Hey all, never-msrp had the black note 8 950fd for 849.99 64gb on ebay for like 1 hour before he sold out.
I'm itching for a unlocked bootloader and pixel 2 xl 128gb after taxes is over 1k! no sense in justifying that.
So i'm returning my t-mo note 8 when i buy the unlocked exynos ones, but i don't know who are trusted sources on ebay or elsewhere for this. Since never msrp is sold out and he has no idea when he's getting more can y'all source me to where to go?

with clove, conversion and shipping it's 1190 and change...
Amazon has it for 909$
BH photo has it for 979
So my ultimate question would be, any benefit from purchasing it from bh photo video vs amazon?
All other ebay sellers don't come close to amazon or never-msrp pricing as of right now..
wait it's 947 on clove , (exclusion of VAT) , so here's the thing this popped up when i began filling out order
"Samsung’s region lock stops use of this handset within your chosen country unless activated with a European SIM. I agree for Clove Technology to break the seal on the box, activate the phone and remove the region lock by completing a 5 minute call on the handset."
found that interesting-
Does clove offer warranty of some sort?

Yeah the UK phones have regional lock. They'll activate it by the method listed. If you decline, you won't be able to make calls outside the countries listed for the phone.
I got mine from Clove and couldn't be happier. They break the seal & unlock it but I couldn't tell except for seeing the broken seal. They reset it so setup is exactly like with a new phone, I couldn't even fine a single fingerprint or smudge on it. I upgraded to DHL shipping, was shipped on a Friday, I received it on Monday.
With all the crap going on with OEM unlock missing/disappear, lowest price was not a concern for me. And really I didn't pay very much more than if I were to get a SD version from my carrier or Samsung.

Take a look at Kalm_Traveler's threads:

He has a N950N on Tmobile. He's still working on the mod for the N firmware. The second link is his TMO mod for F variants. You can however flash the F firmware on your N & install the mod if you don't want to wait. He's been working hard at it & I'm sure he'll figure it out soon. I flashed his mod on my N950F & it's working great.

This is the model i purchased
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:

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)

Hi mate. I’m in the UK too and ordered it from Giztop. I ordered the 512GB model and it came to roughly £930 with shipping and 2 free gifts - the Aero Cooler and the official case. Pretty expensive but I doubt the phone will actually launch in the UK on 4th September as earlier mentioned so I can’t be bothered to wait another month.
You can also try out Aliexpress or Liaow. Both have it in stock and sometimes there are ones on eBay too.
Cheers.

I'm really curious how much the real global variant is going to cost.
I was considering the 512GB version from giztop and enjoying the global ROM they would load, but I don't mind waiting another few weeks for the official one with a locked bootloader so I can get OTA's and what not.

Can't you still manually flash updates? Global will definitely be expensive going by Rog 1 prices.
Who bought Asus ROG Phone II/Elite version 12GB/512GB from Aliexpress
Hello Everyone,
I'm Thinking to buy this as there is no global version yet here in USA, I was hoping some one might have bought this version.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000128227373.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.59e83c00ixRC7Z&mp=1
if anyone have bought this version, can you share the ROM version whether its WW or CN,TW. I know this isn't much of a big deal for some.
any suggestions or screen shots will be helpful.
Also i've consideration to go with Tencent Edition, but wanted to get the highest spec one.
Thanks

I personally think you're crazy if you pay almost double the price for that upgrade. The RAM you won't need and to pay $400 more for the storage is nuts. Get the 128GB version and save yourself some money

You do make sense, but honestly Its not big of deal for me as i bought Note 9 last year for the same price, i have been a sam/apple guy for years. I know 900~1000 $ for a phone sounds ludicrous for many. That's where the high spec phone NA market exists.
The Tencent edition is promising as its 545USD in ebay, but there is a lot of discussions regarding 4G bands not supported, so i was skeptical with thought.
my only confusion is aliexpress selling global version WW(Elite Version) 12GB/512GB or its Chinese Version or other.

According to giztop and many other sources, the 128GB version lacks important LTE bands.
Personally, it's worth it for the storage, but the bands can be very important.
I pre-ordered Tencent version 8gb 128gb from Banggood for 497€. Good price.
giztop is the best
ship very fast 12 days on italy
no taxes
paid with paypal a little bit more but high quality service
They sell the global model (ZS660KL-1A012EU) in some Asus stores like Belgium, Poland, Sweden but they don't send to other countries like Netherlands where i live.

Found a new website from Canda
Hi Everyone,
I found a link for Asus ROG II Global Variant - 12GB/512GB from Canada, for 987 CAD$ ~ 740 USD$, Its showing they ship to USA with EMS Canada for 65 CAD$, total of 1049CAD$ ~ 789USD$, surprisingly low considering Aliexpress & Giztop.
I'm not sure about any taxes it did not show up even in the payment page just 1049 CAD$ only PayPal as payment option.

Be careful from the looks of this it looks like the Chinese version with the global version flashed on-top. Why? Because in the specs it has 2x2mimo while the global should be 4x4mimo

How much internal storage would depend on your storage needs and how long you expect to keep the device. On a 256GB device actual space is around 200GB when system memory is deducted. The 512GB variant is hard to find, Samsung's US website doesn't offer it in the Verizon or Unlocked Models. I saw only one new unlocked on ebay at $2000 USD. Unless you're in a contract with Verizon or you need mmWave you might consider switching to Tmobile. Samsung US has the 512GB variant with no trade-in for $1380 USD.

Thank you. I actually found a 256 s21 ultra for 750. It wasn't an easy find but I found one at brand new too and so far I'm not regretting switching from an iPhone.
Hey guys, I will be visiting US for a few days in Jan 2nd week and was keen on buying a renewed/refurbished Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra from Amazon US. I see a few different models on the site but unsure which ones of these will work with Indian network providers. Can anyone help in pinpointing the right one? Here are a couple available options which I think will work.
