[Q] [Poll] Atrix 4G owner or Atrix International owner?

With the recent ICS Atrix 4G leak (or giveaway) I'm wondering about Atrix International version now. We have been far let down than the USA users since we have never received any subsequent GB updates that US users received. Now that Atrix International users are supporting the update campaign, including me, I wanted to run a poll to see how many of current active Atrix users on XDA are Atrix 4G owners and how many own the international version. I already can guess most active users are from USA but somehow I believe Motorola sold more Atrix outside of USA than inside. Thank you.
Update:
As 'ravilov' member rightly mentioned Atrix 4G was ATT exclusive in US. Since ATT phones are usually branded, especially for an exclusive phone, those bought ATT branded phones from outside of US should still vote the first option. Thank you.
Wow did not think that there would be so littel us people (so far)
i bought atrix in US but use it in India
I bought it outside US...but was from ebay, so it is ATT branded. Anyway, i won't choice either on the poll because my Atrix died last week...was so sad that he was not going to recieve ICS anymore. Poor little guy, betrayed by his own parents.
Thank you for your votes so far. ATT branded phone even was purchased outside of USA can be voted as "Inside" of USA. Even if you no longer own the phone, broken or sold, you can still vote. One goal of the poll is to get a rough idea of total numbers of each.
I'm also surprised ATT users are not voting, I guess the leak ROM is keeping them away from this thread
One question though, is ATT radio compatible with the international Atrix's radio?

I honestly have no idea what version mine is considered. Its a Bell Canada branded atrix that i bought in....you guessed it, Canada. But as far as
i know its still considered a US variant. I did get a GB update to 2.3.6 back in Jan or Feb, literally days before I popped my xda cherry and rooted it, lol.

Since your phone is carrier branded and outside of USA I would suggest to vote the "Outside" option. Thank you.

If it's from the US, it can only ever be AT&T. Atrix was never sold any other way in the US.

Shv-e330s(s800 vers.) does it work in others countries?

As you may know there is a special version in Korea with the snap s800 and lte-a and u was wondering if the phone works in others countries(I personally live in Italy), I don't care about the lte-a or if the lte works.
OT: what's the DAC on the s800?

Samsung will be releasing an international version, wait for that.
I can find it for 480euro, and that's why I was considering to buy it, and the international version will cost more to me.

I live in Belgium and the e330s works perfectly

Best model for AT&T and Europe

I use my phone roughly 1/2 year in the USA and roughly 1/2 year in Italy and/or Holland.
Should I get an AT&T or international model?
I'm likely to want to install CM or some other ROM on it so I'm l leaning towards the international model. But will that work with AT&T LTE? Or vice-versa, will the AT&T version work on Italian networks?

Did you ever find an answer for this? I'm wondering the same thing myself. I have an AT&T HTC One (stock, never rooted, and under AT&T contract) that I'll be attempting to use via roaming in Italy soon. I'll let you know what kind of luck I have.
AT&T has told me that the phone should work fine (which I assumed), but they said the same thing with my old HTC OneX when I went to Morocco and Portugal last year and it never worked. FWIW, my GFs SGS3 (on same account as my phone) worked fine. We had ensured that identical options were set by AT&T CSRs to enable international dialing, etc, and the SGS3 and HOX both contained the same radios, so not sure what the problem was. I guess I'll see if it's fixed on the One soon enough.

The N910U comes with the IMX240 Sony camera sensor!!

I got my Note 4 N910U a couple days ago... This is the Exynos version, which it should be coming with the ISOCELL...
So, I ran the code *#34971539# which it shows all the info about the camera sensor....
And for my surprise, it comes with the IMX240 Sony Sensor!!! I guess not all the Exynos models comes with the ISOCELL camera sensor... At the end, both sensors are fantastic.
interesting.... it should have the isocell instead

I know right... Thats what I thought... But thats the thing... I got the international N910U Taiwanese, which it came with US compatible power plug too... I am wondering if the N910U for Australia, Chile, Hong Kong and New Zealand could be different...
So far I am also getting 4g LTE with Straight Talk... So, I got lucky.... Also, the box is now confirming LTE Cat6
I have the Brazilian SM-N910C, and its "IPS Ver Check" is identical to the OP's:
Rear camera is Sony IMX240
Front camera is ISOCELL
I don't know if the sony IMX240 is a big deal or not (apprently it is!), I just know I am quite disappointed with the camera. I really expected more from it.

