I keep seeing in different articles that the Note is available with either 16 or 32gb internal storage, yet all I see for sale is 16gb internal...anyone know the deal?
I'm planning on getting the note next week but am wondering if I should wait as...
1) The FCC has just received another Note from Samsung designed to work with LTE and wonder if this will be available in an unlocked version and
2) Is the version mentioned above the one that will be coming with 32gb internal storage? The article I found talking about the LTE version the FCC just recieved stated it's specs as 32gb internal memory.
If so I'll wait until that version is available. If anyone knows or just wants to speculate I'd be glad to hear from ya.
It is also my understanding that the current exynos chip in the note does not support 4G/LTE so it would have to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip which I believe is slower overall.
Me too I'm waiting for 32gb version
Now the 32GB Galaxy S II is out there so there will be Galaxy Note 32GB version too hopefully

You already can buy the 32gb version in Austria.

WTF! I chat with Samsung and said it won't be any 32GB version release here in EU. So I bought 16GB and now they release 32GB. Damn liars!

Hi Guys
I'm looking for a dual sim phone but keep finding phones where the 2nd sim tray is also where the SD card is used, so I have to pick one or the other.
I've found this model of the Note 8 and am considering buying for use in Canada: https://www.eglobalcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-n9500-256gb-dual-sim-deepsea-blue.html
Can anyone confirm that this is definitely a dual sim phone as information on different sites are mixed?
Thanks!
Hi there, all the duos versions (dual sim) use the storage sim slot as a dual purpose - so yes, you will need to choose whether to install 256 GB external storage sim, or second carrier sim. However at 256GB of installed storage - does this really present an issue? Interesting website - thanks for the link. Not sure about that model number but they don't have 256GB duos in Orchid Grey.
Thanks for the reply.
The fact that the phone has 256GB internal storage means that the sim slots aren't an issue. I just wanted to check whether this version was dual sim as I'm looking for one phone to use a business and personal line on.
I prefer the look of the blue too, so I think I'll bite the bullet and go for this one.

I don't know if you noticed but that phone is the Snapdragon version... I like the price better than the one I just bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...var=572001194802&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 but this has Exynos and Orchid Grey and I don't want to wait any longer...

LostinCanada,
I'm also waiting for the same seller to provide it , but I did not order it yet because once it is 28-29 September, this variant ( The hong kong 256gb dual sim ) will hit Hong kong markets and more sellers might sell it , may be with better prices.
But Please keep us updated once you get it.
regards,
Hasan

I had inquired with this seller & he said it is snapdragon version. As per me Exynos is 1.7GHz whereas snapdragon is 1.9Gz. Plz check again the specs.
If u check Note 8 in wikipedia it says Exynos: Octa-core (4×2.3 GHz M2 Mongoose & 4×1.7 GHz) Cortex-A53 (GTS)
Snapdragon: Octa-core (4×2.35 GHz & 4×1.9 GHz) Kryo.
The link u paste in ebay shows 1.9GHz. Means it is snapdragon.
OMG!!! Thank you for pointing this out! Grrrrrrr..... Now I don't know where I am going to buy this darn phone. I have requested a return. I am so glad I didn't find this out two weeks from now. If anyone knows where I can find a 256GB Note 8 Duos Exynos version (with unlocked bootloader) I would be grateful!

Are you sure that the original link I posted isn't for the Exynos version? I cannot find where it specifically states it but it looks like it may be the Korean version (256GB & Blue), which are Exynos?
I did send a message to ask but got a vague reply with a copy-paste from the product page, they clearly didn't have a clue what I had asked!

