Im on VZW and would like the global with sd slot but dual sim would work also but only if I had 256Gb internal memory.
Ao I ask...Anything higher than 64GB coming down the pipe?
Thanks for any input.
TWSS!
Korea already has had 256gb single SIM since launch, if you are after that. I think there is supposed to be a dual SIM 256gb version soon.
it depends what you ate

I see you bought the 950N Korean 256GB and are on TMobile maybe? @Kalm_Traveler
Would that phone be a good choice for someone on the Verizon network?
Can you think of any Cons having the 950N?
Thank you!
In mexico, telcel carrier only offers the 128 Gb version, black an gray colors

For Verizon you need something that has a CDMA modem, which the Note 8 Exynos version does not have. If you want a Note 8 I would just buy the Verizon or unbranded USA version in your case.

I could be mistaken since I've never been a CDMA user, but I believe that is correct. There are two types of LTE that evolved from GSM and CDMA and as far as I've understood the reason we usually get Qualcomm versions of devices here is because their modems include CDMA support for Verizon and Sprint. In the Note 5 Samsung included a CDMA modem so that Exynos device was usable across all carriers here but the note 8 does not have one in the Exynos version.
Samsung only offered 64 GB sku in the US

Xt1063 is single sim, and have and 16gb version, i have a xt1063 16gb single sim.
XT1068 is also sold in Germany, with firmware RETDE. The one from UK has firmware RETGB.
I wonder if those firmwares are freely interchangeable (without any side effects), also considering there's also RETALL version.
Hi, so I just bought a moto g 2nd gen from amazon (amazon.com) global gsm version, but they dont specify which model it is and I want to know if I will get ota update, I live in another country and the phone will take a while to be here so I cant see the model behind the batery :crying:
XT1069 is a brazilian variant fitted with 16Gb and digital TV support
Xt1068 in Brazil have just 8gb. And costs 270 bucks.
XT1068 is also sold in France 8gb with RETALL firmware

Mine is XT1063 and it's sigle SIM
I have both the xt1063 (bought from amazon when the US version was out of stock) and I also have the xt1064 (bought directly from Motorola, just received yesterday)
Both are single Sim versions here in the US, the xt1063 lacks the 1700 AWS band needed for HSPA+ on Tmo here in the states. Once I left the city my xt1063 would fall to edge...and frequently I was stuck with an almost useless "G" data icon. For the past two day I have been using the xt1064, my phone has not dropped out of HSPA+ even being 40 miles outside the city at home.
...for anyone in the US on the fence about buying this phone, wait for the US version...you will be much happier with the signal reception
I've updated the original post with your info, thanks guys.
So it seems the two models sold in the US are 1063 and 1064, both being single sim, which perhaps explains why nobody else has Android L yet.
I'm interested in the idea of a DVB-T tuner in the 1069, I wonder why that didn't make it worldwide. I also wish I could buy a 16gb version :/
Yesterday was announced the 4g version of Moto G, codename xt1078. Its ready to be launched here in a couple days.
Hi, guys!
I am flying to the States for work and I am thinking about getting a 64gb Moto X 2014 and I was wondering if it´s a good idea.
I am living in the UK and I´m an O2 user, and according to this website, O2 has only 800 band right here:
"O2 spent £550,000,000 to secure 2 x 10MHz of 800MHz spectrum, but didn’t come away with any 2.6GHz and has no 1.8GHz either."
Moto X, according to the website, is compatible only with this LTE networks:
"Moto X - Pure Edition (GSM Unlocked with T-Mo SIM - XT1095):
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1700 (AWS), 1900, 2100 MHz)
4G LTE (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17)
So, my question is... Will I be able to use this mobile here in the UK? Will I find issues with the calls, the 3g or the 4g? Any problem with the bands, at last?
I swear I have been reading this morning a lot of articles but I'm a NERD in telecommunications
I would really appreciate if you guys could give me a hand here because I´m departing quite soon
Thanks in advance!
As far as I can 4g will not work because the phone does not support O2 bands but 3g should work fine.

