I wanted the Galaxy Note badly, and I want it with NFC and LTE. Will I be able to wait? I don't know! lol
AAAAhhhhhhhh I have ordered but I want a version of NFC / 4G LTE
I do not want my SGN is out of date
I think I'll cancel my order ! : Fou:
But I do not know if I'll get to reget the coli! : Confused:
I'm in same dilemma. I have already cancelled my order & I would have reordered but the fund hasn't shown in my account. Should I wait? Can I wait? I'm dying have it.

Will there be a digital tv for the Korean version? Like the SGS2.
I don't care about the 4G. Just need it with nfc and tmobile 3g

Here is the application from the FCC Website:
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas...e=N&application_id=977164&fcc_id='A3LSHVE160S
This is the Korean unit that will be compatible with T Mobile I am still not convinced that we could not get 3g on the ones already out there. Again, this will be a snapdragon chip configuration like the SGS2 for TMO
I guess I have no choice but to hold off and get the Korean one even though my impatience is driving me crazy and wants to buy it now. I also saw that somebody posted the radio frequencies of the Netherlands one and it had all the bands but all I have is his picture to confirm it with no actual proof that I could find on the net.

May be I should follow you. But is LTE so special?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I don't want it for the LTE I want it because i'm on tmobile and the korean one supposedly has the same chip as tmobiles sgs2 so I'd have a better chance getting 3g speeds on tmobile with the korean one.
The Korea model will be the first with NFC right? Or is the india model nfc enabled?
Hope this launches soon. I really need a NFC enabled Note ASAP.
So far I just see Korea

1. FCC is USA only governing body for all wireless and wired communications - it has nothing to do with Korea, or any other country. Devices, which are designed for other countries than US do not get submitted to FCC.
2. I have reviewed all RF Exposure docs in that FCC listing like 2 weeks before you posted the link and I assure you there is no LTE radio on board and no LTE frequencies have been tested. Since it's officially confirmed by Samsung ST Telecom's Galaxy Note version will have LTE radio - even if we overlook the mere fact that FCC submission suggests this device is meant for US and not any other country - this device can't possibly be the korean version, since it doesnt have LTE radio.
3. According to the documentation this device doesnt even have 3G radio. It only has GSM, GPRS, WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth.

I hadn't seen this - what kind of processor? Is is faster?
Like a few of you, I've been holding out for the Korea release to pull the trigger. I sure hope it's worth it...
On this Korea topic...
how does SK cellphone prices compare to U.S. and Europe ones?
and is it easy to find such phones on physical stores?
I ask because, tough I live in Brazil, my uncle works in SK, but he flies a lot and wouldn't be able to order and wait for a delivery.
baaj said:

Its supposed to have the same processor as Tmobiles SGS2 and from what I've heard the main reason they went with that processor is because it supports their HSPA+ 42 network the exynos processors don't

Other than different radio bands, are there any hardware difference? A local shop has a N9005 that supports AT&T LTE they claim but I haven't been able to confirm. Debating between this or actual AT&T model. Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks
The N9005 is missing bands 700/1700, so you won't be able to get LTE on AT&T.
Are there different regional versions of n9005? This version appears to be 16g.

From the REVIEWS I've been reading the US carriers will have Snap Dragon 800 processor (Quad Core) 2.3ghz vs. Samsung EXYNOS OctoCore processor running 1.9ghz. Also the LTE (US Version w/ Snap Dragon) will have 4K video processing, even though the NOTE 3 is only 1080P you can "CAPTURE" video in 4K.
With the RIGHT PLAYBACK and DISPLAY equipment you will be in for a treat with the 4K video!! :cyclops:
Has anyone actually tried an N9005 with an ATT SIM to see if they're able to get LTE?
I made the mistake of purchasing one online and it will arrive via FedEx tomorrow or Friday morning.
Not sure but seems like you'll be the first I've come across. Keep us posted, I know I'd like to know. I haven't bought a US Carriers phone in almost 2 years. If I end up buying the ATT variant are you able to uninstall the ATT apps that come pre-loaded? This is why I typically stick to buying international variants but now I'm hearing that international variants won't get LTE (which they never have) so my best shot will be to buy T-Mobiles or ATT's. I don't care about the bootloader being locked because I won't flash any ROMs or even Root for that matter. I just run my custom interface and use the device for the just about every feature it has.

