Just reserved blue, S10 8/512GB - I think it's the best value(+ the $150 free buds). S 10+ differs w/ bigger battery and enhanced selfie camera which, I don't use a lot. I think the S 10 will make me happy for a very long time ahead.
Some specs to compare among all 3 models:
Pre-odered the S10+ ceramic Black 8/512gb T-Mobile Snapdragon! $700+tax ? with N9 trade-in.
UPDATE: Just canceled my order for numerous reasons. I need to rethink if I should just wait for the S10-5G badboy arrival!? ?
UPDATE2: I re-pre-ordered the Blue S10+ 128gb Unlocked Snapdragon! ?
Here's best FCC LTE bands list I could find.

You mean 8/512, yeah I was thinking about that one too, somehow the $100 less makes me feel less guilty Then again, just a couple weeks ago I was buying a 9 Note for a similar price. Returned happily that N9, it was just another amazon refurb and now I just made a one year smartphone technology leap ahead.
Flamingo Pink S10+. 8gb/128gb is fine with me... that color is legit
Are the LTE bands the same for the USA Snapdragon Unlocked and Branded TMobile S10's?
Also are the software Updates faster on the Branded TMobile vs the Unlocked?

Yes unlocked and yes I believe it gives the option to manage the order. And it is preordered with a confirmation email. Not reserved.
Exynos S10e 8GB/256GB looks like the replacement for my S7. Glad about the flat screen, and similar size to the S7. But will hold out until prices drop a bit and root/custom recovery/ROMs are achieved. Wish they would have put the same camera, FP scanner, larger storage levels, etc. of the other models in the S10e, but those are not deal-killers.
S 10+ 8/512 ceramic black unlocked.
very hard decision,
I am going to wait untll bootloader unlocked, root available, and custom rom available.
until than it's useless brick.
Looking to acquire the S10+, 128 GB, 8 GB RAM, Prism White, Unlocked, Hong Kong Variant, Snapdragon 855. Will hold off for user feedback and price drop.
Pre-ordered the S10+ 128/8GB model. I noticed there was absolutely no performance difference between the 128/6GB and 512/8GB model of the Note9. In fact, ive read that the 512/8GB would consume more battery, but most likely not significantly.
S10 or the S10+ still haven't decided a bit confused in between those two.
Honestly wish there was a ceramic option on the smaller S10

I pre-ordered S10e 6/128 GB in blue color. Guys, Samsung said that reserving a device early will give customers $50 instant credit for accessories, but I never received any after ordering the device. Any one?

It will be locked which is why ive been recommending people buy the exynos version.
We went through this on the s7 (CAN version was exynos) note 7, s8...all NA versions which are snapdragons are BL locked.

yea if you want a note 8 get an exynos version not a snapdragon which is what tmo and all the other carriers will be selling. like the s8... in us its the sm-g955u sometimes there will be additional letters like a T (t-mobile). The U stands for carrier unlocked or unlockable dont confuse that with bootloader unlockable. There are also sm-g955f which is what the rest of the world has. The F stands for international. They are where the partys gonna be. Their "unlocked" any sim will work, but the bootloader will be unlockable so we will have custom rom developement

I already purchased a pre-order on Ebay - you pay a little more when you buy pre orders (maybe a lot more - depends on how you look at it) but I am not good about waiting. My PHone is supposed to ship around the 20th - 23rd of september - possibly sooner but don't knwo for sure.
Varient for International Versions is N950F (someone mentioned G955F but that is the Galaxy S8 Plus.

Where are you seeing the N950F? I'm not finding any on eBay, Amazon, or any other site for sale in USD. Also, is this European variant the only model that will have an unlockable bootloader?
Will the N950F have all bands/frequencies for US carriers? From what I found at https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-sm-n950-model-number-differences, it looks like it has almost all compared to the N950A, but there are a few that are missing. Thanks

Man, that's a lot to drop up front. Though I presume if you sell in a year, you would typically get 30-50% back if it's the INTL version....
Still debating on how to go about this one.
I try to sell the phone I own for as much as I can. I believe I can probably get around $650 to $700 for the S8 Plus G955F I own now - it is in like new condition - not a scratch - I also will include several screen protectors and cases. that I was given that I will also include to add value and to help sell it quickly)

Hey all, never-msrp had the black note 8 950fd for 849.99 64gb on ebay for like 1 hour before he sold out.
I'm itching for a unlocked bootloader and pixel 2 xl 128gb after taxes is over 1k! no sense in justifying that.
So i'm returning my t-mo note 8 when i buy the unlocked exynos ones, but i don't know who are trusted sources on ebay or elsewhere for this. Since never msrp is sold out and he has no idea when he's getting more can y'all source me to where to go?

