I checked the one I know of but only selling the Snapdragon variant.
He has N10+'s and maybe other models that are Exynos, not cheap but new, factory seal box.
If you can't talk to potential vendors on the phone or don't like what they say, avoid using them. Reputable ones have a phone and are accessible.
I was thinking about a used N20U but blew it off in part because of unreliable vendors. A new N10+ at $800 was a better deal for me. That fact that it's running on Android 10 sweeten the deal.

I think they are correct. Remeber that Samsung cant put out a phone with too good specs cause the next one wont sell.

That's way too much, unless that's in Canadian.
Anticipating $899 S9, $999 S9+ USD. Hopefully that $350 S8 trade-in launch deal is real.

I doubt it will be that much, my guess is $799US S9 and $899US S9+ mainly to separate its price brackets to the king crop Note 8. Id say a mild $40-50 increase in price from the S8 series would be probably more in line.

Yeah I'd have to agree. Its going to be a minor bump in price if anything.
Least the S9 I'd say mild bump if any on the phone... S9+, it does have more ram and the dual camera so I'd expect it to be somewhere between what the S8+ and Note8 was at launch time.
Rumors in some european forums are getting hot and angry since this morning:

Yes, that sux, but we all have to get used to the fact that every newer Galaxy S will have a minor better battery +200 mAh or no change and in RAM no change or +2 GB after 2 or 3 generations.
BTW Where's that trade-in for S9? I know that for current 8 there's one.

I agree, the price goes up while Samsung drop a flagship feature then overwhelmed the device with an non-practical feature. :crying:
That's the trend I am seeing.
Hopefully the MWC 2018 brings some devices with similar features and these are available immediately afterwards. Maybe than the price will drop rapidly.

That would be good.
I especially followed prices after the premier of S7 and a rapid price drop I noticed after 4 months from the start of the retail sale (EU).
A big price drop for S8 (again EU), I noticed for Christmas 2017.
BTW any idea what bonus will be added to the preorders? VR or the new DEX maybe?
No info here. The reveal show is sunday und preorder starts monday if I'm right. Personally I hope for a trade-in of devices which are 2 years or younger.

I've recently confirmed with Samsung that indeed there is no info on preorders until the Premiere is done.
I was hoping for some leaks...
The trade-in sounds better than the new Dex and much much better than VR.
But I think that 3 years or younger would be a smash hit, especially because of the prices that recently leaked...
So its a trade-in actually. My S7 is traded for fix 100 € + up to 190 € if its in a very good condition. So I could get a S9+ for roundabout 600€ with trade-in and a company voucher. I'll wait some couple of days to decide.
Quite a difference here among carriers:

Is that phone still worth buying? Q3 2018

Hello there. Is it worth to buy this phone now? How long may it be supported by community devs? Are there any alternatives for ~250$ (in regards of battery and hardware)? I am looking for a smartphone with battery larger than 3000mAh or with AMOLED screen (or both of these options). It would be nice bonus if it was smaller than 15cm in height.

This phone is a beast still today because of active development by the developers. If you want a pbone with both amoled and battery above 3000 mah in 250$ range than the only option is Samsung J8. So my suggestion to you is go for the xiaomi redmi note 5 Pro or wait for the MiA2.
Actually, in my country Lenovo P2 is avaible for ~200$. Is it a good deal?

i won't say it is a good deal in this price ..but will be a great deal if you get it under $150 . you can get a better device in 250 nowadays with a little less of a battery strength but it will be fine for a days use .
best phone for its specs in its price range imo,also a lot of software developments going on for it also makes it a fine choice...yes its still worths it.
I would definitely buy it again. My only concern would be the state of the battery since these phones have being on shelves for quite a while now. I don't know if that would affect battery life and I would like to know it, though (If anyone does).
Great deal !

I wish I could help you but probably none of local internet shops makes it abroad.
First, we have a site ceneo.pl which seeks for best offers for given product. You can use that to look at polish shops. Important note: Allegro is an auction site and some offers there may be a scam.
But you may try to contact other site's service and ask if transaction from France is possible. Google translate should be enough to find contact info on these.

