dark).
Cheers, I'm in Adelaide.

Glad you like the dock and that everything worked well with postage. Let me know if you have any more feedback after a bit of usage.

Hi, good to hear you're interested. Unfortunately I don't have any shots of anything printed with the silver/grey as I haven't had a chance to use it much yet (I purchased it and it was labelled as silver, but on the spool it looks to me more grey than silver). I've attached an image of the spool though to give you a rough idea.
As far as the glow in the dark blue, I have a shot from a stop motion I was making of the production process (which unfortunately didn't work) so that should give you a good indication of the colour/glow colour.

Hi, unfortunately I'm working on some other projects that are using the printer right now, I will most likely re-list the dock, but probably not until march some time. I'm looking at making a few amendments to it also.
Finally laid my hands on a white note 4 in jarir. Sadly out of stock in less than a day. Also out of stock in extra stores. I have to say a very beautiful phone my note 3 looked ugly next to it but I dont know why samsung didnt stock up there were a lot of potential buyers looking for it. Also did not notice any gap or color shift in the screen. Looks like I will have to stop fantasizing over the edge hehe.
Any saudi owners with one?
Sold out in all stores in mall of dhahran why is samsung sending limited stocks they should know itll be a huge seller here in saudi
I got one from a shop in King Fahad street with an extra SR100. He had 3 sets at that time.
I love it, I root it to change the ugly font and bought an orignal s-view cover (perfect). Now I am happy (CHEEEERS).
hi what colors do they have? will they sell the gold too? whats the name of the shop everywhere i go they have no stocks
There is more stock in almursalat in riyadh from 2800 to 3000
all of them is vietnam made
I'v got black one for my brother priced at 2750 SAR because it's opened box
I will wait for snapdragon version as it seems to have slightly better battery life
riyadh is too far. well more time for me to wait if saudi will release the note edge here or the note 4 gold lol
Great to see thread from KSA....... It is 'OUT OF STOCK' in almost all dominant sellers in KSA (i.e. Jarir/Extra/Al-Haddad etc.) but it is available in local market with little extra price. Battery preformance is excellent on Exynos version. I hope this time Exynos version will have better Android development since it is the International one and distributed on large scale throughout the world.
do the local markets sell out fast too? gold is still not making an appearance
Yep! They are.... Even some of my local friends (Saudis) have told me that executive working in jarir are selling note 4 out in local market with high rate say 100-150 SAR extra ..... And people are buying them like flies over food..he he he.... Gold version is still far away and I believe edge will also take some time. I don't why Samsung has not allocated sufficient amount of set in this region although they have a big market out here.
i think they will sell a load of gold note 4 and note edges here in saudi if samsung did their research lol
They are leader in marketing tricks by promotions and road hoarding. But should keep KSA/Gulf region in their prority list.
Just to update u guys jarir is selling the gold notes but beware coz they sell out really fast (white ones too). Even new note 3 ' s are sold out wonder why samsung is not restocking
pink note 4 available in extra
edit: just now i checked it sold out but you know now where it will be sold lol
Lulu Supermarket Khobar
Lulu supermarket Khobar
Black, white and gold available for 2699.
Made in vietnam i bought a black one..
I got my Note 4 in Jarir, Jeddah a couple months back.
I receNtly wanted to get the new Samsung Smart Watch, but the Saudis took one of the friggin cameras off it! WTF.
Hello, confirmed by Samsung DE price is 399 Euros https://www.samsung.com/de/smartphones/galaxy-a70-a705fnds/SM-A705FZKUDBT/
UK price was confirmed pre-launch as £369, but Samsung UK have gone very quiet on the subject now. Although there is a product page on their site (https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-a70/SM-A705FZBUBTU/ which was actually there from before the start of the big Launch Event on 10 April) there is no pricing or any pre-order option yet.
I do hope it will actually arrive on 26 April as promised, as my main workhorse device has recently died and I'm having to use an old Galaxy S4 in the meantime, and the A70 looks like a perfect replacement for me on paper at least - big screen, big battery, decent enough processor for non-gaming use, decent enough camera as I use a DSLR for real photos, and a 3.5mm jack and SD Card slot.

Yes it's that battery that is the killer feature for me - I had a lenovo P2 and then switched to a nokia 7.1 plus but need that bigger battery...

Same here. I had a Galaxy Note 3 (until it's memory chips sadly gave up on it last month, which was terminal, RIP) and I would always carry a fully-charged spare battery tucked away at the back of my wallet. If the main battery ran low during a busy day's usage, I would pop in the spare and instantly be back up to 100%. No messy cables or bulked-out booster covers to carry, and no recharging time - just zero to 100 in about 45 seconds. Sadly that ship has sailed now it seems.
Also my Note 3 had a bigger screen than any of the supposed "upgrades" that Samsung have released since. And by bigger I mean wider - I really don't care especially about taller/thinner devices with ratios greater than 16:9 as I can't reach any of that upper area one-handed anyway. The strange ratios also make it impossible to properly compare devices by diagonal screen measurement of course, as it would be possible to release a half-inch wide device that is 7 inches tall and still market it as a 7-inch screen! I'll have to live with it now though I guess, just as long as the new screen is not much narrower, width-wise, than what I'm used to (about 7.2 mm).
Oh, and while I'm whinging I also hate the curved-edge screens that Samsung has been making almost a trademark on higher-end devices over the last few years. What is the point, I can see no functional advantage whatsoever?
So anyway, back on topic, I'm hoping the A70 should tick as many of my boxes as possible as a replacement for my Note 3, apart from raw CPU power and wireless charging, and the pen that I never used. We'll see anyway - and hopefully very soon, although it's gone very quiet in terms of availability dates or companies taking pre-orders.

