Am I right in thinking this very attractive top of the range phone is only available in China?
I'm in China right now and I was wondering if it would be worth my while to buy one to sell when I get back to the UK.
I don't have one and I'm not selling here, but I wonder if you guys could give me an indication of whether there would be any demand for this:
Would you consider buying a brand new Find 5 for a premium?

As far as I'm aware, it's only available in China, for now. I've read on some forums that there may be plans to sell th Oppo Find 5 in the US & Europe, depending on the sales figures in China... (Remember though, these were just RUMOURS!) :fingers-crossed:

Yep, and given that for $741 USD you can get it in Switzerland/Germany, there's no way I'm forking out over $800 for it.
Seems that in the netherlands they list it for €590 (us$815)
I always hate it when a device is more expensive in specific regions
mobicity and smoothmobiles.com.au both have them now.
mobicity- $899
smoothmobiles- $895
im not sure whether to get one or not, its a extremly hefty price. i was planning on getting a normal galaxy S again, ( other died, no warranty cause i bought it 2nd hand and the owner is not here no more ) so i was going to get a brand new one
not sure what to do now.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to buy one me thinks - I'm addicted to my SGS and an upgrade will be awesome
Techrific has it for $889

Big bump.
So the Australian release will be around June, you guys going to get it now or what?
If its on the Optus $59 I will, if its on the $79 its too much imo, I'd rather get the Arc
I'm selling my iPhone 4 and will just buy it outright from uk, Australia is just such a ripp off.
I'm half way through my contract with optus so, I sell my iPhone for $700 and the gs2 was $724 so for $24 dollars I have upgraded. to top it of when my contract runs out I'll get the sgs3 lol yayyyyyy
Yeah replacing my Atrix with my SG2 which will hopefully be here by Friday. Ordered from Handtec as i didn't wanna get ripped off by Aus online resellers lol
Hey guys, who's getting their SGSII from where?
How much did/will it cost you (in AU$)
Is it NextG?
Which processor?
NFC?
Anyone here ordered a UK versrion of the sgs2? I take it ill have to get an adapter for the charger considering the sockets are different?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I bought from Mobicity, $900 (yay for disposable income). It says NextG compatible, no NFC and with the Samsung CPU (not NVIDIA Tegra 2)
hmmm.... I might get one from expansys.... will probably wait until next week and scope out a few other places as well.
I was upset that it won't have NFC because I believe NFC will become common use in everyday life sometime soon.... but after a bit of research I think NFC will be more commonly built into sim cards instead of phones themselves, so it's not so much an issue for me now. Also it's probably not going to hit mainstream until after the London Olympics by which time I'll have a new phone anyway.
handtec, price was AUD $700, i don't care about NFC, it is gonna be switched off constantly anyways, don't think it will get popular soon
Where to buy
Hey guys,
I've been doing some research on where to buy, I'm listing them in cost order, cheapest first. If I've missed out on a site, let me know.
If there is any reason why you wouldn't buy from the cheapest, please let me know.
I've never bought a phone online before and I'm kinda anxious about it.
I've gone as far in the checkout as I can, and prices include shipping to Melbourne, the cheapest option (no more than 7 working days).
Not VAT. Is that correct?
Currency conversions using Google on 4/05.
Unlocked Mobiles £435 $663
Handtec £456 $695
Clove £464 $707
Expansys $720
Mobiciti$914
Smooth Mobiles $924
So the cheapest is from Unlocked Mobiles, and the cheapest Australian store is Expansys.
Which store are you going to buy from, and why?
!!!!!!! I had it all nicely formatted, and the name of each site was a direct link to that website's listing for the SGSII.
But I can't post links.
Spent ages typing it up too...
my DHL online tracking still says Departed Facility in LONDON-HEATHROW - UK, same as 30 hrs ago... hm..... hope i can get it tomorrow

I can't afford to buy outright just now, so I am waiting patiently for it to be released so I can grab it on my plan with Optus! Waiting, Waiting, WAITING!
Recently I've been a frustrated Samsung UK underling, whom was unable to get any Note 10.1(2014) pricing or availability info internally.
Hence, I've been following threads in this forum in the hope of some info.
However, through a stroke of good fortune I met the Tablet Buyer of a Leading UK High Street Retailer...
The Note 10.1 (2014) 16GB WIFI only device will be priced at £479
The device will be available in approximately 2 weeks.
The buyer didn't know the price of the LTE model, which would suggest that the LTE model may not be available within a similar time frame.
Also the Tab3 LTE models will be available (Sim-Free) at the end of October priced with £100- £120 premium over the WIFI only models.
Hope this info eases a few minds!!!
Many thanks for all the great posts
all the best...
A definite pass from me then

