Best Buy Selling Unlocked S7 with Exynos Processor - Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Looks like some good news here!! Hope I didn't double post ... and that best buy inst pulling a fast one and actually having the snap dragon instead...
Best buy is carrying the Exynos processor carrying S7

That's cool for some that want it through best buy but ebay's reputable sellers have the phone for about $60 or so cheaper. Heck for, 20 bucks more than what best buy has, you can get the edge on ebay. Got my edge for $700 when 232tech got their hands on it.

Well, maybe bestbuy S7 has warranty and working samsung pay?

I got my Regular SGS7 from 232tech as well. So International version don't have warranty and Samsung Pay not working ? I'd use Google Pay anyhow but Samsung not working with Exynos units ?

The downside about getting international models is not having warranty. Some do offer it but most dont. I bought a third party warranty so I'm alright.

Right now Samsung Pay only works with US carriers and devices locked to their networks.
According to this, Best Buy is giving a warranty, and it looks like they are funding it with the ridiculously high $710 price for the S7 flat.

I want to get this version from Bestbuy, according to a Samsung representative over the chat, Samsung will provide warranty for 12 months BUT you would have to contact Samsung International (whatever that means.) the other downside is that it seems to be more information about this unlocked version having some network performance issues with TMobile, So I contacted them and without specific details they said that they can't guarantee all their network features to be available in this version... I don't know what to do, I really want a version without bloatware and relatively fast updates but reliable (warranty and network performance) any thoughts ?

I purchased one of these phones from Best Buy in NYC.
When I had an issue I called Samsung for Warranty Support. I was told that they would not support this in the US - that not only would I have to connect with Samsung International but I would have to send the phone - in my case to Australia! - to get local warranty support there.
It sounded like it would be a pretty big deal to get the warranty support under Samsung and I ended up returning the phone. Certainly there are solutions to this through third party warranty and insurance, but people should just be aware that this is a potential issue...

I have Samsung pay working on a UAE firmware.

Haha yeah, read a lot about their shipping times. I ordered a really geeky t-shirt once from them (the LEDs-lighting-up-in-response-to-sound shirt) and they sent it well after I'd forgotten about it (must have been more than a month).
Yup.. so buying from them, price is good if you don't mind waiting a while.
Just a quick search on Google brought me to this.

They are notorious for selling grey market electronics. If you buy, better pray you won't need warranty service because you won't get any from Samsung.

I just called Samsung customer support 1800-726-7864 and asked if I buy phone that has international warranty and if I ever need warranty work done, will Samsung USA process it through or not. They said yes, but I would like to see if other people could call in if they have time and see what they hear. I don't know if I was wording it correctly or not, but the lady kept saying "yes all our phones have 1 year warranty". Got about 12 more hours to decide haha

I ordered a Nexus S a month or two ago and its working fine with no problems. The Nexus S came brand new like described with everything still wrapped. The one problem I had was their shipping was extremely slow. I had to email them, but they replied next day with tracking. If I had the money, I would get it.

Don't take their word for it. Call Samsung and ask.
Does anyone know what their return policy is? The link on the site just redirects to the main page. I want to know if something else comes up during the month that I wait for shipping if I can cancel or send it back when it arrives.

I will say.. no returns at all unless the product was defective. I had to deal with return for a Jawbone Icon I bought a while ago, not sure was it this site, but it was one of those deal site that ships from NY... It was defective, took a few days to RMA, otherwise, there should be no return for any product purchased from those sites from my experience.

N7100 16gb in white or grey for $589.00/shipped at Newegg.com

If anyone is looking for a Galaxy Note 2 this is the LOWEST price I have ever seen it from a reputable dealer.... :good: Must add coupon code (BLKNVMW57) and expires on November 5th... Also it includes an extended return/exchange policy and price match policy for the Holidays...

Is a GREAT price! But the 'extended return' policy does not apply to there unlocked phones. I emailed them and they said they were going to change that on the site. 15 day unopened to return for a refund still applies.
Thanks, shojus! I just ordered mine, with free 2-Day shipping from Shoprunner. Can't wait!

