Different versions of galaxy note

Samwung galaxy note comes with sooo many version...
There is the original version in 1.4 ghz processor
A korean version (like mine) packed with 1.5ghz processor, 4G LTE, a tv module and a bit thicker compared to the original
And I saw another one, galaxy note with no physical button... just 4 old school touch bottons
its really confusing and disappointing that samsung is like selling different kinds of phone in one name. And with that, its so hard to customize it because of major hardware differences..

Can anyone explain why Is this happening?
I tried to search but there is no specific thread with answers. Starting a thread would be better I guess.

The home market will always get the LTE with the TV module version. Thats what they did with the SGS II as well.
The 1.4 Ghz version with the physical home button is their international version which is sold ALL OVER aside from the U.S.
the "Old School" 4 Button one you refer to is the U.S version. Its specified that all devices they sell will have the 4 capacitive buttons to follow a schema. Also the U.S version will get a Snapdragon processor. As to the reason behind why the diff processor is unknown to me. I am sure there is some tie up or standard set behind that.
Same was the case with the SGS II variants. Aside from the ATT version of the original SGS II (not Skyrocket).
Majority of the people wont MOD their device and those who do, will come to XDA to obtain the proper MOD / ROM for their specific device.

The buttonless version it's the US at&t LTE note. Basically the same as your Korean.

The reason Qualcomm CPU is used is because it supports 4G LTE, and the Samsung Exynos does not. Sadly the 1.5Ghz Qualcomm CPU is considerably slower than the Exynos chip. Qualcomm is Cortex A8 chip, Exynos 4210 is Cortex A9 chip, which is more effective and faster.

Its not an att note. Its north American, Canada is getting the exact same version on all 3 major carriers BEFORE att even gets it. So call it north American or i717.
And why its different from n7000? Because samsungs CPU doesn't support lte. So they have to use a different CPU till they have a working lte exynos cpu.

I read lots of Korean galaxy note forum through internet and lots of people in Korea have bought international version of galaxy note because of the hardware differences and other reason is that Korean version of note comes with LTE which is amazingly fast. I mean its super fast as I saw the demo of it but you have to pay a price for it!! since its just started recently. However, because its new and there are lots of places in korea where LTE coverage is an issue as well and that is why lot of people have bought international version of note as 3g data plan is unlimited whereas LTE is not...

Samsung made so many editions. Does 1.4g CPU 2- core and 1.5g one 1-core?

I live in Montreal where Rogers is one of the first to start lte. Definitely already using it on skyrocket. Can't wait to get my note in 2 days haay.

Lucky you to have LTE deployed. In France we have to wait another two years for a reasonable deployment.
It will leave me enought time to play with my non-LTE Note and wait for a quad-core LTE version ;-)

LTE is not avaliable on your hardware. You will need to purchase the 9505 variant for LTE.
So your question is redundant

I was asking if the whole lte concept is worth it, i might sell my 9500 and get a 9505 if it is.

Well ive been living in cyprus for my whole life, fast speed for me is 10mbps and the fastest speed available in cyprus from an isp is 20-30mbps, in cellular in H+ i get approx 7- 8mbps its very fast for me if u consider that my house network is 2mbps so for me is not really worth it.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium

this suggests you will be able to use LTE with your i9500

And that would be incorrect. The I9500 is not LTE capable. The E300K/L/S versions support LTE.

the reason i bought galaxy s4 GT I9505 here in italy is because of the lte radio in it. and i say the speed is very impressive. i have already tested 3 networks here namely vodafone, tim and h3g and i spend lots of money just to activate and test their speeds via speedtest.net. h3g has the fastest reaching speeds of up to 73.46 Mbps download and 13.89 Mbps upload, but it is still very costly to download files through this technology, maybe in time it will go down. however, activation of lte here in italy costs 1 euro/month for h3g, 6 euro per week for tim and for vodafone its automatically activated without cost, its the traffic that costs a lot. rigth now i am limited to only 150 Mb per day but good enough to browse the net and do my banking transactions using this phone via lte due its speed.