It is a physical limitation rather than a software one. So most likely, there is no way to change/fix it.
EDIT: It seems that 3's and EE's 4g have compatible bands so if you are willing to switch to one of them it might work.
3 supports band 3 (1800 Mhz) same with EE.

NOTE: haven't 3 proposed a buyout of O2?

Correct! I heard that 2 weeks ago and it's going to be great for O2 customers... 3 is now a HUGE company here in the UK.
It looks like I will end up getting it because it will work... And I don´t want to stay with O2 anyway
Thanks, guys!
Hey! Let´s go for the next level...
What about the Droid Turbo?
Bands
LTE Cat 4 (Bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13)
CDMA/EVDO Rev A (850, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Carrier Aggregation (B4+13)
Any idea? I already decided to leave O2 and go to EE or 3, will I be able to use it with 1800 band?
Thanks again!
The Turbo have band 3, which should be compatible with 3 and EE, BUT I think it is carrier locked to Verizon and I am not sure if you can unlock it or not.

Awesome! Thanks! Moto X is my choice
My mom has a Droid Turbo, and I still have my Droid Maxx. We are wondering if the Hong Kong data sims will be plug and play (since it's sim unlocked from the factory), I really have no way of testing before we go to HK. My other option is to buy 3 Moto G's as backups in case they don't work, since they're on sale.
Planning to grab a sim from three.com.hk
Specific APN settings would help, maybe the techs at the shop can help us too.
Never been in Hong Kong question is are the HK carriers GSM? if yes then you won't have any issues (I don't have turbo but used many verizon phones in europe)
hope that helps!
check the frecuencies of the phone and the frecuencies by the carrier you want to use on china, if they match you can use it.

If it is a prepaid SIM and preloaded with funds and a GSM carrier with bands compatible with the DT then it will work but as you noted, you are going to have to know the APNs too if you want to use data. The DT is GSM SIM unlocked out of the box. The frequencies are here:
https://www.motorola.com/us/smartphones/droid-turbo/droid-turbo-pdp.html
Bands
LTE Cat 4 (Bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13)
CDMA/EVDO Rev A (850, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Carrier Aggregation (B4+13)
So as you can see, the GSM bands are 850, 900, 1800 and 1900. Then for 3G data the bands are 850, 900, 1900, 2100 and for LTE the bands are 2, 3, 4, 7, 13.

That is entirely dependent on the carrier. None of us know what carrier you are planning on using.
I'm using turbo in hong kong and no problem with all carrier here. Lte can be functioned normally on turbo.
Sometimes it might get no signal for a few seconds because the turbo jump to search for cdma signal.

Let's help to everyone. Can someone confirm or help find which version of n920* will be fully compatible with Uk 4G networks. As we know should be 3, 7 and 20 band which are 800, 1800, and 2600 mhz. I know networks are different and use some frequencies. For example I'm with EE which use all of them for 4G. I tried to find myself and only n920T looks good . Any ideas
My understanding it will be A version N920A
This is useful in also considering buying this phone also where is the best place to buy from without being charged customs etc.
Thanks
I like to buy the note 5 and was wondering if anyone knows whats the best model to buy for it to work on THREE UK and to get 4G

Hi
Found a note 5 on Ebay N920i
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G bands LTE 2100 (B1), 700 (B17), 850 (B5), 1700/2100 (B4), 1800 (B3), 2600 (B7), 1900 (B2), 900 (B8), 700 (B12), 800 (B26), 800 (B19), 700 (B28)
Factory Unlocked.
I'm contract free so can go sim only on any network.......
Is there anything else I need to consider before buying? From what I understand it's the bands that will determine if it will work or not
Let me know our thoughts
Cheers