The low light performance is there only because it has a very wide aperture (f/2.2), which is also known as a "fast" lens. The problem with this is that it reduces the Depth of Field (DOF) a lot, and I mean *a lot*.
I am not saying the camera is bad, but just that after moving from the Galaxy S4 to the Note 4, and with all the hype around the Note 4, I kinda expected more from it.

Hey man, I've got the New Zealand version N910U, its the same spec as Taiwanese Note 4. So the camera is the same, just checked

Is it worth buying the international version of the s10 plus

As far as do you guys think it will have a decent rom and kernel development section? Because the only reason I would buy a international version is for the custom Tom and kernels and mods. Thanks In advance!!!
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
yes - there is already some development in the S10 threads for compatible mods for our phone ...as twrp is updated and installation simplified, there will be even more development.
I have the international version and find that I have been getting software/firmware updates much sooner than they come through the US carriers.

I am based in the USA, using the international S10+ on T-Mobile. I bought it from Clove Technology in the UK (very good service). It was for the same price as the USA model at the time (pre-order time-frame). My phone was delivered in NY the same day the phone was publicly released in the USA.

Alright thanks for your response.I'm on T-Mobile as well. What kind of download speeds do you get on a speed test out of curiosity using the international model on T-Mobile network I'm just curious thanks in advance for your reply take care my friend.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I'm not really up on the specifics, but from what I understand the international version lacks some of the LTE bands used by some carriers in North America. Also, some carriers apparently disallow volte and wifi calling under certain circumstances for foreign esn's.
Worth exploring further if you're buying from overseas and those kinds of things matter to you.
Yes, it's worth it. Rooting makes the phone better. You get better audio with viper4android, custom roms and customization. You get more control of your $1k phone
Using att on my s10+ exynos. Lightning speed here in Beantown

Not sure if it depends on the phone, but I'm using Google Pay and Samsung Pay (through my Samsung watch) on my rooted Pixel 3Xl. I'm able to do this by hiding root in Magisk.

This depends on your coverage. I did do a side by side test with a T-Mobile 6t, and my international S10. We were getting similar speeds side by side.
The fastest I've gotten is 110 Mbps. Which is similar to the LTE on my previous devices. Even with CA on a 6t, you get the same or similar speeds. The only difference right now for me, was my service on a call while driving. I had a little connectivity issue while on a call recently ( just breaking up here and there).
Also, it may depend on your CSC if you have Carrier Aggregation for certain bands enabled. My XSA does not.

If #benchmarklife is your thing, then each to their own, thats cool. I like to game and the Exynos game lag experience is real. Plus the Qualcomm 4G/wifi modems are the best in industry.
I also disagree on battery life, I've done a side by side comparisson with the Exynos and SD855 - using them the way I use a phone and my SOT was around 6hrs for the SD855 and under 5 for the Exynos. I would love to see your battery stats getting 8-9 hrs SOT, because, cough, it seems, cough, a little bull**** to be honest.. :laugh:
Here's a good comparison between the 2 handsets, I fail to see how the Exynos is better than the SD855 S10+. But thats ok. Im sure your own benchmarks show a different story :good:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/14072/the-samsung-galaxy-s10plus-review
For me, ultimately, the biggest issue with Exynos in Australia is that wait for carrier firmware releases.. And I'm glad I don't have that wait. The G9750 seems to be around 1.5 months ahead of the carrier releases here for the Exynos.
Ultimately the S10+ whether Exynos or SD855 is an awesome handset. Samsung did real good :good::good:
Ok nps
