[Official] S5 Google edition - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any word on when will a Google edition version come out ?

so far no details, only rumours and speculations.

There have been rumblings that Google will announce the Samsung Galaxy S5 Google Play Edition on April 11, but for now we'll have to wait to see if those rumblings turn into reality.

I'm going to guess it will only be available to those who live in the states and surrounding areas...which is quite sad for me

You can always buy it via US google play store, have it delivered to an intermediate post-forwarding company that sends it through to Aus.
It will be more expensive yes, and you would have to pay an import tax, but it's an option.

Thanks, I'll consider doing that if it all adds up to a significant amount under 800 or so dollars

We wait for the update there in AU. Hoping it will not be that expensive.

pretty sure a GPE S5 is going to be at minimum 700 dollars closer to 800, consider they are charging more for a 16gb S5 unlocked than a 32 gb m8 unlocked...also the m8 is 699 GPE with tax ur almost at 700, whether the s5 is worth the money is your choice, personally I dont see it being worth the amount they are charging for a regular s5 let alone the premium a GPE will cost, if your only concern is stock android get a nexus 5 for half the price and call it a day.

Will it still be the anemic 16GB or will they finally offer us a 32GB version?

You have no idea how jealous I am now

It sucks that Google and Samsung are not announcing or denying the release of the Google play edition, HTC did the right thing by announcing it at the same time they announced their phone, I think it sucks buying the s5 and finding out in 3 months that there will be a Google play edition after all, yes you can flash the rom on your phone, but not everyone will give up their warranty because of it
I'm also surprised to see the little amount of interest on xda for the Google play edition, how can you live with touchwiz, it's so ugly, well maybe that's why Samsung doesn't bother, it seems the public is happy with touchwiz, only bloggers, tech magazines, designers (like I) bash it

Prices have skyrocketed in the U.S.

Can you believe how the prices have gone up in the U.S. for the unlocked international version? Heck, the price of the GN sold directly from Amazon has gone up a lot even though they don't have any in stock.
I bought one on eBay and the guy cancelled on me after I won the bid.
how much did you pay??
Bought it here for 699 Euros = 893.39 U.S. dollars
How are the prices there?
Check handtec.co.uk, they have been dropping the price each week.
Looks like $650.00 including shipping to US.
I got mine from simply electronics for £480, and it seems to be going down every week.
500 euros on amazon.de.
We have to pay BRL1800 in Brazil for you. That's roughly USD1000. Don't you ****ing dare to ocmplain on your prices =p

Agreed! I was bought one in eBay and had to return it because it was pretty beat up. While I ordered that one prices for new ones were around $650. Now they have shot up over $100! Now I am stuck with a complete set of accessories e.g. case, screen protectors, car dock etc and NO GALAXY NOTE
Here in India, it is available for Rs32250 which is roughly $611. Unfortunately, Flipcart.com doesn't ship overseas.

The prices were dropping the prior to Christmas on Amazon. The lowest I saw was 638 or so. They started to go back up and I pulled the trigger at 649.90. I noticed they are higher than that now and Global Mobiles higher also and is running out of stock.
Demand must be growing!
At&t version be released soon. once thAt hAppens the prices will come down

Maybe not, the US one has a nerfed CPU. If you want the real version you still have to import.
I have the import and it is mint with a good screen (no bad pixels or dark areas). I might sell it nd replace with the Galaxy tab 7.7 if that comes out. Still not sure though.

I think what will help is that the average consumer has no idea what a Snapdragon or an Exynos is; but, one thing is for sure supply goes up prices come down!
I bought mine a couple weeks before christmas on eBay for $680 USD with free shipping.
Once the supply is directed to the large carriers there will most probably be a shortage on the unlocked front,Samsung doesn't manufacture Galaxy Notes alone.
I was originally going to wait for the AT&T version but once I heard about the CPU I plopped 690 for the international, should be here in 4 days, time to say goodbye to skyrocket

Note keeping its value and gaining value

I have been looking for a note and noticed that the prices haven't came down and have risen in some stores. Thats pretty cool and shows its a great idea.
I'm selling my and Ebay for 600
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
oh yes! I seen the cheapest one from Amazon Fulfilled was $630 last month...I got mine for $680 - $10 (credit for future purchase) on 12/30/2011.
Now the cheapest from Amazon seller is $725.
It is pretty remarkable. I got it for $649 from Amazon two weeks ago...now it's approaching $800.
Prices will tank once AT&T launches so if you are on the fence today, I'd sell while it's hot.
No mine isn't for sale
I wouldn't sell if I bought unlocked international for cheaper than $650. ATT locked down and filled with bloat will suck. I wish I hadn't dropped and cracked mine. It also shows that it is a product consumers really want.

