I ordered a One X and receive an Asian 16GB model. I was wondering if there's a difference between the Int'l \ European One X 32GB and the Asian 16GB model, besides storage size obviously.
Though I'd ask rather than risk bricking the device. I'm wondering because when I google One X 16GB I get results for AT&T and dual core variants and my unit is a quad core tegra 3 \ GSM device.
Sorry for the noobish question.
I have the same phone, no problems. It is the same as the 32gb version, but with half the storage.
Flash to your heart's content.
Hey XDAsters,
I’m in London, UK, and looking forward to owning an SGN 10.1 2014 LTE in black, with as much internal memory as possible.
1. UK AVAILABILITY
The only UK based retailer I know of is MobiCity.co.uk, but they’re currently out of stock (32GB model) and "we do not have an ETA as of this moment, we are still waiting for an update from our supplier" [1]. Questioning Samsung UK also yields "that there is currently no official release date for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (LTE version) within the UK including the 32GB and 64GB version, meaning I am unable to provide any useful information" [3].
Q1. Does anybody have a clue as to when the SGN 10.1 2014 LTE (32GB or better model) will be properly available from a range of UK retailers?
2. MEMORY MAXIMISATION
Samsung announced "Memory: • 16 / 32 / 64GB Internal Memory" [4], but so far I’ve only been able to discover 32GB LTE models [5].
Q2. Will the SGN 10.1 2014 LTE ever be released with 64GB internal memory, or is the 32GB model the most capacious we can expect to see available?
Thanks in advance for your time and attention, my fellow gadgetfolk.

Hey XDAsters,
After further Q&As with Samsung staff in Singapore & the UK, I have answers to my questions, which I'm sharing below.
1. UK AVAILABILITY
Q1. Does anybody have a clue as to when the SGN 10.1 2014 LTE (32GB or better model) will be properly available from a range of UK retailers?
A1. "Regarding your query, please be advised that there is currently no official release date for this product within the UK." [1]
2. MEMORY MAXIMISATION
Q2. Will the SGN 10.1 2014 LTE ever be released with 64GB internal memory, or is the 32GB model the most capacious we can expect to see available?
A2. "To be honest the best you can expect is the 32GB version of this product at present, however in the future there may be a 64GB release, but again there is no official news on this front." [1]
Here’s hoping these answers may help other folks who are in the same pre-purchase hesitation situation as I was. This info has tipped my thinking towards buying my SGN 10.1 2014 LTE from overseas (specifically from atgsm in New York, USA, via ebay.co.uk ) and adding a PAYG micro-SIM from Three UK .
Peace-&-Love,
Dalinian

So its essentially like every other phone/tablet with the 64gb variant... You had me worried that Samsung were going to change their market structure and actually supply the 64 gb model....

:good: :highfive:
Some might accuse you of cynicism, but I couldn't possibly comment.
The C21 extension to 'Lies, damn lies, and statistics!' is most certainly 'Lies, damn lies, and [ advertising + marketing + product announcements ]!'
Still, it's always a small pleasure to come across somebody as helpful as Daniel, who will think for himself, and append to the Samsung party line some suitably qualified yet actually useful information.
BTW, thanks for indirectly introducing me to the magnificently beautiful Waratah genus, which I'd not come across before. Oz sure has evolved some glorious flora.

And from what I've heard, some of the nastiest fauna... Gotta love the Sydney Funnel web Spider... Keep smacking the little buggers but they seem to want to come in, and inside my boots must seem like home...
I've been looking on website for the past days trying to find a ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML) when I look at the specifications it says it has a Intel Atom Quad Core Z3560 (1.8 GHz) processor not been able to find the (2.3 GHz) processor anywhere is this a mistake the websites have made?
Does anyone know where to purchase the (2.3 GHz) variant in the UK or dealers who ship to the UK? Also is the 32G device sold with 2.3Ghz
If so is there a real difference between the 2.3Ghz and the 1.8Ghz ??
try darty.com i can see they sell in france, not sure if they are shipping to uk, or do they have stores in UK.
The 2.3 is only in the 64GB version.