It's hard to say. This is 4GB version, but no info about 800Mhz LTE band. Did you got mail from seller?

need help choosing please

I currently have the mate 20 pro and it has the green screen issue. So... Sadly I'm sending it back, I was going to swap it for another though amazon advised me not to. They also refunded the accessories I purchased which supprised me. I now don't know whether to try to import a mate 20 X or settle for the 6t. I would be grateful if anyone with the 20x could help me decide and answer a few questions?
I haven't seen any threads about it. But has anyone had any issues with the screen?
I've read some people have had problems with the Chinese version, when looking at adverts how do I make sure the phone I'm buying is the international version? Most don't say they just give the model number.
Is there an 8gb/256 version of the international model? Does enyone have an ebay link for where I could get it sent to the UK?
Does anyone have any reasons why I shouldn't consider getting this phone?
Thanks for your help.
I don't have the phone (at least yet) but i'm following closely all threads because i'm very interested too and i never see anyone complaining about the gluegate, even a reviewer frankytech thinks its only targeting pro series because of the curved screen.
If you want to buy international version you need to check if the model is named EVR-L29, china model is AL00. There's no international model atm in 256/8GB variant. About sellers to the international, there's splendor, wonda, funkyhuawei, expansys and ebay. Probably more but i forgot.

Is it easy to add the play store? Are there any issues with Google services? e.g. Google pay? As I use that a lot.
I bought an xaomi tablet and that took a lot of effort to get Google app store and services working properly.
Also I was wondering does face unlock work OK on this phone? I know it doesn't have the 3d scanner.

I came from a OnePlus 6. Definitely get the 20 X if you like large screen phones. The X uses a Samsung AMOLED panel and is free of defects. I would buy the Global version if root isn't important to you. If it is then buy the Chinese version. I bought the Global version and have no issues with it. The 6gb/128 Global version is plenty fast. You won't see any difference between the 6gb and 8gb versions as far as speed or apps in memory goes, it's all pretty much a gimmick unless you're buying the 256gb/8gb version just for the storage size.

The storage was the main reason I ended up going for the Chinese version.
I'm worried about Google pay not working on Chinese phones but I'm hoping the rest will end up working OK.
Hopefully someone will work out how to rebrand it so I can have the best of both worlds.

So it's pretty much the same experience as a American phone?

7T vs Realme x2 Pro

Just noticed that this device will be available in Europe and the UK in November and am struggling to think of any reason to go for the 7T over this,other than OxygenOS,
This thing seems to have everything,including 64mp camera,20x zoom,50 watt charging,90hz display,dual speakers,the list goes on ,and it's much cheaper than the 7T,
Also Realme is under Oppo just like OnePlus
https://www.realme.com/eu/realme-x2-pro
Bumping, in case anyone has an opinion on this or has handled both these phones.
No one knows, until it's available. There's a dude on the X2Pro forum who's got it and sharing feedback on the phone. I too was debating whether to wait, but because of the recent 11.11 sales snagged a 7T for cheap. Loving it so far.
If you can wait, why not?

What are you talking about ?
Both these phones are available
The different reviews I saw seem to say that the OP7T camera is a bit better.... But man, this 50W charging... And apparently lots of Realme phones get OOS custom ROMs... Imagine an X2 pro with OOS... I'm still waiting to receive my OP7T from China so the price is similar with an X2 Pro but if I had bought an OP7T at the official European price, I would send it back right away to get an X2 pro.
Just my 2 cents

I would agree, €600 in Europe and you only get the 8/128 model.Get it in China you can get it much cheaper or even the 8/256 model for around €500.
For me personally I just don't like the idea of them opening the device and flashing OOS on the China version. I like my phone to be new,untouched, factory sealed,(though with Oneplus pricing I am thinking I might have to get over that)
The Realme though is excellent value for €500 for 12/256 though your taking a hit in the camera processing and the software experience overall

Them? Who? You can buy X2Pro with Oxygen OS?
As far as I've read, like others have said, Color OS and the camera are the downsides of X2Pro. But once the Dev community gets going, we can always flash a custom rom so one issue is sorted. I'm not so sure about the camera.
And 7T may get a price cut once X2 Pro is available everywhere, who knows.

