Hi all
I would buy this phone and my friend is now in China and then will go to Korea.
Where better to buy? N9005 Snapdragon, Exynos or N900S N900? Chinese.
I hope that some of you advise me.
thanks
Do you know by any chance the price in different countries?

If you have LTE in your area I would recommend getting the N9005 in Korea. China doesn't offer either the N9005 or N900, they have their own variants which all lack google apps

There's a good chance of network frequency incompatibilities if you're going to use an Asian model anywhere else in the world. Not to mention the Region lock, but both can in theory be solved by flashing and rooting.
As for EU prices:
Netherlands €672
Germany €649
Belgium €649
Switzerland 749CHF/€606
(no, I have no idea why the price in the Netherlands is so ridiculously high.
Actually yes I do: It's good old-fashioned Dutch Greed.)

best thing to do always, buy the set where you live, mainly for warrantr purposes, I have taken to dealer 3 different sets in 6 years, If you get yours from china whom are you going to claim warranty if needed? think carefully, luck

Ok, that's worse.
Good thing there's no import restrictions or costs in the EU, then. Even with shipping it's cheaper to order in another country.....
For you Americans complaining about having to pay $300, that's $1133.

Do NOT buy in China, as this will be the locked Chinese version with no play store, etc... Having said that, any phone market in China will also have the HK or international version as well (9005)... so if you're friend is smart enough to be able to identify the international version and make sure he/she doesn't buy the China version, this would be a good move. Prices for import phones in China are often quite keen, but then again this comes down to your friend's negotiating power...
I've always found Samsung stuff in Korea to be more expensive than elsewhere, and a Korean colleague of mine specifically bought his S4 in HK instead of in Korea due to this...
HK probably the best bet though. Note, reason is simply that HK has no sales tax, so is always going to be cheaper than somewhere that does... HOWEVER, some countries allow you to get tax back at the airport. For example, if you buy the phone in Germany, but you don't reside there, just show the tax receipt and the phone to the tax office at the airport and you'll get something around 15% of the price back. Note not all countries do this. China doesn't. Singapore does. HK doesn't need to. I think all of the EU does (as long as you're not an EU resident).
I personally bought my N3 in Australia a couple of weeks ago for AUD 880. I then got around 80 AUD back at the airport (have forgotten exact amount but around 80 AUD) so my actual price was 800 AUD which is 565 EUR / 773 USD. Seoul airport wanted over 1,000 USD for it. HK airport wanted around 900 USD, but note these are airport prices and this was days after launch.
never buy an android device in china, you will find that the google framework/service are all missing, btw i got my n900 in hk.

Hey people,
An uncle is coming down from US to India (my current country) and I plan to buy the Omnia 7.
Should I ask him to buy one for me...but again, will I have to unlock it???
Does it come carrier specific like the iPhone?
Do I have to "Unlock" it?
Or should I just ask him to get the phone and pop in my SIM card from India?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty sure the Omnia 7 isn't sold in the US. They have the Focus instead.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, it's not sold in the US or Canada. But he can order one from ExpanSys (who gets them from Europe).
I picked a few up from Canada before I headed to Saudi Arabia. Work like a charm. Just gotta remember there's tax, warranty, customs, shipping. Not much profit made for reselling them Manuals also came in french, but that's not a big deal if you know how to use these things.

Hey ahmadmr,
Thanx for your reply...I am not very confident of ordering a phone from somewhere else..especially from another country..there is a similar website here in India..I contacted them and they asked me to wait for a couple of days..so lets see, but thanx again..if it is available in the Middle East (Dubai) I can ask a friend to get it too...
t mobile germany is probably your best bet. ive seen a number of posts saying the phone is unlocked & i think its the 16Gb version too.

Hello, I'm about to do a trip in Vietnam in december, and I just found this website :

The wifi only version is sold around 9,500,000.00 VND (450$) wich is really cheap for where I live (France).
I wonder if the unit sold in asia can be set in french or english language, and also if there is any internationnal warranty ??? ...
Thx !

