Will anyone have information about this variant being able to upgrade to ICS based on this model (SC-05D). Thinking of buying this variant vs the international N7000.
Or this japan variant is really closed to N7000?
Thanks in advance

It's going to upgrade to ICS for sure. When is not curtain but there's nothing to worry about. Especially because it's the LTE version. LTE is all about speed!

The Docomo variant is more closely related to the "original" Korean variant SHV-E160 or the American variant I717, because they are equipped with the Qualcomm SnapDragon processors for the LTE bands and NFC, albeit with the exact same exterior as the N7000.
I'd definitely stay away from this model for the following reasons:
1.) It will be locked to Docomo, just like the Galaxy Nexus that they price slashed on.
2.) Development will be very limited due to low ownership of this phone in XDA.
3.) LTE bands may not work at your region due to frequency differences.
4.) It requires a MicroSIM instead of a regular sized SIM Card.

Thanks a lot for your advice. Very descriptive and helpful
Sorry if this has been asked earlier, but I was unable to search and find anything regarding the following information - so here it goes:
I've seen several posts on xda mentioning a -807 (vs the -805 we have in Sweden atm) and I'm wondering what the difference between these two models are. I assume the -807 has LTE as well as a new processor, no?
Also, is there a -707 model on the way as well? In that case, I'm going for it!
I have no idea about the 707 and T807s. What I can tell you is that the T705 and T805 both have roms and root for the tablets. I havent seen any roms for 707 of any sort. So most likly, you are going to see more development for the T805 and T705 and root for those also. There is no root for T707 or t807 and migjt have locked bootloaders i think.
If I'm not mistaken the x07 models are some special AT&T models or something...

the ATT model per oldblue910 I think does not have call app (cannot make calls..data access but no calling capability)
I believe T707 is a modified T705 with the calling/texting apps removed. T807 is probably similar.
There are sub-models like T707A (AT&T) and T807V (Verizon). I think the Verizon and Sprint models have a Snapdragon processor
T807x and T707x have a Snapdragon and LTE. The x indicates carrier customizations for USA carriers (mobile phone functions removed for sure, some may even have specific LTE bands). The T805 and 705 have an Exynos and LTE, and the T800 and T700 have an Exynos without LTE.
Does anyone know if it's safe to flash the T705 stock firmware on the ATT T707 variant using Odin? I recall doing this on the original Galaxy Tab and the Euro firmware enabled the dialer for calling. Using mine on T-Mobile and would love to remove the ATT bloat.
Sorry if his is redundant, I could not find anything on Google.
I have the t807p which is the sprint model with snapdragon processor. I make calls to and from it all the time as it came with its own phone number from sprint.
The AT&T x07 models use a Exynos CPU not Snapdragon.
I returned mine.
Snapdragon is much better and lots of development in custom roms
I'm buying a new S5 mini.. and I noticed that it's G800F but there're other models like SM-G800R4..
Are they different? Will I be able to upgrade every S5 mini to the last Android version available for it, that is 5.1.1?
samsung says that they will update the s5 mini, so i think that they are going to update to lollipop evry model (F-H-R4-etc..) but , if you want an advice, there are a lot of other android phone that costs the same and have more support for update and modding..an example can be motorola, meizu is also good.
anyway that's my opinion... good luck
sorry for bad english, still learning
Yes they are different. Unfortunalety for the S5 Mini there are a lot of variants. Different CPU and so on.

Is the G800F good or not? what's the main differences than the others?
I'm evaluating to buy it in an Italian shop..
IMHO there're not differences between the models.. they only refer to different World regions:
SM-G800F for Europe
SM-G800A for AT&T
SM-G800HQ for Turkey
SM-G800H for USA
SM-G800M - for LATAM
SM-G800R4 - US Cellular
SM-G800Y - New Zealand

Thank you very much, waiting for your new info..
I'm interested in SM-G800F (Europe) because I have to order it and want to know if it's "less" than the others in some feature..
See this thread for details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/help/attention-please-4-versions-galaxy-s5-t2854134
Mine is an SM-G800Н - no LTE, no NFC. TWO sim-cards, Bought in Europe.
Keliuss
I know that Y/M/F versions have an exynos 3470 processor, the rest have a Snapdragon 400 processor, update has started for R4 version and I just read a comment that H version in Russia has started being updated. So, its just a matter of time for when our versions start getting updated.

N950F = International Version (EXYNOS)
N950U = US Version (SNAPDRAGON)
N950N = Korean Version (EXYNOS) 256GB
I do not reccomend buying from eBay unless its overseas. Lots of easy scams with eBay and Mobile phones

There is no N950K, like the US variants, all the Korean variants were unified into one SKU, which is the SM-N950N.

SM-N950F (Exynos Single SIM)
SM-N950F/DS (Exynos Dual SIM)
SM-N950N (South Korean carrier variant, Exynos)
SM-N950U (US Snapdragon 835 Single SIM variant, Locked Bootloader)
SM-N950W (Canadian Snapdragon 835 Single SIM, Locked Bootloader)
SM-N9500 (Chinese Snapdragon 835 Dual SIM, Unlocked Bootloader)
Preferably get either of the first two, they're unlocked and it doesn't really matter whether you get the Dual SIM or not since the software updates and all are the same.

