Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910 Factory Unlocked International Model - Galaxy Note 4 General

Goes on Sale on Amazon starting October 3rd for $899.00

This SUCKS, that seller is not allowing purchases from Canada:crying:. Please keep posting links for the International models as they become available. Huge thanks

Amazon:
"SIM Micro-SIM Memory Internal 32 GB, 4 GB RAM Card slot microSD, up to 128 GB"

They also don't specify which model it is. It just says "Item model number: SM-N910." Doesn't say if it's the S or the C.

I can't find "Exynos" anywhere on this page: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SM-N910-Factory-Unlocked-International/dp/B00N2Y5ALK

To be clear the phone is NOT being sold by Amazon, it's being sold by a secondary seller named "DeltaMobiles."
However, their feedback is pretty good... 4.7 stars / 3407 reviews.
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/aag/main...=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=&seller=A2GKOXTPZV7SMA
Their price was also about fifty dollars cheaper last week.

Does anybody know when does Samsung and other providers start to sell this unlocked phone officially, is it on the actual release date or later?

I have attempted to contact them to verify the compatible LTE bands. Can I assume it is not compatible with US band specifically att?

well, seems like the international will have 4 gb of RAM, this is not the first place where I see 4 GB RAM, not sure about the USB v3 maybe a typo. But doesn't hurt to place a pre-order they don't take you credit card info anyways

I wouldn't say that. the second link doesn't even have the right picture.. it also has "Expected announcement date" which makes me think the site was created before the announcement before we REALLY knew the specs..
I'd say its inaccurate and wrong.

Yep that is possibility too. On amazon I saw some store was taking pre orders with similar description 4 GB for the international edition, might be wrong might be true we will find out soon. However, it doesn't hurt to make pre-order in case if its true at least you will have some reservation. Also as I said they don't take you credit card, so you won't have to deal with "wrong charges" and etc.

there is no SM-N910 Model Number, pre-order available in the UK from http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-note-4
but when asked what Model Number, they replied :
I'm not sure yet exactly which model number we will have here, although I do know that the model numbers reflect the 'sales region' that the phone is intended for.
Clove sell UK stock so whichever model number(s) are for the UK then this/these will relate to our stock.

That also looks like it is the exynos version.
Here is my response from Delta Mobiles.
Hello,
The phone will support 4G/LTE with any "GSM" carrier as long as it supports the frequencies. Here are the frequencies for 4G/LTE:*4G LTE : *800/850/900/1800/2100/2600. Let me know if you have additional questions.
Have a great day!
-Steph

I presume that 'unlocked' means not locked to any carrier. It is NOT bootloader unlocked (ie. not rootable or ROM installable). Correct?

Yeah, it never means bootloader unlocked..

Oops, im sorry, my bad.... But, your thread is all about pre-order, pricing and availability, which is for people who don't have the actually phone. And mine is quite a bit more for people who may have one already (Since I got mine as well). Juz letting you know and no offence for sure. Peace
P.S. I think I may change the topic a little bit, so make sure is different than yours then....

It won't be. As u know Australia is getting the SnapDragon version, so has to be later..... Unless u wanna buy the Exynos version, u can pop up to Kogan or Yatango like i did
I'm in Auckland and there is a big billboard outside my office window saying the note 4 launches on 17 October so I guess it's the same for Aussie. We get the exynos version and again I assume you guys will too. I've already bought a Hong Kong one which is apparently the same model we will get when it officially launches. It's the 910u.

Singapore version is a bit hard to find no matter on ebay or even Kogan is selling 910U which is the most common and supportive model.
From what I've read from Samsung official website, 910U does support 700mhz. But if u wanna get the Snapdragon version, wait for couple week more for Aussie version coz they gonna bring us the Snapdragon to Australia.

The 910U which is in hong Kong also supports 700mhz and lte-A CAT6. Find the thread in general note4. This is the exact same model you get in new Zealand. In Australia we get the 910G. There are two differences between the U and the G. One is the U runs exynos G runs SD805. And U does not have B40 2300mhz TDD(optus LTE which not many devices use yet. So you don't really need it.)
Again ONE THE OTHER THREAD USERS CONFIRMED 910U DOES HAVE LTE-A cat6 as well as B28 700mhz lte

@angelky hows your N910U going in Aus? I'm thinking of biting the bullet and importing one. The wait has been long enough. Can you confirm the 4g/LTE frequencies on your device. Should be on the box too.
Any heating issues with yours? Just wondering with exynos history with Note 3.

Mine goes ok at this stage juz not very well with my wifi at home... But, never has any heat issue and always stays cool unless i use it when it's charging (still not very hot at all). LTE frequencies u can check from other posts since there had quite a few related (lazy to quote coz im in bed already ). But, pretty sure it does support all LTE frequencies in Australia, especially 700mhz for next year as well. You can also check that from Samsung official site from Hong Kong.