Yeah, to be exact, the 9505/E300K/L/S supports LTE but not LTE-A, which is what the 9506/E330 supports... I think? And neither on the 9500.

Ahaa, useful, thanks both. How sure are you about the 9506?
So if I wanted a 32gb white S4 with LTE-A, I can forget about the 9500, and potentially forget about the 9505 since I can't find it for a good price/at all in white in the USA, and also it's maybe worth waiting anyway since the 9506 is the 9505 with a souped-up processor?
Don't suppose anyone knows any more about the 9506?

It can't be far away, a telecom company in Germany will be selling it and it's soon to get FCC approval in the US http://www.sammobile.com/2013/08/17/international-lte-a-galaxy-s4-gt-i9506-visits-fcc/

Been looking into it: seems that IFA (a tech show in Berlin) is on literally now here and Samsung are currently going through their wares. Nothing yet about phones, only smartwatches & tablets, I assume they'll be the big finale.
Or not: looks to have finished, nothing explicitly about the 9506 or 9507. Peculiar. Maybe the situation with the S4 has gotten so fractured and confusing they can't even bring themselves to announce the new models?!
---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------
Apparently Samsung are planning a review to look into the disappointing sales of the S4. I wonder to what extent those poor numbers are attributable to Samsung flooding the market with a confusing myriad of ultra-similar models?
By my reckoning there are 3, soon to be 5 variants of the same model, with up to three (64gb never seen in the wild) RAM options and colour schemes differentially available depending on location, with international capabilities mostly understood from enthusiast messageboards (esp here). There's already talk of the S5. Why on earth didn't they wait a while to get everything in place and make one international LTE-A compatible variant with the best version of their Exnos chip tweaked and mass produced and working well, all RAM & colour options available from the outset?

Yep. The number of S4 variants is crackers. It feels like the phone was rushed to market to meet a deadline set by PR/marketing people who weren't communicating with engineers... that's just me speculating though!
I wonder if the 9506 will have a bigger battery? That Snapdragon 800 will surely consume more power.

[Q] Which Galaxy S4 for AT&T / Root

Hello -
I'm considering getting a Galaxy S4. I heard and read elsewhere that there are some issues with rooting on the AT&T device (no good recovery procedures, etc.)? This will be my first android device, but I'm fairly technical (and a developer) - I used to be more active on these forums in the windows mobile days. Here are some details regarding what I'm looking for:
Ability to remove all the bloatware from the device, and run a fairly stock Android version, retaining my ability to customize
Ability to use all frequencies on AT&T, including 4G (and not just on one band)
Stability
Would like a ROM that has USB audio support - I have several USB DACs and when I am done using this as a primary phone, I'd like to try using it as a dedicated media player / 4G hotstpot in my car.
Large infrastructure for device compatibilty and accessories
Decent camera/camera software
Good navigation software that works even where data connections are spotty
Choice of colors (probably want a grey/black device - I do not like the white S4)
Expandable memory (or 64GB onboard)
Replaceable / expandable battery support - this one is a nice to have, not a must
It looked like the Google Play edition had all the same bands/antennas as the AT&T version, but I'm not sure. Deal breaker there is the 16GB and white only options. Which version of this phone should I get, assuming this is even the right phone for me? Will the Note 3 be better?

If you want a GS4 that works on AT&T, and you want LTE, you have two realistic choices:
1. The SGH-I337 AT&T carrier-branded variant. The pros are that you can get it in 32GB and you have color options. You also get a ton of software features that are built into Touchwiz, including the amazing camera app. The cons are that the most recent firmware has a bootloader that's locked down tighter than a crab's ass. You can root it, but custom recoveries and ROMs are off the table.
2. The GT-I9505G Google Play Edition. The pros are that it's got an unlockable bootloader, it gets Android updates very quickly, and it's not full of carrier and Samsung junk. You can root or flash custom recoveries, kernels, or ROMs very easily a-la Nexus devices. The cons are that it's 16 GB and it only comes in white. Also, you lack some of the cool software features that Touchwiz provides because the phone runs stock Android.
If you want a GS4 that runs on AT&T but don't care about LTE, you can also buy an unlocked GT-I9500 or GT-I9505 from Europe. With either of those devices, you'll get HSPA+ on AT&T, but no LTE.

