I'm looking for a note 4 i've seen good offers of the sprint variant , Which one is the best variant? in terms of devs support
Best variants in terms of development:
1 - International snapdragon variant (N910F-N910G)
2 - Tmobile variant (N910T)
3 - Sprint variant (N910P)
The other variants as my thought doesn't seem worthy since many of them have a locked bootloader. I could recommend you take a look on the threads of each one and see the number of roms available for each. For me this is the best for the price.

Hello guys
I'm from Europe,but I'm planning to get Samsung galaxy NOTE 3 from USA.I have been reading a little bit on the forum on USA models.I have come to the conclusion that T-MOBILE'S version of NOTE 3 is best version for me to use in Europe.It has unlocked boot loader,not too late updates and I can use it here in Europe with European SIM card.Other carriers have NOTE 3 (like VERIZON and AT&T) but with locked boot loader,and from I have read,VERIZON makes updates last on their phones....
Can you please tell me your personal experience with T-MOBILE'S version of NOTE 3,so I can decide whether to get it or look elsewhere?
And if you are asking why do I want to buy SAMSUNG NOTE 3 from USA and not from Europe,the answer is because I have someone over there ,who can get it much cheaper for me
Thank you in advance
I'm with AT&T, and I recently bought the T-Mobile version of the Note 3 for just those exact reasons that you have listed.
It's an amazing device with exceptional dev support. It has the most beautiful display of any mobile device that I've ever seen. It has remarkable battery life, and it's blazingly fast with any task I set before it!
Personally, I couldn't be happier with my choice to purchase this phone.
I got mine a month ago, and I could not be more impressed. I am a flashaholic. Anyways,Go for it MAYNE!:good:
I'm glad that you like your NOTE 3.But my main question is ,should I go with T-MOBILE's NOTE 3 or some other US carrier?For the reasons I mentioned before,Europe,unlocked boot loader.....and will I be able to use everything that NOTE 3 offers here in Europe,including 4G LTE ?
I wouldn't recommend any other carrier's model, as (as far as I know) they all have locked bootloaders or are not GSM compatible.
It's hard to say if that's best for you in your particular situation as there are quite a few variables.
As far as functionality, you'll need to find out what frequencies your carrier uses for their different bands and make sure that the T-Mobile Note 3 has those frequencies as well. I can't imagine anything other than that being an issue as far as "use(ing) everything that Note 3 offers".
For my US and Canadian Friends - Do you guys think it's still worth buying the International F and FD models with no warranties in the US and Canada, and possible band incompatibility, now that the Sprint and ATT (T-Mobile coming up shortly) variants have Root via the EngBoot? Or you guys think that method will be patched soon enough and the future of Development and Root for the US and CA variants will be 0 to none like the S7 and S7E models?
Thanks for your input!
Question is the same as the title, are there other users on XDA who have considered upgrading or buying the Snapdragon Dual Sim Note 10+ over the N975F?. I am aware of the general uniqueness of the Hong Kong/Latin American/Brazilian Snapdragon devices as they have unlocked bootloaders compared to their US and Canadian counterparts. I've been doing research on these phones ever since I knew of the existence of the HK Note 8.
Development wise these N9xx0 devices don't see much development due to the rarity/relative uniqueness of these versions, but I was curious if anyone was checking for this to use instead of the Exynos Note 10+ in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and the rest of the world. I'm particularly interested in hearing from people on AT&T, T-Mobile and their respective MVNOs as I am considering getting this one to use on MetroPCS. In terms of bands I wonder if it will work out of the box similar to a user who had his Hong Kong S10+ work on T-Mobile with Wi-Fi calling/VoLTE even with the TGY CSC.
If they have an oem Bootloader Unlock like the S10's did I will definitely be getting that model over the F. There is still a shocking distance between the two chips in benchmarks, the snapdragon versions performing 20% better than the exynos versions. I will hold out for some extended use testing to come out, but it seems unlikely to change the data much. I need as much performance as I can get from my chip, and I don't really need custom roms to achieve a smooth workflow or customized experience.

BTW I don't worry much about bands with any of the new flagships coming out. You can verify on frequency checker, but most phones these days come with the same modems in all models. My last phone was a Chinese model Mate 20 X and it had no problem with international roaming on Google fi and got 4g on any chip I threw at it.
Idont know where you plan to use your device, but in many forums of other samsung devices, people getting devices from other countries, have sometimes problems regarding bands, carrier services, software updates, and most important no way to claim warranty
Mainland China = SG chip / 5G / 256gb / dual sim / limited bands
Hong Kong = SG chip / LTE only / 512gb / dual sim / limited bands
US unlocked = SG chip / LTE only / 512gb / single sim / full bands
In my case, I want dual sim but HK version doesn’t have LTE 66 and 71 which T-Mobile uses. So I am still debating.

I'm using N975F and it has dual sim
there seems to be three versions that are the most accessible in my price range, sprint, tmobile and unlocked variants. on paper, it seems like the unlocked variant actually has the least amount of att bands but i just wanted to know overall which variant would be the best for att service
Can somebody tell me whether a unlocked exynos,korean,chinese or international samsung phones will work on tmobile usa far as basics like talk,text.Note 10+ models and newer