I don't think it is too wise to be getting the ATT version which is a big downgrade with its Qualcomm S3, especially the international version is also compatible with its network.
We got them all over hong kong. I spent 550 usd for this one.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Only reason why prices are going up is because less people are importing the Note now that AT&T has announced its version. I guess from their perspective, some of these gray-market importers are worried that people might no longer purchase their stock now that it is available in the US.
Less supply = Price jump.

I don't buy it new egg can't keep them in stock. On amazon they are going up in price when everything else decreases.
i have been looking for a galaxy note for a week and it is out of stock every where i have looked.
I noticed a general drop in supply and increase in demand for all devices, probably seasonal.
People want Samsung smartphones and there were supply problems. At some point, of 250 suppliers only 20 had the product in stock.
Also the S II increased in price and was/is available here in Europe for 450 euros, just 50 euros less then the Note. Supply dropped so much that even used S II could get more then 400 euros. The Note is at 500/550 euros here. Was sold out on Amazon (not amazon marketplace). At that moment the price of a used Note and a new Note were the same on Amazon Germany (marketplace).
But the Note is not the S II. The Note is a niche product and nobody knows how big this niche will be in the future.
On Ebay the best worldwide price for a new Note is 519 euros + shipping.
About the Note i717 version, it is not the same phone. The i717 version has lte but no exynos. It is has value in the US, but outside the US, in many countries it is not LTE compatible.
So outside the US, with the i717 version you do not get exynos and also do not have the benefit of LTE. And the i717 has this typically american modification of the 4 touch keys.

In the States everything but the note has dropped. The Galaxy nexus is down and available everywhere and so is the s2.
When the US major carriers get their version specific hand sets you would see a sharp drop in prices, increase number of users/modders and even other unwelcome posts in the forums. Till then enjoy

In the US the market for Note international is a small, unofficial, importers market.
Officially, the Note International does not exist on the normal US market. Samsung USA does not offer it or list it as an existing product.
Why should a product that does not exist on the US market fall in price?
It may even increase in price when people find out the international version is much better because it has exynos. With the price of i717 falling from everyone selling and the Note international price rising from everyone buying.

99% of the users wont care for specs, what they care is about how they get the device and how easy it will be to obtain after market support and also those phones that come free or partially paid with the contract. But lets just wait and see.

More but not by much.
The thing with the Note is that once you use it you realise how fantastic it is. This feeds through to reviews and word of mouth. Was playing with a friends Galaxy S2 today and it felt so underwhelming and small . Samsung have redefined PDAs with this device. Can't imagine going to anything smaller or slower.
I bought the white note 5 days ago and I love every second using it. Its pure magic...
White is truly beautiful on this device.

But once you go black, you never go back

Outright price?

Is it going to be around $650 outright? I have a Nexus 4 which is on its way but might switch to the S4 if it's around $400
I doubt the SIV will be 400$
but hopefully less than 700 since that's my parents current budget lol
(or else I'll have to buy it when the price drops)
it's most likely going to be at the 650-700 range for outright,
maybe like 299 on contract.
I think everyone and their mother would buy one outright if it was $400. I'd be first in line. I would guess at least $700
Even the nexus 4 costs more than 400 outside the play store lol.

Buy it now sells 1 @ US $830-840 (16 - 64 GB) w/ free shipping.
Buy it now guy also selling 20 64 GB for $10,000 and many other deals.
Here's a new one buy it now from the UK, a 64 GB for US $752 or GBP 500: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...ntageCostumeJewellery_CA&hash=item4d0a0e7d18c Note the picture though and the description says "Main Stone: Rhinestone", LOL.
I was sure any early ones would be at least $1k, but guess I was wrong. Maybe more in the $600-$800 range ?
The auctions were UK and buy it now is US. I've heard GT-I9500 (these) were selling in China already.
Is the GS4 already a relative flop, compared to expectations ? More of an incremental upgrade from the S3 ? S3 will get many software features. Is no LTE an issue on International version ?
BTW, I've bought about 20 phones in the last few years, for app testing, and most were from EBay. China or Hong Kong are usually well priced sources for most phones these days. I usually buy from a vendor that has better ratings 99+% and charges $10 more though.
WTF
where do you guys live expecting the GS4 to be 600 dollars outright?
Here in Australia, the GS3 was close to 800 outright, so I assume the GS4 will be around that same price...
Ayee, then again Australia always gets the short end of the stick,,
It'll be like $300/$350 with a contract and $600/$650 without most likely.
My guess.

