International Note II shipping on Sept. 27. $900.00!

Saw this:
$900.00!
Yesterday, we told you that US Cellular and Samsung India are accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 2 and today were made public the release dates of Note 2 for several European countries. It seems like Europe will get the upcoming Samsung sensation phone first and you should try to find more info at your local dealers to find out if you can pre-order it.
Samsung says that it will start shipping the Note 2 ‘phablet’ starting with September 27 and the first country that will get it, is Germany. However, almost all European countries will receive the device in weeks 40 and 41 of 2012. It will be released with the latest Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware and it comes in two different colors, Titan Gray and Marble White. You should check web sites of your local dealers and see if they are accepting pre-orders for Note 2.
The release dates for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 in Europe are these:
Germany – 27th of September.
Italy – 28th of September.
Netherlands, France and UK – October 1st and 2nd.
All other countries in the EU should get the device around the same dates. The device will pack a 5.5 inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, an 8MP camera, 1.6 Exynos quad-core CPU, Premium Suite for Note, S Pen stylus, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OS.
The pricing of this smartphone-tablet device starts from 700 Euro, but it might differ from country to country. Also, Samsung said that they expect to sell at least twenty million units of the Note 2, but I personally think that that number is a little out of reach seeing that numerous phone manufacturers are getting ready to launch new devices in Q4 2012.
The Titanium Grey and Marble White are the available colors, just like the ones used for the Samsung Galaxy S3. If you like big screen devices and you take into consideration the specs of Note 2, then this device is a must-buy and you shouldn’t hesitate to purchase it, even if the pricing is around 700 Euro or $900. Tell us in comments that you think about Samsung’s new Note 2 device and whether you think that it will become an instant success or not.

price is high, GPU is old....
hope HTC will release a phablet soon (im buying only htc, samsung and sony. samsung is expensive and sony wont release a phablet..).

~ 2 more weeks and my suffering will be over (on a Nokia N97 temporary cuz my original note died on me )

The reason the price is so high is because it includes the VAT (value added tax)
For those outside Europe, the price should be about $150 lower.

oh..I always thought it was a "I Gotta Have It FIRST" tax.

According to the US Cellular pre-order, it's $299.99 contract and $799.99 off-contract.

Well i preordered mine on friday in sweden and they told me they will post it to me @ 26th to have it on the release day of 27th! this month!!
Next week will be epic once again. Ive missed my Note so much and have been in some ugly phones shoes for too long...
Titanium Grey ... What else?

810$ in Denmark is the cheapest I've found so far.

did you buy the international version ?
do you have the URL of the store ?

In India, the retailers are estimating it in the first week of October. Let's see though.

European retailers have links you have in stock soon.
If you can tell me I would appreciate some.

Cheapest I've found is at http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-grey-unlocked/

unfortunately not, even the Euro versions with LTE (right now there are at least 5 different versions, not all have LTE and the ones that do have LTE only work with a limited number of networks, most Euro versions will work with ATT 3G and 2G)

Thank you very much for the link to the store if you do not know any German website send outside Europe as it seems to be the first country to receive the note 2.

oh yes october 1st for UK! Gunna have to buy this on release day!
Thanks for posting release dates crazeco

Anyone coming from s20 line of phones?

Using a Samsung galaxy s20 plus exynos version and very tempted by the oneplus 8 pro. My main concern though is the curved comers of the oneplus 8 pro as this is likely to make it difficult to hold the phone without accidental touch presses. Anyone else come from s20 line or considering coming from s20. What are your thoughts please especially now that the S20 line is coming down in price well second hand prices.

I preordered my OP8 pro 12/256 GB on April 15th, expected dispatch date is April 22nd (8/128 was sold out at the time I placed the preorder)
But now my Carrier has a special deal for S20 series, I can get S20+ (exynos) for around 715 euro on a 2 year contract. Ok, it is 8/128 GB version, but still it is 300 euro difference
My previous phone was S10+ (sold it last week) and I was pretty satisfied with it. I actually like OneUI and the possibility of rootless theming with Synergy
I'm undecided what to do now, whether to keep the preorder or to cancel it and take the S20+
important things for me as per priority order : camera, batt life, UI smoothness and theming..
how is your experience with S20+ ? camera, batt life etc ?