I was quite surprised to learn that the Tab S series of tablets ships with the aging Snapdragon 800. I find it's a bit out of place on a tablet where all other specs are top notch. The reviews I read specifically say the tabet can be sluggish at times when more CPU power is required.
I guess I hold out on my upgrade a bit longer then...

Only the LTE versions come with the Snapdragon 800. Wi-fi gets the Exynos 5420.
how is the 5420 ?
I'm kind of disappointed the UK versions have the 5420 - I find my Snapdragon 800 in my Note 3 phone super quick
is the 5420 just as snappy ? Looks such a good screen on the 8.4 and 10.5 Tab S

Reviewers are saying the 5420 wi-fi versions are noticeably faster than the 800 in the LTE. I believe benchmarks show the same.
The 5420 is amazing. Uses all 8 cores at the same time if needed now. They fixed the memory dump issue found in the previous iteration as well.
The only thing I'm bummed about, is the 5433 ( coming out soon)destroys Snapdragon's 805 SoC .... In benchmarks. I wish that processor was in the new Samsung flagship device. Ugh.
According to all the reviews I have read the opposite is true and they are recommending the processor in
the LTE version as the faster of the two.
I have to run to work but quick google search..Engadget ( which I hate) has this to say..
"If it's any consolation, the as-yet-unreleased LTE models are supposed to use a Snapdragon 800 chip instead of the Exynos 5, so maybe performance will be snappier there."
Snapdragon seems to get the most development too.

Anandtech clearly said Samsung made a poor choice with Exynos. They should have gone 801 or 805.
oh well - and 16gb too for UK version - grrrr
still prob going to get one though
maybe it will handle streaming video better than the Snapdragon (well the implementation of it on the Note 3) - after lots of updates, I still can't get smooth streamed video on my Note 3 - youtube, netflix, Sky, Iplayer etc - yet download to phone first (latter 2) - or play local content and smooth as silk
There probably won't be a 32gb version. Samsung said there'd be a 32gb 8.4 pro and there never was.
I can confirm there are LTE versions with Exynos processor, at least mine is so, bought in Spain (10.5"). I could change it for a snapdragon version though, but I'm not sure if it is worth it.

Thanks for your confirmation arbiskar.
It was rumoured the Tab S would be 5420 for WiFi, and 5420 + Intel LTE Modem for LTE models, that seems to coincide with the reports such as yours, that the LTE models is Exynos based only.
I doubt that Snapdragon based LTE models of the Tab S exist, if the LTE model you purchased is 5420, I'm going to assume they all will be...
Model numbers other than the T700, T705, T800 and T805 would need to exist for Snapdragon variants, so I don't believe we will see Qualcomm chips in any of the Tab S models.
Thanks.
Hi,
I ordered a LTE Tab S, in germany it will release on friday the 11 July. Before I ordered I thought all versions will have the Exynos 5 Octa and perhaps an optional LTE Modem. After my order I saw that the LTE version will be a QSD 800
Now you say thete will be LTE and Octa. Is it real? Do you know what version Samsung will sell in germay? I think I have to wait a few weeks before I get my tab S because I bought it with a LTE Contract and the Provider cant give me an info when they get the hardware from Samsung.
Now I don`t know if I should cancel the order and buy me a wifi version because the octa is better or will the QSD 800 ok too?