Damn so we're looking at around £530 for 32 gb. too dear for me
WTF
Why are we always being ripped off here in the UK? Gotta buy them in the US then.
Tesco Hudl perhaps.
.
I don't care what components and specs are inside this thing. It should not be priced more than an ipad if it is still made of cheap plastic and looks like it was designed by a graduate.
Should be around £350.
Im not buying this out of principle despite being a millionaire and someone who just lost many many times over this amount in a poker game last night.
The Note 8 pricing was a complete joke but this isn't too far behind.
I don't understand why it is much more expensive than the US. $550 converted in £ with 20% extra for VAT makes £400 not £479.

I haven't yet, read a few reviews that have put me off. If it's not released here by the 14th, I'm going to take the risk.
I have received a confirmation from a major retailer here in Greece that it will be available next week. They told me that they have plenty of stock already.

Did you ask about the lte version and the prices ? btw which retailer ?
Well here in Sweden it is expected to be £550 for the wifi-only 16gb model. You do the math...
Wow, why is it so much more for other nations compared to the US?
Remember last year samsung offered a free flip-cover to all note II and S3 owners. Does anyone know of any promos for the note 3?
It's funny last year I was too late to use the promo, and the only color they sent me was a pink one.

Best I have seen is 50% of all accessories under $50 direct from them. You get the coupon code once you register your new device.

I've had my note since launch and note had anything in from them
But checking the Sammy website, I don't see many GN3 accessories so they might not be sending anything out because they have no stock yet (could be wrong).

I see what you mean. I know some of these items are available from mobilefun, at a stiff price I think. I don't really know about the details but I've heard that with customs and VAT you pay a lot more than some of us.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, mobilefun isn't cheap. I haven't seen any UK offers from Sammy yet though, hopefully they'll offer 50% off or something like they do in the US.
Do you think Oneplus One will be jacked up in price as they do with all other devices to the point that the price is no longer an advantage? I think Oneplus One will probably cost more than Nexus devices in Australia due to additional GST and demand.
They'll Jack it up, for whatever reason Lol
I reckon it will start at $400+ here unfortunately

IMO, it's pretty good.. Previously using iPhone 5.. Went to school with 100% came home with about 60%.. and that's just a two hour lecture.. with about 1 hour bus ride in total.. But now with the OPO, its go with 100% come home with about 80%.. Camera wise, it's fine for me but I don't have a really high requirement considering it's a phone

Personally, I'm getting mine sent to one of my dev friends in America. But you can use a mail forwarding company like Shipito to get it here. I ordered mine (64gb) yesterday, and it ended up costing me $400AUD including standard shipping to the States. The price is a bit inflated due to PayPal's ridiculous conversation rate, which was $0.90 instead of the $0.93 it should have been. On top of that I still need to get it shipped from Illinois to Melbourne, so all up I'm probably looking at anywhere between $430 to $450 I think.
Anyways, hi guys, ours nice to see an Australian thread here.

Hey, I'm in Melbourne too - did you get yours from an invite or 3rd party store?
I'm still hoping to get an invite but am getting impatient and might just pull the trigger on Aliexpress or similar.
Which carrier are you with?

any other got same issue?
I ordered mine last night from OnePlus via an invite, waiting on it to ship
@gerardo66 - not sure what the problem is for you there. The only physical difference is the Chinese one doesn't have CyanogenMod stamped on the back.
The 4G band difference doesn't matter over here, because the 700MHz band in the international version doesn't work here anyway.

After much thought I think a 6p is better suited for my needs. Being in the US there doesn't seem to be a big market for the Mate 8. Where would you suggest selling my brand new AL10 64gb 4gb ram version? Swappa only shows the L29 version and nobody seems to want it for a trade despite the higher value of it. I also would like to stay away from the bay. Had but luck selling phones there. TIA
Sell on celltraderonline
None of the out of mainstream phones sell well after the first initial 3 months of release. You will always take a lose with imported phones after buzz.
You have to be a little flexible on the price though. You have slim chance of getting anything close to retail besides listing on ebay. But after fees, you could sell it elsewhere with a smoother transaction.
I would have bought it but 32gb version on ebay for 415 was a better deal.

Thanks for the info. I'll try my luck on there.
As far as price, wish we would've discussed it further. I followed up and never heard anything more as I would've come down quite a bit from my initial number. Either way hope you enjoy the 8!
I hear ya man, i'm selling mine as well but if no one buys it then I'll just keep it as a spare.