Phew that's a good deal buddy. My experience with my s20+ has been overall good. I don't really measure battery that much as I work from home so always have a charger. As for the camera I just take random pics and we all locked down in the UK so haven't been out to capture good pics. The experience overall has improved in terms of performance. I know they say the sd version is better compared to the exynos but have never used the sd so I cannot compare. The thing that worries me the most are the curved edges of the oneplus as they look really big and annoying. As I spend literally all day on my phone for work I would definitely find them hard to manage as most reviews keep on about them curves ?.

I didn't go to Samsung any more because I am in the US and rootable Samsungs don't have newer US frequencies. My Tmo McLaren is rooted, so no more Samsungs over here.

ebay, and yeah i can return it, and don't care if the seller doesn't like it. he mislabeled the ad for the phone having 66\71 bands for LTE when it didn't.
I hate samsung, i should've never gone back, what a nightmare especially with their CSC bs !

I have S20 ultra and just got my OP8pro. I havent set it up yet but checked it littlebit and i already hate that it has more curved screen than S20 has. Especially when Samsung started to get rid of curved screens...

I've been a Samsung user for many years, upgraded my Note 9 to the S20 Ultra and didn't feel satisfied. Today I received my OP8Pro 12Gb version and so far I'm blown away. What a mighty device, it makes me smile from ear to ear.
Let's see how this will remain after using this beast as a daily driver for a longer period.

Ordered the ultra, didn't come, cancelled it. Ordered the 1+8pro on the 20th at 1530, came at 0950 on the 21st. Free bullets.
Phone is a beast

I'm in the UK.
I was very surprised tbh, impressive, three used DPD

I am, my S20+ is on eBay now and hopefully my 8 Pro arrives today, would have preferred the blue but not an option in the UK so green it is.
Exynos is a mess this year and the camera still cannot cope with any movement at all in a scene.

I come from a long line of curved screen phones with accidental touch input..
This phone is not like that... curves are not as drastic as are made to look like on reviews.. And palm rejection is excellent as well. . just my 2 cents Love my OP8P in blue.

Right, so, I had my P30 Pro, and wanted to change with something better. Well, it's not, yet. I' e ordered S20 ultra, mega disappointed (camera, battery life, everything), then sold it, and bought s20+, which is far better, but still, the camera is the worst I've ev9seen. Try this, with a tripod: night, no light at all, from nowhere, night mode on, Galaxy S10, Note10+, S20+. Well, the camera, from s10 is impressive! And I'll post images soon. P30 was, and still is an amazing phone, at least for camera.
Now, taking these info in fact, and bringing the advantages from op8 pro, you have the answer. Op8 pro is way better for less money.

Im considering this currently with a s20 ultra with SD processor, but consider OP 8 Pro just for the development capabilities as flashing kernels, roms, etc.
However with all the FP issue after unlock bootloader and doing all the customization options this phone would allow me to do it, im starting to doubt about making the change, im reading all the days this forum to see any updates regarding on those issues, because to keep it stock i would better stay with the s20 ultra.
Any thoughts?

What would be the correct steps in your thinking to just flash another kernel?
It would be my first OP so not able to compare between samsung vs OP, but if you do, what are the points that will make you go to the OP?

Exynos is a mess every year lol. Glad i sold my Exynos S20U 5G. OnePlus 8 pro is much better in every way..

I had the s20 ultra snapdragon version briefly. It was ok, but not much different from my note 10 plus. The OnePlus 8 pro is waaaaay better to me. Especially for the amount your paying $1500 vs $1000... OnePlus all day

I have already decided to jump ship a month back. I have convinced myself on the smaller battery, smaller screen compared to S20 Ultra, 120hz FHD+.
But yesterday's news on exynos 990 is a little upsetting and making me look towards iPhone 12 in Sept.
Price should be same as S20U. around 90k for 12/128GB. Launch date 21st Aug.

