I have pre ordered note 5 from best buy but I am feeling like I should cancel it. Reasons being
1. There are many things around the corner, USB type C, new nexus (hope it has brilliant display as note), new SOC's which much better performance (up to 50% improvement next year).
2. No improvement in SOC from S6 , not much improvement in camera from note 4 (same sensor), I don't have note 4 or S6 but I can get them for much cheaper price as note 5 is out now.
3. At&t boot loader will be locked.
Reasons I want to get this one
1. Best buy is giving $200 gift card on trade in so phone would cost $600 with a free wireless charger and I have to pay remaining amount on installments, so I am getting 28 weeks. (I am paying 30% up front so I can use gift card to do so)
2. Next overall good (big screen) phone would be note 6, I don't want to wait another year.
Anyone has any good advice?
If you haven't owned a Note device before then maybe you should look somewhere else. The S-Pen is what makes a Note a Note, yet you never really mentioned it being a selling point for you.
Short: No
If you have Verizon or AT&T avoid at all cost until root is obtained if you are into rooting. It's been almost a year and the note 4 for those carriers still haven't ever gotten permanent root..

Couldn't agree more. Don't buy any phone these days on locked down carriers assuming it will get full root.
No! Youde be better off buying a Note 4.
Pick up your device and use it for 13days. If you don't like it return it. Reviews will start coming out and some are already starting to prove the naysayers wrong. If you enjoy it keep it.

ATT = no root, and for sure no unlocked bootloader EVER. So no ROM's on an ATT Note 5.
I'd switch to T-Mobile, they are the only U.S. Carrier left that has unlocked bootloaders on their flagship devices
Coming from a Note 4 user, my view is No. For me, I would get the Note 4 or the Note 4 Edge over the 5.

The Note5 is a huge upgrade from an S4, night and day.
I think you should try it, what have you got to lose.
Anyway I went to Bestbuy and played around with the Note 5 and compared it to my Note 4. The thing that struck me the most is the improved ergonomics of the device. It is much easier to hold in the hand, due to a combination of the rear-facing curve and the reduced bezel making the device narrower. The home button is more pronounced, not flush mount like the Note 4. Also the glass is seemed flat at edges of the screen, not as beveled as Note 4. Which should make installing a tempered glass screen protector easier.

I don't think they have fast charging for USB-c yet so I'm glad my phone doesn't have it. Wouldn't want to lose that.
The note 5 camera does have the same basic sensor as the note 4 but the 5 takes better pictures. Especially in low light. It launches and focuses much faster, and has manual shutter speed options. Better video stabilization also.

Carrier lock and bootloader lock are two different things. I would say wait for few days and see which version gets root. I think you would be better off buying t mobile note 5, you will still get warranty, the bandwidth are mostly same, they will carrier unlock the phone when you buy at full price (which you have to as you are at&t customer not t mobile) and till now there galaxy phones had unlocked bootloader.

Yep that's the thing what makes me worrie, but I don't have money to pay front for t mobile note 5. I am getting a good deal from best buy, after all offers I am have to pay around 80 upfront and rest of the $28 months $18.5 per month.

The thing is I am putting value for unlocked bootloader, what I mean is if I am saving $100 on bootloader locked phone than unlocked one, I will go for locked one and if it saves less than 100 then I will get unlocked one, right now I am saving around $250 on locked one and getting monthly installments.

What area are you from? I purchased a 128GB G920T from T-Mobile last week. They did not have any in stock at the local store, but they were able to ship one to me. Are you saying that this carrier no longer has the 128GB option or that it isn't in store anymore? Also, I would try swappa, I have had some relatively good success there. You're looking at about $600 for the phone if not purchasing it from the carrier though.
correct

If I saw the 128 gig Edge on sale when I bought my regular S6.. I would of bought that instead..
Shame I can't find it in white anywhere, but I'm quite happy with my regular White S6..
What's gonna suck is the S7 is coming early next year, likely April is what the T-Mobile people are telling me..
Now that's the reason why they should have include SD Card slots like in the future you need a higher speed and capacity card. I discovered an app called Filmic Pro coming to android. I was excited that to tell my brother to get 128 GB high speed SD card for film recording* but found out that its not possible. Adding card slots isn't a huge loss even though majority people don't use it since the device is still being bought by both crowds anyway.
*Note: I use Canon EOS 5d Mark II and I still wanted to try out new things.