Ah, that explains it with the SM-N950F/DS I have, which is the variant sold here in Singapore. I'd be willing to bet the SM-N950F has a different SIM tray.
Besides looking at the label on the bottom of the box, another way to identify the SM-N950F/DS variant is the presence of the Samsung "DUOS" logo on the top of the left side of the box, where the carrier logo would be on a carrier variant.
Additionally, Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, and Note8 sold in Singapore have an extra Samsung Singapore support sticker on the top of the inner lid of the box, and as with past Galaxy phones sold in the same country, there's an extra brochure (separated from the documentation) highlighting some features (some of them specific to here) like Smart Switch, Samsung Pay, Samsung Concierge, and Smart Academy.

It probably does, and yes the stuff you mentioned in the spoiler is exactly the same as my Note 8 which is a Singapore import as well. I too have the extra Samsung support sticker, Samsung Pay info and extra brochures inside the box.

Except, I do actually live in Singapore*, where it has a recommended retail price of S$1398, and it seems to be more expensive in Australia.
*I'm currently on holiday with some relatives in Perth, that's why I bothered to research the Australian retail price.
Oh yeah! I just remembered, Samsung Pay appears to be region/country specific. I'm not sure if there'll be a way to sideload a different country version without rooting, or if the user would have to use Android Pay instead. At least, after finding out while browsing the "My Apps" list in Galaxy Apps, I now have a second reason why I bought mine in my home country (besides the price difference).
I can post a screenshot of what I mean here, or you can watch this video I just uploaded, where you can also see my particular unit I just mentioned:
Oh, and if you want to see them, more photos I posted on Instagram, and I have even more photos of mine.

Samsung Pay will activate in your country when you activate the phone with a SIM card from that country, doesn't matter where you bought it.
Singapore's default CSC is XSP, activating the phone with a Singaporean SIM card will activate XSP on the phone and you'll be able to use Samsung Pay in Singapore.
Suppose you take the phone to Australia cause you've moved there. Reset it, activate it with an Australian SIM card. Origin CSC stays as XSP, active CSC however becomes XSA or any other Australian CSC and Samsung Pay will work there too.
Keep in mind this only applies to international model phones (N950F), and not the other variants.
The issue with the Korean Note FEs was that they were all South Korean carrier phones which meant they could only be used there for Samsung Pay and nowhere else.

Oh, I get it now. I'll go update the description of my video.
The thing is, I saw these packages in Galaxy Apps:
(It disappeared, but I remember it being there when I made the video yesterday)
Oh yeah, and a small side effect for me that can be ignored: I bought my Note8 from someone else, who got it from Singtel, and when I set it up for the first time, I didn't have my SIM card installed, which had it set the CSC to XSP, and install that carrier's bloatware. (I did it like this first because I wanted to try some stuff that I couldn't try on the retail demo unit, theming being one of them) I did a reset, and put in my M1 SIM card. This time, only "My Singtel" app installed, and I could disable that and "Singtel Apps" packages in the Apps section in Settings.
I did, however, find out a way to view the active CSC, which I remembered not being able to do on my Note3 a few years ago.
Hey guys, might be a stupid question, but I wanted to ask this, is the N950F/DS the same (or another name actually) as the N950FD ?

Yes. Technically there is no N950FD but most retailers have the dual SIM variant listed as such. That and the N950F/DS are exactly the same.

I really don't understand Samsung's choices sometimes, at time I feel totally mind boggled by some of the decisions that Samsung makes, like putting Tizen on Gear smartwatches & making it incompatible with Android Wear, why not make Gear line of run on both Android's os & Samsung's Tizen os just like our Notes & S line phones do, if they couldn't put both operating systems on the devices then why not make a line that runs Android os & a line that runs Tizen os, the same frustration with Samsung when they short the US customers with base variant phones that only come with 64gb of rom, we do always get blessed with the flagship snapdragon processor chip, I definitely appreciate Samsung for that b/c the Snapdragon processors are always better, what I don't understand is why bless the states with Snapdragons flagship processor chips but then turn around & short us by only releasing base version variants that only come with 64gb, bless us with the best processors & cut us off at the knees by only releasing a base model with 64gb of rom while Samsung releases variants with 64gb rom & 128gb rom & 256gb rom.
I WANT the 256gb version, I always go for the variant that has the largest screen size & the most memory.
Samsung should release all variants in every country, it shouldn't be a problem for anyone in any country to go to Samsung's global site or our country's site & order whatever device we want with whatever variant that we want.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 256gb Korean variant compatible with US carriers ?!!
If so which carriers is it compatible with ?
Verizon Wireless is my carrier.
Do any of you have a non US variant & if so does it fully function or is it limited ?
Is the 950F/DS or 9500 on 8.0 yet?

SAMSUNG NOTE 8 SM-N950U and SM-N9500
Hello All. Please, I need some help. I have a Samsung note 8 SM-N950U as it says in the "About Phone" option with the Snapdragon 835. When i take photos or connect the phone to a PC, it says Samsung note 8 with model number SM-N9500.
I am confused because it is a single sim device and all the SM-N9500 are dual sim device. I was thinking of flashing with the China firmware but i am scared the IMEI will become locked again.
What should I do at this point?

Boot into download mode and it'll show you the actual model number.
If it's SM-N9500, you can flash the TGY SM-N9500 ROM and you should be able to get dual SIM functionality.