On-contract, AT&T will probably get you the best speed. Off-contract? Probably StraightTalk. Look into T-Mobile and see if they have refarmed your area for the 1900MHz frequency (try airportal.de). It's likely though that they haven't, making StraightTalk your best bet for HSPA+ speed off-contract. Check the provider forums and coverage maps for your area.
According to the new egg listing for those note 2's they are 3g and not 4g.
Curse you Newegg, with your extensive selection of products and competitive pricing

Many mobile phones or other digital products in China have lower price than Amazon, New Egg ,because they are carried from Europe or other countries of Asia,

The international Note 2 doesn't have LTE.
It's on my invoice also, the warranty that is. I contacted Newegg to confirm if the are extending the return policy on the phones. The 'confirmed' with there manager and was told that it is still a 15 day return unopened, which is there standard policy for unlocked cell phones. They would still allow for an exchange up to 1/31/13 and price match as well.
This is a 3g phone for AT&T...no LTE, which is fine with me. LTE will not be in my area for sometime, and I am always on wi-fi...
I pulled the trigger on the grey model tonight! I also promptly ordered the Samsung official hard/bumper case from the Samsung site, a screen protector and an AT&T Straight Talk micro sim.
Time to retire the Galaxy Nexus and the T-Mo prepaid. I'm honestly a little bit excited to get onto AT&T's network. Out west the T-Mo service gets a bit sketchy outside of the I-15 cooridor. Every time i'm in Montana, Wyoming and even parts of Idaho its a total crap shoot if I'll even be able to get voice roaming (usually on AT&T's network). And building penetration in my office in Salt Lake is horrible.

When you put in your apn for Straight Talk, don't put in the first port or proxy that it says to. It'll help so that you may not get throttled as aggressively or kicked off the network.
Thanks for the info. I also bought a note 2 tonight. Also straight talk att micro sim card. I was holding out for the 32gb but the $90 off pushed me over the edge.

Quick question, why would they kick you off the Straight Talk network? Is this related to the projected 2GB data cap?

Want a free in VR in the UK with the S7?

So last night I ordered my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge directly from the Samsung UK website and nowhere did I see it mention the free VR that everyone else is getting.
I placed my order anyway and decided to give Samsung UK a call to find out why. It turns out that only carriers are offering the VR on contracts and not on SIM Free purchases direct from Samsung, despite what was said in the keynote. The support staff told me that they had lots of people calling to complain about this and have started an internal petition on behalf of their users, the more people that call the bigger the list.
If you want any chance of getting a VR like everyone else I would give them a call and complain. It's worth a shot.
The number for support is: 0330 726 7467
The Galaxy S7 Edge is actually even more expensive in the U.K. than the rest of the E.U. (thanks to some shady Euro > Pound conversion). 639.00 GBP = 818.902 EUR vs €799 in continental europe.
There is no white version in the UK for some reason either, as opposed to countries within the Eurozone.
I have just ordered two S7 Edges on Vodafone and ensured I got a headset with each phone. I'll sell one of them to make £50 back as the other phone is for the wife.
Pretty crappy of Samsung not to provide the headset when you buy direct. I wouldn't be at all happy about that.
Thanks very much for posting this. Just called them and added my name to their "internal poll".
As you said, the more that call, the more chance this will happen.
Other details I got from them were:
- The UK region is only scheduled to get Gold or Black for now
- The UK region is only scheduled to get a 32GB model
No polls for either of those, seems like quite a "set" thing.
EE still have nothing about the gear vr on their website? i
I ordered through chitter chatter and they are giving a 64 gb micro sd card instead.
Ill give that samsung number a ring and see . THanks
A Samsung employee posted on another thread that when pre ordering, sim free phones aren't eligible, only those on contracts.
See that really wouldn't bother me if they said that at the keynote. What they did say was "preorders in the US & special countries" then later stating Europe. As the UK is in Europe and I preordered at the right time I assumed I ticked all the boxes. Instead all we get is a lousy rugby pen.....I hate rugby haha so that's just salt in the wound.