Ah I see then I'm guessing most people got them missed up, I was watching many reviews and they said 32GB with the 2.3Ghz, Couple Amazon reviews said they got 32GB with 2.3Ghz

That depends on where it is from. For example, there are both 64 and 32 GB versions with the 2.3 GHz cpu here in Japan.
As for the OP's question regarding whether there is a real difference, I believe the gpu, cpu architecture and base clock of the 3560 and 3580 are identical. The difference is just in the Max boost frequency under load. I doubt there is much notable difference in everyday use - a bit faster for heavy tasks, at the expense of a bit heavier battery drain?

My phone is from ASUS.fr and is 32gb , 4gb ram and 2.3ghz and WW of course.
I am posting this in hopes that it will help others to pick the right model for them. If any of the info is incorrect, let me know. I put this together based on my extensive research prior to purchasing the version I have. Asus really screwed up on this phone with the various confusing versions and even the name of the phone being Zenphone 2.
For example, I have the TW based version and its 2.3ghz with 4 gigs of ram and 32 gig storage.
(ZE551ML) 2.3 ghz with either 32gig or 64 gig and 4 gb of Ram (Intel® Atom™ Quad Core Z3580, PowerVR G6430) - with a 1080 HD IPS Display (403ppi)
(ZE551ML) 1.8 ghz with 32gig and 2 or 4 gb ram (Intel® Atom™ Quad Core Z3560, PowerVR G6430) - 1080 HD IPS Display (403ppi)
(ZE550ML) 1.8 ghz with 16gig and 2 gb ram (Intel® Atom™ Quad Core Z3560, PowerVR G6430) - 1080 HD IPS Display (267ppi)
NOTE that the 2.3 ghz version is the only one compatible with Quick Charge capabilities. The 18W BoostMaster adapter is included with 2.3GHz/4GB ZenFone 2 model only.. Asus states that the phone will quick charge to 60% in no more than 39 minutes.
Here are the different versions available on the market (that I know of)
TW = Taiwan
WW = World Wide
CN/IN = China and India
US = USA
JP = I have not been able to find much info on this as the JP (Japan) version is just starting to show up
These are the LTE Bands from the ASUS website to help make sure you get the correct one for your area/carrier:
4G :
FDD-LTE: (TW)
2100MHz(1)/1900MHz(2)/1800MHz(3)/1700MHz AWS(4)/850MHz(5)/900MHz(8)/700MHz(28)
FDD-LTE: (WW)
2100MHz(1)/1900MHz(2)/1800MHz(3)/1700MHz AWS(4)/850MHz(5)/2600MHz(7)/900MHz(8)/800MHz(20)
FDD-LTE: (US)
2100MHz(1)/1900MHz(2)/1800MHz(3)/1700MHz AWS(4)/850MHz(5)/2600MHz(7)/900MHz(8)/700MHz(17)/800MHz(20)
FDD-LTE: (CN/IN)
2100MHz(1)/1800MHz(3)
TDD-LTE: (CN/IN)
2600MHz(38)/1900MHz(39)/1900MHz(40)/1900MHz(41)
Also I have confirmed that the phone can take a 128gb micro SD card even though it says 64gig MicroSD on the Asus web site. I took the 128gig MicroSD card out of my Note 4 and tried it in the Zenphone 2 and it worked perfect!

