I was looking here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...-/281775753125?ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:GB:1123

The UK use band 20 for 800mhz so no 4G on O2 or Vodafone at all and no faster 4G speeds on 3 as they role out the 800 mhz
---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------
That model uses b19 and b26 although 800 mhz not suitable for UK I am in same boat I want a note 5 I have found one on ebay which is suitable but it is a us model

Which one was that xperiaman? Do you have a link?

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910 Factory Unlocked International Model

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?

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.

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..

Is there any Aussie users with the imported Exynos Note 4? Which model u using? Or, which Note 4 u guys willing to buy? Which carrier u with right now? Any problems so far?

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.

Galaxy Note 4 vs iPhone 6-->LTE Reliability/Speed

My experience with the iPhone 6 and Galaxy Note 4. I am aware iPhone 6 is equipped with cat4 LTE Modem and Galaxy Note 4 is equipped with cat6 LTE Modem. These tests were ran side by side and one by one to maximize the results. Both had stock OS as well.
I've used these two devices on following carriers: vodafone UK, T-Mobile Germany, SK Telecom, China Mobile and Telstra AUS.
Speedtest Results (Galaxy Note 4 in Mbps):
vodafone UK: 179.11 down and 33.23 up
T-Mobile Germany: 121 down and 14.39 up
SK Telecom: 287.49 down and 49.31 up
China Mobile: 11.59 down and 2.88 up
Telstra AUS: 144.82 down and 19.33 up
Speedtest Results (iPhone 6 in Mbps):
vodafone UK: 67.39 down and 4.59 up
T-Mobile Germany: 118.33 down and 11.49 up
SK Telecom: 147.10 down and 31.55 up
China Mobile: 1.58 down and 1.44 up
Telstra AUS: 88.92 down and 9.49 up
Signal strength (RSRP) through hidden menu (Galaxy Note 4/iPhone 6):
vodafone UK: -88/-102
T-Mobile Germany: -91/-98
SK Telecom: -71/-82
China Mobile: -105/-110
Telstra AUS: -98/-102
Carrier Aggregation (Galaxy Note 4/iPhone 6):
vodafone UK: Yes/No
T-Mobile Germany: No/No
SK Telecom: Yes/No
China Mobile: No/No
Telstra AUS: Yes/No
Galaxy Note 4 was clearly the winner. It received stronger, more reliable speeds and reception.
iPhone 6 lagged behind in all locations and tests that I've ran. It also did not support carrier aggregation which had a negative impact on the LTE data speed.
SK Telecom of South Korea had the best performance out of all the carriers.
I take it this must be the 910S model as it's the only cat6 note4 out there. My carrier network and area (or some of it) just upgraded to cat6 (been cat4 for a while at 150mb max) but all varients of note4 except the S only do cat4..id love to test it out as I've frequently tested close to max many times getting 125-140mb regularly.
The I910U is cat 6 mate

Most of the models are cat 6
On O2 Uk I get 5mbs download speed where I used to get 19 on my HTC One M8. Something is clearly wrong with note 4. Wifi is spotty too.
Three (uk) are still rolling out 4g around me. So far, in the areas where I have had a 4g signal, I have only managed to get 54mb/s (I thought that was fast) lol
I've got the n910f if that makes a difference.
Not rooted or anything yet either.
Sadly Note is lagging, bad word of choice, but it's lagging behind when it comes to speed. My note 4 is on lollipop but still have those small slowdowns I really hate. Waiting for next firmware. Even playing hobbit it's slower than MX4 and Nexus5

That is what I originally thought too but have found otherwise.. My network just upgraded to cat 6 in areas but says this phone doesn't support it.. That got me looking and all the sites like the ones I linked show cat 4..and friend in the US on Tmob (I believe) called too and said only cat 4 max 150..
Im confused because when I bought it I was sure it would work once I was on an upgraded LTE network..
Did u see my links a post back? Do u have any that prove it's cat6? Like I said even on Sammy site it shows 150 max (cat4)..

