extra stores is selling them now but sadly no wifi only LTE versions are sold. But they sell them cheaper than the introductory price in bahrain.
anybody bought them yet in Saudi? what freebies were there? saudi government might have removed the freebies who knows
Honestly you can find every phone and tablet in SA before any other place and you can find them in good prices too!
Anyway you can try Jarir Bookstore or fonezone.com
thats true but in the tab S' case saudi arabia is probably the last country to get it
extra stores has a promo now that if you buy at least a tab s 8.4 (price 1999 SAR or more) you get a free "prime" tablet 7 inches though i dont know exactly what type of brand this prime is
tab s 8.4 in saudi
Hi yesterday I've looked around for the galaxy tab s 8.4 and all I found is the LTE version with exynos octa core processor made in Vietnam. I'm not sure if the device supports all 4g bands TDD and FDD in Saudi. Anyone has any information about the device?
Hi
Yesterday, I purchased 8.4 LTE (4G) Titanium Bronze from Extra Store (Al-Khober). The price is 1999/SAR. It is having Exynos 5 Octa Quad-core 1.9 GHz & Quad-core 1.3 GHz. As expected it is awesome. The brown and golden color combination looks amaizing.
Now the thing thats missing is the case/cover. No body has its cover. Not in Jarir, Not in Extra. I want "Simple Cover", but even if I find "Book Cover" I will purchase it.
Anyone has any idea where to find the case/cover in KSA. It is really risky to use it without cover.

Adnan Rahim

i bught it 1950sar
and i found it yesterday costes 1900 gmlah
i dont think you can buy the case atm
That's right, you can barley find the simple and cover book that's why I ordered my book cover from Amazon and it costs me about 245 S.R with shipping. :good:
What about Expansys Saudi Arabia... is it wise to order case from them online? They seems to have "Simple Cover" in stock.
any online store ship from saudi arabia to kuwait and have good prices thank you.
yeasterday i searched for tab pro 8.4
in cairo
but i found the tab s 8.4 and i bought it
I'm hoping the battery life is not too dissimilar between the two variants, and either should be more than adequate (@ 4,000 mAh) for most users.
Which variant is recommended in terms of:
- Ease of Rooting
- Anticipated custom ROMs & dev support
I will need the Dual-SIM option - Does this mean the global market version (Exynos) will be my de facto choice?
Any other factors to consider between the two chipsets?

I honestly dont understand how you dont know that the snapdragon versions in NA have locked BLs and this has been the case since the s7?
To translate that, there will be ZERO development for the NA snaps exynos is the only option .
The HK and latin snapdragons are not locked but historically there hasnt been much development there oddly enough. Im not sure if there are dual sim models on these...i believe there is but dont quote me lol
People complained about battery life on the exynos s9 plus but mine has been great, with a 4000 mah battery should be outstanding!
Hope i managed to clear some stuff up for you
sent from my Exynos S9 plus, Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
Thanks for that.
I assume there'll be Dual-SIM option in the Exynos flavour - N960FD? Would this be the best option in terms of ROM development?
All my exynos phones including my current s9 plus have been dual sim so for sure the note will also.
Exynos is the best and really only choice for development, the HK unlocked snapdragons never get much love in that regard
Direct orders from Samsung UK are all dual SIM.

Big surprise seeing you here,LOL.......
Quick question regarding Qualcomm (or Exynos,for that matter) & Dual SIM:
I'm aware that China & other Qualcomm markets have Dual SIM options,but,I was wondering if the US & other Single SIM Qualcomm variants are actually the same exact phone,but,the only difference being the SIM Tray & firmware for Single SIM use.
Just curious,as I have T-Mobile DIGITS,so,multi-SIM isn't necessary (for additional T-Mobile numbers) ,as DIGITS allows for up to three lines on one device.
Admittedly,it sounds like a silly question/wishful thinking,but,if it's cheaper to equip all the phones w/dual SIM & just have the firmware & SIM/SD Card holder different...........

Lol.....yeah not a shocker huh haha. Hows things bro?
From what ive read there are some hardware differences between the dual and single sim versions. People have tried converting single sims to duals but Ive never seen it work.

That's what I figured,but,thought I'd ask you,since you have a lot of time in a lot of various Samsung devices.
I'd really like a Note Active,maybe Samsung will surprise us one year once they've milked the S-Pen for all its worth.
I'm gonna go with a T-Mo variant this year (zero development,I know,I'll make do this year w/a package disabler app or,ADB commands to debloat):

Time to start saving my pocket change for an Exynos model next year........................ :good:

Same here,went to Best Buy,but,a T-Mobile outlet was on the way & I had questions regarding pre-ordering & trade-in.......
Long story short,I was very surprised to see a working demo on display so soon after the official announcement.
T-Mo had the lavendar purple model,it had a richer/darker look than what I'd seen on the various unboxing vids.
Proceeded to Best Buy to get a look at the blue model (only two color choices we have,regardless of where you buy in the US ATM)
Same w/the blue model,looks much richer/darker in person.
Not too crazy about the yellow S-Pen,I'll replace it as soon as extras become available.........
The down payment on T-Mobile 8/512 model SUX ($529),but,if I were to go w/the 6GB model,might as well pick up the Note 8 & save $280 ($720) vs the 6/128 Note 9 ($999)........

You hate the yellow S-Pen? I like it! I would have loved to have been able to buy my black Note 9 with a yellow S-Pen. Should we trade?