True ,but this is where my OCD and paranoia kicks in,who's to know how long that phone was used,did it drop,was it scratched,what kind of defects did it pick up.
But besides that,the prices are great so small price perhaps if the phone arrives safe

yeah it's a bit different for me since I bought it from a local seller who imported the phone sealed from China, then before he unbox and install ROM I received real time image of it still sealed with imei. So pretty much the phone was new out of box and it was like a friend helped me install the ROM, no worries.
So maybe try to do that to help with the OCD
I believe some Chinese online resellers accept not to open the sealed box if you ask for it.
Someone convince me to go for the 7T.
Where I stay, the X2 Pro is about $75 cheaper. But it was weird niggles like fingerprint not working after you unlock the bootloader and obviously the dev community is lacking.
My main concern about 7T is the battery life, especially with 90Hz. Someone tell me this isn't an issue. I certainly value dev/AOSP roms, though currently there's not much going on here except a couple of kernels (good ones though). I suppose this device needs more time for the ROMs scene to gather pace, hopefully..

Where I stay, the X2 Pro is about $75 cheaper. But it was weird niggles like fingerprint not working after you unlock the bootloader and obviously the dev community is lacking.
My main concern about 7T is the battery life, especially with 90Hz. Someone tell me this isn't an issue. I certainly value dev/AOSP roms, though currently there's not much going on here except a couple of kernels (good ones though). I suppose this device needs more time for the ROMs scene to gather pace, hopefully..

The main reason there is not that much custom ROMs for now is that there is not working TWRP yet. There is still one on XDA, Omnirom, which seems to be pretty functional. Honestly battery life is perfect on this phone, and warp charge 30T makes you stop thinking about it IMHO.
I read somewhere that unlocking the bootloader on X2 Pro disables the under display FP scanner. I think that's a big deal if you're into flashing and stuff.
Such a turnoff for an otherwise amazing phone.
I suspect once more phones start shipping with Android 10 (maybe from Jan), TWRP will be fixed.
Pretty sure I'm going to pull the trigger in a few hours.
Someone tell me green/etc tint on the display isn't an issue [emoji14][emoji849]
Edit: And buy, i did.

Worth buying?

So I'm looking to buy the Snapdragon model of the S20 about £530 / $660 https://www.tecobuy.co.uk/en_UK/samsung-galaxy-s20-g9810-12gb-128gb-dual-sim-5g-cosmic-grey-4.html (not sure how reliable it they are)
Is it still worth buying? Are there issues i.e. battery life, camera quality.
Best phone I ever had.
Photo, phone quality, features.
Battery life is good, I have the Snapdragon.
You won't regret at this price.
Absolutely worth it at that price. I have the CDN version (G981W, snapdragon) and got it for $1650 CAD and love it, just wish I didn't have to pay so much for it.

Have you done any flashing or ROMs/ had any problems with that variant?

It's bootloader locked ATM , so no cfw ... unfortunate but it is still a wicked phone
Even using Dex @ work I barely reach 10g ram usage. Dex alone was a selling feature for me. And it's actually usable now, compared to when it launched back on the s8
I recently switched from my iPhone XS Max and completely happy with this phone. No buyers remorse in any way.
The Snapdragon model doesn't have any custom rom support does it?
Anyone using tempered glass on theirs?

Don't bother with tempered glass screen protectors unless you want to go with a Whitestone dome, the cheap ones are trash.
As for roms, there are none other than a GSI . And you need to have a non-NA snapdragon model that is bootloader unlockable.
Personally I don't miss root ..a few things, sure, but not enough to make me regret picking up this device

Hi, I use this site for buying https://eu.etoren.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s20-5g-dual-sim-g9810-128gb-grey-12gb-ram. I am from EU and they offer no taxes and customs since they have EU warehouse. It took 7 working days to arrived.

That's still pricey for me. Came across another website but again not sure how reliable they are https://bludiode.com/en/phones-and-...dual-sim-12gb-ram-128gb-5g-cosmic-grey-11947/

Went for but it was £550, guess should of went for it when it was £530. Paid with PayPal so if anything, I'll get my money back.

When did you order?
Let us know how it goes. I was tempted myself but the reviews scared me a little

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------
Ive decided im gonna go to the Samsung shop this week and buy the S20+
I know they are like £899, but I can have some peace of mind it's genuine, it will arrive and I can get it quickly.
Just not looking forward to transferring everything over
