It will be locked which is why ive been recommending people buy the exynos version.
We went through this on the s7 (CAN version was exynos) note 7, s8...all NA versions which are snapdragons are BL locked.

yea if you want a note 8 get an exynos version not a snapdragon which is what tmo and all the other carriers will be selling. like the s8... in us its the sm-g955u sometimes there will be additional letters like a T (t-mobile). The U stands for carrier unlocked or unlockable dont confuse that with bootloader unlockable. There are also sm-g955f which is what the rest of the world has. The F stands for international. They are where the partys gonna be. Their "unlocked" any sim will work, but the bootloader will be unlockable so we will have custom rom developement

I already purchased a pre-order on Ebay - you pay a little more when you buy pre orders (maybe a lot more - depends on how you look at it) but I am not good about waiting. My PHone is supposed to ship around the 20th - 23rd of september - possibly sooner but don't knwo for sure.
Varient for International Versions is N950F (someone mentioned G955F but that is the Galaxy S8 Plus.
I am excited - can't wait to get it in my hands....

Where are you seeing the N950F? I'm not finding any on eBay, Amazon, or any other site for sale in USD. Also, is this European variant the only model that will have an unlockable bootloader?
Will the N950F have all bands/frequencies for US carriers? From what I found at https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-sm-n950-model-number-differences, it looks like it has almost all compared to the N950A, but there are a few that are missing. Thanks

The hong kong version is a snapdragon but the BL is not locked usually.

I pay cash on full for all my phones then when I buy a new one I sell the old on swappa. I usually get very good sales prices when I ultimately sell them. I will sell my s8plus when I get my note8.

Man, that's a lot to drop up front. Though I presume if you sell in a year, you would typically get 30-50% back if it's the INTL version....
Still debating on how to go about this one.

I try to sell the phone I own for as much as I can. I believe I can probably get around $650 to $700 for the S8 Plus G955F I own now - it is in like new condition - not a scratch - I also will include several screen protectors and cases. that I was given that I will also include to add value and to help sell it quickly)

Canadian galaxy S9/plus thread (waiting room)

Its this time of the year guys! This thread is to discuss pre-orders across all stores and providers in Canada. To compare notes and ask ROBELUS related questions. I personally pulled the trigger for an unlocked (no subsidy) phone through best buy, delivery scheduled for the 16th and then I went back in an through Telus the pick up is on the 9th for some reason so I pulled the trigger on both. What did you order from where? What did you select? Pick up or delivery? Please share.

I'm waiting for benchmarks between sd845 and exynos, in order to decide on which one to pick. I'm probably going exynos route again, shame we Canadians get slammed with the Americans, even if we don't use CDMA networks anymore.

I thought Best Buy did not do this anymore.
I thought you need to buy a carrier subsidized device ?
I am not going to the S9 anyway, I just do not want another device where I will need to wait for at least a year after Android P is released to get it, also I do not want Samsung Bloat you know like Bixby.
...but I am curious will check the Best Buy website, sure enough for only $1100, plus tax and shipping I can get an unlocked device sent to my home. Thanks for pointing this out.

Anyone plan to import the exynos one? Where's the best place to get it from?

I would not waste my my money on the locked down crapdragon version.
Plus the only colour i like is titanium grey and i doubt we will get it in Canada.
Ill buy local from a store here in the GTA or from PDA plaza if i get one.

64GB so far. No mention of the 128gb variant. Maybe sometime in the future. Pre-order gets you the 150$ bill credit. I know it does for Robelus not sure about Freedom tho.

Hey guys. Thread moved to https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/canadian-s9-thread-waiting-t3756539

Root, Snapdragons and Exynos.

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?

Yes of course it will.
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.

Dual sim for everyone?

Hey boys, I'm from Sydney and ordered my phone through Telstra
I later find out that Samsung will sell dual sim version through normal shops and single sim with all operators ( vodafone, telstra etc )
now that's my question.
will I be able to use dual sim if I buy a sim tray which allows 2 sim and flashing a firmware from dual sim version or the dual sim version has a different hardware too?
thanks

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.

I am posting a guide on how to add any CSC pack to the dual sim Note 9 N960FD. I went from OXM singtel to XAA Tmobile.
HERE is the guide, I got to 10 post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/note-9-n960fd-dual-sim-csc-change-oxm-t3841000

Which one you gonna go for?

Just reserved blue, S10 8/512GB - I think it's the best value(+ the $150 free buds). S 10+ differs w/ bigger battery and enhanced selfie camera which, I don't use a lot. I think the S 10 will make me happy for a very long time ahead.
Some specs to compare among all 3 models:

Pre-odered the S10+ ceramic Black 8/512gb T-Mobile Snapdragon! $700+tax ? with N9 trade-in.
UPDATE: Just canceled my order for numerous reasons. I need to rethink if I should just wait for the S10-5G badboy arrival!? ?
UPDATE2: I re-pre-ordered the Blue S10+ 128gb Unlocked Snapdragon! ?
Here's best FCC LTE bands list I could find.

You mean 8/512, yeah I was thinking about that one too, somehow the $100 less makes me feel less guilty Then again, just a couple weeks ago I was buying a 9 Note for a similar price. Returned happily that N9, it was just another amazon refurb and now I just made a one year smartphone technology leap ahead.

Flamingo Pink S10+. 8gb/128gb is fine with me... that color is legit

Are the LTE bands the same for the USA Snapdragon Unlocked and Branded TMobile S10's?
Also are the software Updates faster on the Branded TMobile vs the Unlocked?

techwalls.com will have the numbers in the coming days, I'd think, the S10etc models won't be different from Note9 in lte bands, it all depend on regions:

Unlocked?
Also, can you make changes to the Pre order?

Yes unlocked and yes I believe it gives the option to manage the order. And it is preordered with a confirmation email. Not reserved.

Exynos S10e 8GB/256GB looks like the replacement for my S7. Glad about the flat screen, and similar size to the S7. But will hold out until prices drop a bit and root/custom recovery/ROMs are achieved. Wish they would have put the same camera, FP scanner, larger storage levels, etc. of the other models in the S10e, but those are not deal-killers.

S 10+ 8/512 ceramic black unlocked.

very hard decision,
I am going to wait untll bootloader unlocked, root available, and custom rom available.
until than it's useless brick.

Looking to acquire the S10+, 128 GB, 8 GB RAM, Prism White, Unlocked, Hong Kong Variant, Snapdragon 855. Will hold off for user feedback and price drop.

Pre-ordered the S10+ 128/8GB model. I noticed there was absolutely no performance difference between the 128/6GB and 512/8GB model of the Note9. In fact, ive read that the 512/8GB would consume more battery, but most likely not significantly.

S10 or the S10+ still haven't decided a bit confused in between those two.

Honestly wish there was a ceramic option on the smaller S10

I pre-ordered S10e 6/128 GB in blue color. Guys, Samsung said that reserving a device early will give customers $50 instant credit for accessories, but I never received any after ordering the device. Any one?
Here was the info:
Pre-order the new Galaxy to receive $50 in instant savings on accessories and a free pair of Galaxy Buds (S10/S10+ only)

I didn't get a code emailed when I ordered my s10+. I tried adding to the cart and it didn't work either.
