US Variants

Can these roms be used for some Us variants. The specs seem the same.

How can you say the specs seem to be the same when they are COMPLETELY different? The only thing the same is the ram & LTE but even the LTE bands are all different... The US variant only has Dual Core Snapdragon when the I9305 is a Quad CORE Exynos
Different different and Yehh ummm DIFFerent

There are US variants of the M3, especially for T-Mobile. Calm down.

So your saying there are I9305 being sold in the US on Plans? I am sure US t-mobile has the 1900 band but thats not LTE, I wouldnt think they would sell these on a contract knowing the LTE wont work.. Unless there is a whole new version with Exynos Quad/2GB ram and runs on the american LTE? Which one is this?
I have heard of someone in america using the I9305 but it was the European/Australian Variant. And there is the I9305T which is Telstra Australia Variant and another European company has there own model the I9305N... But yeh I never heard of America having there own Model of the I9305.
Edit: when the op mentioned At&T it triggered the snapdragon thought lol which i know are pretty different, and it is why i said they were, And I was calm by the way I seem to use caps when i want to emphasize words

This is the LTE model being sold in US?

This isn't the US model as it doesn't exist here yet. But it looks like it's using the Intel LTE modem which should support US bands. Anyone willing to import it? Or just wait for AT&T to carry it. Hopefully soon.

I am waiting for the 10.5 LTE on Verizon. Since the WiFi versions are getting great reviews, I was hoping it would be available by now.
I spoke with a manager at a Verizon store who said they just launched the Z2 tablet, and they like to space out tablet launches. I found it curious that they had so many Samsung models out, it was hard to keep track of them all.

Note 4 Exynos 5433 Vs. Snapdragon 805

I plan on upgrading to the Note 4 from my SGH-T889 on the Magenta Network (T-Mobile) but im stuck on which variant to get. All U.S. models are Snapdragon while others regions are Exynos. Im wondering if I should get T-Mobiles (Snapdragon) or International (Exynos)
■Exynos Chipset Specs:
CPU
4x A53 Cores at 1.3 Ghz
4x A57 Cores at 1.9 Ghz
GPU
Mali T760 at 700Mhz
Additional Info:
Its 8 cores, runs in 32bit mode but is 64 bit. It is built on a 20 process. It has better battery due to big.LITTLE configuration.
■Snapdragon Chipset Specs:
CPU
4 cores at 2.7 Ghz
GPU
Aderno 420 <===(hehe 420)
Additional Info:
It has a faster sigle core speed, better than the Snapdragon 800, only runs in 32 bit.
I don't know too much about this chipset.
According to various(that I have seen) benchmarks the Exynos configuration outperforms the Snapdragon in everyway. But I hear that there isn't much [custom rom support] for the Exynos chips. Im also considering the fact the Note 4 might be considered in the lineup of getting Android L which is a 64 bit Operation.
Tell me what your plan and reason of choice.

Also can you help me link this to the other Note 4 Q&A Fourms, thank you.
Because they are by the carriers

Get the 805. Its faster and hasore development support. The exynos ones usually don't get ROMs and kernels for months. Oh, and the battery is usually slightly better.

I still haven't figured out whether the Exynos version will work on Tmo and give me fast internet speeds. I am currently using the Exynos Note 3 on AT&T and am stuck with their H/H+ Internet. It's not slow by any means, but having LTE would be a bonus. I'm unfamiliar with Tmobile's non-LTE speeds since I haven't switched to their network yet.

T-Mobile 4g LTE speeds I think is 11.2 Mbps, which is still faster than AT&T

If you go international then your going to suffer on connectivity with the tmobile network.
Tmobile just bought up new frequencies that will allow for great building penetration and more high speed lte for cheaper and even in rural areas...the tmobile(and prob even at&t) note 4 is one of the only phones so far that can take advantage of these new frequency bands.
Also tons of amazing developers have tmobile and tend to stick with it....
I doubt much of the 64 system features will even be exploited right off the bat with android L considering hardly any phones even run 64... once it's more widespread then you'll see system updates that really utilize the system.... guessing that's a couple years out though

Doesn't the international version have the same antenna bands as the US meaning that it will get LTE.

