Canadian: Note 5 Cad/32gb-max... - Where to buy better? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 guys Im torn need advice on Note 4

Hi,
I am going to purchase a brand new note 4 for the first time from a reputable vendor i heard all the horror stories about ebay and blacklisted imei's so decided to shell out the $$$.
I saw brand new n910c going on amazon for a little over $600 which seems like a good deal but I know it doesnt support band 12 on tmobile's lte network. I do use tmobile but the cheapest i saw a tmobile note 4 was bestbuy which is like 800 with tax which seems pretty steep
Is it ok to go with the exynos n910c or will i regret it down the line if i dont have band 12 support? Or does anyone know of another place I can purchase a new note 4 tmobile wihtout having to buy tmobile service? Thanks.
I bought my Brand new N910T from Swappa for like $700 when it first came out. My Gf just got a brand new one for $600 on swappa last week so I'd suggest buying a brand new one from there if you can't get it directly from T-Mobile.
You will get bad battery life compared to a T-Mobile note 4 with band 12 but that's just NY $.02
im confused... if you use tmobile, why not get it from tmobile?
Yeah, Swappa. They check IMEIs for blacklisting and financing plans, so if a device makes it for sale there it's gonna be good. Currently I see a brand new Note 4 for Tmo for 540.... Comes with everything but no box.
The selling of devices or products on the XDA forums is against the rules. If your looking for a device go to Swappa if your selling go to Swappa.
Thread cleaned and locked as OP now knows where to go as recommended by XDA

Note 5 international model

Hello there,
I was wondering what is the code name for the international note 5.
the one being sold here is N920C , one sim card.. is it this one?
and the rom development will be focused on this model or other models?
thanks
Additional question, where do you buy in USA factory unlocked phone carrier subsidy free. I would like to pay full price but be bloatware and contracts free. Samsung does not sell them directly, Best Buy doesn't sell them directly. As far as I can say, you can buy contract free for full price, but it is still locked to certain carrier.

Trying to find a Note 5 N920i 64gb with no luck

Long time lurker here.
I've been trying desperately to find the international version of the Note 5 (N920i) for a few weeks now. I was about ready to buy one on eBay but hesitated until I knew it was compatible with AT&T, then it seems that all the listings for the 64gb version of the phone disappeared.
I've looked on Amazon and Newegg for options, but no sellers are offering the 64gb variant of the phone (preferably black). There is one listing on Amazon, but it will be a cold day in hell before I drop $1,200 on a device that I will probably upgrade in ~18 months. Some website called World Wide Voltage offers one, but there are too many complaints about them taking orders for items that have no stock.
Does anyone here know of any reputable importers/resellers that I could go through?
Hi,
you can use only reliable online shops that may be (Telco).Many Australians have taken to purchasing handsets outright from online vendors sourcing stock from overseas.A parallel importer often means you you can choose phones which may not be available locally, at all or until later in the year.
I got mine from www.t-dimension.com. Bought from them twice, got my phone within 3 days from HK to Australia.
Hey, I want to buy 64gb version, but I dont find any on Ebay.. just the 9208 ... Only carriers version are available? I'm from ARgentina, but I have a friend in USA that will send it to me so...

Where to buy 950f\fd\n

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.

Help deciding which variant to get for UK, first time buying a non-UK phone

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

I got it direct from Samsung UK.
I get 10% off from work and then traded in a really old phone for £100 so got a good deal