I've noticed the Samsung website now says free VR for all pre-orders before March 10th. It didn't say this yesterday, so they must have updated it

thanks for replying i emailed samsung and have a email saying we will get a vr so i have evidence now if it doesnt go to plan im sure it will though
Just a follow up, I called support asking whether the VR would show on the order and was told "we're not sure whether we're adding the VR as a separate order or onto existing ones" this explains why they're not showing on preorders.

Samsung UK is selling the S7 for 569 GBP, though which is exactly the same as 699 EUR.
On the other hand, we don't have a white option for the regular S7 here in Bulgaria and I think none of the markets have it in white, actually.
The S7 Edge, however, should come in white as well.
only voda and car phone warehhouse are giving the gear vr free so the whole free on all pre orders was just a lame marketing ploy to boost initial sales. As to the g5 I have a g4 at the minute and only the 815 international version has an unlockable bootloader unlock via lg only and bye bye warranty since the g4 has a hardware bug that is causing bootloop in the first batch devices I don't put much faith in lg for a substitute.G4 had bad overheating and touch screen issues for about 5 months till lg patched it out.

AT&T guys, any movement on your pre order?

We ordered ours 2/24 around noon. I see all these lucky T-mobile guys getting their a week early... I guess Tmo is known to do that. Any luck AT&T does such things?
Would love to get mine early.
Also, does anyone know if they ship regular, or overnight it? I sure hope it's shipped 3/7 and not later! I'm anxious!!
No movement on mine. I got the T-mobile S6 last year and got it early. Att won't ship it early. In my experience they ship overnight but others have reported 2 day.

I always consider moving to them, but AT&T has had great call quality and signal here. Would have to jump ship and realize t-mobile sucks around here.
Ordered mine at 6AM ET on 2/23 and it still says shipping on March 7th.

Yup, me too actually. Although I could do with their free international data roaming, and overall lower costs! But AT&T mostly has reception when friends with T-mobile got nothing
Ordered on the first morning both S7 and Edge, no movement.
Well, I'm on AT&T but I ordered from Best Buy, so my shipping will be different—but from what I've gathered, T-Mobile is really the only carrier who ships early...at least ridiculously early. I think they pretty much stick to their guns and deliver it by release day, maybe a day or two early if you're lucky. I'm curious as to how Best Buy works in these situations, and if the carrier you chose has any effect on shipping dates. Anyone know?
Mine still says March 7th. But the Gear S2 (free with S7) which was supposed to ship by March 2nd thru 4th, just shipped via Fedex overnight!
Guess this means the pre-orders for the S7 could ship earlier than the 7th and should also ship overnight via Fedex.

I think the last times I have ordered a phone from AT&T it came via Fedex. Most things I get shipped come via UPS, so Fedex usually sticks out.
Yes, the next 10 days are going to go soooooooooooo slowly, I already have a buyer for my Note 3 (sold way faster than expected) so want the new phone to get here asap.
I got a free S2 when I went in and pre-ordered my S7 Edge. Sweet deal
I already sold my S6 so I am back using my Nexus 5. To say I want this phone now is an understatement...lol
Was the deal on at&t? They had a deal on my local at&t for a gear s2 free with the purchase of a galaxy phone with the exception of the s7 and s7e

Says on the website "Buy a new Samsung Galaxy smartphone on AT&T Next℠ and get a Samsung Gear S2 for FREE on a 2-year agreement. See offer details."
After I placed my order for the S7 Edge I called ATT and had the Gear S2 added. Just got delivered too.

