It seems that you can now pre-order this phone SIM free from Unlocked Mobiles for a 3rd October delivery, which is sooner than what some are expecting.
I am not aloud to post links on this forum yet it would seem, so go to Unlocked-Mobiles dot co dot uk and then select the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in the Model drop down box at the top of the page.
Seems exspensive, about 1000 USD after tax or 750 EUR.

They listed it right after the announcement so I suspect both the price and the release date are subject to change.

Media Markt / Saturn in Germany - can be ordered now for 700 €. In stock on November 1st.
Still too expensive. I counted up to 650 at most.
Price will drop a bit till then. 650 still a lot (for not-iPleople )
I paid £630 for my Note 3 on release last year... 5 weeks later people were picking it up for £580 or so, price will drop it always does.. I'm toying with it.. Not a major Samsung lover these days though. So will be a tough decision.
I found some prognosis of the price searcher. It says Note 4 will drop significantly in first 3 months, like previous ones:

Yeah it will be 40% cheaper after Xmas.
After my N3 experience I am reluctant to spent that kind of money again on Samsung.
N4 is only worth £350-400 at most.

Well UK Samsung store availability is 9th October only if you pre order.
850 euros in France
First shops are showing a price of 850 euros. Doubt that a lot of people will pay that price. Samsung is playing the game of Apple!
Should be around 600 euros to be a success. Note 4 does not bring enough plus compare to Note 3 and has lost USB 3 which does not make sense to me! That was of a big help mainly with huge SD Card it can support and huge video files you can capture...
I predict the price will drop faster this year thanks to the iphone 6 plus

This is all very conflicting. The UK launch is set for the 10th of October, I know that the Experience Stores often do a special opening the day before which ties in obviously with the 9th but this information along with pre-ordering isn't anywhere on their websites. at £599 it appears to be more expensive than many other price quotes too.

I am talking about the OP quoting a £599 price. Where did you get your £629 price from? I realise waiting 3 months will be cheaper obviously! But Clove Technology for example, are quoting a £575 price Inc VAT which again is all conflicting.

I also noticed that only the Samsung pre-order allows purchase of the gold/bronze version (the one I ordered). Other sites such as Clove and Amazon Germany only offer the black/grey and white options.
I still find it bizarre that the price of the Note drops everywhere but Canada after launch. The Note 3 has stayed at $750 since launch here. Good for early adopters at least.

Thanks. That makes it clearer. Though why Samsung can't offer better deals to pre-orders I don't know. I think it might be better to wait a few days and save a lot of money.

Most of us who pre-ordered are a little peeved to say the least with how pre-orders were handled. After reading threads about quality issues, etc., with those able to buy from B&M last week, I'd like to know what people's impressions are of the device who ordered from the Play Store.
Edited thread title for clarity...
Did Google hold back to fix last minute issues? Were these a different batch than the retailer-reserved units? We can only speculate.
Most of us will receive the device tomorrow it seems. I personally will not be able to open mine until I return home from business on Friday, but there will be thousands waiting for that UPS guy to show up!
The purpose of this thread, fellow Play Store buyers, is to post your impressions, especially on issues like the left side screen clip, ghosting, flickering, yellow spots, battery life, etc. I'll be adding mine on Friday. Hopefully the vast majority of us have defect free devices. If yours is perfect, post that as well.
What happened? I ordered mine on the 13th, which I guess wouldn't be preorder since it came out that day. lol
I haven't even received a shipping notification yet... No way anything is happening anytime soon, it seems.
Really ticks me off, I have to admit!
Why would I ever want to buy from Google Play again, if other (brick & mortar) stores have already sold out a few days ago?
Besides, it makes me realize how much more professional Apple handles these roll-outs. And I thought only Verizon stinks (see Galaxy Nexus roll-out).

Well, I can honestly say I'm happy with my device. It seems perfect to me, no defects as far as I can see. It may have taken some time to get here, but I'm very happy with the quality.

