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€...

dran them all E408 why the USA have too pay $550
The 16GB Wi-Fi version will be available for purchase at $549.99 / €408 while the 32GB Wi-Fi version will be priced $599.99 / €445. Both versions can be ordered directly from Samsung or Best Buy, Amazon or Walmart and others.

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.

UK pricing - going up, not down!

Normally a few months after the initial surge of interest in a product dies down, the price tends to drop a little. However for some reason the Note 10.1 2014 seems to be going up if anything here in the UK, although in the States it does appear to be dropping.
The US price is now generally around $499 (plus tax) for the wi-fi model, while the UK price has gone up from under £400 a few months ago (£365 at John Lewis I gather) to nearer £450 most places.
Does anyone know what's going on, have Samsung UK increased their suggested price or something?

When I saw the UK prices, it really baulked me.
I wanted a tablet that not only worked on Wi-Fi, but 3G, 4G/LTE, but I couldn't get one, especially a 32Gb model, which I consider to be the basement model (I wouldn't even consider a 16Gb).
I nearly paid the extra for an Ipad, however I decided to do more research and in the end I imported one from HK and even when I paid the VAT on it, it came in significantly cheaper than some of the prices of the 16Gb, Wi-Fi model.
It's worth doing a little extra research and importing it yourself and get a better specified machine, at a lower price.

I could pick one up in the States next time I'm over there, but I'm a little wary of not having a proper international warranty as that caught me out once (thanks Samsung, so much for global corporations!).
16GB actually doesn't worry me as long as it has an SD card slot, much cheaper to put 64GB onto it that way than pay for a bigger base model. Well, upcoming stock KitKat stupidities notwithstanding anyway, but that won't be hard to fix.

Why buy a 16Gb one? You can get the 32Gb version quite easily over there, but the currency conversion made it more expensive to buy it from the US, also I used PayPal to pay for it, so I had a bit of protection too.
My SM-P605 has a 64Gb card in and I'm already running low on memory, so I only hope that the new SanDisk 128Gb card comes out soon at a reasonable price.

I think a few places had them on offer just before and after christmas. Got mine from John Lewis for £399 in mid jan, took ages to find somewhere with one in stock at that price. There were quite a few places charging (or trying to) over £500! I think about £450 was the average book price but so many places were out of stock, or were trying to sell the old one still at £399........

They want to sell the new Tab 10.1 at such a high price, that they had to raise that of the note, to keep people from going straight for a note instead.

Let's be honest. Samsung charging iPad+ prices for the Pro/Note series takes balls of steel. Android tablets are bought typically by bargain seekers unwilling to pay iPad prices and are typically 7-8" and under $250. One thing iPads have always provided was a certain cache and snob appeal; everyone knows what everyone else paid. With the Pro/Note's Samsung seems to be raising the snob appeal. With the 16GB iPad Air at 399 GBP whether Samsung prices at 375 GBP or 425 GBP it's still close enough that if people really considered a high-end Android tablet as an iPad alternative they'd still buy it. I don't think someone predisposed to an iPad would say "I'll buy the Samsung Tab|Pro because I'll save 50 GBP." How many people think a high-end Android tablet is an iPad alternative is a whole different discussion and will be proven by the success (or failure) of Samsung's strategy in offering the Pro/Note series in the first place.
The G-Tab 4 certainly is a step down in design and specs so perhaps Samsung's strategy is to make the 4's their volume seller (EG: BMW 3-series) and the Pro/Note's their margin leader (EG: BMW 7-series).
Apparently the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 will pack a 10.6″ (odd, right?) display of 1280×800 pixels resolution and will run on Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A7 processor, Adreno 305 GPU and 1.5GB of RAM. Other revealed specs are the 3MP rear and the 1.2MP front camera, 16GB internal storage (12GB actually available) and the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS. Digging into the GFX Benchmark database you can also find the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0. It has absolutely the same specs but less screen estate.​

I got my 32gb LTE P605 from eBay for 465. Came from HK In 3 says. No customs charges. Flashed a OEM UK firmware and all is great.

And gave up your 2 year UK warranty in the process. Or you can ship it round trip to HK at your expense to have warranty repairs done there. Does Samsung UK even service grey market devices for a fee? Samsung U.S. won't. I had to ship my UK-purchased i9100 back to the UK for a cracked bezel. Caveat Emptor.