Apparently, some people here have the LTE version with Exynos, so I'm not so sure.
They announced a new Exynos processor with LTE integrated for future products, but that doesn't mean there isn't a LTE chip in addition to the Exynos SOC in the Tab S LTE versions.
It would be nice if someone could confirm.
I'm also waiting to see if there will be a 32GB.. and which version to get

Someone from Spain said s/he has an Exynos/LTE device. The Spain Samsung site also has the LTE version listed as Exynos.
The announcement yesterday was for a quad-core chip with integrated LTE, not the 5433 next-gen big.LITTLE chip everyone was expecting. Without knowing the GPU of the chip announced yesterday it's hard to say where in the fold it fits (high-end, low-end). There's nothing that's ever prevented Samsung from using Exynos with a stand-alone modem it's just that S-800 with its integrated modem is cheaper. Maybe that's what they're doing in Spain. That or it's a typo and the aforementioned owner "thinks" s/he has Exynos LTE. Everything I've read indicates the S' are using the same S-800/5420 architecture of all Samsung's previously released high-end tablets. So I'm going with typo until someone posts a CPU-Z (available in Play) read out which will say specifically what chip a device is using.
We know there are S-800 SM-T805's because reviewers have tested them. It would be extremely odd that Samsung would give the same model number (Spain's SM-T805 also) to two devices with totally different architectures. They never have before. At a minimum they'd append a letter to it (EG: the N10.1-14 LTE with 700MHz bands sold in Latin America is the "P-SM605M."
As for S-800 being long in tooth, it's not really. The CPU is more than adequate for the workload. Here's a slide from Qualcomm saying 85% of apps don't use two cores better yet four. And the majority of apps never leave the A7 core on 5420.
The challenge is the enormous amount of pixels being pushed on large QHD tablet displays. S-801 uses Adreno 330 just like S-800 so until some SoC with a more powerful GPU is released (released = shipped in a production product) Adreno/Mali is the best we've got and the differences between them performance wise aren't that significant (Mali's about 10% weaker than Adreno when maxed out).
New member here.
Received today my Tab S 8.4 LTE (SM-T705) sold here in Finland. And it is indeed an Exynos 5420.
I don't have a Micro-SIM card for it yet, but it certainly is the LTE version. Does someone know how to check the LTE chip version?
Took captures with CPU Z, but I can't apparently post outside links yet. See them here: pentsin.portaali.org/samsung/ along a photo of the box also claiming 1.9GHz Quad-Core + 1.3GHz Quad-Core.

Aussie model is the Snapdragon 805 (source).
$949 its very expensive than note 3. I remember i bought note 3 for $740
Sent from my SM-N9005
No, it's cheaper than the RRP of the Note 3 which was $999AUD. That means stores could potentially sell it even less at launch than what we paid for the Note 3 if you look around and find the best deal. And no offence but I doubt you got the Note 3 on launch for $740 without a trade-in or staff discount at a store, maybe a month later when the price dropped perhaps.
guys you were right, Australian site is selling it for $969.99 and has in stock while samsung is planning to release in Australia on 17th October.

Not anymore, the latest big little set up from Samsung now supports lte cat-4 and yes it will support all AUS lte frequencies.
EDIT: So what will everybody choose, Snapdragon is the default Aussie device and supports the upcoming cat6 4G?
On the other hand it is speculated that the Octa version may be able to utilize 64bit processing which may be usefull for Android L.
4G. (LTE Cat.4 150/50Mbps) Octa or 4G (LTE Cat.6 300/50Mbps) Quad Core.
My contact says Intellichoice will stock for RRP of $999.00
but also said will go on sale on the 22nd...

thanks for providing such useful information, i am shocked if 64 bit is coming in note 4 then it would be increasing speed than snapdragon one and its going to be a big deal
note: Price drop on provided link now its $929 lol if price drop remains in the current ratio i bet, note 4 would be around $650 in near future lol just kidding