Vote and share your thoughts.
I ordered the 64gb version. I never filled my op3t with 64gb, so that just seemed like the obvious choice for me.
Picked up the 128gb.
Seems like the extra ram will be useful in the future.
8GB /128GB model. Don't think i'd use all of the storage, but the 8GB could make my phone futureproof for about two years.
I went for the 128gb/8gb version. For future proofing and the midnight black colour.
128/8 model. Seemed a no-brainer.
64/6 version.. both values are more than enough for me..
128/8 I choose. Seemed worth the little extra money for double the storage
First ordered 128 GB from oneplus.net but order delayed so I cancel the order and collect 64 GB from O2 store as I realize that on my 32 GB S7 +32GB SD card I never go higher than 36 GB so 64 GB is more than enough, most flagship phone work just fine even with 4 GB RAM, 8 GB RAM+Black color for £499 is marketing tricks to milking more money from spec. hungry people, most of my huge data stays in my laptop and external HDD and I don't install huge games in mobile . Think like £500 for OP5 if you add AKG like headphone, connector, water & Dust proof, High resolution curved screen, OIS, Micro SD slot, Refined camera chip, Wireless charging and £99 free Samsung Level speaker which is even water and dust proof and you can use it to charge your phone, in comparison OP5's price is too high, I don't agree when everyone said about cheap price or budget phone or £100 less compared other flagship phone, this is how they made cheap??
£50 for another 2GB RAM and twice the memory??
Yep I went for the 128 GB variant

Ships in 13 days for the 128 gb model. That is almost 3 business weeks or more. I am not waiting a month, if then, I can wait for the Note 8. Very disappointed in OnePlus!
went with midnight black because of color.

The big girl. No reason not to, really. I ordered on Monday evening and it showed up via FedEx this morning (Thursday). Pretty spectacular service. Haven't had time to play with it much yet but I'm coming from a 3T and can't wait.
8gb/128gb Midnight Black! Well bigger is better and if you say it's not, well let's just say you're hiding something! I'll never use the 128gb up but 2gb of extra ram certainly will increase efficiency.
I just loaded 86GB of FLAC to mine, so... yeah. Good to have room! Might get a few movies on there before I call it quits.
I'm truly baffled that anyone would buy the 6g/64gb version when there is an 8g/128gb version for $60 more.
Most companies charge you $100 to go from 64 to 128,and then there is the added ram, which arguably isn't needed, but why not have it if it's available.
Honestly there is no legitimate reason for getting the lower model.

I got the 6gb/64gb version. I had already made up my mind that I would get the OP5 as long as it was under $500. The price difference wasn't that much for the black one so I was willing to break the $500 budget I set for myself. But it was out of stock when I tried to order it. Either way, it's still more storage and ram than any other phone I've had and 64gb was the largest SD card I have ever needed personally.