I've just imported a N920i to the UK, based on the research I did before hand only go for this model if you want to used 4G on EE, the other networks work on other bands.
The N920a will work on more of the UK networks (although i'm not sure whether it will be branded up as AT&T).
The N920i imported came with a UK charger as I believe it was from Hong Kong which I believe have the same power sockets as us in the UK.
Mine set me back £464 and then an additional £30 for import VAT.
Mrlynch
Thanks for the reply,
I take it that the phone works well, are you getting good 4g speeds?
And just confirm is it just the 4g bands you took into account before buying it. Is there anything else that will determine is the phone will work in the uk?
Can you tell me where you got your phone from. If you can't post a link to the site here would you mind sending me a PM
Cheers
Paul
I too have a n920i and it works fine on three the only netwroks it wont work is o2 and voda
Being honest I haven't tested the 4g yet as I'm on an old 3g unlimited data plan for £10 a month so it hasn't been worth upgrading to 4g. Plus I work from home so I'm on 100mb wifi all day. So far 3g has been spot on and so has 2g.
I got mine from ebay, I'll pm you a link shortly.
Do we know why the n920i won't work on the other networks. .......it has the LTE bands that voda and O2 use so on paper it should work, I think? ????

Thanks for your feedback regarding B20 band; I'm in Italy and here same problem with LTE bands (I'm on Vodafone that works on B3/B7/B20) now looking around I've found a N920C dual sim model (available on arab markets) called N920CD I hope someone can help us to confirm if this model works on B20 LTE too....
Which dual sim model will work in the UK with Three?
Just ordered a Samsung SM-N920S Galaxy Note 5. I know someone who ordered a phone from the same region and uses it in the UK...

Will let you know if all is working......
Is there any Exynos note 8 that will work on Verizon? I really like the unlocked dual sim one but it doesn't have an CDMA support, but would it run LTE only on Verizon? Will it do VoLTE on Verizon?
Are there any Exynos Note 8 that have the CDMA bands to be able to run on Verizon?
Also the reason I want the Exynos is so I can run ASOP on it or as close as I can anyway. Are there ASOP ROMs that maintain the unique features of the Note 8, IE all the S pen stuff.

Note 8 really isn't the phone for you if you're looking for an AOSP ROM that retains all the S-Pen features.
Firstly, AOSP is far from d aily driver material on the S8/S8+, so I wouldn't expect a decent Note 8 build in the near future. It'll take a while.
Secondly, Verizon will work as LTE only on the Exynos Note 8 since it doesn't support any of the CDMA bands, VoLTE probably won't work due to the lack of a Verizon flashable CSC.

Kinda what I've gathered, flashing ASOP, even if it were stable, would cost me the main reason I would want the phone for.
So let's throw rooting out the window. Is there a dual SIM Snapdragon version that will work on Verizon? I have a work phone that runs on ATT and it would be nice to only have one phone to carry.

Well, technically they shouldn't have the required bands for th US, only for HK/China.
AT&T may work, with some tinkering, although I can't guarantee anything and Verizon is probably hopeless, the HK variant does support CDMA for China, not sure if it does for VZW.
Sent from my SM-N950F
If the specs are to be believed they should have one CDMA band that verizon uses, whether or not it's the one they use for calls I don't know. Yeah sounds like a big risk on a thousand dollar phone.
This issue is my dilemma. I actually got a Hong Kong Note 8 primarily because for the same price of the item in US without taxes, I get Deep Sea Blue, 128gb and Dual Sim
On to the technical part - Verizon uses bands 2/4/13 for LTE. If you would look at Samsung Hong Kong Note 8 technical spec page, it lists
4G FDD LTE
B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B13(700), B17(700), B18(800), B19(800), B20(800), B25(1900), B26(850), B28(700)
This is quite conflicting with a website's information (techwalls[dot]com/ samsung-galaxy-note-8-sm-n950-model-number-differences ) on Hong Kong/China units which states -
4G FDD LTE: LTE Cat16 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 20, 28, 29, 30)
4G TDD LTE: B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), B41(2500)
At any rate, I can always shift to T-Mobile if ever my phone won't work on Verizon. '^-^

4G FDD LTE: LTE Cat16 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 20, 28, 29, 30)
4G TDD LTE: B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), B41(2500)
