Hi guys! I'm looking for a good supplier of factory unlocked Galaxy S4 (Exynos 5) (probably SGH-I9500) from any country. Europe preferred.
Please leave your suggestions below. Thanks in advance.
Expansys or Negri.

Thank you! Expansys only have GT-I9505 (Qualcomm), but Negri has a decent price. Any other options?

Expansys USA http://www.expansys-usa.com/
Does the Octa really worths so much for you. Compare the phones before choosing. Getting Octa you probably will pay $100 more than Snapdragon for almost no differences.

What I've found up to now are:
GT-I9500 Negri $798.50
GT-I9500 Expansys-USA $799.99
GT-I9500 techno.trading(ebay.com) $797.97
GT-I9505 Best Buy $750.00 (with no activation)
Including FedEx 2-day shipping the lowest cost is from Negri, but Best Buy offer cheaper, although limited+bloated crap, operator versions.

4 x A15 (2.2GHz MAX whitesheet)
4 x A7 (1.6GHz MAX whitesheet)
Kernel 3.9 (Linaro Patches should become core components) allowing for native HMP. User configurable XULV for battery (run on one A7 ...) or XHP (run on all 8 cpus) or anything in between.
that $100 is an investment in a ceiling that has me personally geekin out. I cant convince you personally, but if Android 5.0 or 5.1 makes the jump to 3.8, its possible to patch the kernel and reap the benefits. someone would have to work their tail off on an AOSP and lose all the customizations to android by samsung, but raw potential, has the 600 way short for a sheer value proposition, increased usability over time.
ps: plus they gave EVERYONE ddr3 ... no one mentions this in the comparisons to the one, i believe however that the Z/ZL also have ddr3 sony made that a point of emphasis. always the plastic ... but no one says anything about the Ones slow ram

Thanks for the info shadym1lkman! You mean that with kernel 3.9 we'll be able to use the 8 cores simultaneoulsy?
What about the cooling? I've been having overheating issues since Galaxy S2...
Ty for the info shadym1lkman. But as cormogram said, I think that the phone will melt in your hand. On the other side, I can buy other phone or wait for Tegra or something else, but I like Samsung features. I would like to lose them.
Related with the ram, both version have LPPDDR3, but as I read, in Octa is at 800Mhz, which makes it work at 12.8gb/s, a bit more faster than the S600. But right now, the difference is insignificant

I didn't know that. Well, that's one of the reasons S4 wins the battle with HTC One. Thanks for the info again

It's fake. The is no 660w version. Only 660.

That phone is a OnePlus One knockoff with fake Lenovo logo on it. It's NOT from the real Lenovo company.
Lenovo is a very large corporation, they are not going to make cheap knock offs or purposefully put themselves in copyright infringement.

Errrr i guess 'w' stands for 'with' if im not mistaken.
OnePlus X with Snapdragon 810 Spotted on TENAA Listing.
That's not oneplus x. That's the oneplus mini.
apparently there's going to be a OnePlus X Pro, i dont like the idea, i feel like they'll start releasing too much, they can barely handle stables updates for 3 devices.
And another site calls it the OnePlus 2 mini. Until OnePlus announces the product, it's all speculation.
Better processor in this 5' is a nice idea. But hey, 810?
No,thanks.

810? Lol. I bought this opx bcoz of 801 is better than 810. :fingers-crossed:
How come the 801 is more preferred over the 810? o:
on the tenaa page it doesnt say anywhere that its a 810 processor
I think the model originally speculated with a 1.7ghz processor and 4gb of RAM is more probable at around $200. A pro model would end up selling at 2 costs so I don't think OnePlus would do that to their flagship killer. There wouldn't be any reason to get it. As for the 810, I think they could make it work, but knowing 1+ it'll be a few updates before it does
In the current year 2016, most of the high-end Android phones will ship with the Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 found in the S7/S7 Edge variants. Since the Nexus 6P was a late 2015 release (as usual), was it cost factor or inability to produce in its time frame? (In regards to them opting for a Snapdragon 810).

The 6P was shipped with the 810 because the 820 simply wasn't ready yet. The 2016 Nexus will be shipped with the 820, if it has a Qualcomm chip, which it probably will. It has nothing to do with cost, they choose what's available at the time.
Any idea what is the model number for Galaxy S10+ dual SIM - 1 TB, 12 GB RAM or 512 GB, 8 GB RAM version?
Also, a good place to order online? Canadian and USA websites have no dual SIM models on the offer and the only thing I was able to find is anemic 128 GB, 8 GB RAM version (SM-G9750) from never-msrp.
Samsung.com
Model number is shown in small writing half way down the page
UK model numbers :
White
512 = SM-G975FCWGBTU
1TB = SM-G975FCWHBTU
Black
512 = SM-G975FCKGBTU
1TB =SM-G975FCKHBTU

Thx, good find. Now I just need to find the place that will ship to Canada.
I've found this website that appears to list all the models if anyone is interested:

Never-msrp offers the 512GB variant.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Ga...im-FACTORY-UNLOCKED-6-4-8GB-RAM-/223437883429
Also the 1TB variant.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Ga...hash=item2ce7040cc2:m:msEpSV4ubm7yrAshc4bPz2Q
They ship world wide however I've had issues with Canadian Customs when shipping electronics from the USA.

Yes, I've seen those on the offer and was about to place my order, however, I've noticed that they offer Snapdragon variant. I'm looking for Exynos in order to root the device.
BTW, I've previously purchased 3 phones from the same company and shipping was very fast. Interestingly, if I buy from any other country, customs won't bother me much, however, when the product comes from the USA, customs will always slap me with a hefty fee.

Both of those devices have unlocked bootloader.

I don't have much experience with Samsung devices, however, while reading different articles, it seems that Snapdragon versions are difficult to root and everyone recommends Exynos if you intend to root your phone.

I bought mine from pdaplaza.ca. It's a 512GB model. SM-G9750. Price was pretty good, and I'm really happy with my purchase. Bootloader is unlocked. I unlocked it successfully today. I detailed how in this post:

They're not more difficult to root however Exynos variants typically have more custom ROM's than Snapdragon variants. This may not be the case going forward. The Exynos 9810 in the S9 had a higher incidence for overheating and lower battery life than the Snapdragon 845 chipset. Even now we're seeing Exynos S10 users reporting higher battery drain and overheating. This is due to the chipset's architecture which is setup for faster Single Core processing. The Snapdragon 855 in the S10 is a more versatile and balanced chipset which now exceeds Exynos in most benchmark comparisons. From everything I've read, I would be wary of the Exynos variants until such time they have overcome the deficiencies.