Yeah I am look at maybe going to the iPhone 12

I've zero interest in an Exynos 990 powered "flagship" for late 2020.

Unless they release a Snapdragon version in India, Note 20 can't be a day 1 purchase like all the previous Samsung devices. After all these years, Samsung's image processing sadly hasn't improved, the skin tones and fine details still look smeared.. am hoping Nokia can release a proper flagship this year..else, looking out for Asus ZenFone 7 Pro to see if that's a better alternative. This year, I can't waste money on another Samsung device if the image processing and Exynos crap still continue.

Z fold 2 also is a viable option...which ll be released with Snapdragon SoC in India. But day to day usage with a very sensitive screen and kids around becomes tough to choose.
I miss the boxier design of the Note 10 plus.
Now that exynos is confirmed, hoping Samsung has done some improvements to match the 865.
Happy that the base storage is 256GB and the frame is stainless steel.

Launching tomorrow...excited and I'm getting it.
Looking forward to
1. Overall improved camera and better zoom quality
2. Spen with 9ms response time
3. LTPO dynamic 2X display
4. Wireless DeX
5. Better heat/battery management
6. Mystic Bronze brushed corning gorilla glass 7
All these should definitely make it a better experience from S20 Ultra

No, just the 3rd offer in case you are not eligible for the other 2.
1,04,999 is the actual cost.
Ultra is coming in 5G.

In India, Note 20 Ultra 5G comes in just 1 variant that is 256GB and 2 colors (Bronze and Black, no white )
As for the recycledevice website, it would be my first experience with it. Cashify also quotes 55k only.
Edit: I was expecting the price to be lesser than S20 Ultra, but OnePlus is to be blamed here, they hiked the price and marketed 8 Pro as 5G device letting Samsung follow suit.

Galaxy Note 20 Ultra - UK Pre Orders

OK Good people what did you order?
I went with the Ultra 256Gb Mystic White.
Bit disappointed at the lack of decent colours but it is what what it is.
So what did you order?
Just gotta wait til 21 August - Here we go again.

In Ireland I pre ordered the 256GB mystic bronze. Trading in my S20 Ultra towards it.

256GB in black here.

512gb bronze for me

I pre-ordered mine during the unpacked event. I am using the Samsung Upgrade Programme to upgrade from the Note10+ 5G. The process with Klarna and Samsung was very smooth. Getting the Black 512GB and chose the buds for the 'free' gift. They did not let me select a colour so I would assume they will send out the bronze ones as shown in the photo? Maybe they will send matching ones with the note colour that I chose.
There are some missing details here, but Samsung's UK website suggest that we are getting the Hybrid Dual SIM model. Which means 2 physical SIMs or 1 physical SIM and a microSD card, plus unlimited(?) eSIMs. It sounds great.
We are also missing the full band list for modem connectivity. It'll definitely work in the UK, but good to know as we are expecting more 5G bands to be used in the UK and perhaps travelling to other countries (yes, I know quite difficult in the current circumstances, but it might just happen).

ultra 256gb in white also ordered Watch 3 45mm in silver and 41mm in Bronze for the wife so nearly £2k spent

Where are people trading in their S20 Ultra? I tried Samsung direct, but its not in the listed devices for me?

It's on the trade in list on the Irish Samsung website. Just double check again.