Sir... im sure it is an snapdragon version. Exynos version is single sim but 256GB memory. SM-N950 is korean exynos version.
Sent from my SM-N920G using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Thanks @maheshhtc. Now I am in an argument with the Ebay seller, who is claiming it is Exynos version. I tried calling Samsung but they only give information for the phone sold in the country you are in. I did find out from Samsung in Hong Kong that the "Hong Kong version" is actually Snapdragon: http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/support/model/SM-N9500ZVGTGY#downloads. On this site: https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-sm-n950-model-number-differences/ I had referenced N950FD which is Exynos, but didn't notice the seller's ad that it says F950FD and I can't find any reference to this model online, except for within his ad.
So many variations of this phone! Is this an "undiscovered" variation or a typo on his part?
If anyone is looking at buying the phone in the Ebay ad let me warn you the seller says he takes returns, but now is claiming I must pay him the 12% deposit he paid to the Hong Kong Samsung supplier. I hope this isn't going to turn into an Ebay dispute - the seller has 100% good feedback so I wasn't expecting any problems.
******UPDATE:
Well, it is now officially a dispute/investigation. The model number in the ad doesn't match either Samsung HK, or the Asian version I am really after (I think!): SM-N950FD which should be Exynos, 256GB, Duos, and I've heard mixed rumours re unlocked bootloader. So the ad is either a typo, new variant or fraud. I guess I will know in a few days. Ebay says they will support the return in any event because the seller never put any stipulations re returns in the ad. BUYER BEWARE!
I will post any updates as I get them.
In the meantime, please advise if my desired phone, in Orchid Grey, is available to purchase anywhere!

Hi Ihughes, the link you posted is definitely for a Snapdragon version - looks like HK phone: http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/support/model/SM-N9500ZVGTGY#downloads Check the page, lists the model number as N9500

Hi Tonyspurs,
Thank you but that is a single sim version. I want Dual Sim, 256GB (internal), Exynos, unlocked bootloader. Sigh so far doesn't exist apparently.
*****UPDATE:
After several interesting communications back and forth with seller, the seller finally refunded the money for the phone, but not the shipping. Another call to Ebay finally took care of that - but I will still lose some money on the currency conversion. Well, that is officially the most money I have (almost) spent on a phone before... LOL. I was disgusted with Note 5 specs and then foiled by the Note 7 debacle - it's just plain mean to be teased with this elusive Note 8 and not be able to actually buy one!

It now makes sense to me why he yelled at me when I enquired whether his model was Exynos or not (he told me it was Snapdragon, but a day after yelling at me, advised he could get the Exynos variants in but not in Orchid Grey.) I think you have saved me some trouble - so thank you Just from my experience with the Note 7 debacle, 100% positive feedback doesn't mean anything - my seller got all his negative feedback deleted and I had to twist many arms to get my refund.
Please let me know if you stumble across Dual Sim, 128/256GB, Exynos Note 8 in Orchid Grey as that's the one I'm holding out for also Good luck!
Wow! I wish I had had that information to give Ebay to add to my complaint. The seller kept changing his story - including that he had told me he was selling two versions (he hadn't stated that) and that the version he was selling me was Exynos (in grey!). I see his ad is still up so maybe Ebay hasn't (yet) received enough complaints. If I saved at least one person from getting ripped off then I am glad, but I would have been happier to see the ad pulled.
Likewise if you hear of any leads for same (256GB though). Hopefully @maheshhtc will pipe up if he/she spots the phone in India this week.

It seems the guy (Kimbi) ebay seller has removed that specific ad where he had mentioned F950FD Dual sim with 256 GB internal memory. Not saying that these people are fraudsters but they take advantage of language problem. Right now 9500 dual sim with 256GB memory is available but snapdragon version. I think 27th there will be 128GB release & October 5th for 256GB exynos version.
Interesting - he just updated the ad - I checked it before posting above and it still had the FD version with last revision Sept 15th. In re-checking the revision stats after reading your post it looks like the same ad with title and description changed today. I'm guessing the Ebay complaint had something to do with the revision. At least people will now know what they are getting.

