I chatted with a rep about exchanging the s8 snapdragon for an s9 exynos, the guy told me not to worry about the differences, and would not reassure me of being able to choose the exynos over the snapdragon...
I ended the conversation early.

Did you know someone getting it and have OEM Unlock present?
Interesting how fast the price is dropping in EU.
Can already find the S9+ for ~€800. It launched at €950.
I say give it another 3-4 weeks and it'll be under €700.
Also, can be had for $820 on US Ebay - S9+ dual sim exynos.
Price is falling WAY quicker than the S8 and S8+, both due to slower sales and incoming competition that should be fierce.

Yes, bought one from different vendor, G960F/DS (although the buid prop shows G960F) No OEM and i have to wait for a week to check. Half of the eBay are floating with G9600 which are clearly snap variants of HK.

That snap will likely have an unlocked BL but they never get any love from developers.
Exynos is still the way to go despite the OEM wait, hopefully the patch made by Dr Ketan works on oreo.
Im still hunting for a grey 128gb exynos, damn hard to find.

It should in theory as the snap has the modem which works on cdma where exynos does not.
There may be twrp for it and maybe a rom or two so not a total loss like the locked snaps.
Exynos works on Tmo but it is missing a band or two if memory serves me so you may not get 100% coverage or full speed LTE in all areas

Since you seem to be the guru on all these different versions and samsung in general. My question is can you enable/unlock (don't know the correct term) bands? I ask because the LA version will work for verizon it has cdma, bands 2 and 4 but is missing 13. Sorry if these are dumb questions I've never messed with Samsung stuff before. I imagine I'll have fun learning odin I regularly fight with adb . Thanks for any help
Im certainly no guru just have owned alot of sammy devices lol.
If a modem is capable of the band in question i the past it has been possible to unlock it to allow for reception. You would need root for this and there was another tool we used years ago QPST....not even sure if it works on current devices though.
If the modem isnt capable like exynos for example has no support for cdma then nothing can be done.
sent from my Exynos S9 plus, Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
Guess I'll wait for awhile and see if twrp and root show up before I order may even try to wait long enough for the unlocking on bands. Have had nexus devices for years (still on a 6p)but I refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack till I can charge and listen to music. Thanks again for your help

Here are the Model Numbers, Country of Manufacturer, Chipsets and Carriers. Haven't seen the different 128 Gb and 512 Gb with unlocked bootloader- Global (Exynos) and Hong Kong (Snapdragon) designations. In the past Samsung would number SM-*9600 as the base model and SM-*9650 as the premium model.

https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-sm-n960-model-number-differences/
Also I haven't seen the 512 GB version on ebay yet and a number of carriers in the US have sold out preorders for the 512 Gb model.
I was told by AT&T that they will unlock the Note 9 for me after 2 months of service (no charge). Will I be able to use their model to install TWRP?

The 512 Gb? Only place I've seen them for sale is on Samsung's site.
Hello All.
I hope this thread will help myself and others in a similar situation.
I went to extreme lengths and procured myself a N950N (SK Telekom Version) to be able to have TWRP and root and all that good stuff.
Problem was using that device on T-Mobile USA left me handicapped in terms of cell quality, LTE speeds etc.
I wasn't the only one either, a lot of folks who bought the F or N versions weren't getting the same Carrier Aggregation combinations or band\frequency usage that the US versions were accustomed to.
Should we expect the same moving forward with the Note 9 Exynos version?
If so, then the obvious inquiry will be related towards snapdragon -, it was months before samfail ever hit SD835 samsung devices, and even then it was handicapped until 10 months after release where it got slightly better.
IS the situation going to remain the same ? What are the developments on the S9\s9+ snapdragon in that aspect?
Just trying to make the right decisions as root is non negotiable for me... and i'm certain it is for many others..
and most importantly, will we have the OEM unlock issue if we buy the int'l model?

Much better than having a locked BL and never having root, the snap s9 still has nothing and its been out since April.
OP i would look into the HK or latin America snapdragon versions, they are not locked and would likely have similar frequencies

I purchased my S8, Note 8 and S9 Plus from CLOVE in the UK - (the F varient) and I NEVER had OEM Unlock issues in any of those devices. Never. I purchsed my Note 9 from CLove on the 9th - and look forward to getting it when it ships later this month.
To be honest, I don't know why some people have OEM Unlock issues for devices they buy on EBAR or other places and why I never have for the Samsung Devices I purchased at CLOVE - but it's enough that I will always buy new Samsung phones from CLOVE to help avoid having to deal with that.

Has the same bands as hk s8+ does. No reason it shouldn't work. I was even able to get volte working on it, once I got it rooted.

You should open a thread on it for sure. I know with the S9 and S9+ they just had to flash the Puerto Rico firmware to get signal. I'm definitely trying it when the firmware is released. Maybe the shipping firmware will work out of the box this time though.

It works fine on VZW, except no volte...Once root is established, we should be able to enable it. Unfortunately, there is zero dev support for this device.

That's what I'm seeing. All that's needed for root is twrp correct?
Guess I'll be waiting a bit longer need a rooted phone. Thanks for the update.

Hi All
I recently purchased Note 9 512gb version in the UK and one of my reasons was to try out one ui. I was very excited but to my disappointment i discovered no one ui for the uk note 9 just yet. I wonder if there is a way to flash this software on uk phone without rooting etc?
thanks

That was the Samsung Experience 10 beta program, the One UI beta program which starts tomorrow will also include the Note 9!

From what is known, there will be no beta for the note 9. There is a leaked firmware/ROM beta, but it's for snapdragon variant. You will have to count on the other reasons you get the phone and wait till January for that one.
Not my email, but from a Sprint USA S9 user.View attachment 4643448