Annual UK Note crowd I see I'm in! Note 20 Ultra ordered. Looking for a good carbon case.
Edit: and Watch 3

Note 20 ultra
Galaxy watch 3

Glad Someone got their email fine. I want to move to the note 20 but somehow Samsung has ****ed up my date for upgrading which is annoying some how.
I been upgrading to the new note since the Note 8 and been upgrading every august once it was announced at the unpacked event and this year some how my date had moved like under 2 months from when I got the note 10 (pre ordered on the 7th August through the upgrade program and gotten the phone on the 21st and according to their site for me bizarrely that equated to upgrade on the 30th September 2020).
The shop was useless and said it might arrive towards the end of August but can see I am up date with payments. I did post on the forum and one of the mods asked for my agreement number so they can look into it and hopefully they can resolve it as with the note 9 and 10 we originally had sweet fa on pre order bonuses and the one time they finally give something they had to **** up my date and stop me from doing my pre order I had always done in august.
The Camera I was more interested in getting the upgrade for but disappointed they kept their processor and the same one in the S20 and wish for the UK they went the SD 865+.

I found this: https://www.samsung.com/uk/galaxy-note-preorder/terms/
It seems like anyone selecting the ear buds as a gift will get the bronze colour by default. Oh well...

I been upgrading to the new note since the Note 8 and been upgrading every august once it was announced at the unpacked event and this year some how my date had moved like under 2 months from when I got the note 10 (pre ordered on the 7th August through the upgrade program and gotten the phone on the 21st and according to their site for me bizarrely that equated to upgrade on the 30th September 2020).
The shop was useless and said it might arrive towards the end of August but can see I am up date with payments. I did post on the forum and one of the mods asked for my agreement number so they can look into it and hopefully they can resolve it as with the note 9 and 10 we originally had sweet fa on pre order bonuses and the one time they finally give something they had to **** up my date and stop me from doing my pre order I had always done in august.
The Camera I was more interested in getting the upgrade for but disappointed they kept their processor and the same one in the S20 and wish for the UK they went the SD 865+.

I got an email a few days before the event telling me that my window opens on the 5th of August. Then I ordered during the event. Got several emails to confirm the loan with Klarna and order with Samsung. Later in the evening I got an email reminding me about the window, which was probably automated as the confirmation email about the order from Samsung includes an item called 'Samsung Upgrade Welcome Back' and I had to answer questions about the condition of my current Note 10+ 5G (which was recognised automatically) while placing the order.

It seems like anyone selecting the ear buds as a gift will get the bronze colour by default. Oh well...

Usually I would of gotten an email saying your upgrade window is open but this year I put my agreement in and it said I have until 30th September which also one of the mods found odd. Just hope they get it sorted in time for me to upgrade.

Yup and we also get the exynos and we buy it knowing full well it will throttle and then we mourn. Us Brits are a special lot though aren't we and Sammy knows it ?.

Woo hoo. Just pre ordered my Note20 Ultra which is my first ever Note. I have been a big Android user since the HTC Magic, but my last Samsungs were S3 and Galaxy Nexus back in the day. Since then I have had every generation of the Nexuses and Pixels with a few Onepluses thrown in for good measure. This year however I just fancied something different but stacked with features so I'm returning to Samsung after 8 years away. Hope I made the right choice!

I jumped from the S3 to Note10+ 5G last year and I am really enjoying it, so also upgrading to Note20 Ultra 5G this year. In the meantime I was away from Android for years.
I'm sure it'll be a good experience for you.

India Pre-Order Waiting Room

Since we will start getting deliveries only from next week in India (hoping for 25th Onwards in major cities), thought of opening this thread to share and discuss the nervous excitement we all have before a new phone comes. I've ordered a Mystic Black Note 20 Ultra. Went for it since i got a good credit value on my Note 10+ which is still pretty incredible. With exchange, I had to pay INR 55470 and will get INR 10K voucher as well. So overall a pretty sweet deal. How about you guys? From which phone you are upgrading, where have you ordered it from and which city you are from.
Upgrading from: Note 10+ Aura Glow
Ordered: Note 20 Ultra Mystic Black
Ordered from: Samsung Website
City: Bangalore.
P.S: I'd suggest previous samsung owners to check samsung shop app on their phone before ordering the note 20 ultra. I got a INR 2000 discount coupon from that app.

I think you can continue HERE instead of having this "additional" thread.:good:

Thats more of a discussion thread. All other countries have the Per-Order threads so why not one for one of the biggest smartphone markets.