They're pretty cheap in the US too. I actually got a deal on mine when it launches (yeah, go figure...). Paid $429 for a brand new 16GB.
To be honest I would not by it personally.
If your tab will get a fault (touch the wood), sending to Vietnam might be quite a problem...
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
in canada i bought mine with a sim card with a 3 yrs data plan.
the result : Tab 10.1 4G+wifi 16GB 349$ woot!!
In fact I was looking for a replacement of my galaxy tab 7.0 and I thought the new Samsung would be the best choice. I hadn't taken a look at the tablet market from the day I bought my old galaxy tab. It looks that there are plenty of choices with other brands for less cheaper ! The acer iconia 500 and the asus transformer are in my range of prices, so I'm currently deciding for one of them ...
I'd sooner buy local, theres been time I needed to take faulty items back.
Where can I purchase the the SM910C? I can't find any reputable seller. The "C" (Exynos) is suppose to be compatible with virtually every network (and US LTE Bands to some extent); similar to the "F" (Snapdragon)
Mine is is the N910C variant, i am based in Malaysia
The C variant is sold in South East Asia i think

C-version can purchase in Russia (after 23.10 ~850-900$, but i don't know seller from us).. U-version (the same except modem) - in Korea
Dubai
Well this is the model that is sold in Dubai, UAE. Just got mine yesterday.
which shop in dubai has the note 4
You can pre-order C, U and F in Poland (but stores aren't sure yet which version they will have and the price is higher than in other countries).
Can people give us some links please
The C Variant is all I'll really need now, haha. I wonder what the sales figure is now for the Note 4 in general.

@AndreiLux,
Hi, I live in Ecuador and the networks here are Claro and Movistar. I think the 910C is the version I need but not 100%. I am visiting the States in 2 weeks and want to bring back the new phone with me, so I need to get this purchased right away so it can be shipped on time. Do you know what the difference is between the 910C and 910U? If you develop for one, will it be compatible with the other? I will be happy to contribute to your fundraiser campaign to make sure it gets funded.
I am *only* interested in this phone with a custom rom, I don't want all the extra Samsung apps. I want pure Android. So it's very important to me to make sure I buy the right phone that is going to be modded by the community.
I'm having some trouble finding someone that will ship it to the States quickly enough for a reasonable price.
Thank you.

Depends on your VAT. Anyway one of those shops got good reviews from outside purchasers and they apparently speak English and German if you send them a mail.
I would avoid Russia if possible.

Can't you simply flash a ROM (as long as the modem is the same) from a different region (other than the EU) and unlock the region-lock?

Ah I thought you were from the EU. Well then best guess is a importer which gets South American units or a Middle Eastern retailer like one of those UAE shops.
Hello everyone,
I am eagerly waiting to preorder the much-awaited S8(+), but since I do not live in any of the regions which traditionally supply the dual sim variant (South Korea? India? Singapore? China? Thailand?) I would like to know if any supplier is well known for forwarding a dual-sim S8 to Europe, and if so which one would you advise choosing.
My guess is preorders will be quickly saturated so I would like to know where I could get my hands on a dual sim S8 as early as possible
Thank you xda!
Me too, for import to France
In my opinion best dual sim versions coming from UAE. Currently I have s7 edge duos from UAE, and is perfect. Looks same like EU version (even address on backplate is UK). I had in the past s6 duos from china, all documentation in Chinese, also China address on the back. However it was working perfect.
Anyone know reliable online shop in UAE, who shipping to UK?

There is none reliable online store and I don't recommend buying from there as as difficult to get local warranty, still if you want to buy than get it from someone working or living there like friend or relative etc.
Saying reliable online store I mean, real store with good recommendation, who will send device to me without any problems. Unfortunately I don't know any person living there...

I don't agree with many ppl here.. There are lots or reliable sources in uae, well known local online stores with a track record, i personally bought from them (and i live in dubai) and i know for a fact that they ship to many customers in Europe (reading from few other threads on xda related to Samsung products) try Mike&Smith uae and try mygsm uae.. Just Google them.. Hope this helps as i did buy from both many times..
I contacted mygsm uae. They will have s8 duos in stock next week, Shipping to UK is £20, so I will use them

Thank you for all the advice, mygsm does not display price yet and Mike&Smith sells the S8+ for 4000AED (1020€) which is crazy expensive, will any reseller be cheaper, or is there any other dual-sim friendly country which may sell it for less?

That means it was imported from United Arab Emirates. I also think it means you don't have any warranty service in Romania from Samsung.
