So, from what I read the GS2 coming out on the 25th in Korea is a CDMA phone.
I have a buddy in South Korea who I talk to on a daily basis. I was wondering if a Dev team would be interested in getting there hands on the GS2 phone. I can probably get it pretty quick.
I would only get one (or more) if devs want them to help boost early release roms.
Hello all,
Having observed the discussions and useful information in the similarly titled thread for US users, I decided to start this one for those of us outside the US who are interested in the AT&T variant.
I've already pre-ordered and am eagerly awaiting its release. There are a few questions in my mind such as performance comparisons with the international version, ease of unlocking, modder support, etc. Anyone found any reviews of the north american variant yet?
I guess unlocking and unbranding are not going to be problematic after developers recieves the phone. It should perform roughy the same as the internationaö version due to slightly higher clock speed. S4 uses more memory so that doesn't bring much difference either.

I'll have mine here soon. I'll post once I get to latin america and can test it out, around 1 July.
How did you preordered? You paid the no-contract price?

Im a Yank, was eligible for upgrade pricing.
All,
Last year samsung released their developer VZW N2 in 6-8 weeks.
Any info on the N3 dev edition ( 16 or 32 GB - I assume it will be black) ?
Any possible issues with availability of the device ( the S4 was out of stock for "months").
I see that there is not much hope that devs can crack this device after release -last year N2 was jailbroken in less than 14 days after release
Update:
Black ,32GB ,storage, 3200mah
Reps are saying first part of nov.
Lets see which developers will support this device
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-N900VMKEVZW-specs
VZW is only offering the 32 GB version, I really argued with them about it and got transferred to their marketing department that makes such decisions, had to leave a message and nobody called me back of course. I would assume a Dev version would be 32 or 64 but there's no way you'd see a 16GB version. Maybe the 64gb version is not available because (I read this somewhere on XDA) only the 32gb version supports LTE. The non - LTE chip requires more memory to give the same performance as the 32gb LTE version.

Aha,
thanks.
We will call u back.sure.
I am assuming that that dev edition will be avail soon - a couple of weeks after the mainstream edition. 64 would be nice, but oh well..
If dev cannot crack this open I will have to wait for the dev edition. Safe strap works on S4 but if prefer the real unlock.
N2 was (is a beast) as far as development goes.
any heads up for the timeframe of release?
thanks

Verizon's GN2 Developer Edition went up mid December last year so who knows it could come sooner. But don't expect a 64GB version we won't get it.

So a couple of weeks of extra wait. I want to wait to see if the reg edition gets jbed then get it if not get a dev ed.
Still hugging that unlimited. For now.
Thanks
If you buy a Verizon Developer Edition through Samsung, can you still get the Asurion insurance through Verizon?
In the past when I changed phones on my account I simply updated the info with Verizon so they could or should know what I was covering/insuring with them. So long as the phone is functioning at the time you add it you "should" not have any issues.
Do we know for sure vz will be getting a developer edition? I haven't heard a thing about it.
Ive read rumors on interwebs saying both will and wont get dev edition. I withdrew my preorder to wait and see if we can get it unlocked. I have faith in adam outler. He seems good at sticking it to verizon. If dev edition comes out first I'll go that way. I've experienced safe strap and theres nice features and drawbacks to it. Unlocked is definitely worth the wait

He is amazing...BUT...he hasn't unlocked the s4. I don't think we will see an unlock anytime soon. I would be satisfied with safestrap...but I'm not sure it could be done with Knox.

Adam stated in a post recently that he is done with Samsung products and is advising everyone to go with a different brand phone.
I was all set to pre-order an N3 and sell my mint N2, but after realizing all the downsides of a phone locked up that tight I decided to stick with the N2 for now.

Hi John,
did Adam mentioned why not get Samsung? N3 has the best oled screen on the market. Any other phablet with "better" custom rom support?
Thanks

I don't think there will be a Dev edition. Unfortunate.... I think I'm gonna give the g2 a try..a Lil smaller than I want....but its not locked down.
My plan is to buy the retail version then sell it if the Dev drops or return it if there is an announcement within two weeks.
For those with more Patience it might just be worth the wait!

I'm with ya on that I'm just gonna buy the Note 3 and let the devs work their magic. I'm sure they'll be able unlock it or at least have a work around like kexec. But if all fails I'll just sell mine to a stock user and go for the developer edition.