So starting first thread of Note9
Guys please post latest info about availability of Note 9 Specifically in India
Currently in India only Pre-registration (Interest) started hopefully pre-book should start soon after lauching (9thAug18)
So got the device demo and checked following things
1.OEM Unlock available out of box on indian version
2.unfortunately infinity WP with animation while unlock is removed. Though I have checked sources on dump framework and it's partially removed so I still have hope for custom rom users
3.A/B seamless updates I don't found
4.treble support enabled
5.Dolby no much different from s9+ (I felt same like on my N8 ported rom)
6.Spen have option long press - open camera
While with single press some action according app opened
Camera - take picture
Gallery - next, double click previous
Same with music tracks
7.I couldn't confirm but according dealer, both SIM will work with LTE
Note 9 coming with Gear S3 for 4k extra ?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I have a Note 8 and interested in what Samsung will offer to those wishing to upgrade. If the cost of the Note 9 works out to under 30k, after the buyback and cashbacks, I will surely be tempted to upgrade!
128 gb or 512 gb
What do you guys suggest......Is it worth spending 17k extra for 384 GB storage and 2 GB RAM.........
I am currently using S7 edge 128 GB version and have only 8-10 GB free on internal storage. If given an option, would want to keep max internal memory to avoid deleting any photos/videos from phone and get into hassles of managing it on memory card, but is paying extra 17k worth it. I am inclined towards going for 512 GB, Others ??
Unless you are rooted with TWRP, having extra space as internal storage is always pain. If anytime you need to factory reset on stock non rooted, you gonna lose everything, and we never know when device mess up and need to do factory reset. I prefer to have Ext SD to keep static data without bothering losing it (Though ext sd can corrupt but no nothing is forever lol !)
I won't pay extra for just storage. RAM I believe also enough with 128GB

Rooting from day 1 or as and when root is available is obvious. And i had a lot of memory cards going kaput. Logically it doesn't make sense to pay 17k for storage, but emotionally inclined towards 512 GB
Preorder offers currently, are as as lame as S9/S9+ offers when first launched. Within a few weeks it'll be much more attractive for sure.

Pre-booked ocean blue 128gb from Samsung website, just wondering if I'll be able to use it with 2017 gear vr. Anyone has any idea if it'll be possible?
I checked the upgrade option in the My Galaxy app and I am getting a quote of Rs 38550 for my Note 8. This includes the Rs 6000 exchange bonus. So the 128GB Note 9 will work out to 29350.
Now the big question -- is it worth it?
Also, is 38,550 a good price for a one year old Note 8 without any scratches or issues? Or will I get a better price if I sell it directly to some shop or on Cashify?

Very much subjective. If we think, we are losing almost half amount for one year old device when we selling it but that's also true, we don't get more money than this. Here two things are important
1.If you look for budget, think your self what you are getting extra with 30K? If you convince yourself then go for it else leave.
2.No issue of budget and you are crazy, then go for it.

Hello guys, I'm planning to buy note 9 in exchange of my 4 months old S9 plus 128 GB version. My galaxy app is showing me an exchange price of 47,750. Should I go for it? It Will be my first note device bdw ?
Though it has same 9810 exynos processor as s9+ can I expect something different? Would've loved SD 845 instead.
Are we getting gear s3 or gear sport for 4999? Yesterday it was s3 but today it is showing gear sport. Am I missing something?