Thanks for your help. If I get an AT&T S4 phone used, is there something I should ask about which firmware it's on, where I still have the ability to root without recovery restrictions?

OK here's my dilemma I live in the States and have Lte in my location. But I'm fine with HSPA+ speeds. I've never owned an octa-core phone and I know apps are not optimized for octacore but the performance increase is still there correct? At least as far as the system goes. I'm torn on what to buy.

n9005

Get the T-Mobile N900T variant, it has AT&T/T-Mo LTE bands and works fine on both networks if unlocked. You can get it a bit cheaper than N9005 as well. I flashed a ROM that was modded from N9005's stock to my N900T so it reports as N9005 now but has full LTE support.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

Keep in mind, it's not really a true octacore cpu. It's either in 4core heavy cpu mode or 4core light cpu mode. And Samsung has specifically said they won't be updating it to actually run all 8 cores at the same time (which might be better that the sd800, but I doubt by any serious margin). As it stands, you get roughly equal performance, but you don't get 4G video or lte with exynos. That, and I believe there is a ton more development for sd800 vs exynos.
So unless something drastically changes, the exynos is just limiting you vs the sd800 version.

Using Exynos S7 Edge on T-Mobile

Hi, I've only ever used the carrier-supplied phones on their networks. However, I'm thinking of getting the international version of the S7 Edge due to the Exynos processor. I'm wondering about the following though:
1. Will network performance be ideal? ie. Could some missing band support mean I don't get full speed?
2. How will updates pushed by T-Mobile work? I understand there will be an update for the new 4x range LTE band which has better building penetration. Would an international variant of the phone on T-Mobile receive such an update AND/OR be able to make use of the new band?
Thanks,
Steven

Network performance should be fine as long as the variant you pick up has proper bands.
Updates will be pushed by Samsung instead of Tmobile with an unlocked variant.

From what I've seen one is better with certain things and the other is better with other things but even then the difference is very small.

Edit: I'm still new to the Android scene but if samsung push the update instead of tmobile, does that mean the international variant will get the update much earlier than the tmobile version?

Perhaps you work in a large warehouse with poor cell signal or a large complex building such as a hospital. Perhaps your house is at the edge of coverage where signal is unstable. Plenty of reasons why wifi calling is useful for many people.

Wifi calling is not great but if you're in an area with poor indoor coverage, that's the only option.
My office just happens to be in a dead spot. When I walk outside, I have full bars. Even the tmobile repeater only picks up 2 bars. We have stable wifi so wifi calling works best. Sometime package drop affects phone quality issue but that's the nature of VoIP.

T-mobile Wi-Fi calling is a must for my phone. Tmobile service is not existent in hospitals, office buildings and sometimes on the other side of a tree.
I keep watching tekhd thread in international to see if that is one of the "T-Mobile" rom parts he gets working.
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app

I have the euro version on tmobile, and my speeds are the same as with the U.S version, also I live in nyc where tmobile service is great so I never use wifi calling. I do miss volte though.

so you get LTE speed and everything else, except VOLTE and wifi calling and oh samsung pay ( but android pay will do) right? Because I ordered 1 from amazon so we'll see

Any reason why would wifi calling not work on Tmobile? I was able to enable and use it on my N6P so I don't see why it would be different. If I believe the international version forum, the most recent update enabled it and numerous users report using it on other carriers.

In the past i have owned phones that did not show lte on t-mobile and would instead show HSPA+ now on my s7 exynos it just shows 4g and when making a call it goes to the hspa+. Is that how the exynos versions show lte or is mine not picking up lte. Or how can i check to make sure it is running lte. Thanks in advance and from personal experience i enjoyed using my exynos s7 a lot more then my s7 edge from tmobile. The exynos runs a lot smoother.

Yes, it is LTE. You can check in the settings, phone info area or with an app to switch network data type (in which you can chooses LTE only, etc.)
