It'll work 100% I've had the pixel XL and it's a good device. The s8 is better in my opinion and the development is only increasing.

Ok thanks for the feedback, I'll test it out before we trade.
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

Agreed, it's why i went with the Korean Note 8 , to avoid the unlock wait period, but then i suffered because of band incompatibility

@force70 , good to see you around these parts.
Wanna give me the resellers that would sell HK or Latin American SD versions with unlocked bootloaders?
All i know are the EU\UK Resellers & Wondamobile (not dealing with ebay again :\ )

Yeah bro, i skipped the Note 8 but will be here for the 9! How you been?
I know pda plaza will have the unlocked snap, they are already doing pre orders and have them posted. Swiftronics.ca will have them also (both sites had the S9 unlocked snap when i got my exynos).
Kinda bummed no silver or gold but the copper looks kinda cool

I thought the international versions come carrier unlocked.

Has nothing to do with network unlock, you have to wait 7 days for OEM unlock to appear.
Search for more detailed info please as its readily available.

the note 8 was 15 horrible days.
I'm on the oneplus 6 right now, i'm happy with it, but as you know, being a tech-slut it's hard to keep my desires under control.

Agreed. Total abomination. Shame as I was waiting to pick it up to replace my aging S6 but have now turned to the Note 9.

I might be wrong, but i thought i read somewhere that ALL Note 9s were going to be using the Snapdragon. Is there still going to be an Exynos version for international?

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.

I really want the snapdragon unlocked bootloader Note 9. Didn't really enjoy the exynos experience on the note 8,
Do you have link for the note 9 snapdragon unlocked?
Also, i doubt rom support will exist... or anything at all so what would be the point ? lol

That same site has the unlocked snap also! They sell both so you can pick your poison. The N9600 is the snap you want

Bought a P30 lite a few months ago as a replacement for HTC U11+ that I destroyed, and I hate it since I'm missing root. Decided to go back to Samsung.
Looking for a device that I can (1) root and unlock bootloader easily, (2) install TWRP and hopefully (3) enjoy vibrant modding support with linage OS like roms for a few years, like I did with the Note 3.
The question:
Is there any difference between S10 and S10 plus in this context?
And is there a difference between the F models and the F/DS models? Can I still get all of that with the dual-sim models, or are they "neglected" in any way?
Thanks!

Only the exynos variants of theS10 and S10+ can obtain root and unlock the bootloader.
Now to answer your questions:
1. There's no difference that I know of between the S10 and 10 plus, then again I am in the U.S.
2. The different models have to do with the region you are in. For example U and U1 are U.S. variants.
3. Dual sim model should be able to get root if it's an exynos.
