Hello everyone,
I'm looking to buy the best possible Exynos Galaxy Note 8, and I'm surprised and lost on the number of models available.
Would N950N be a good choice? I would like to replace the ROM by a stock-based one as usual, install TWRP, root, etc.
Would this model work in Brazil and USA on roaming?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

it works, but you'll end up flashing a 950F-based ROM anyway as all the development is using those as a base.
as for "works in Brazil and USA on roaming" that entirely depends on which bands you need.

So we could assume that N950F would be a better choice or doesn't matter anyway?

They are identical hardware, and if you are flashing a ROM anyway the software won't matter either.
The only real consideration I can think of is internal storage, since I believe the 950F is still only available as 64gb, while the N can be bought in a 256gb version.
Get the UK or UAE unlocked dual sim 64 gb version. I have the UK one from Samsung UK. I have my UK EE sim and AT&T sim active. I'm on rooted magisk Dr. Ketan Rom N4 with Iron Kernel 1.1.2. OEM UNLOCK available immediately and still post rom install. Wonda Mobile has the UAE version.
You can get the 950F 128GB in mexico
I really prefer to have the 6GB/256GB Exynos version, so N950N seems a good choice.

No such thing as a 256GB Exynos version, it'll be a Snapdragon.

Yes, there is. Single sim Korean variant. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/n950n-note-8-256gb-att-t3675577
You're thinking of the Chinese variant N9500, which is Snapdragon.

Quite a few of us have the 256gb N950N from Korea which is Exynos.
Ah my bad, i was thinking a dual sim 256gb Exynos for some reason...
I don't want to risk using any software that doesn't belong to this specific model. Do we have root on the regular S8? Custom roms? Recovery? Kernels? What do Verizon Galaxy S8 users get? And I'm talking about the regular model, not the plus model.
I want to pick up a Galaxy Tab S2 8.0. I think they came in about 6 different models in the US. Which models are rootable and can have the bootloader unlocked? I don't want to screw up and get the wrong one! Do you guys recommend any specific model? It seems like the 2016 models are better than the earlier ones...
Thanks in advance,
Tom
I have the 713 which is the 2016 version. After waiting 7+ months for a security update, I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP and installed LineageOS 15.1. It works great and the Google security updates are up to date. Instructions are widely available on the web.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a variant of the S10 that can be bootloader unlocked, rooted, and a custom rom installed and used on ATT in the US. Maybe the SM-G973F? Thanks
Just got an Unlocked S10 for use on ATT network and am debating which firmware I should load. I imagine the answers are already here on this forum but frankly my head is spinning going through the various threads.
With Carrier (U, not U1) firmware, I've read that the carrier specific firmware and bloatware will load based on SIM. I'm coming from an S7 so this is new to me. So what's the difference if I load VZW firmware rather than trying to track down ATT firmware?
Thanks!

If it's a u model never been messed with and properly unlocked it should load carrier based bloat and services based off the sim inserted. If you see multi csc or oym yes you should he able to load Verizon Verizon firmware and then it should repersonalize based off sim inserted. S8 and up all the us based u models are identical hardware. Software is only difference. I don't know the exacts on doing us models. I smartened up and got F models or imported snapdragons due to unlocked bootloaders. But I did have a u model s8