Be more specific next time. Seems your whining about how your order was processed and being pessimistic about the condition you'll get the device in. Even you say you won't be able to open it for a week.

Got a C6 from Gamestop this Saturday with no issues at all. More happy with the quality of the N7 out of the box than my previous Asus 201 tab
Way to go on reading skills there. Simply read the post and it is clear. My device will be at my house tomorrow, as it will be for thousands of others that ordered from the play store. Whether I'm there or not I open it until 3 days later is irrelevant. I would have created or posted to a thread like this regardless.
QC is a legitimate question to ask for a brand new device and there are some mysteries about this launch that make it doubly valid to find this out.

Gotcha. This should help to see if there's any pattern to QC problems. At this point I'm guessing it's just random though since they are probably all C6's.
I'm very disappointed by the Play store.
1. Stores were able to sell their stock earlier than Google.
2. The $25 credit sounded like an exclusive, which is why I pre-ordered, but looks like every N7 has the credit regardless of purchase location.
3. Shipping cost, why am I paying $19.99 if I can order the same device somewhere else with free shipping and still get the credit.
Thinking of cancelling my order tomorrow and waiting to buy in-store or from another online retailer.

Shipping box size and how well packed
No I have not received mine yet, but I am asking from those that do to included a description of packaging for all of us (from NZ and AUS) ordering from Google Play USA to determine cost of freight forwarding and/or whether to get them to re pack or not.
Air freight internationally is often charged by volumetric weight this is determined by size not actual weight. We know the Nexus 7 UPS states shipping weight is 1.6 or 1.7lbs.
Can anyone give the size of the shipping box? I estimate from youtube video to be 10 x 7 x 5 inches, can anyone confirm? If so this is a volumetric weight of 3lbs.
Also can someone comment on how well it is packed?
I pre-ordered 2 units from play store as soon as the page was live, I was able to buy a n7 from a B&M store yesterday and I have no word on the status of my deliveries yet from google. I'll post again once I receive the shipment of 2 to let you know if there are any discernable differences.
It's a complete rip, but Daily Steals apparently has stock of Nexus 4's for $499:
http://mobile.dailysteals.com/
MODS: Please collapse this along with the "Nexus 4... Round 2" thread. I apologize for the inconvenience.
List price $799? Really? Assholes...
Lol yep, it's a steal all right. Just for them, not us
Got my galaxy nexus through them. Was the UK model and at a decent price but they are very shady and it took a month from order to get to my door and the shipping part of it was only two days of that. Oh wait a minute, kind of like ordering this phone off the play store...
You can buy it for the same price in a TMobile store tomorrow.

Yeah but sadly we can't, at least not right now.
I ordered mine on eBay from a guy from Germany who managed to buy 2 when they went on sale.
Paid €440 for an 8GB version *sigh* but I'm really fed up with my SIII so it's worth it!
Daily Steals is a legitimate company. I am not saying that they should be charging $500 for this, but I am saying if you order from them you will get it. Be warned however, that it will take 2-4 weeks before you get what you ordered. They are the slowest shipping company I have ever bought from. So, with that being said, by the time you get your Nexus 4 from Daily Steals, it will more than likely be back in stock at the Play Store for $350 +tax and shipping and you will be kicking yourself.
How the HELL did they get stock??? That's pretty shady. The price, as compared to eBay, really isn't that much. Yes, I am aware of the MSRP, but after tax you are paying a ~$100 premium. Worth it for everyone? No. Some? Yep.

Don't expect a warranty if you by from dailysteals. I got my Galaxy Nexus from dailysteals before the play store started selling it directly. They advertised a one year warranty. Took forever to ship. When I cracked the screen Samsung refused to help me because it was the international version. Had it been the playstore version they would have replaced the screen for $200.

