[Q] Is "standard" Note 8 digitizer compatible with the i467 (AT&T) Note 8?
Hi All,
I spent some time searching but didn't come up with anything definitive. I've heard from one source that a standard Galaxy Note 8 digitizer (e.g., GT-N5110) *is not* compatible with the AT&T branded Note 8 (SGH-I467). Price online for replacements are significantly higher for what are called I467 digitizers than a regular Note 8 digitizer, so wanted to get a second opinion before purchasing.
Thanks!
I know this is an old thread. Since it took me some efforts to figure this out, I am sharing with the public.
In terms of the digitizer, GT-5110 *IS* compatible with SGH-I467. This is because neither have an earpiece or proximity sensor. GT-5100 has these 2 hardware. Thus, if you put a GT-5100 digitizer on SGH-I467, you would have extra holes. Many sellers on eBay would tell you both GT-5110 and SGH-I467 share the same digitizer because both are Wi-Fi only version. This is WRONG. While GT-5110 is Wi-Fi only, SGH-I467 is LTE. However, the radio capability is IRRELEVANT. What makes them compatible is the lack of these extra holes. By grouping GT-5110 with SGH-I467 these sellers do sell you the right part even though they have the wrong knowledge. haha
Short and sweet, do I buy the US 7x for $200 or the Mate SE for $230 with 2x the RAM/ROM?
Seems pretty obvious (go with the SE), but I do care a lot about updates and rooting/roms so just curious what peoples thoughts are there.
Any input?

I always use gsm arena for phone specs. If you look there (for Honor 7x), and select version 'L24', it will show 'for USA, also known as the Mate SE' (they don't have a separate listing for the Mate SE).
Basically, they are identical phones, so as far as updates etc, they should be the same. Also read on one of the 'twrp for 7x' threads that someone followed the same procedure on their Mate SE and it worked fine. Being the anal type, and knowing they are basically identical, I still verified the Mate SE has the separate vendor partition, required for treble.
Works with T-mo? I'm sure the 2 are the same, but just read they only have 3 of the 5 lte bands t-mo uses. Except, 1 of those bands, B71, only 2 phones in the world have connectivity with! That's the new 600 MHz spectrum T-mo just bought, so that one almost shouldn't even be counted. My SE connects great with t-mo where I am, I'm sure the 7x would be identical.
Which one to go with? honestly, unless yer a heavy user of simultaneous apps, either one. Do you prefer grey or black?

I have been waiting to get my hands on the Mate 20X 5G model for a while. It is now becoming more widely available around the world (Kuwait, UAE, Finland, Switzerland and China and the UK by the end of July as the T-ban has been partially lifted, Lol). Here are all the key differences between the ORIGINAL version and the 5G variant and some are very disappointing. I think I will skip this version and wait for the Mate 30X or the Mate X.
In the meantime, if anyone has bought the new 5G model, you can update the thread with more information.
Model Number: EVR-N29 International Version/EVR-N00 Asia Version
THE GOOD NEWS:
Networks: 2G-4G on original vs 2G-5G SA/NSA on the 5G model
RAM: 8GB identical to the memory size of the China version with 8GB/256GB
ROM: 256GB identical to the memory size of the China version with 256GB/8GB
GooglePlayStore: Included on the original International model vs also included on the 5g model (except the Asia variant which does not include GooglePlayStore)
Charging: 40W Super Charge vs 22W Super Charge on the original.
Wireless Charging: Included (according to unboxing videos online, but not 100% confirmed) vs Not Included on any of the Original variants
Colour: Emerald Green vs 2 colours on the original (Good for some and possibly bad for some)
NOW THE BAD, THE REALLY BAD NEWS:
Battery: 4200mAh vs 5000mAh on the original
Headphone Jack: No Headphone Jack vs the Original with the Headphone Jack and 3.5mm headphones (5g model comes with Type C headphones)
Speakers: Single Stereo Speaker only (top speaker has been removed) vs Dual Stereo Speakers on the original variants
Damn so many downgrades.
Wont be surprised if the the reason is to put 5g antennas.
I wouldn't change the Mate 20 X for the 5g variant for only one reason : Stereo Speakers... Dangg, this phone is loud ! ?
Here is the official spec sheet:

Both the original and the 5g model has stereo sound but on the 5g model they have reduced the number of speakers from 2 to 1 (top speaker missing).

I know, that's why i said i wouldn't change the original Mate 20 X for the 5G variant...
Rumors about Mate 30 X?
An Global 8GB/256GB was kinda nice, but damn i didn't know about the single speaker and no headphone jack. No 5G model for me than. This is indeed more an downgrade.
Please suggestion: buy that no 5g or wait for 30 X?