Don't think that's right, as according to the spec sheet on the Asus site even the ZE550ML (720p with 1.8 GHz processor) supports fast charging with boost master adapter (not included)

I know for a fact that the 1.8 ghz 4 gb of ram ZE551ML version does not support fast charging as I had that unit and had to sell it because of that reason alone. I am not sure about the ZE550ML, can someone that has that unit confirm so I can update my post?
Thanks
If you are in the UK, then you can purchase from the European Amazon sites.
Italian amazon appears to be the cheapest, they have the 32gb 2.3ghz 4gb ram version for EUR345, which comes out under £250 with shipping.
Also, this is sold directly by amazon, so if you have issues you are covered by amazon returns policy.
I bought the phone from there, and it turned up the next day.
Unfortunately it had a fault (see my thread for details) so had to get a replacement. But that was simple enough with the aid of google translate.
If i had imported from China i would not have been happy!
Hopefully my fault was a one off, and the replacement will be a good as i would expect from the specs.
I got mine from eBay but got the 1.8 4Gb ram 32gb version ordered mine on Tuesday 12th may and came 2day

So the HTC 10 does have a listing on amazon that comes with a US warranty and is listed as in stock. One of the sellers is NGP store USA. It says get it by May 2-5 with expedited shipping.
On their site they are selling the 10, the GSM bands and everything matches up with HTC.com, but they do offer gold with a white face as one of the color options which isn't an option on HTC site. I tried calling them today but I got a recording saying it was after business hours (even though they're in Seattle and it's 3:30 there). I'm going to ask if it comes with a US warranty and of course if they'll price match HTC.com
Anyway has anybody ordered a HTC 10 from them? Or purchased a past device from them?
For anyone interested,

I don't know anything about them but you do lose the $100 discount so the price is higher despite the other color options.

Where are you seeing this?
This is what I am seeing under the HTC 10:
CPU Chipset: Snapdragon 820
Storage: 32GB, Micro SD slot
RAM: 4GB
Network Band:
2G/2.5G – GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz,
3G UMTS, 850/AWS/900/1900/2100 MHz
4G LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 20, 28, 29, 30
Those are the same LTE bands the HTC 10 has on HTC.com
Either way I wouldn't order before I call and confirm it works with at&t.

I was looking at the information regarding the gold/white version:
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-5-2-Inch-Unlocked-International-Warranty/dp/B01EADQ6DC/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1461887566&sr=8-15&keywords=htc+10+phone+unlocked
they are selling for $685, why would anyone buy from them?
Just got an email back from them, it's an Asian model. They assured me it does work with at&t though. It doesn't come with a US warranty and they won't price match HTC with the 100 off discount because they are very aware of the backorder situation HTC is dealing with. They do have it in stock and ships from US though.
I'm passing on it purely because of the warranty situation. For the last year I've owned a phone off warranty that now has hardware failure so I won't be making that mistake again.

Bought an unlocked S7 Edge SM-G935FD from NGPstoreusa this week and they sent me a different model SM-G9350 (China; Sanpdragon 820 chipset) while I ordered a Exynnos 8990 chipset. Tried contacting them but their phone always goes to voicemail and their email response takes a day for them to review.
They have such an elaborate automated voice recording but in the end, it will always goes to voicemail. I think they are trying to send me the wrong model thinking I don't know the difference.
I can't trust this online store.

I'm getting the S20 Snapdragon version specifically in Cloud White and am given the option to choose between the Korean and US variant. I am aware that the Korean Cloud White model offers 12GB RAM, but is it the same with the US Cloud White?
Done some checking online and read that the Cloud White in the US is only exclusive to the UW version which offers only 8GB RAM. So I was wondering if US Cloud White model with 12GB RAM is genuine.
Thanks

The Cloud White SM-G981N from South Korea has 12GB RAM. The Taiwan S20 Plus and Ultra variants are also offered in Cloud White with 12GB and 16GB RAM respectively, all Snapdragon variants. Personally I wouldn't purchase a device that's shipped from a different country. I feel the Hong Kong devices are a better choice however they don't offer anything in Cloud White. Unless you're going to run lots of background apps it's doubtful you'll realize much difference between 8GB and 12GB RAM. If you want full Call Feature functionality your best option is aquire your Service Provider's device. Verizon has mmWave which is the fastest 5G available but only with their UW model and their coverage area is very limited.