So when they say daily steal, they mean from you right?
They most likely don't have stock and will order the amount sold and then ship to you. They probably have a connect somewhere in the supply chain.
I would ask if they actually have stock.

New Nexus 5 owner here. I was a Nexus 4 owner until yesterday. I sold the N4 (8GB) to my co-worker for $200.
Well... I went yesterday to my local Best Buy (Laredo, TX) and went to the Mobile section and this (pretty) lady was at the desk. I told her that I wanted to get a Nexus 5 without a contract, cash. She took the keys and opened a drawer behind her and took the N5. I asked her for the price and she told me it was $450. So, I opened the browser on my phone and searched the N5 on the Google Play Store and told her that Google was selling the phone for $350 and if it would be possible for them to price match the phone. She told me that it was possible. She took my N4 and verified the information. She called the manager (a rocker-tattooed kinda guy) and he authorized the price match. They have to put the store to be matched as Other.
Success!
My recommendations. Be polite. Just act casual and don't be nervous.

Yes, they do match prices of other online stores, but the list of the stores they match is limited. The Google Play Store is not included, so, this is why the price match of the Nexus 5 is YMMV.
From Best Buy:
"Amazon.com, Apple.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, Frys.com, hhgregg.com, HP.com, HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Newegg.com, OfficeDepot.com, OfficeMax.com, Rakuten.com Shopping, Sears.com, Staples.com, Target.com, TigerDirect.com and Walmart.com. We will match prices between our stores and BestBuy.com®. We will also match prices post purchase if we lower our price within 15 days of your purchase."

Try to flirt or something with the BB employee. I think I did that inadvertently.
Worked for me in Madison Heights, MI Best Buy. Picked up a 16GB Black and sold my 32GB black I had purchased from the PlayStore. I did not need the extra space as I still have 10gb free on my 16gb.
Comes with a Sprint SIM in the phone but no SIM tool, so just used a pin, popped it open and put my AT&T SIM in and have been using it since.
$370.99 out the door after MI 6% tax.

When did you get it? I got it yesterday at 7:00 p.m. approximately.
If you can price match the phone at Best Buy, it is a way better deal than getting it from the Play Store. You don't have to pay shipping and you don't have to wait!
Back on November 20th, I believe (receipt is at home) . I had to stay late for an evening meeting and stopped by BB after reading some posts about people PM to BB on another forum. Took all of 3 minutes or so. Manager came over to authorize the $100 price match to online price with no questions.

I also had a $100 BB gift card for switching my electric company, and I sold my N4 for $200. My out of pocket cost was like $70 after taxes..

I'd go in person and say the same thing. When the sales associate won't listen, ask to talk to the manager. Say the same thing to him. When he won't listen, bring up the Play Store, and go to technical specs. At the same time, go to Best Buy's site or Sprint's site and go to technical specs (whichever will show the ACTUAL specs; BB's site doesn't seem to go into too much detail). Then just Google "Nexus 5 versions" or "Can unlocked Nexus 5 be used on Sprint?" and show the results. Basically show them that everyone knows that the devices are identical except them.
Of course, showing them that is no guarantee that they'll honor the price match. As this whole thread states, YMMV when it comes to them price matching.
What's poppin XDA
My first OnePlus device was the OnePlus One that I got with an invite way back in 2014. That set me back about $380, but now that our dollar is in the gutter, this device is going to be setting me back way more. I will probably be purchasing this device regardless, but before then, anyone have pre-purchase thoughts?
(and yes, the moment I get this device I will be working on bringing up CarbonROM for it)