Adam is done with samsung devices...especially since they went back to qualcom processors. If the N3 had a Exynos processor Relekdev might have a chance. However Qualcom processors utilize qfuses, which once blown, make unlocking a encrypted bootloader about 99% impossible.

Same here...the N2 is still holding its own very well. I am going to hold off and see if a dev edition shows up.

yes it is. the difference is that it has access (currently) to loki, a tool that will allow a development community to grow, however it can and will be patched.
I can't seem to find anywhere to pre-order the note edge. I want a contract-free unlocked phone.

I did it at www.clove.co.uk .
I don't know in wich country you are living in but ask them about the region lock thing, they should be able to unlock it for you if this is the case.
Cheers~
How much are they charging? Or is it just a waiting list. I emailed them asking about dates, prices, and lock. Will update when I get a reply.
Any other shops out there?

I hope it is that soon.
I live in the US. I know that the Note 4 will be coming out in October of this year.
Then they said the note edge will be released before the end of this year. I did read somewhere that the Canada release was going to be the bring of 2015 and it would be after the US launch.
either way I am getting this phone ASAP.
Just pre ordered the black version of Edge from Clove in UK. Hope Samsung releases the phone soon.
Preordering in Romania
Hi there!
In Romania you can preorder the 64 gb version on quickmobile.ro at a price of about 1.000 euros!!!!
A bit too much if you ask me! (taxes included).
Lol isn't that too much must be an error
I saw this ebay ad for a Galaxy Note Edge pre-order for £559 with est delivery for 28 October to 4t Nov.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171485130761?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&fromMakeTrack=true
Seems a bit doggy - title was misleading, it says Galaxy Note 4 Edge. So I asked the following questions:
1. Can you confirm it's the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or the Galaxy Note Edge you're selling? It's confusing because the title says Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge.
2. Is this UK or International version?
3. Are you selling the 32GB or 64GB model?
4. Since this is a pre order, what are your policy on cancellation?
Got this reply back:
Hi
Follow the below link ..
www.samsung.com/uk/GalaxyNote4
2GB RAM+16GB ROM
Product is full uk spec version.
1 year warranty
Aiden
Now I am convinced its doggy!
But aren't the international versions lacking the proper LTE bands? I really don't want to spend that much $ and not get LTE!
anybody tried yatango? it says here in the article they have it omg

Hi guys,
I am considering buying this from Japan via internet, I wanted to know the following:
If Samsung releases updates firmware, will I be able to update the phone?
Is there anything else I need to watch out for?
Many thanks in advance.
how much are they selling in japan and doesnt the back cover come with those branded japanese telecom companies?

I saw them on ebay for $999.
And yes they will have the branding on the battery back.
And some wont have the LTE since the US uses a different brand for it.
Its best to just wait till he hits your area and buy it then.

Yep, its the one on ebay. I asked seller some questions about it working in UK, they replied back saying it won't work on all carriers. I will probably have to give up on that one.
The problem is no one has even the faints of idea when it would come to UK. I don't want to wait for months. Might force myself to buy the Note 4.

Waiting is better then giving in for something you don't want or spending money on something that might not work for you.
When they had talk about the note 4 I wasn't to much in to it.
I had an s2 for a very long time. Everybody ask when I was going to upgrade to the s3. But i didnt want it since it wasn't that big of a difference. Then the htc one m7 came out so I got that since it was a bigger upgrade for me.
then I got the note 3 from there.
And I know how samsung does things and knew it wouldn't be a big leap. From my note 3 to the note 4.
But then I hear about the edge and I've been waiting that phone since they show the tech demo last year.
So Yea wait for what you really want. Or you could rock the note 4 and sell it when the edge is released in your area.
or you can blow a hole in your wallet and buy both haha

Thanks for you advice. I agree with what you're saying, I know I'll never be entirely happy and will always be looking out for the Edge. But not knowing when, if ever it will come to my country is the problem.
Avenging,
Wish I could buy both but that won't happen.
I think I'll get N4 now and sell it off as soon as the Edge becomes available.
Good evening guys i am planning to buy a snapdragon note4 Indian variant.So i just wants to know as it is titled is it the "best phablet right now", is it really able to meet the expectations. I want to use it mostly for extreme gaming and modding and all.Some people have reported lag in the device, so is it a fact or a rumor.and if any Indian user can suggest me at what price i can get the device and would it be cheap online on flipkat,amazon, etc or at local stores. Reply asap. Hope to get a positive answer from the awesome xda'ins.
