Dog just ate my note 9, totally destroyed. I was going to wait for the 20, but that ship has now sailed and I need a phone asap. What's the best deal in North America on the 10+ currently?
Thanks!
Not something to write home about, but depending if 5g speeds are critical or not for you (I am more than fine with 100M speed and I run a business, where my phone is my office) I'd suggest you get yourself a refurbished note 10+ . If you are not big on rooting , I suggest the SD (US) version. That way you take some major bucks out.. it will serve you well until the Note 20 will be out, and then you will be offered 350-450 for trading the refurb phone you bought for $650 (Amazon).
Look at it like it is a 'rental'..
Facebook, swappa, Craigslist etc

Expensive taste your dog has!!!
As suggested already, buy a refurb to carry you over for a few months and then trade it in against a brand new Note 20 Plus

I was just at a Tmobile store and they offered me $275 to trade in my Note II. Is this new $275 is pretty close to what l would sell it for on CL. Just thought I'd Pass this into along to anyone who might be interested.
I just picked up a really clean rooted one off swappa for 325. That doesn't sound THAT far off, unfortunately...
TMobile is taking trade ins straight up now? Even with out jump program?

Yep, I specifically asked if there were any restrictions or stipulations. There were none, I didn't even need to buy a phone.
sold one on ebay a week ago for little over $400, after fees+ ship I net around $350
$275 isn't bad if you don't want to go through the trouble
Listed mine on craiglist 2 days ago for $425. No one interested, then i lowered down to 400$ , still got no calls or texts. Today, I lowered down to $375, finally got someone offered $325. I sold it to him. If this WAs an iphone 5, its probably been sold the 1st day.

I'm currently on AT&T's network and was thinking of the Note 4's resale value. Suppose after a year or so I decide to put my phone up for sale, what would the value be compared to the other Note 4 variants on the market?
not much
it will be higher only cause it can be used internationally other than that is is about the same as the others. verizon does the same. so if you would like to get rid of it for the most money it would be now when it is still new later down the road you will get alot less for your device.just look at the note 3 on swappa or ebay and you will see the difference.

Yep, just look at the note 3 value now. You should expect your note 4 to be the same when the note 5 comes out.
My friend just sold his N4 for ~$700 on amazon, he used it for about 2-3 weeks. If you wait a year, you'll be lucky to get $3-350 for it (Which is what used note 3's go for now) because it will no longer be the new hotness.
My gf and I went to T-Mobile the other day to look into switching from AT&T. I was absolutely shocked and stupified when the sales person told me she would get $330 trade in value for her iPhone 5s 16gb and I would only get $300 trade in credit for my brand new Note 4. I was floored ?? like WTF!!
i sold my note 3 a week after i got the note 4 for $350. It was still locked to AT&T. I expect the same for the Note 4 when the 5 comes out...
I sold my Note 2 for $225
I sold my unlocked AT&T Note 3 prematurely on 9/4 on Ebay for $400.

How much of that did you get after fees?
Check on swappa.com you got all values of all phones.
You guys must be great marketing geniuses. I didn't get many responses a month back from swappa attempting to sell my wife's near mint Note 3 ATT version or my own T Mobile Note 3.
In the end sold them for 300 and 320 on Craig's list.
Both were unrooted and service provider unlocked and had been cased and screen protected from new.

Ebay takes 10% at the end of month and PayPal 2.9% at transaction. Cleared $348.xx.
On two occasions I had older phones sold on Craigslist, but when suggesting we meet in a Police station parking lot to complete transaction they didn't call back.
Hmmmmm?
I have a carry permit, but offer police station for buyers comfort.
Good day guys
Desperately want a FOLD but looking for best place to purchase. Anyone got any advice to get it at the best price. I am in the United Kingdom. Seems EE only network carrying it and contract is very expensive would rather purchase...I currently have a NOTE 9.
Any advice welcome
Samsung website. Trade in note 9 for £375!!! Or buy on eBay with 0% finance. Btw EE selling it unbranded and unlocked so buying from someone who selling upgrade isn't an issue with sim lock.

Just try to finance it somewhere for 24 months, zero interest. You can buy them second hand on Swappa or Ebay, but that may affect warranty. I would just do payments (which is what I did)
Thread for UK Owners.
Looking for the best deal currently myself.
I can see Vodafone have a sliding scale scheme; the more you pay up front the less you pay per month.
£469 up front for the phone then £65 a month for 25gb
I decided to buy from the Samsung Web site. Got £100 voucher from Sammy and trade in Tab S6 and further saving by using Samsung Pay. Also free starter kit worth £79. Good deal all round.
I see mention of a 16gb, is this being sold in the UK?