Hey
I was considering starting a thread for us up North, thanks for starting the discussion already
As you already alluded to one area I am worried about is the retail price for the device given our weak currency.
I do hope that OnePlus continues their staunch commitment to the development community. I love the fact that the OnePlus 3/3T rivals even the Pixel devices for third party ROM support.
If they could add dual front facing speakers would be fantastic, coupled with a large enough battery could win me over. Oooh the wait is is feeling like forever!
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk
My particular Canadian OnePlus 5 requirement is that the phone fully supports Rogers LTE bands. I would be buying an unlocked version and definitely not from Rogers or any other telecom. I am also a hacker who expects all the same flexibility seen from OnePlus for the 3 and 3T. If that is so then it will be a smooth transition from my Nexus 5 which was rooted within my first 10 minutes of fully charging.
Also I'd expect local price not to be different than the exchange rate of the same product sold in the US. No gouging tolerated. I wonder if OnePlus will use Amazon as an exclusive distributor as they are in other counties or you'll still have the option of buying through the OnePlus web site? Sometimes I feel that Amazon.ca price gouges specifically on phones.
Dude, I remember you doing the Temasek build for the opo. I have an OP3, right now but will probably update to the OP5, once out. Which Rom are you building for now. Just Carbon Rom or others.? Also any thought on bringing EAS to OP5. I know the main dev. Zach or RenderBroken, which ever name you want to go by is planning on buying and developing for the OP5.?

What's poppin XDA
My first OnePlus device was the OnePlus One that I got with an invite way back in 2014. That set me back about $380, but now that our dollar is in the gutter, this device is going to be setting me back way more. I will probably be purchasing this device regardless, but before then, anyone have pre-purchase thoughts?
(and yes, the moment I get this device I will be working on bringing up CarbonROM for it)

Hey, I actually didn't build temasek but I did Pure Nexus and SlimSaber with Sultanxda's CAF trees. And yes I'll probably just be doing CarbonROM as that is my main project. I've heard that porting EAS is a pita and I'm not sure if that's something I want to spend my time doing. Hopefully my buddy Zach can do that for us
OK kool either way. Good to see a good dev, getting an op5.

Actual costs for us up north
Hola
Just sharing my order details to provide costs:
1 x OnePlus 5 Slate Gray 6GB RAM + 64GB Storage --- CAD$ 649.00
1 x OnePlus 5 Exclusive Welcome Bundle --- CAD$ 109.80 but discounted to CAD$ 54.90 for early bird purchase
Includes
Dash Type-C Cable 100 cm
OnePlus Bullets (V2) White
OnePlus 5 Protective Case Karbon
OnePlus 5 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector Black
Subtotal CAD$ 758.80
Discount CAD$ 54.90
Tax CAD$ 91.50
Shipping CAD$ 0.00
Grand total CAD$ 795.40
No shipping info provided yet.
Checking out the OnePlus site using the early adopter code "Clearer Photos" I could see the $649 (6GB/64GB) and $719(8GB/128GB) prices. Their not much higher than the straight US exchange rate for today.
I compared that to Amazon.ca prices for a Galaxy S8 that included a Samsung warranty (~$986CND 4GB/64GB). Sure it has expandable storage and a larger wrap around screen and arguably a better camera but that price difference, at least for me is too much.
Unless the reviews really hate the OP5 then the 8GB/128GB Midnight Black version is for me. At least the Verge's hands on review hammers the OP5 Camera but for me price and developer/openness mean more plus I don't care about the IP rating. I would have liked a QHD mode but I still look at my color tuned Nexus 5 1080p screen and its great for the screen size. Obviously your feature preference is completely personal.
I'd like to hear what DAC their using and how the headphone audio quality holds up. Right now I'm likely to buy in after the more in depth reviews are posted from my usual trusted sources.
WARNING: Standard Shipping & Hidden Customs Fees
OnePlus is including the following warning to all Canadian purchases in your order confirmation:
"Canadian customers: please be aware that with Priority shipping, all customs fees are included in your total at checkout. Should you be charged again by DHL, send us your tax invoice and we will reimburse you. With Standard shipping, we don't charge customs fees at checkout, however the US Postal Service may collect this from you while your package is in transit."
If you are concerned about these possible hidden customs fees and you already have made your purchase you cannot simply have OnePlus change the delivery method even if has not been shipped. To be fair this information is posted in the FAQ section of the OnePlus web site. See:
Do I need to pay custom or Import charges?
How do I change my shipping method after placing my order?
Admin please make this a sticky post.