The guy I bought it from is a dealer. He will sort any warranty issues and is in the UK. I spoke to him before I bought it.

You're right I won't. It's 0x1 anyway so I'll claim off household as accidental damage if anything happens.

Got mine from HK too. Not rooted yet but soon will and once it's 0x1 the difficulty of a warranty claim becomes irrelavent.
It cost me £439 inc. import duty.

Got a bill from FedEx . Contacted the seller and he's refunded me already! What a quality seller!

U.S. preorders for the Galaxy S6 may start March 27

I also called Best Buy and pretty much confirmed this as well
Cant wait!!

We all know that the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge won't be released before April 10 in the US (just like in other parts of the world). What we don't know is when the two new Samsung flagship smartphones will be available to pre-order Stateside, since there's been no official word on the matter. But a Reddit user may have revealed precious details about this.
Reportedly, Best Buy will accept pre-orders for the S6 and S6 edge on March 27. Moreover, another Reddit user (who claims to be a Samsung employee) says that customers who pre-order an S6 or S6 edge for Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint should receive a free wireless charging pad that will normally cost $49.99.
Obviously, for now we can't confirm these details. However, since Samsung is already accepting pre-orders for the S6 and S6 edge in some markets, we're expecting the same thing to happen soon in the US, too.
Off contract prices for the cheapest Galaxy S6 variant (32 GB) could start at $699.99, while the S6 edge 32 GB might cost $799.99. So, who's looking forward to buying Samsung's new Galaxies?

AT&T pre-orders are live.

Yup exactly why Im getting it from Best Buy!

any chance of getting a verizon one from best buy on the 27th? or at least the free wireless pad

Just as a heads up, looks like the 128GB Edge (possible the standard as well, not sure) for AT&T is web-only. This has two implications:
1. It means picking it up in-store might not happen. And if it does, it'll probably be in limited stores.
2. It means, sooner or later, they might not offer that particular SKU at all, and it'll be the first one to go. I forget which device it was that I owned, but they had a "web-only" variant of it that was actually unobtainable after only a few months and I ended up having to get an "alternate" when I got a replacement.
Also, for anyone curious, looks like the asshats at AT&T had to put their stupid branding on the back of the device.

Preordered a regular S6, first over at my local Best Buy.
Black S6 with free black Qi charger and $50 gift card. That seriously can't be beat.

Kind of, I preordered over the phone this morning.
Call up and check if your local shop is doing it. It's funny I beat the news outlets to the news, and still no reporting of it has been made.

As part of the preorder deal, Best Buy forces you to purchase a $50 gift card to use towards the phone when you pick it up. Not a big deal.

I did the same thing. This will be my first non HTC phone. Due to current reviews I'm going with this because of the camera as I use it a lot.

Should I buy it or not?

Hi, is it worth it to pay £670 ($1043) for a 64GB Galaxy S6 Edge+ with a free samsung fast charge 5200mAh battery pack. I would be importing it from Spain and it would take upto 10 working days to arrive (from launch date September 3rd). However, many people are saying, "oh the price will depreciate loads". So that makes me think if I should buy the new iPhone which will be £700 in UK. Or should I just buy the 32GB S6 Edge+ which I can get for £560 ($872). In my opinion Hong Kong has the best S6 Edge Plus because it is 64GB and has Dual Sim, but I don't know anyone in Hong Kong to post it to me
P.S. What is the difference between the Asia and Europe models - G928C and G928F?

okay, thanks. But I like my local storage. And I saw that the OS takes about 8GB so on the 32GB model you are left with 24GB and on 64GB model you are left with 55GB. I'm not sure if I should buy 32GB or 64GB. Because the euro rate is fluxuating, at paypal rates 905 euro = £683
If I pre order though, I will get a free samsung fast charge 5200mAh battery pack.
I'm still not sure which GB to get?