To clarify, I ran these tests on Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910U model, which is equipped with Intel XMM 7260 LTE radio.
SM-N910F, SM-N910S, SM-N910K, SM-N910L are all cat 6 variants, but are equipped with Qualcomm Gobi and Samsung 300 LTE radios.
Yeah ok makes sense.. Had to be some out there but it's a crazy mix.. There are varients that don't have the upgraded radios then.. North American mostly
Ok found some info saying almost all SD note4's should be Cat6..most Exynos too.. Confusing though as others say only 150mbps max. Maybe certain carriers haven't released their varients with the newer radios?
So what's best app or command to check and confirm my W8 variant is Cat6 and better yet what app is best to use to get live data of bands/frequencies of LTE I'm connected to so I can see if I'm on or using two at once.. Some areas around me have launched and would love to test..
The Cat6 here though is only up to 225 atm due to them only using 10 and 20 mhz blocks on its 2100 and 2600 bands and not 40mhz. But that will change later

Thanks bud and I'm not trying to debate or antagonize, I'm just damn confused as I keep finding so many conflicting sites.
Thanks anyways and I'll keep testing and researching my variant to see if it can run Cat6 (both frequencies simultaneously - I confirmed it has both bands that my carrier is now using for their Cat6 implementation)

Import to UK

Hi,
I would like to purchase a Note 5 - ideally Dual Sim (but doesn't have to be) in the UK. Several sites offer a 32GB Dual Sim Variant. I don't really want 32GB but if the price is right I would consider it. A few offer 64GB but at crazy prices.
Several site offer a dual sim variant that seems to support 1800Mz 4G - which should work on Three/EE UK. They don't advertise the model number well though.
Any other gotchas? The warranty isn't super critical to me as I tend to keep phones for only 6 months and then sell on. I know I will take a resale hit, but I can probably live with that.

Mate I ordered mine yesterday Note 5 dual sim 64GB gold for £638 from Ebay (Should be delivered by Monday/Tuesday). similar to you I am not much worried about warranty as I keep changing my phones in 3-4 months.
The only thing I hate about Ebay and importing phones is VAT charges.
Have a look there are some decent prices there for dual and single sim variants.
So annoyed at Samsung for not releasing it here in UK.
I hope it works out well for you. I have imported a few phones - but usually for much less money. Fingers crossed the seller marks it with a very low value as otherwise the tax will push that up quite a bit.
And yeah, its frustrating that its not going to be released officially soon. There were some rumours of the 28th - maybe some announcement - but I doubt it.
n920i
I bought a 64gb N920i from ebay this week
I can confirm that it doesnt recognise 4G on Vodafone however when I pop a EE sim in, 4G is picked up straight away
Do you like it? Worth the money? And do you mind saying how much you paid?
The N920i varient doesnt support band 20 (800 Mz) so it wont work on vodafone 4G. EE and Three use 1800 Mz so technically is is 4G but 800 Mz is where you wanna be. the AT&T version seems to support band 20 though.
I have both the unlocked a version and the international I version. Vodafone works on an unlocked a version. Only issue with at&t is bloat ware which can be disabled and the locale being set to us only. This means the date format is wrong. Other than that can confirm it works on Vodafone

No issues at all, however, after all of that though, think I prefer the edge plus!
I have one for sale

In the same boat and looking at the Note 5 N920A. I cant justify spending almost a thousand euros on the edge plus.
Can you confirm if the N920A works flawlessly with LTE on Vodafone (Band 20)
Yes works flawlessly on the A version. Would recommend 64gb version. Got mine from here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151791148...49&var=450987358361&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Whats the story with "Clean IMEI"?
I just did a brief search on ebay for the N920A and i can see "Clean IMEI" in the description of some phones
My understanding is that it means that the phone is not a contract phone (under finance) and that AT&T do not have the ability to blacklist the phone and prevent it working on their networks.

Does the n920A version works with all 4g networks in the UK or only with Vodafone and O2? When you received it was it with broken seal?
I have ordered n9208 have been told all networks work but three UK.
>920A
>920T
>920C
>920CD (dual sim)
these are compatible with all european 4G/lte bands/operators (FDD B20/800mhz enabled)
no FDD B20/800mhz band on most other models:
>9208
>9200
>920i
etc etc
this means no 4G on three UK

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.

But N920C should be your choice in terms of GSM compatibility.
I cant find an n920c with 64gb and i really need the memory

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.

I feel like verizon note 5 n920v is the only one that has all the bands that I could possibly need, but verizon one has bloatware and I dont think theres anyways to put a custom rom on it.