The HSPA or whatever, that one is like 12mbps. But LTE in my experience is 30mbps. That was a year ago in a small town, I'm sure it's at least as fast if not faster in this slightly bigger cityish area.
But I'm wondering the same thing as the OP: will the factory unlocked international model support all the same bands on the Tmo network as the Tmo model?

From what i gather tmobile uses 1700/2100 MHz AWS for LTE
The Exynos version doesnt have the 1700 band, so i guess no LTE?
Debating what version to get and i want FULL LTE in USA and maybe Japan.

N950F/FD on T-Mobile LTE

Just got my N950F/FD
Put my sim in and only connects on 4G
Used LTE discovery and it sees the LTE. But the icon on top does not turn to LTE.
Mobile settings also does not have option for LTE, only 4G/3G/2G
Went in to T-mobile today to have the sim card replaced with no success, still stays at 4G
Anyone have same problem or any suggestions?
Thanks!
Baseband Version: N950FXXU1AQHB
Build Number: NMF26X.N950FXXU1AQI3

Not sure where that model is from though if it's a import they typically only say 4g. That's lte in other countries. Best to look at network status and see if it says your connected to lte network.

Indeed, my Samsung Tablet S2 LTE international model shows only 4G on the USA T Mobile network, but its actually connected to LTE. For some reason in USA they use LTE symbol whereas the rest of the world notes it at 4G.
Im assuming like most other things, its all about making things sound bigger and better LOL

Thanks so much for the answers! I Will have to do a speed test... connection sucks at my apartment! LoL

Look in settings> about>SIM status. That will tell you. See mine for example.

T-Mobile 'Gigabit' LTE support?
Does anyone know if this specific Note 8 model, SM-N950F, supports the new 'gigabit' LTE promoted by T-Mobile and Qualcomm? Supposedly, only the S8 family, including Note 8, and the latest LG flagship support this gigabyte spectrum; but since the N950F has the international chipset by Samsung (Exynos?) compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset in the other models, will this still work? If anyone can verify

did you figure it out. I am planning to get the same phone and want to use it with t-mobile

Turns out the international model runs on Samsung’s own Exynos processor, NOT the Qualcomm Snapdragon which does support gigabyte LTE, at least in the States on the T Mobile network for now

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-9600

I want to buy Note 9 128GB Dual SIM Snapdragon version. This version is not available here in Bangladesh. Only Note9 SM-960F/DS is available. Which is Dual sim 128GB/256GB with Exynos CPU.
Any suggestion from where I can purchase this Snapdragon Dual SIM version of Note9? Also need to know how I can be confirmed whether it will work in my counties network (GSM, 3G/4G LTE/VoLTE).

1) As for compatibility,it would help to know which network(s) you plan on using.
2) As for where to buy,the world's your oyster. As to single or dual SIM,most of the listings I've seen for the SM-N9600 (Snapdragon) are Dual-SIM,you'd have to verify that w/the seller.
3) Also,which RAM/Storage configuration are you interested in?

Compatibility definitely isn't a problem.
IDK the particulars regarding bringing your own (compatible) device to Grameenphone.
Barring no policies against it,IDK if the phones they sell have carrier-specific items that'll only work on their phones (software/firmware related restrictions).Wi-Fi Calling/VCo-LTE/VisualVoicemail come to mind.......
With all of that said,here's a seller on e-Bay that I would recommend (hoping you'll be in the US long enough to take delivery):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Samsun...Ee_4PJXup8lvPKfZtoNA:rk:3:pf:1&frcectupt=true
(30 day warranty/return policy with this seller,you can check the other sellers for better warranty/warranty options).
Finding US retailers that sell this version of the Note 9 are virtually non-existent ATM,but,that will likely change in another couple of months (B&H Photo/Video comes to mind).
Amazon (USA) has 'em,but,they come without any warranty whatsoever.