I'd wait for 30 X (hopefully there will be one). 5G will take at least a year or two to become universal.
High price in Germany, it will be €1000. Also ''NOW THE BAD, THE REALLY BAD NEWS''
https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Panorama-Thema-233992/News/Huawei-Mate-20-X-5G-Release-1293604/
any news if it can be rooted - flashed ? tnx
is the 5G varient going to be any faster than the EVR-AL00 model with 8/256, when it comes to daily use, or is it going to be the same speed but. just be faster when it comes to surfing the web/ downloading content and streaming? Cause if my daily useage is getting improved then I may step up but, if im not seeing an improved when it comes to using the phone other than that then ill just stick to the OG version.

Totally agree. With these spec reductions and the crazy price tag, we are better off waiting for (hopefully) a Mate 30X with Android or ArkOS or whatever it may be called(BTW, I like the new camera setup on the Mate 30 Pro that has been shown on some renders this week)
If Mate 30X is not released in time, I will just wait for Microsoft to (hopefully) release the Surface phone in January with Android compatibility and the Hybrid Windows 10 OS for mobiles. That I think would be the ultimate phone setup. This I think would be the most credible chance for Microsoft to remain relevant in the mobile space again and offer a good alternative to IOS and Android systems.

Daily use (speed etc…) should be the same as the only addition is a 5G modem (simply for accessing 5g SA/NSA bands) and the removal of some really important features such as the 3.5mm jack, reduction in battery size and the removal of the top speaker. If you can live with these then I would say then you can step up but I would say if 5g is not really important then wait until Mate 30x or another alternative comes. Don't forget IFA 2019 is just around the corner and other brands that are aware of Huawei's success with the original Mate 20x may want to tap into its success model. I must say I had my hopes high for the Mate 20X 5g but now my only option is to either go for Mate X as my first 5G phone or wait for Mate 30x which should have integrated CPU with 5G in-built unlike the 2 chips that are separately positioned on the new Mate 20X 5G. Due to the space management, Huawei appears to have made some serious compromises.
Personally, with 5g rolling out, I would want my next phone to be 5g so that I don't have to think about changing my phone for the next 2-3 years at least. Then hopefully 5g and folding phones will be more common.

The biggest problem in the end could be if this variant will result to be impossible to root or flash with lineageOS IMHO...
Is the china al00 5g or not 5g
Also: will there be soon a separate thread in the forum or will it be in common with the non 5G Mate X 20?

The Only 5G Models are:
EVR-N29 International Version 5G Comes with GooglePlayStore/Google Services Preloaded
EVR-N00 Asia Version 5G No GooglePlayStore/Google Services
The above models are only offered in 8GB/256GB RAM/ROM combinations and only offered in Emerald Green Colour and has 5G printed on the back cover.
All other models/variants are NOT 5G. For example; EVR-L29 is the 6GB/128GB for international markets, EVR-AL00 is the China Version with no GooglePlayStore and is offered in 6GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB variants.
I have my heart set on a Note 10+/512GB/Dual Sim with Aura Glow color but it's not available in the US market.
I'm seeing a few international sites selling this exact configuration. Does anyone know if they're legit?
You won't find dual sim models built/sold specifically for the US market, so you might have to source them internationally. GL!

Yes. AFAIK eBay (via never-msrp and a couple other sellers) and Wonda Mobile have both the N975F/DS (Exynos) and the N9750/DS (HK/LA/Brazil Snapdragon) in the exact color and storage config you want. I'm also planning on getting this phone (the Snapdragon Dual Sim version) for use in the US.
the UK 4G version is dual sim direct from samsung, as soon as you go up to 5G it goes single sim. guessing they aren't yet capable of running dual 5G modems or the price is too high.
@sansnil, exactly the variant that you are looking for. It does exist - https://youtu.be/Brhjl8InyN8
Hello!
I'm waiting for the Pixel 6 Pro.
But I need dual SIM function - one Sim is a physical one (company SIM) the other could be an eSIM (private one). But a real dual SIM tray would be better...
Does anyone know, if this will be possible? I've read a lot about specs - but nothing about SIM...
Thanks a lot!
We won't know for sure until the phone lands but the Pixel 6 Pro Service and Repair manual has been leaked.
In that there are photos of all the spare parts which shows what looks to be a single SIM slot tray.
Pixel have been doing eSim for years so the assumption is that it will be dual SIM by having one eSim.
The only way to know for sure is to study the manual that leaked earlier
Have a go
https://docs.google.com/file/d/113RDKIakZKaLu04YUDicM718KXO2Vgpu/edit?filetype=mspresentation
The smartphone comes with 6.67 inches display size and it features IP68 dust/water resistance (up to 1.5m for 30 mins). The smartphone supports Nano-SIM and/or eSIM.
Hello!
Many thanks for your help
It looks like dual SIM is supported - one physical one is ok, I already have an eSIM profile. I think, my new phone will be a Google Pixel 6 Pro ;-)