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G - Full phone specifications
www.gsmarena.com
12gb only
I haven't preordered a Samsung device since the s6. I just moved to the UK from America so I am intrigued. However since all Samsung folds are Snapdragon it may not be root friendly.
I also got a decent trade in (450) for the iPhone 11 I previously used in the US. So definitely 27/8 cannot come fast enough

The international version should still be root friendly (well as friendly as Samsung phones are) Samsung can't change the rules just because different cpu
I always buy my device using the Samsung upgrade program, and get a sim separately
Currently using a Vodafone esim with unlimited data for £29/month. I usually use a minimum of 600Gb/month, and as much as 2Tb.
Ordered the 512gb Fold3 and watch4 classic, looking forward to it!
Pre-ordered on 3 unlimited everything - first 6 months are 55 then up to 110 - will be shedding the wife's N10 towards future contract costs to reduce further.
Hoping to get a rom together reasonably quickly (depending on how many spanners Sammy have thrown in the works and differences from N20U)

I have been developing on the Tab S6 for over a year now and that's snapdragon
The main difference to Exynos i have noticed is lack of modifiable upparam on SD devices (to get rid of annoying red text when rooted)
Just noticed the free Starter Kit is availability until 31 December! This means you do get a S Pen included, in reality.
I did the rounds with a spreadsheet and figured out buying the phone from samsung.com with a vodafone contract was best. They had a deal for £59/mo plus £380 up front, unlimited calls, texts and 100GB 5G data. Total £1796. Nearly £200 cheaper than buying the phone outright and sticking on my £16.21/mo three contract. Going directly through carriers and looking at 100GB+ data was no competition either, vodafone and o2 about £2.2k, Three £2.3k, EE £2.5k etc.
I don't know if that works with tradeins, vouchers etc. so it might be possible to go cheaper.
I got mine from very, got 10% off when making first credit account purchase when using: welcome as discount code I believe…
Ended up paying 1490 down from the 1599.
Had a email from DPD that my Samsung parcel will be delivered tomorrow (20th). Sadly I’m away until next week so has to rearrange the delivery!

They didn't hold onto them last year. I got mine early but not a whole week. I can see tracking in my Samsung order which forwards me to DPD but not had an email from DPD yet
Yeah I can see a number starting 70 that goes to dpd but think it’s too short to be tracking

Same here and looks like the Fold3! Sadly I'm away until Monday!
Does the UK Version have dual and eSIM or is it single sim and eSIM disabled like the US version ?
Considering most models can't be rooted I'm not a 100% sold on another fold BUT there might not be any good alternatives though.
I might go back to OnePlus if I can get it unlocked at the beginning for custom roms, but I'd rather enjoy a device more than work on it. I have some hopes for the nothing brand but I'm not sure they're ever coming to North America.
I'd appreciate some good discussion about it and others thoughts.
Yes, I'll be looking closely at the Fold4 and if there's a reasonable tradein I'll very likely go for it.
The only alternative is the Vivo that has a great spec but not yet available outside China and will it have good support?
No. There isn't enough of an upgrade for me to bite the bullet. I'll wait to see what the Fold 5 has to offer or if there are other mfg. that come up with something better.
nahh im happy with my fold 3, does what I need and more. Fold 4 has little upgrades to make it worth it
Sammy is just not being competative. If I were to upgrade, I would be more likely to spend the $ on the Vivo X Fold. Unless Sammy has some huge surprises in 10 days - which I doubt.
Going to wait until the 5 cones out.
It would be a help if we knew when the Vivo Fold was going to be available.
If the trade in is good
Just ordered the X Fold, through Giztop.
.......so the device works in the U.S.A.?
I'm in the UK. Taking a risk but I know of another one that is working.
yeah, upgrading from Fold3 to the Fold4 1TB version
I'll be ordering the Fold4 the minute orders are open. Jury is out on Watch 5 classic 44mm though.
Just got my fold 3 on a RIDICULOUS sale, doesn't appear the generational gap between 3 and 4 is all that large. I'll be rocking the three until they announce/release the 5

How good of a sale was it if you don't mind me asking?
I got mine for what I feel like was a great price early this year. Mint condition on Swappa (and the phone really was in mint condition) for 800+plus taxes and fees

That was a steal! I'm happy for you!
Ill upgrade if the cameras are vastly improved and include periscope zoom of some sort, that's my biggest gripe with my fold 3, sub par cameras. 1tb would be a nice since im running out of storage on my 512gb fold 3 so if they offer that i may do the upgrade for that even if the cameras arent what im looking for.
Yes, I had the first 3 and haven't had any issues. Hoping for a surprise pre-order only color, but the beige looks kind of cool.
Does anyone else think it is uneconomical to upgrade after a year, without fully paying off the Fold3?