Must buy an eligible Samsung Galaxy smartphone on AT&T Next℠ agmt w/ qual. monthly wireless svc plan (voice & data). Excludes Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.
The phone rep pointed that out to me, so i cancelled my order, and said i was considering switching to T-Mobile. Appearently the rep i talked to didnt want to deal with **** and replied "I hope you have a great day and an easy time with the switch." and hung up.
So, i think tomorrow im gonna go talk to the uncarrier.
FYI, I did some research and found that ATT shipped the S6 early last year! They shipped on 4/4. I and many other on here got theirs on 4/6. The official S6 launch was 4/10/15.
So there is hope.

Really? Wow had no idea...
And now that I think about it, the rep I talked to did sound new on the job... Well I'm really thankful now!
EDIT: Actually, I'm sure ATT changed the terms without notice. Maybe had set # of stock for the S7/Edge.
Ordered early the day it was available for pre-order. No updates made since that day and I'm not expecting it to unfortunately
Just tried to reps with att and got denied on the watch as it's not eligible with the s7 or edge. Ugh

Is the 2nd Recall Official?

So there have been announcement from Samsung related to stopping the production of the Note 7, but I have not seen anything official calling for a recall.
Has the CPSC launched an official recall?
Has Samsung said anything more than that we should stop using the device and return it if we can?
I am holding out for the official recall, as of right now Samsung is not even offering a bill credit for returning the device. The first go around they offered $25. I went to AT&T yesterday and they said they would take the device back, but there would not be another bill credit.
Just curious if there has been an official recall or process for receiving a refund for the device. I figured we could also use this thread as a place to track the options once the recall is made official.
Not official but att and as far as I know all other carriers take it back no questions asked.
They added original and replacement devices to the http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/ so I would assume both returns will prompt a 25 credit by the carrier or third party gift card.

from what ATT told me.... that to get the 25 credit, i had to chose another samsung phone to replace my note 7 I had returned, and also I had to eat the 20.00 upgrade fee too, ATT would`t refund that, only the first Next payment I had paid.
From ATT website:
Customers with a recalled Galaxy Note7 may select a Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, or Galaxy S7 active or any other smartphone, and may also return any Note7 accessories. If a customer chooses another Samsung device, he or she will receive a bill credit of $25 per device within 1-2 bill cycles.

Depends on who you get to talk to at AT&T. I got the $20 access charge waived from att for my replacement. This time I'm returning it and using my wife's iPhone 6+ until I get the iPhone 7+ 256gb I ordered. I think it's time for an OS change. I have never used an iPhone before so this will be fun.

yeah I thought about change to Iphone 7+, I got one for my wife for wedding anniversary present, and I played with the zoom camera takes really nice pics, but she has had some issues with hers, and it might have to get a replacement, sometimes when try to wake it up with the home button, it sometimes it takes few tries to get it to wake up, and taking pics the camera will just close with out touching anything, and she has had it lock up few times and just sit there and is not responsive at all, shes not power user, so who know`s, and when it happens........ she said i should have just keep my iphone 6+:silly:
I'm going to miss you guys D:
I want to hold out but can't help but worry about when or where it will burst into flames…. It's stressful I tell ya.. Lol. I don't want an s7 edge had it the first recall and didn't like it only one that even close is the. LG V20 but doesn't come out till the 24th or so…… so I'm just at a loss on what to do.

Seeing as there isn't anything out that I feel compares to the Note7 I bought a used nexus6. Had one before and liked being able to root and rom it to make it the way I want. It will work till something else comes out.

yeah I`m think about getting OP3 again, I had one right before I bought the Note7 and really liked it so that`s probably were I`ll go back too. when ever OP get them back in stock.
I think im just going to keep using my N5. If rumors are true the S8 should be good (if it doesn't explode lol) and they are going to bump up the release date to Feb next year. Ill tell you this much though, its going to have to be amazing and Samsung better offer a deal to those of us that had to deal with this n7 fiasco.
If not this is the last Samsung ill use/buy

Gave mine up to Att today. Back on my OP3. I actually liked the note 7 too. Usually a nexus guy.
I actually haven't received a text from ATT about returning my note 7 like I did the first time.
