I received a Verizon Note 4 in a trade and I am wondering if it is possible that it is a developer edition. How would I go about finding out?

Developer model Number SM-N910VMKEVZW it will be on the label under the battery. if it's just SM-N910V then it's retail.
Please help!
On the label under the battery write model: SM-N910V SKU:SMN910VZWE FCC ID:A3LSMN910V
it's developer or retail edition?
If you did not purposely buy the developer edition from samsung and got the phone from anywhere else, its retail.

Hello there, I live in France and I currently own a galaxy s3 but I really want to buy a galaxy note 2, the cheapest way for me is to buy one on pay as you go with another carrier but would I be able to unlock it on my current carrier ??
PS: I can't buy one with my current carrier because I've just upgraded for my GS3.
thanks

Try this link http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/index.php?phone=N7100, as Sammobile is a reputable site this should work. The N7100 is allready listed and it costs 15 euro`s for an unlock. I have not used it myself as i do not buy locked devices.
Please report back if you are going to use it to tell if it works, for other users
Honestly I'm trying to figure out hoe would I know if i have a retail edition or a developer edition? I've been searching and all I've found is that the retail can only be used with Verizon yet my phone is unlocked n can be used with other providers which made me kind of curious to find out. Is it something I can find that will tell me?
Thanks in advance!
To tell if you have a retail or Developer Edition look at your SKU number inside the phone (under the battery). Example: my retail version says SMN910VZKE
Retail - SM-N910VZKEVZW
D.E. - SM-N910VMKEVZW

Hello,
Which Note 8 should I buy?
International Version
Unlocked Version
Sprint Version
I heard the processor for the International Version is best I think it stats with an E. Should I get that?
I would like to root.
Does it matter or should I just order one directly from Sprint?
Please Advise.

Get a Sprint GT - N5100 and root it. They are cheap now for 3 year old devices. One of the best Note 8.0 inch tablets.

Will this work with Sprint?
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Factory Unlocked Phone - 6.3" Screen - 64GB - Midnight Black (U.S. Warranty)
This one from Amazon?
Should I buy that one above from Amazon or buy it directly from Sprint?
Can I root both of them?

Dude, you are in the wrong area, go to the Note8 peeps thread. This area is for Note 8.0 devices, and the info pertaining to devices could cause issues if you should follow and use on your device.
Hello someone is offering me pixel 2 xl but USA model and I'm in the UK. Is there any differences in the 2 regional models?
Do both have the same bands
Quality processors etc
Please advise as I'm considering buying it.

Same phone, but make SURE it is not the US Verizon (bastard) version that is similar to the UK's EE model. They come locked and restricted. Get the phone's IMEI in advance and run it through THIS. If it comes back GOOGLE_OPEN, you are good to go. If you run the IMEI and get either Verizon -or- Blacklisted you will want to decline. Cheers mate.

Very useful.
I've been informed it's unlocked but will try your link.
Hello,
I am quite interested in purchasing this device! I live in Washington D.C. and I was curious which model of the phone is best suited for use in America? I ask because I assume there are probably different model numbers depending on what region the phone is purchased from.
Thanks

Link to where you see it please.
I cant find an FCC cert for that model and only see it listed on Samsung India's site:
https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-a70-a705g/SM-A705GZWHINS/#specs
And from what I can see, that will not work in North America
good news is I found another version that should work so that brings us to
SM-705MN
SM-A705YN
SM-705W*
* for the SM-705W I have not seen the cert myself, but going off information another posted listed on XDA

Yes Samsung Pay Works On The A70..
But... Samsung Pay is : "Region Specific" depending on Model in a given Region. . So, choose your model carefully.

I have the SM-705MN and i can confirm that samsung pay WILL NOT WORK here in the USA.
I was wondering if anybody had the M or W and if it worked on theirs?
And if so could we swap firmware?
or even possibly change the CSC with out flashing the firmware?

Simply Put..
There is NO WAY, NO FIRMWARE SWAP, NADA... ZIP.. That Samsung Pay will work on ANY A70 in the United States Of America.
Period..
If Google Pay does not cut if for you.. time to return / sell your device and get a S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, Note 5, Note 8, Note 9, or wait for the Note 10.. if S-Pay means that much to you.
You can buy the A50 through Sprint.. and have a working Samsung Pay MINI in the U.S.A. as an alternative..
Until I found out Google Pay works in 99% of the place I personally shop.. I was going to return my A70 and go for one of the mentioned device listed above.
I still might... there is something just not feeling right about this purchase.. Great Battery, Fingerprint is Ok for me, Face Unlock is very fast.. even in the dark, 6.7 inch screen seems to be where screens are headed, Amoled is... Amoled the best. You can't root and trip knox, and use Samsung Pay on any device.. even though there appears to be a workaround for using Google Pay.. But I'm fine not rooting with Developer's not having any interest in this device and TWRP seems like a distant dream at this point..
So, why am I just not feeling this device?.. It seems perfect on so many fronts.. but.... with Prime Day coming in a couple of weeks.. and also having thoughts of spending $270.00 more and getting the One Plus 7 Pro.. I just don't know what it is about the A70 for me.. but something is missing at this price point..
Maybe the rumored A507 and A707 ( A50 and A70 ) updated models which are due out later this year will get sold through U.S. carriers or get offered by Samsung directly in the U.S.A. but I'm sure those will be Late 2019 releases. But if they do get released in the U.S. at least the A70 would have Samsung Pay support out of the box.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but just to be clear, the best model for use in the USA would be the SM-A705W (the Canadian model)?

The SM-A705MN/DS is the best for use in the US.
