The phone is already out in Brasil but it's about $900, in Mexico it should be about $660, I know that people are going to sell it on eBay but I think it might get about $100-$200 increase, so where would be the best place to get it from at the best price?

It is normal to happen like that, here in Mexico we don't have Play Store for devices and buying a Nexus device always increase the price here; for example, people is selling the phone here in around $500 USD., is just offer and demand.
Price in Mexico would be the same as the US, so I guess is the best option, but how to get it... I think many people would find a business here exporting the devices to the countries where is not available, but is how market works, you always have to pay a little more for products that you don't see normally in the place you live (Xiaomi devices for example).

thank you, Mr. Spawn
Its probably cheaper for you to buy one from HK. You can upgrade the rom anyway.
Look on ebay, or just google!

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.

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?

So I was out to buy the Note 4 and I wanted to try the Exynos variant because I've always purchased the Snapdragon variants. I figured because the Exynos Note 4 finally supported LTE in the US and the fact that it was using a next generation SoC made it a natural decision for me to finally convert... BUT when purchasing, I looked into Expansys for getting the phone. They specifically advertised the SM-N910U on their website of the phone. I spent nearly $1,000 and purchased next day delivery. To my horror, I found that the model number was SM-N910H, which supports no LTE and will likely have the least support of the Exynos variants. I'm so livid. I don't think I'm going to buy internationally anymore, I don't trust these vendors. :crying:
Thats is really not good. Can you return to them the unit?
Sent from my SM-N910U using Tapatalk
Expansys sent me an opened phone before so I'll never buy another phone from them. And they're not authorized to sell anything even though they advertise manufacturer's warranties.
Just for future reference, what are more reputable sellers to look at?
Exapansys are very very bad. I have rarely heard good things about them. Apparently they are also a nightmare to deal with for returns or warranty issues. Although I haven't used them yet, but I heard tons of good things about Clove. www.clove.co.uk
I will most probably buy the Galaxy Gear S from them soon.

Hi, if i buy a Droid Turbo from Verizon at full cost, will I be able to use it in Central America with a 850 HSDPA band and get good speeds on 3G (1 to 2 mbps)? Or does it just use Edge outside of Verizon?

The turbo covers hsdpa 850 so it should work fine on 3g. You'd just need to add the correct apn

Because I don't know when the Mexican version (Moto Maxx) is coming out and probably the price is going to be around $800, that's the price in Brazil while the Verizon version is going to be rough $650

Brazil and Mexico are really different countries, so also the prices are. The Moto Maxx start to sell on Nov 13, and it will cost the same as the Verizon version. The only version that Motorola would be selling here is the Ballistic Nylon version with 64GB. All the information was from the yesterday's announcement, so I guess it's a better option.

I know for sure that people would be selling them in eBay or a page called "Mercado Libre", that is kind of the mexican eBay. In Mercado Libre they already sell all the newest phones at very reasonable prices; you can always ask to some vendor if he is willing to make international shipping, because some vendors do it and some don't.

Actually in Costa Rica we also have Mercadolibre, but here the phones are about $300 to $400 more, with eBay the problem is that the prices of new phones are almost $200 more because its hard to get, I'll definitely look in the mexican mercadolibre but I need around the same cost as the phone, you think that Motorola Mexico would do international shipping?

The page in Motorola Mexico doesn't allow to do international shipping, because the address it get is from the CP you enter in the form, I tried with couple of CP from USA and the form was showing cities from Mexico, so I guess the buy is not possible directly from Motorola page.

hello friend, friend where I buy the DROID TURBO ???
thank you
Hi all. I won an ebay bid for this phone. I'm waiting for it in Italy. I read it's easy to unlock it paying 20$ online but I had a bad news when I read frequencies about gsm/umts/lte. It seem to work just in Usa/Canada...please tell me I'm wrong :crying:
The American version can not be used in Europe. I think you're missing pretty much all frequencies so even if you would be able to use it the connectivity would be poor
Might be better to cancel it and get it from China, that model has most frequencies that are also used in Europe

Thanks for the answer but I already have it in my hands... It arrived today from a bid I won on ebay for just 460€(about 550$ custom's taxes included). It was a good deal but I didn't mantion about bands limitations(to unlock it's just 19$).
In the worst case I resell it on Amarican's ebay

I got one myself in Saudia anf did the unlocking, I was bumped to find that it didn't read any signal. I'm reviewing the frequncies bit it seems you are right.
Any confirmation / solution?
No solutions. I just sold it as it was. Luckly I recovered 400 euros vs 470 I paid for it
Oh fudge, wish I'd seen this thread because I just won and paid for an eBay Axon M from the US.
If it can't work as a cellular phone in the UK... it'll end up never getting used... What a waste