Help me choose the right note 5 :(

Hello I need to choose a note 5 for me. I have a note 4 right now from verizon with unlimited data but they started charging 20$ extra for unlimited and along with other features on my account it adds up to over 100$ per line. I want to switch to straight talk most likely and since it is cheaper and they have good coverage where I live, but only thing is I know only sprint and verizon use cdma and others use gsm. I need a gsm unlocked but not sure which to choose, there is i920i i920a and so on. I also travel a lot to europe so I need a phone that will support local sim cards as I am there, would someone please give me some insight on which model of note 5 I need to choose.

Currently using N920i in Boston. But I don't know why it has weaker signal than iPhone 6.
The LTE and 4G on my iPhone 6 shows very strong signal, while Note 5 has strong signal if you use HSDPA.

Note 8 256GB & Dual Sim?

Hi Guys
I'm looking for a dual sim phone but keep finding phones where the 2nd sim tray is also where the SD card is used, so I have to pick one or the other.
I've found this model of the Note 8 and am considering buying for use in Canada: https://www.eglobalcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-n9500-256gb-dual-sim-deepsea-blue.html
Can anyone confirm that this is definitely a dual sim phone as information on different sites are mixed?
Thanks!
Hi there, all the duos versions (dual sim) use the storage sim slot as a dual purpose - so yes, you will need to choose whether to install 256 GB external storage sim, or second carrier sim. However at 256GB of installed storage - does this really present an issue? Interesting website - thanks for the link. Not sure about that model number but they don't have 256GB duos in Orchid Grey.
Thanks for the reply.
The fact that the phone has 256GB internal storage means that the sim slots aren't an issue. I just wanted to check whether this version was dual sim as I'm looking for one phone to use a business and personal line on.
I prefer the look of the blue too, so I think I'll bite the bullet and go for this one.

LostinCanada,
I'm also waiting for the same seller to provide it , but I did not order it yet because once it is 28-29 September, this variant ( The hong kong 256gb dual sim ) will hit Hong kong markets and more sellers might sell it , may be with better prices.
But Please keep us updated once you get it.

I had inquired with this seller & he said it is snapdragon version. As per me Exynos is 1.7GHz whereas snapdragon is 1.9Gz. Plz check again the specs.
If u check Note 8 in wikipedia it says Exynos: Octa-core (4×2.3 GHz M2 Mongoose & 4×1.7 GHz) Cortex-A53 (GTS)
Snapdragon: Octa-core (4×2.35 GHz & 4×1.9 GHz) Kryo.
The link u paste in ebay shows 1.9GHz. Means it is snapdragon.
OMG!!! Thank you for pointing this out! Grrrrrrr..... Now I don't know where I am going to buy this darn phone. I have requested a return. I am so glad I didn't find this out two weeks from now. If anyone knows where I can find a 256GB Note 8 Duos Exynos version (with unlocked bootloader) I would be grateful!

Are you sure that the original link I posted isn't for the Exynos version? I cannot find where it specifically states it but it looks like it may be the Korean version (256GB & Blue), which are Exynos?

Thanks @maheshhtc. Now I am in an argument with the Ebay seller, who is claiming it is Exynos version. I tried calling Samsung but they only give information for the phone sold in the country you are in. I did find out from Samsung in Hong Kong that the "Hong Kong version" is actually Snapdragon: http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/support/model/SM-N9500ZVGTGY#downloads. On this site: https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-sm-n950-model-number-differences/ I had referenced N950FD which is Exynos, but didn't notice the seller's ad that it says F950FD and I can't find any reference to this model online, except for within his ad.
So many variations of this phone! Is this an "undiscovered" variation or a typo on his part?
If anyone is looking at buying the phone in the Ebay ad let me warn you the seller says he takes returns, but now is claiming I must pay him the 12% deposit he paid to the Hong Kong Samsung supplier. I hope this isn't going to turn into an Ebay dispute - the seller has 100% good feedback so I wasn't expecting any problems.
******UPDATE:
Well, it is now officially a dispute/investigation. The model number in the ad doesn't match either Samsung HK, or the Asian version I am really after (I think!): SM-N950FD which should be Exynos, 256GB, Duos, and I've heard mixed rumours re unlocked bootloader. So the ad is either a typo, new variant or fraud. I guess I will know in a few days. Ebay says they will support the return in any event because the seller never put any stipulations re returns in the ad. BUYER BEWARE!
I will post any updates as I get them.
In the meantime, please advise if my desired phone, in Orchid Grey, is available to purchase anywhere!

Are you sure that the original link I posted isn't for the Exynos version? I cannot find where it specifically states it but it looks like it may be the Korean version (256GB & Blue), which are Exynos?
I did send a message to ask but got a vague reply with a copy-paste from the product page, they clearly didn't have a clue what I had asked!