I notice that Samsung are doing a £50 off on the a50 if you take in an old phone (I have a HTC that I paid £10 from Tesco three years ago in a drawer) - hopefully they do the same with the a70...

Where is that A50 offer, online with Samsung? I know some markets have done a "regardless of condition / whether it's working", which would be a good way to dispose of my non-booting Note 3.

Hi,
Yes the OFFICIAL price in EUROPE (with tax included) is €399, for the version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of Internal Storage. I'll prefer for this price to have the 8GB of RAM, but I feel Samsung doesn't likes to sell that model in Europe (like the 6GB of A50).
I hope to see some offerts around €350, as that's a good price for it!
I'm guessing we'll get the 6GB version too. Samsung UK support told me in an online livechat (no confirmed dates from them yet by the way) that the A70 will feature an Exynos chipset, which seems contrary to everything I've read so far (which says Snapdragon 675). I'm guessing they got it wrong to be honest.

Funny because my story is very similar. I had S8 which died, so now I'm back on my old S4 which barely holds any charge and is so slow and janky (with custom ROM). After using S8 for almost 2 years I realized that I hate curved screens with passion. A70 seems like a perfect phone for my needs, I'm actually counting days until it hits stores.

Everyone hates curved-edge screens, but no one wants to admit it. My girlfriend wants to get rid of her S8 (she reminds me every day how much she hates the curved screen :laugh. She's thinking about replacing it with a P30. I'm probably going to replace my LG G6 with the A70. I really miss a bigger battery and screen from my Huawei mate 7 days. Can't wait. Counting days with you! :highfive:
Samsung's customer contact team (UK) still doesn't seem to have any idea when the A70 will be released. They said this morning that they'll email me when they know anything more.
I did refer them to their own Press Release dated 27 March, which clearly states "The Galaxy A70 will be available in the UK from 26th April, RRP £369", see https://news.samsung.com/uk/capture-connect-and-conquer-with-the-new-samsung-galaxy-a70 (unless they redact it anyway).
Hey ho, just don't expect the left hand and the right hand to know what the other is doing.
Andre
I just had a reply in response to my email to the contact address that was given in the Samsung Press Release. They said:
Thanks for your email.
Yes as per the release, the A70 model will be available to purchase in the UK from next Friday, 26 April.
You can find out more information on the product here.

Perhaps they should inform their own online sales team then, and their customer services department, and maybe even retailers?
Andre
I contacted Samsung UK again (via their FB messenger) as there is still no availability info from their own website, nor from any retailers in the the UK, and they replied:
We can confirm that the A70 will be released on Friday, but there will be no pre-order, as this only occurs with our flagship models. Also, we are unable to confirm which retailers will be selling the phone, so are unable to comment on where it will be available.

Fingers crossed then, but it does seem odd for there to be such little fanfare, or even any demo units in stores, just a couple of days before a Samsung release though. I was hoping to go and see Avengers Endgame on Friday morning and buy a new phone in the afternoon.
Andre
Bad news guys, release date for A70 according to Amazon.de is May 15th. That would explain why there is no availability info in UK and elsewhere in Europe because it's still 3 weeks off.

If true, that would mean Samsung's customer service team doesn't know its arse from its elbow. So, would that come as any great surprise to anyone?

When the A50 was launched a few weeks ago there was no fanfare or pre registration, it just became available to buy in stock on the release day.
The concerning thing for me is that most European retailers are claiming they won't be getting stock until mid May and the A50 was launched in most European markets before the UK so it seems strange that they would reverse the release for the A70. And I doubt there would be a 3 week gap between a UK release and a European one.
Just gotta wait and see what happens tomorrow I suppose. Argos was the 1st retailer to stock the A50 when that was released so I'd keep an eye on their website tomorrow

I've been reading from multiple sources that it's tomorrow the 26th in Europe,maybe Amazon won't have it till May or maybe it is May,but I wouldn't be surprised to see it in my local Argos in the next few days,not really bothered mind you,still on the fence with this one

I did message Argos and they said they don't have any info (and they checked with the B'ham store and they have no stocks waiting for release) but sometimes these things just drop onto their system without notice, so to check back tomorrow. Not holding my breath though.
Oh well, going to see Avengers End Game in the morning anyway, so that'll be some consolation if no phone yet.
Andre
Samsung have now re-edited their press release to say "The Galaxy A70 will be available in the UK from the 3rd May, RRP £369". Also Caphone Warehouse have messaged me back to say A40, A50 and A70 all on 1st May. Ho hum.
On the plus side, The Avengers was very good.
Andre
See it on Amazon Germany: https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Galax...+A70+Smartphone&qid=1556293783&s=ce-de&sr=1-3

Hi,
Has anyone had theirs ship yet from the UK Oppo Store? Mines been processing for 3 days, Was expecting it this Thursday as the website says in stock when you pre order.
Yes - some have shipped
I got mine last friday as there's a UK Oppo community on FB run by Oppo and they were offering advanced shipping for the black model if you supplied order number.

Aah cool good to know my black model shipped today should be here tomorrow looking forward to using it, Was going to get the 10 Pro but this swayed it with the build quality and not to mention the awesome ore order bundle is quite amazing to be honest!
Yeah. That swung it for me too. The bundle including the case and charger alone was awesome.