Does anyone know which bands the international version of this phone supports?
Thanks!
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app
Nobody knows, waiting on the same thing, right now some stores in china are selling a "international version" of the phone but is the same phone just with CM12.1 and only have the LTE bands supported in china, not the ones we use in USA, so unless they release a US specific version LTE will not work on the US.
I tired to contact ZUK sales to confirm the bands, but no reply from them.
zuk.hk only shows chinese bands, but I can't believe they would release a phone to international markets without proper bands. That would be like shooting their own legs.
The chinese version would work for me though, only "semi-needed" band would be 4G band 20 (800MHz), which is quite new in Finland and used mainly outside bigger cities. Price of Z1 though is a killer, even though it is not as high spec'd as OnePlus Two, it is still an upgrade for OPO with cheaper price tag...
The only spec that the OnePlus 2 has higher than the Z1 is the CPU, but I prefer a SD 801 way more than a SD810 and his heating problems

What I've heard is that SD810 doesn't heat so much with the OnePlus 2, but maybe that's because it's underclocked (or that's what I've heard).
Other than that, they are quite similar. OnePlus 2 has 1GB more ram in the 64GB version though, but who needs 4gigs in a phone, really.... =)
But for me, ZUK Z1 seems like a good choice with bigger battery, USB-C 3.0 and cyanogen os out of the box. If I would buy these phones now, it would be (in euros):
OnePlus 2: ~425eur (incl. shipment) ~476USD
ZUK Z1: ~293eur (incl. shipment) ~328USD
hmm, not a hard choice
These are the bands:
TDD-LTE （bands: 38 39 40 41）
FDD-LTE (bands: 1 3 7)
TD- SCDMA (bands: 34 39)
WCDMA (850 900 1900 2100 MHz)
CDMA2000 (800MHz)
GSN/EDGE(850 900 1800 1900 MHz)
CDMA (800MHz)
There are quite a few reviews out now from people in the states. I saw one from zdnet this morning. And another from android headlines. It looks like they tried testing the device on T-Mobile and att and lte was not supported. From what I gather they got early release test devices that were in fact the international variant. So it looks like no lte for the states which is a major deal breaker. Otherwise this would have been the perfect phone for me.

My only hope is that they are testing the Chinese version with the International software..
There is no point in selling the international version to the US if it misses lte bands altogether..
I also hope that the new Zuk coming in January with the new Snapdragon will support all bands...
Is it me or all these international /Chinese brands always build the almost perfect phone? They get so close and mess up on the important stuff...

I was thinking the same thing. However I don't think missing the mark is just limited to the Chinese for example. The blu xl that just got released would have been absolutely perfect had it not been for it being 6 inches and bigger than the nexus 6! It is everything the new moto x pure is plus a finger print sensor for 349 US. Why in the hell they would stick with the sweet spot that everyone else is going with between 5.2 and 5.7 inches in beyond me. But yes lots of companies so close to the perfect phone this year. I can live without NFC even though I would really like to use Android pay. But no lte in the US is an absolute deal breaker.

The blu xl that just got released would have been absolutely perfect had it not been for it being 6 inches and bigger than the nexus 6! It is everything the new moto x pure is plus a finger print sensor for 349 US. Why in the hell they would stick with the sweet spot that everyone else is going with between 5.2 and 5.7 inches in beyond me. But yes lots of companies so close to the perfect phone this year. I can live without NFC even though I would really like to use Android pay. But no lte in the US is an absolute deal breaker.

Agreed.
Another example of a smaller brand getting almost everything right with the blu xl.
Blu has tons of phones and for their international debut they bring out this size "monster"..

My only hope is that they are testing the Chinese version with the International software..
There is no point in selling the international version to the US if it misses lte bands altogether..
I also hope that the new Zuk coming in January with the new Snapdragon will support all bands...
Is it me or all these international /Chinese brands always build the almost perfect phone? They get so close and mess up on the important stuff...

Most likely they did test Chinese version with CM12.1 installed (not Cyanogen OS). There's bunch of sellers on Aliexpress that provide this phone with CM12.1 or similar ROM inside and Google Play also.
Still no confirmed information from Lenovo, ZUK or whatever, which brands are included in the "international" model. I agree that Chinese bands are a huge showstopper for US, but mainly OK for EU. Some bands missing, but nothing huge.

Well I've contacted not less than 5 of the top sellers and none of them have it in stock!
Do you know anyone who has it!?