So I don't get it... I am reading from the https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-delivery-shipping-status-t3624695 that some of us Canadians have already received notice of actual shipping or actual date of delivery. I have not yet received any info other than DHL showing that shipping info has been received, the OnePlus order page a potential delivery date of June 26.
Have any of you seen any updates to your shipping info? I am in the GTA, about 30 min drive to the main DHL cargo center near Pearson airport. Yes I am one impatient SOB
I got my phone delivered today about an hour ago

My particular Canadian OnePlus 5 requirement is that the phone fully supports Rogers LTE bands. I would be buying an unlocked version and definitely not from Rogers or any other telecom. I am also a hacker who expects all the same flexibility seen from OnePlus for the 3 and 3T. If that is so then it will be a smooth transition from my Nexus 5 which was rooted within my first 10 minutes of fully charging.
Also I'd expect local price not to be different than the exchange rate of the same product sold in the US. No gouging tolerated.

It doesn't support band 13 for LTE on Rogers

I'm still hazy on what impact not having band 13 will have when using LTE on Rogers. My initial Googling didn't reveal anything substantial. I think the OP3T had the same missing band and there are lots of posts with people on Rogers with LTE access and speeds?
Do you know what the impact is? My OP5 is actually on the DHL truck out for deliver as I write this.

I believe it is still $30 with a down payment, regardless if you're on JOD. They did the same with the s8+ and won't change with this phone. It is tragic for us JOD users that have to put a down payment, but it is a whatever now. I will just stick with my note 8 and wait for another great device!
$120 down with JOD is crazy for the S9+. Maybe I'll just stick with my Note 8, though really liking this S9+.

While the iPhone S8 Plus dont have to pay any down payment...
Maybe we can get them to waive it?
well well well looks whos all here , i think i might have to skip this model since im using a note 8 now
This thread is so sad compared to the s8 one a year ago. Oh well! Expected with this type of refresh. Galaxy s10 release will be hype.
I talked to T-force...they told me that they aren't quite sure about the JOD pricing and that I should check in closer to release after initially telling me $120. I qualified for $0 down on JOD for the iPhone X and they said since I did the s9+ would also most likely fall into that range.

Just add it to our monthly, I dont know why they cant do that for us. I'm fine paying $40 a month lol
I'm also coming from a Note 8, just want this for the super slo-mo camera.

Its so they can get more money out of you in the long run. IF you hold onto your phone for 1 year and pay the $120 you will end up paying $60 more then you would have with $0 down. This may seem minimal for 1 account but you have to factor in the overall volume just 10k units sold that would be $600k a year.
Greeat.
One quetion:
My bro is in USA and we are living in EU. He is planing to come back in EU in end of March.
Can he pay full price for S9+? And can I flash trought Odin global room and then phone work here international?
your last thread for the s8 had 424 pages and 4250 on the shipping date (04/19/2017). This one is not moving, meaning the S9/S9+ is not gonna sell well as not many people are jumping in

Im slightly interested, in the slo-mo camera a Treble, other than that it is pretty boring. They could have slim the bezel a little more.

Agreed. Youtube isn't even showing much interest after the initial unveiling. It is dull. Samsung it seems are gonna pull out all the stops for the 10 I think
yass im happy to be here. been with Charly boy since the note 7 and on. happy to finally make a account and talk with yall. gona get s9 plus coral blue
I plan to get the S9 from an LG G6. I like the blue and will probably get it, but might wait a bit to see if anything else in terms of freebies comes out. I have JoD, so the trade in offers don't do me jack.
i just spoke with a rep and made a dumy order to see full price. 137.47 for the down and shipping
I preordered last night. Should have it next week, i hope.