If you can afford it, get a 64 gig variant. I do not have much use of space but still chose 64GB variant since I know I wont be upgrading till next 18 months and it never hurts to have a few extra gigs left in case I choose to fill it up with high end games. You should prioritize and make a list of things you do in your phone and how much memory, in avg., would that consume. :silly:

I'll probably keep the phone until next august to buy the next one lol. I just sold my iPhone 6 Plus 64GB and on that I used 31GB in total. I don't know if it is worth paying £680 for 64GB. Should I wait a month for prices to fall or not?

If you can, I would say definitely wait for a month or so. Samsung price always goes down withing months, not to mention, thanksgiving is very near too... You will save some $100-$150 I'm guessing. :laugh: I'm just not patient enough!

I'm not so sure if anything is going to change within a month of the release. However, if you're open to buying from eBay, you might see some considerable drop in price. I personally do not prefer buying from eBay, and when I do, I take some time to do some analysis on the seller.

Nexus 6p real price?

What is the real price of the Nexus 6p 64gb version + taxes and shipping to Florida("free")??
I want the phone, but it seems like the price is going to be almost the same as the Note 5

(Price of phone) x (sales tax) + (price of phone) + (free shipping)= price of phone. Should be easy to figure out.

Order phone from Huawei and there is no tax and free shipping. At least it was for me and I'm in new York.

Well Florida tax is 7% if I'm not mistaken so the 64gb model is 549*7%+549=$587.43 total cost with free shipping. Let's not forget the $50 in GP credit if you buy it from google. It's still chepaer than a Note by a long shot. The 128gb model is still cheaper than most phones so its a steal for the 32 & 64gb models

You can just times it by 1.tax. So 549*1.07

What part of Florida. Sales tax depends on the county. Base sales tax is 6%, but some counties add extra. Alachua adds an extra 0.25%, Tallahassee adds 1%. Where I am in South Florida its 6%. Total for the 64GB should be:
$581.94
I bought a case with mine so if you're interested in that, $619.03 shipped.

If you can't afford and figure out the extra $30 for tax, then you really should save your money and not buy a new phone. Sounds like you have bigger problems.

Note 5 new on ebay or swappa costs less than the 64gb after tax and everything.

No where near, this is a very simple calculation.
$549 x .055(sales tax, in my case 5.5%) = 30.20
$549 + 30.20 = $579.20 Nexus 6P shipped to my door.
Note 5 retail is at minimum $792 according to this quick search that I know is not the end all, but it's a good general idea. The Verizon site agrees with Android Central on the $792 price tag.
Nexus 6P will likely be at least $200 cheaper off contract.

He is saying that if 6p costs the same as note 5, then he might as well go with the note 5 since it is better device anyways

And has to have to live with Touchwiz.

I do have the money, but Im not sure for that price for a HUAWEI phone, I can buy a Note 5, is like $100 difference
Actually Im not in Miami, I live in Costa Rica, so I buy the phone, send it to Miami and they send it to my country, so Im going to pay another 13.5% more in taxes here... Isnt a big deal as you can see my signature Im a nexus fan, but the note 5 is about $650 here and the s6 edge 32gb $550...

They charge tax in Florida, as well as California.

Just add it to the cart in Google store... Does all the math for you.

This would have been good to know at the beginning of the thread.

I see why you may think you want the note 5, Huawei is Costa Rica is portrayed as a crap brand mainly because Costa Rican companies only import crap.
Huawei is huge in China but sadly the Huawei phones that have been imported in CR are the super lower end phones from that company.
Now, Samsung sucks really, not all the phones but as a whole brand they do. now, imagine you have only used the lower end phones from samsung, like the Duos. You would have an awful image (more than usual) of samsung as a brand.
I sometimes think that is why some iPhone users stay with Apple, they "try to move to android" but instead of getting a good phone they buy some cheap android phone and start saying that their iphone that costs x3 o x4 more is better...
Anyways, you should just get the Nexus 6p and stop worrying about it.

I want the frost white, gethuawei.com only sells graphite and silver...
Already tried to preorder 2 Nexus 6p 64gb one frost white and another graphite for my GF but every time I get this: "Your order was declined because it was considered high-risk. Please try again in 30 minutes [BM-CPE-13]" i even tried again in 30 minutes like it said and it still did'nt work
However, my debit card will work on other things or stores(amazon, ebay etc), I have bought more than 5 phones for me and my family, friends etc, chromecast and tablets from google store before.