While I would have liked to have seen it come in at $499 and $549, I agree that $549 isn't unreasonable.
I don't understand, when it was thought to be $499, EVERYONE was like " oh yeah, it's mine" and "take my money" but all of a sudden it it $50 more expensive and everyone is like "oh hell no, no way Samsung you aren't going to rip me off"
Doesn't make much sense to me that $50 would make that big of a deal but hell what do I know. All I know is I still plan on getting it!:good:
Yeah, I would have obviously been happier with a lower price point. But when the new Nexus 7 came out and it had a small price bump, it was a pretty reasonable thing to do. I'll definitely be getting one at release.
Yes I was expecting 499$ too .... What a shame, I'm still getting it tho

Couldn't agree more.
This was never marketed as a budget/low-cost tablet. This is the (as far as I know) top-of-the-line Android tablet for the foreseeable future. I'm pleased to see it start that low. Heck, I know that's already a lot cheaper than the Note 3 I bought, lol.
If they will do the convert Dollar -> Euro, in italy the note will cost 449€.
But i think they will sell this at 599€...

Well the comparable closet high Android tablet is Sony Xperia Z Tablet with S4 Pro quad core CPU and 2 GB ram and only 1080p display which is selling for £399.
Note 10.1 on the other hand has better CPU, more RAM, better (or at least sharper) display and Wacom digitizer, I can't see how can it could be same price or cheaper then Sony.
It's pricey but that's this the only android tablet with pen function, so we don't have the luxury for shopping around for cheaper price.
The same reason old Note 10.1 never really came down in price.

Please don't post if you can't bother to format or spell correctly.
This price does indeed suck. Samsung seems to overprice and make us wait for sales. Problem is that online purchases will be taxed soon inside the us. The note 8.0 was priced 399 us dollars at launch but can be had on sale or refurbished at 299 and below which isn't too bad. 499 and I probably would've just bought it at Newegg right away but I'll wait on reviews and some custom roms first. Hopefully someplace will have it for at least $449 tax-free before the stupid Internet tax hits.

S6 Edge could cost £100 more than the traditional form factor coming in at £649 SIM free according to reports. No conformation the memory capacity. Would you pay that much?

Official prices from Samsung Spain are frightening! € 1049 for a 128gb Edge! I do like the green though. Unusual colour.

PS Also showing on Amazon.es at the same price.
On the Samsung UK website the edge only comes in 64gb and 128gb versions so it's probably going to be £649 for the 64gb version.

Now I'm a big phone geek, but i couldn't justify £684 on a phone. I wonder if this high price point is going to hold back the popularity of this phone. It, any any other phone is just not worth that kind of money.
yes in Canada too, more than 1000CAD for the 128Gb
prices are high for this phone

Oh absolutely. If they are trying to get an extremely premium price for it, Apple could swoop in and drop the price of the iPhone 6 to draw people away. I really want the edge but I'm having a hard time justifying that much of a price jump over the standard S6.

I can hardly believe that more than 10% of those thinking about S6 Edge will go for cheaper iPhone instead.
amazon.de have S6Edge 64GB for 950 Euro ion pre-order.

On the Samsung UK website the edge only comes in 64gb and 128gb versions so it's probably going to be £649 for the 64gb version.

I wonder if that's going to be the only place in the UK you'll be able to get those capacities.

Seems to me that, if it's non expandable, Samsung have got to make the larger sizes generally available, unlike previous models.

Sorry, I was speaking of the S6 in general. While the edge is awesome, the novelty isn't worth $150 extra over a standard S6.. (If the pricing howipig posted is correct) but maybe that's just me. I REALLY want one but anything over $75-100 USD more than the standard S6 isn't worth it.
If they do it like they did the note Edge
Regular 32gb S6 will be about $699
S6 Edge 32gb will be about $799
Which are the first 20 or more countries that will be getting the Galaxy S6 Edge is what i am looking for
Mobile fun has the prices up already. There very costly and as much as I want one its not going to be an immediate purchase. 500 quid seems an acceptable amount for a phone, once you go past that it's getting a little silly.
Sure I have a note 4 but I got it on contract so I didn't really notice I paid for it.
Apple never lowers their prices even when the new model is due in a couple of weeks. Yet you see the retailers selling them at a discount because they have to meet sales numbers to Apple as part of their contract. The Carriers can lower the on contract price for the phones 4-6 months out and then again when we draw closer to a new model to clear inventory.
My only question is what are the capacities the US Carriers are going to offer, I want 128GB Edge, color is negotiable.
I have the t mobile jump plan, so I'm my phone bill will only jump up about 15 dollars more a month than it is now. Only have to pay that for a year or until I pay half the phone off then jump again next March or April. I'm probably getting the black 64 or 128 gb in black. Cheers everyone!

Ugh as much as I want the Edge, I can't justify that much of a price increase for it. =(

Nice. Not bad at all. Want the 64GB one in Gold but I'll be upgrading with EE so hopefully I can get a decent deal as I've been with them for 10 years and got a great upgrade last year. Wonder when we'll start seeing the 128gb ones.
