[Q] Galaxy Note from China, can I buy it ?????

Hello every one
I am a french citizen living in China for one year
I am dreaming to buy a Galaxy Note, but I can buy it only in China, is someone can tell me if it will work properly when I will come back to France ?
If not is there a possibility to change the system at this moment?
Sorry but I am a novice in this matter
Thank you in advance for your help

Yes as long as you buy the GSM version. Not sure if there is some CDMA weird version for the Chinese market.

Agreed, look for the GSM bandwidths, I think the EU's on 900 and 1800.

So go to store and buy it
It has this bands:
GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900
UMTS850, UMTS900, UMTS1900, UMTS2100

Thank you very much
Thank you very much for your help
I have very much appreciated it
Thanks again

Thank you very much for your help. i have a similar question

where are you folks planning to buy?
hey, I'm an American in Shanghai - I've been planning on buying one as well, but it seems the only choices are
a) buy a "brand-new" model, grey-market European version, 50% chance it's a refurb, but can offer local store warranty for ~3280rmb ($520 USD), or
b) buy an official, brand-new one for 4100rmb ($650 USD)
I almost pulled the trigger on the grey-market one, but it just kills me to know that I can get a brand-new NON-refurb for $500 USD through Newegg in the US... arrgh.

I bought mine on taobao from Shenzhen, 1 day shipping. I think that is safer than buyer from a store in shanghai, as the taobao sellers are selling loads of these phones.
Mine had been opened and made chinese even it is a european version. they changed some settings so you'll default to chinese language after a wipe/upgrade, and the samsung keyboard didn't work when I first good it. But after reinstalling european firmware everything is good.
I would stay away from official version because of price and I'm also not sure if all google services work on those.

Moved To Q&A​
Please post all questions in the Q&A section​

Be careful - there are now clones:

yeah - the quote I had for ~3300 was from a taobao seller with a brick 'n mortar store. At least there's somewhere to go if the thing is borked. The "warranty" is through the store and not samsung, but at least they know where (taobao!) to source screens/mobo and claim to give 2 years replacement service should anything go wrong. still might pull the trigger on it... unless one of my friends goes back to the states in the next couple of weeks.
Did your seller offer any kind of warranty?

We try to think we arn't :laugh:

I think you should go for it since your friend is going there anyway and stuff is cheaper over there I believe. Although with all the issues with the device you might want to tell your friend to buy early and check them for defects. With the high demand there's no knowing when Google will release it to other countries. If warranty is something important to you then wait because you will have problems claiming it from Italy.

doesn't asus have worldwide warranty?

Read the warranty leaflet. 12 months international warranty including Europe so Italy would be fine.

Anyone know when will the official European version launched?
I meant outside UK.

Only thing to check is what bands your network provider uses, and verify that the Xperia Z model you buy supports this, the reason I am saying this is that there are many people who are complaining about this.

Yep , I am on Go mobile network and that is no problem. The phone must be Unlocked and Unbranded of course. I think Amazon will be my choice since I encountered no one stating to have bought from Clove.co.uk....

which version do you have? CRR-UL00 or CRR-L09?

I was just given this as a gift. I have AT&T, but it is sim locked to China Telecom. It says 4G is locked by China Telecom. Phone calls, text, and EDGE (2G) work for me with my AT&T sim. If I were to sim unlock it, will LTE then work for me? It is the CRR-UL00 version.
Also curious about rooting and installing google play services. Any advice?

Does anyone know where to purchase one of these in the states? Been looking all over the place with no luck.

i want to buy this aswell (living in USA).

I found the 128gb version availible here. http://welectronics.com/gsm/HUAWEI/...Dgx7U-pfjmFq25GnZoF_EUOocEIn1wvMPsaApEc8P8HAQ
$999.99

At that price I might as well just pick up a flagship phone here and save some money. Haha

Yeah I hear ya! I was looking for something "different " than the typical American phones and found this. Then I saw the price and was like nope. But may I suggest the mate 7. Yeah it's a year old, but still a killer phone. I'm ordering it next week

Yeah the Mate 7 is a killer phone and I have been contemplating it. Let me know how you like it and I'll really consider it. I just want something better than my Note 4.

@ogre del - The above website has ps2 for $219. Wtf!!

That site is insane lol

Found on amazon the 64gb version for 850, or on alliexpress the 64gb version is anywhere from 675-800. I'm contumplating ordering it from allie, but have never dealt with them. Anyone here ever use alliexpress?

Anybody able to order yet for international delivery? Trying to get one here in USA... aliexpress & other seem not to have any yet Even though on sale......

Clove has it and carphone warehouse.

Hi,
I bought a P30 pro, 256GB with a Huawei Watch GT (a "gift") , at 3.dk in Denmark for DKK 5.160 i.e. ~ $ 775 + ~$7 a month more than I used to pay for the network. It is to be delivered next week.
I know nothing about the version no., but hope it is European 432. Dual-sim should be included.
I have been quite happy with my P20 pro, but unhappy with slow very slow updates. But after a year of updates the camera i absolutely faboulous now, which it was not to begin with.
According to our DXO friends in France the P30 pro is the absolutely best on photografing, so I am looking forward to see if they are right there
Good luck
Kurt

So Amazon UK has it for pre-order with delivery by April 6... was able to place an order here in the USA... Funny enough, Amazon France has it as well but won't... I'll see if they scrap my pre-order but in my recent experience with the Xiaomi Mi 9, if the order is in, it charges ok and then its golden... fingers cross. Should get it before April 9th!!!!

It should go through. I ordered the Huawei super car charger from there and it said couldn't be delivered to the US. I got it a few days later. Already placed my order for the P30 pro from Amazon UK.

TMobile of course but yes no wifi calling since its not a phone available in the US even though I heard TMobile overseas has it as an offering. I haven't dig into that aspect to see if I can. I do know that you can always do the the Google voice workaround but really isn't a factor for me currently :angel:

I purchased mine from TechnoLec U.K. and got the unlocked Global / U.K. version for use in the USA. I did not get the best deal, but I didn't want to mess with some of the other people on eBay that seemed a little sketchy. These guys are authorized and they had 100% ratings. Hopefully it works out.

Can you confirm the phone has VOLTE on TMO US?
Place a call with wifi off and see if it still says 4g LTE.
Or download Network Cell Info Lite from playstore and go to the Device + Sim and see if VoLTE capable says "Yes".
Screen shot would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

I believe one is International (VOG-L29) and the other is U.K. (VOG-L09). The bands are the same. Th VOG-L29 is "hybrid dual SIM"