I actually settled for the Lavender Purple 8/512,as it was immediately available vs the back-ordered Blue model.
So,I'm good w/what I have,slapped a black sandstone skin on the backside,from GadgetShieldz:

Hello, i looking to buying the Realme X50 5g on Aliexpress, but the only available version is the chinese official rom. Has anyone bought the phone with that rom installed? Whats your experience with it?
I have read that since the phone doesn't come with google play services installed and the apps that relies on google ofter fail and have trouble displaying notifications. Is this true?
And have you had any other problem with the device?
Lastly, in your opinion is it worth it to buy chinese rom phones to save a couple of bucks?
Thanks!
Realme x50 5G 12/256 Rom
I see that he is a little aggressive with the changes
In my case, I am from Mexico and I will have to use it in English. Although I see many apps that come in English and Chinese
I have not yet managed to put my Nova launcher or Chrome as main
I like to check all the applications. Then I will try to put all my data
I hope here I can find and solve all my doubts

I bought this as the Chinese rom has English language as well as Chinese. I had to install g apps manually afterwards. found a web site that showed how to remove most of the Chinese system apps using adb. Still cannot get rid if Breen (voice command thing) and their own "Apps Market" app. This phone has a much better wifi and mobile signal than previous phone (Umidigi Z2 SE) I will never buy Umidigi again.
This phone (x50 5g) is the best bang for buck on aliexpress. It can be had for $230 incl shipping. does 333k in antutu better than 301k realme v5. same price as v5 better than realme 6/ 6 pro.
has almost every 4g band you will ever need. Just use it as 4g phone since you cant use the 5g bands anywhere except china. has excellent build quality, metal frame, gorilla 5 front and back. 120hz refresh rate. 30w fast charging, image stabilization.
I feel sorry for people buying this phone in Europe. 400 euros seems way to much when you can get china version for half the price. also stupid oneplus nord. why buy that one over this phone? its all the same company anyways. I don't see why this phone isn't more popular. I think its my next phone. like the above poster said, you can install google playstore and remove the chinese bloatware over ADB.
What countries does the international version have working ECG & Oxygen sensor apps in? Will it work in Canada? Will the International version work everywhere or be an orphan for these features?
BP and ECG work only for Brazil and South Korea
ECG works in USA.
You can change the CSC code for Brasil and Korea to have both working.
ECG works only if you install the apk with Tizen Studio (the procedure are exposed on this forum - FitInstaller), I am from Brasil and use it with P30Pro., No Blood Presure, No Oxygen metric and No ECG withoutXDA help.
I am feeling like have paied a lot money for a bad Galaxy Watch (1998) that have a poor batery (24h), no charger, no doc (apple cable clone). I am very angry with Samsung.

Hey guys, is there a legit online shop so I can buy the Snapdragon variant G9980 for example so it can work here in portugal with 5G?
You'll loose your warranty. Given the hardware issues this model is having that could get expensive sooner then latter...
&
The 5G may turn out to be more trouble than it's worth.
It's also running on Android 11 which is less than user friendly. Problems with the display. No SD card slot. No Spen.
A month agoI was looking at the N20U Snapdragon and the N10+ of which I already have one.
The 10+ has better color rendering, zero display issues than the 20U and the 21U but no variable refresh rate.
In the end I opted for a new 10+/Snapdragon running on Q for $800. It runs great... no regrets. My older 10+ is 2 years old, it looks and runs like new. One replacement battery on this heavily used device.
Current OS load is over 1.5 years old still fast and stable. In my opinion the 10+ was Samsung's last great flagship in terms of quality, usability and reliability... it's no accident that I own two.

Of the three SM-G9980 Variants the Hong Kong device is most likely to be compatible with 5G in Portugal. Some claim the Taiwan Variant (BRI) is identical to the Hong Kong Variant (TGY) but I don't believe that's the case. Stay away from the China Variant (CHC), it's lacking in a number of areas. Where you buy it will depend on how much internal storage you need and whether you want a new or used device. If you need a new 512GB model the best option are handful of Hong Kong Retailers. You will still have the warranty but the retailer in Hong Kong will need to process a claim. You can find them on eBay and they ship worldwide so your location isn't an issue.

I have the S10+ and an S21 Ultra. The S10+ is a nice option, it's smaller, lighter, has external memory and a 3.5 jack. Taken in total the S10+ is no match to the S21 Ultra, not even close. No hardware or display issues, it runs faster and smoother, much better cameras, better battery life and it charges much faster. You certainly like the S10+ better and that's fine but to suggest it's a better device than an S21 Ultra, sorry that's just not the case.
You'll lose warranty
Your software updates may not happen (was the case with UAE S9+ in UK at least)
5G = 180 Mbit / 25ms, 4G = 160 Mbit/35-40ms in my place. Given the fact 5G consumes far more energy I did switch it off. 160Mbit + 40ms is far above enough for everything I need. And +20Mbit does not compensate more consumption of battery. I do have bad experiences with Exynoses. Since Note3, they are really bad. The newest one is not far better. It is hot as hell, battery life is not as good as in Huawei. But ... new Snapdragon is also bad It does not worth to lose warranty protection for S21 Ultra and buying more expensive one from HK/US. Previous generation was different. Snapdragon was far better. Now processors are almost equal (except Snap is not that much hot). So - go for Exynos with warranty