I just got it through verizon. I could of bought it from ebay new for 800 something but paying 40 something a month for 24 months is just better for me at the time being even though its like 200 more. I absolutely love it! it really is a perfect phone at this point of time. I only got the 128 gb version. does the verizon version have roms and stuff? would you?
got the blue 128GB version from ATT
not a single regret will use for at least 4 years +
not looking to custom rom or even root it not even dev mode is enabled
I'm sick and tired of that stuff tbh ^^^ it just all werks now
Got a Black 128 N960FD, bought it outright.
It's certainly worth the money if you ask me, imo best android phone of 2018.
Would love to have the option to install a custom ROM, obviously it's possible on the N960FD but Samsung illegally voids the warranty if you do, so won't be happening for a while.
Yes, it's worth the money. True flagship not a crippled one.
Display is probably the best in the market with curved QHD+
Stereo speakers. OS liking is subjective but I like how Samsung has improved over the years from S3(my first flagship phone) with no lags.
Only downside coming to N9 from OnePlus is the charging time. It takes more than an hour to charge completely.
I got it for 700$ so I'm happy
56k INR and am not complaining
I got my blue 512GB for £949 direct from Samsung because of the mess around got £150 off which for me was brilliant. I only pay about £35 a month for it for 24months on the upgrade programme which definitely works out great no interest and then only have an £8 sim only deal. When I get round to trying to sell my oneplus 5 and put that towards the phone it should drop to about 25 a month aswell. I do feel it's a great phone. I've never really tried Samsung before. Charging is a pain plus I'm using wireless charge when ever I do and there have been 2 or 3 times already when I haven't placed it on my wireless dock properly so it's not charged. And I dont think battery life is what its cracked up to be tbh. But overall it's a very nice phone.
I love this device, BUT, if I hadn't of got 20% off the price, there is NO WAY I would of paid the full price. In my opinion, it is definitely not worth the stupid amount of money they are charging.
It's worth every penny! You just don't get such a complete package anywhere else. Pretty much no compromises. It felt like a decent upgrade from the Note8 which was excellent too. It's very significant, even though it's only an incremental upgrade! This phone just has everything I ask for in a smartphone. Signed my new work contract with the S Pen! How cool is that?!
I have the 128GB variant but I also have my 128GB Samsung MicroSD Card from my Note8, so I can't complain about storage!
Pre-Ordered it with EE for £68 / month with 60GB of Data and unlimited everything. Got Apple music for 6 months with it to replace my £10/month of Spotify or Google Play, so It's like £58 for the first 6 months.
Also, I found Apple Music better than both!
I paid about $600 (net cost after selling my Note8 on Swappa), and got a free AKG NC BT headset, free Dex station, free wireless Duo charger, and a free Note9 adapter for my previous Note8 GearVR. I'm happy with that combination. No complaints about the phone.
I've had this thing for two days now and yes, it is the only $1000 phone that actually justifies its price. Design, features, battery, spen, beautiful screen and stellar performance. Tried the iPhone Xs max for a couple of days and got bored with it the first 15 minutes. This phone is amazing. Not regretting any penny spent on it. Got it through tmobile for zero $ down at $850. Not bad. Gonna keep it for a while.

I traded in my S9 with TMO jump, 0 down. Never owned a real flagship phone like the Note 9. Hands down best performance, speed, battery life I've ever had on any phone.
Once you go midnight black, you never go back!
Would you guys switch from a Note 8 to a Note 9? Debating since I like having the more internal storage.

It's worth every penny! You just don't get such a complete package anywhere else. Pretty much no compromises. It felt like a decent upgrade from the Note8 which was excellent too. It's very significant, even though it's only an incremental upgrade! This phone just has everything I ask for in a smartphone. Signed my new work contract with the S Pen! How cool is that?!
I have the 128GB variant but I also have my 128GB Samsung MicroSD Card from my Note8, so I can't complain about storage!
Pre-Ordered it with EE for £68 / month with 60GB of Data and unlimited everything. Got Apple music for 6 months with it to replace my £10/month of Spotify or Google Play, so It's like £58 for the first 6 months.
Also, I found Apple Music better than both!

Yeah it is worth it for more storage and a bigger battery
Was at first hesitant about upgrading from the note 8. After having done it, I'm pleased with the decision.
Coming from a Note 8 I'm happy. I gave my wife the Note 8 and traded her S8+ in that had quite a bad pink hue to the screen. I got the phone for $765 after taxes and trade in. This is the best bang for the buck for what's out there and no notch.

I upgraded from N8 to N9. No regrets here. It's not really that much of an upgrade. Day to day performance, you won't notice any difference. The camera is improved, and the Bluetooth S-Pen is cool. I actually like how the new pen feels in my hand. It's just a hair thicker. And I know EVERYONE had the Deep Ocean Blue color, but I love it. Absolutely beautiful color. And I personally like the contrasting yellow pen.
I paid $700 for mine on eBay. T-Mobile version. Barely used. It still had the factory plastic on the frame! And the original owner put a clear protective skin on the back and had a screen protector on it. So it was perfect. All new unused accessories and a Speck Grip case. It was a great deal!!

I kept my Note 8 as my backup phone, and sold my Pixel 2 XL.