Hi Ihughes, the link you posted is definitely for a Snapdragon version - looks like HK phone: http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/support/model/SM-N9500ZVGTGY#downloads Check the page, lists the model number as N9500

Hi Tonyspurs,
Thank you but that is a single sim version. I want Dual Sim, 256GB (internal), Exynos, unlocked bootloader. Sigh so far doesn't exist apparently.
*****UPDATE:
After several interesting communications back and forth with seller, the seller finally refunded the money for the phone, but not the shipping. Another call to Ebay finally took care of that - but I will still lose some money on the currency conversion. Well, that is officially the most money I have (almost) spent on a phone before... LOL. I was disgusted with Note 5 specs and then foiled by the Note 7 debacle - it's just plain mean to be teased with this elusive Note 8 and not be able to actually buy one!

It now makes sense to me why he yelled at me when I enquired whether his model was Exynos or not (he told me it was Snapdragon, but a day after yelling at me, advised he could get the Exynos variants in but not in Orchid Grey.) I think you have saved me some trouble - so thank you Just from my experience with the Note 7 debacle, 100% positive feedback doesn't mean anything - my seller got all his negative feedback deleted and I had to twist many arms to get my refund.
Please let me know if you stumble across Dual Sim, 128/256GB, Exynos Note 8 in Orchid Grey as that's the one I'm holding out for also Good luck!
Wow! I wish I had had that information to give Ebay to add to my complaint. The seller kept changing his story - including that he had told me he was selling two versions (he hadn't stated that) and that the version he was selling me was Exynos (in grey!). I see his ad is still up so maybe Ebay hasn't (yet) received enough complaints. If I saved at least one person from getting ripped off then I am glad, but I would have been happier to see the ad pulled.
Likewise if you hear of any leads for same (256GB though). Hopefully @maheshhtc will pipe up if he/she spots the phone in India this week.

It seems the guy (Kimbi) ebay seller has removed that specific ad where he had mentioned F950FD Dual sim with 256 GB internal memory. Not saying that these people are fraudsters but they take advantage of language problem. Right now 9500 dual sim with 256GB memory is available but snapdragon version. I think 27th there will be 128GB release & October 5th for 256GB exynos version.
Interesting - he just updated the ad - I checked it before posting above and it still had the FD version with last revision Sept 15th. In re-checking the revision stats after reading your post it looks like the same ad with title and description changed today. I'm guessing the Ebay complaint had something to do with the revision. At least people will now know what they are getting.

Should be N9600 if they keep their standard naming nomenclature from previous models.
I havent seen any listed yet on either store i use, Ebay maybe has them listed.

It should in theory as the snap has the modem which works on cdma where exynos does not.
There may be twrp for it and maybe a rom or two so not a total loss like the locked snaps.
Exynos works on Tmo but it is missing a band or two if memory serves me so you may not get 100% coverage or full speed LTE in all areas

Message the seller & make an offer close to or right below MSRP ($1249 USD) & I bet he'll go for it,a friend of mine bought one just like this from the same seller yesterday:

Since you seem to be the guru on all these different versions and samsung in general. My question is can you enable/unlock (don't know the correct term) bands? I ask because the LA version will work for verizon it has cdma, bands 2 and 4 but is missing 13. Sorry if these are dumb questions I've never messed with Samsung stuff before. I imagine I'll have fun learning odin I regularly fight with adb . Thanks for any help
Im certainly no guru just have owned alot of sammy devices lol.
If a modem is capable of the band in question i the past it has been possible to unlock it to allow for reception. You would need root for this and there was another tool we used years ago QPST....not even sure if it works on current devices though.
If the modem isnt capable like exynos for example has no support for cdma then nothing can be done.

Guess I'll wait for awhile and see if twrp and root show up before I order may even try to wait long enough for the unlocking on bands. Have had nexus devices for years (still on a 6p)but I refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack till I can charge and listen to music. Thanks again for your help

Here are the Model Numbers, Country of Manufacturer, Chipsets and Carriers. Haven't seen the different 128 Gb and 512 Gb with unlocked bootloader- Global (Exynos) and Hong Kong (Snapdragon) designations. In the past Samsung would number SM-*9600 as the base model and SM-*9650 as the premium model.
https://www.teamandroid.com/2018/08/14/samsung-galaxy-note-9-model-numbers/
https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-sm-n960-model-number-differences/
Also I haven't seen the 512 GB version on ebay yet and a number of carriers in the US have sold out preorders for the 512 Gb model.
I was told by AT&T that they will unlock the Note 9 for me after 2 months of service (no charge). Will I be able to use their model to install TWRP?

this morning
I ordered the unlocked 8/256 Nebula blue. But I'm guessing there all unlocked LOL
Can't order it yet in the UK, none of the usual suspects listing it on their sites yet. Not even EE who are supposedly their initial partner for the 5g variant.
EE suck ass anyway, can't believe OnePlus partnered with them. Their site hasn't worked properly for the last week and they are sister companies with BT and PlusNet, both of whom consistently have among the worst customer satisfaction ratings.
Don't take my word for it though.
PlusNet
BT
EE

I'm probably going to reluctantly get the Nebula Blue version just because it's the only colour with 12GB RAM. I really wish the black/grey variant had the 12 option
