Hi, so far my experience with the s6 edge plus is not so good. It overheats and sometimes is laggy. My friend who also bought the same model g928c from the same shop in UAE said his s6 edge plus broke because it overheated too much. I like the look and design though. If I sell my current s6 edge plus should I change to note 5 like my friend did? Or should I buy another working s6 edge plus? I can't return my current one because I live in the UK.
well, what's your friend's experience with the N5, now? better?
if you and your friend's S6e+ haven't been working well for either of you, maybe getting another one wouldn't be the way to go. but you should still have the 1-year manufacturer warranty honoured via the seller. have you checked into that?

Should I just sell my 64gb g928c and buy a dual sim 32gb g9287 or 32gb g928f?
Or note 5?
And Samsung won't honour the warranty because I live in Europe and I bought the phone in UAE

I couldn't tell you which you should buy. i'm biased towards the N5 anyway.
did you purchase from a seller/store in UAE? could you possibly send it back to the seller to have them handle the warranty repair? that's what i've had to do with electronic items i've purchased in Asia - i'd have to ship it back to them for them to ship to the manufacturer.

Hi guys,
As the topic stated, I was wondering if this one was legit. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151346402320&alt=web
Thanks
It may or not be a U.S. model. Most LTE tablets on eBay are from Hong Kong. It'll have no Samsung warranty because it's being sold by a non-authorized Samsung reseller.
Seems legit but honestly I'd spend the extra $30 and get one locally. For all you know it could be a "brand new" floor model with screen burn
Is there anywhere in the US to buy an unlocked note 5?
Best Buy will be selling the unlocked models but their prices are pretty high.

When Worst Buy states "Unlocked" what does that specifically mean ? To me unlocked = Nexus type freedom, as in unlocked bootloader and freedom to root with ease.
I hope BB doesn't mean unlocked as in SIM card and network only. Because noways that's totally legal for all phones to be unlocked per the U.S Govt. law this year. That should not even be listed as special feature nowadays.

When I went to Best Buy, they had the unlocked stickers on the edge of the table. There was about a $50+ markup on the unlocked models over the carrier ones. According to the Samsung rep, Best Buy is trying to bring more unlocked (Samsung) phones in their stores. The S6 Edge+ 64GB for example was $919.99

I went to best buy today in Milwaukee and spoke with someone from best buy as well as the samsung rep - both said that they did not offer an unlocked phone - and said they were not aware of any best offering unlocked phones. Had to choose a carrier when you bought the phone - I think I saw that you are in HOUSTON ? Maybe that is a test market or something? It aint happening here - (though I really wish it was - I would much prefer buying an unlocked phone that i could use anywhere.

We actually end up having a lot of "test market" experiences here so I wouldn't put it past it. I never actually considered that being the case as most of the Best Buy stores here in Houston contain a fairly large number of unlocked phones. I was actually surprised to see the unlocked S6 edge+ stickers all over the area. They weren't pushing it but they said it is something they offer.

crap - I wish they did that here in Milwaukee -
So,
I want to outright buy a 64gb or higher variant, but for Canada.
I can by a 64gb on Ebay ranging 950-1500... But I'd like to pick my colour & have it actually work in canada at first without needing to root/custom it at the beginning...
Any suggestions on where I can buy one? Especially the best model variant that will be easier to use custom roms?
Please advise, I am on "bell canada", but am going to telus as they cover better service in my area's.
My "contract" is up in October. So if delivery is 2-3 weeks, i'm ok with that...
I want a brand new epic phone, switching up for the well used 32gb note 3 with 64gb samsung evo microsd...

Hey all, never-msrp had the black note 8 950fd for 849.99 64gb on ebay for like 1 hour before he sold out.
I'm itching for a unlocked bootloader and pixel 2 xl 128gb after taxes is over 1k! no sense in justifying that.
So i'm returning my t-mo note 8 when i buy the unlocked exynos ones, but i don't know who are trusted sources on ebay or elsewhere for this. Since never msrp is sold out and he has no idea when he's getting more can y'all source me to where to go?

with clove, conversion and shipping it's 1190 and change...
Amazon has it for 909$
BH photo has it for 979
So my ultimate question would be, any benefit from purchasing it from bh photo video vs amazon?
All other ebay sellers don't come close to amazon or never-msrp pricing as of right now..
wait it's 947 on clove , (exclusion of VAT) , so here's the thing this popped up when i began filling out order
"Samsung’s region lock stops use of this handset within your chosen country unless activated with a European SIM. I agree for Clove Technology to break the seal on the box, activate the phone and remove the region lock by completing a 5 minute call on the handset."
found that interesting-
Does clove offer warranty of some sort?

Yeah the UK phones have regional lock. They'll activate it by the method listed. If you decline, you won't be able to make calls outside the countries listed for the phone.
I got mine from Clove and couldn't be happier. They break the seal & unlock it but I couldn't tell except for seeing the broken seal. They reset it so setup is exactly like with a new phone, I couldn't even fine a single fingerprint or smudge on it. I upgraded to DHL shipping, was shipped on a Friday, I received it on Monday.
With all the crap going on with OEM unlock missing/disappear, lowest price was not a concern for me. And really I didn't pay very much more than if I were to get a SD version from my carrier or Samsung.

Take a look at Kalm_Traveler's threads:

He has a N950N on Tmobile. He's still working on the mod for the N firmware. The second link is his TMO mod for F variants. You can however flash the F firmware on your N & install the mod if you don't want to wait. He's been working hard at it & I'm sure he'll figure it out soon. I flashed his mod on my N950F & it's working great.

This is the model i purchased
Hi,
Unsure on which variant to get between the SD and the exynos as seen mixed reviews.
So the way I see it I have 3 options in the devices I get, which work out about the same price:
N9600 SD £600 Toby deals - Does this fully work in the UK? will Google/Samsung Pay work?
N9600FD exynos £600 Toby Deals - Does this fully work in the UK? will Google/Samsung Pay work?
OR i get the device through EE/Vodafone etc. and I'm unsure on the exact model you get, but I know its the Exynos version.
Thanks in advance!
I bought the note 8 n9500 (Hong Kong) version and found most things worked fine!
Phone was awesome and I loved it.
Samsung Pay works, but the loyalty cards and offers are all Hong Kong based.
GPay works fine, no problems.
Bixby kept throwing Chinese writing here and there.
The main reason I wouldn't buy another phone from abroad is the resale value.
I tried to trade it in for a note 9 and it wasn't accepted anywhere.
Vodafone appear to be offering £375 for it but that's the best I'm getting. Carphone Warehouse will not touch it.
I'm just about getting £440 for it on Ebay.
If you're not bothered about resale value, go for it.
I bought the Note 9, 512GB version for £850 and I'm happy with that as I know I can trade it in later and all the bits and bobs work as they should.
Just my 2p
I brought a duel sim version for the wife in copper.
Looks amazing £636 online from wonda mobile.
It came with the seal broken but I think that's to avoid taxes.
Everything works fine