Hi!
How do you manage to have dual sim + microSD? Very interested by the hack.
Thank you!
I have ordered a Mi 8 with 8GB RAM and 256GB Flash instead of the version with 6GB RAM and 256GB (it is not Explorer Edition, nor SE)
What do you know about this version, is it original? It is not listed on many Xiaomi sites, but i have found some articles that says Xiaomi also launched this version.
Also, do you think there will be any problems with installing a ROM? Since it has 8Gb Ram instead of 6Gb?
It may be a typo. You'll probably receive the 6/256 version
Yes, i already inquired about an 8gb / 256 and it doesn't exist (atleast 1.5 weeks ago). I ended up buying the 8gb/128gb version (blue) instead. Hope you didn't pay extra for the advertised 8gb, since i agree you will probably get the 6gb/256gb version.
The Exynos 6GB/128GB model is readily available, but I haven't seen the higher capacity version for sale. Both storage versions of the SD variant are available. Anyone recall hearing anything about the 256GB Exynos S10e being delayed or vaporware?
I would of loved the 256gb model just for the storage. The 8gb I noticed no difference in my regular s10 I had to my 6gb s10e.
Actually, looks like there is no 256GB version of the Exynos variant. Dang.
Samsung and Best Buy show it has 6 GB RAM, Amazon and B&H show 8 GB RAM. Given that there's an Unlocked Sub-6 5G model, a Verizon UW model, European 4G and 5G models, it would be nice to get clarification on which models get what specs.
https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S20-FE_id11474
Phonearena says the non-5G (exynos EU) variant has 6GB of RAM
German reviewer who has an Exynos sample in hand said only 256gb version will have 8gb.
US models should only have 6GB. Only in China and EU with 8gb variants w/ 256gb
The model sold on Samsung is the same Amazon 8GB/128GB. I chatted with the Samsung eCommerce customer service to confirm.
Here is how I got the better deal in my opinion compared to Amazon
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20-fe/how-to/how-to-best-pre-deal-samsung-t4168583
The Samsung UK site says 8GB and the US site says 6GB.
I sent a DM to Samsung UK and they said it is 6Gb for 4G model (Exynos) and 8Gb for 5G model.
Not sure I believe it to be honest. Both 4G and 5G in the UK come in 128Gb ROM size, no 256Gb option here.
What a mess .... I too don't understand the 6G/8G confusion.
In Europe the 5G (Snapdragon variant) is listed everywhere as having 6GB of mem.
No official specs on Samsung site?
In france it's the same thing, 6GB even with the 5G version.
And on Samsung shop, there's the 128GB + 6GB Ram for 5G and no mention of 256GB version, only a 512GB but not available !
I'm expecting 6GB of RAM and definitely so scattered with info
According to a staff member at bhphoto, the USA S20 FE 5G version sold in New York City site is 8GB, despite the website still listing it as 6GB. We have no idea what to expect
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1595232-REG/samsung_sm_g781uzbmxaa_galaxy_s20_fe_5g.html/qa
After speaking with Samsung UK online sales
All UK models come with 6Gb RAM. Their website incorrectly states 8Gb and has been reported to be fixed
You are right
It is 6GB. It's right there stated on this page under the "AP and RAM" section
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-s20-5g/s20-fe-5g/
The model number they are selling here matches the Amazon model and thus Amazon's 8GB is wrong too.
The UK site says 8GB under the AP and RAM bitnon the site, it's wrong though
Not 100% sure but after doing some research I have found out that in Europe model number : SM-G781BZBHEUB is for snapdragon with 8/256gb. SM-G781BZRDEUB is for Snapdragon 6/128 and SM-G780FZGDEUB is for Exynos 6/128. Where the letter after Z stands for the color. Like SM-G781BZBHEUB is blue. And please correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't know about the non EU versions but all the models mentioned above are sold example on the website of Proshop.de
Per a Samsung rep, the U.S. variant will have 6GB. Which is fine for me.
Unbelievable something like model / ram configuration so simple can be so confusing.
It's either Samsung is doing this intentionally fogging things up or they are really doing a crap job at putting these information out.
My US, T-Mobile phone has 6gb of RAM.
I have a retail UK device. It's the 5G model SM-G781B and it has 6GB RAM.
I received my preorder yesterday and it's the Snapdragon 865 version (UK) it has 6GB RAM / 128GB
I just ordered the SM-G781BZBHEUB, which should be 8/256. If anyone has new info on whether this 5G snapdragon version has 6 or 8 gigs of RAM it would be very appreciated so I can cancel the order before it gets shipped. I'm not going to buy a 6 gb ram phone in 2020, there's just no future-proofing in that.