Amazon has it for 909$

So my ultimate question would be, any benefit from purchasing it from bh photo video vs amazon?
All other ebay sellers don't come close to amazon or never-msrp pricing as of right now..
wait it's 947 on clove , (exclusion of VAT) , so here's the thing this popped up when i began filling out order
"Samsung’s region lock stops use of this handset within your chosen country unless activated with a European SIM. I agree for Clove Technology to break the seal on the box, activate the phone and remove the region lock by completing a 5 minute call on the handset."
found that interesting-
Does clove offer warranty of some sort?

Yeah the UK phones have regional lock. They'll activate it by the method listed. If you decline, you won't be able to make calls outside the countries listed for the phone.
I got mine from Clove and couldn't be happier. They break the seal & unlock it but I couldn't tell except for seeing the broken seal. They reset it so setup is exactly like with a new phone, I couldn't even fine a single fingerprint or smudge on it. I upgraded to DHL shipping, was shipped on a Friday, I received it on Monday.
With all the crap going on with OEM unlock missing/disappear, lowest price was not a concern for me. And really I didn't pay very much more than if I were to get a SD version from my carrier or Samsung.

He has a N950N on Tmobile. He's still working on the mod for the N firmware. The second link is his TMO mod for F variants. You can however flash the F firmware on your N & install the mod if you don't want to wait. He's been working hard at it & I'm sure he'll figure it out soon. I flashed his mod on my N950F & it's working great.

Did you know someone getting it and have OEM Unlock present?
Interesting how fast the price is dropping in EU.
Can already find the S9+ for ~€800. It launched at €950.
I say give it another 3-4 weeks and it'll be under €700.
Also, can be had for $820 on US Ebay - S9+ dual sim exynos.
Price is falling WAY quicker than the S8 and S8+, both due to slower sales and incoming competition that should be fierce.

Missing options for everyone not in the USA
Here in Canada, we have only Black and Blue options, and only Black can come in 512gb/8gb.
are these the only two colors available? I would be very disappointed if they do not offer midnight black
I completed my pre-order yesterday for an unlocked, blue, 512GB model. I hope the unlocked units are not delayed behind the carrier versions like they were with the Note 8.
Pre-ordered through Samsung USA the Samsung Note 9 128GB Blue Unlocked w/ Samsung Galaxy Watch. Thought I'd go all out lol
Pre-ordered Lavender 128GB Model from T-Mobile. Can't wait!
Ordered blue 512gb SM-N960F this year. I have the Korean SM-N950N now. It was so nice to have the exynos model last year over the snap no waiting for root, and seems like twrp recovery already available for the International version. If I'm paying over 1,000 dollars for a phone would be nice to do what you want with it. Will be using att in the states, although wish snapdragon carrier models still had the unlocked bootloader!

Thanks! I am in India, and it seems the Note 9 will ship with a free case, at least in this region.
Which means I don't need to buy one until more options are available from popular case brands.
There is no case in retail box.
Market dependant? The note 7 and 8 both came with clear cases (hard plastic) in the UK.
There were some promo bags given out to people buying them early as a way of thanking them for getting the word out on various media.

By international you mean any specific model number or simply "non US"?
I live in EU and we normally get Exynos variants. So does that mean it will come with a Clear View case?

By international you mean any specific model number or simply "non US"?

Exynos variant is the "international" one. The USA/LATAM/China/Japan/HK etc. models get the SD variant if I'm not wrong.
Staying in the EU, you might get the case(hey, it's not the clearview case for sure ) . But I feel it's market dependant than being model-dependant even though only the Exynos ones are seen being shipped with the case.

Market dependant? The note 7 and 8 both came with clear cases (hard plastic) in the UK.

I bought the note 8 and ordered the note 9 direct because I wanted dual SIM variants.

Well.. I will know for sure on 24th.
Will post here once I unboxed mine.
Just unboxed European 960F (Exynos) Ocean Blue 128GB model and it didn't have cover included. Bought the Clear Cover separately.
I'm not a big lover of clear covers but some protection is needed until I will choose something permanent.

Umm, so, clearly it's market/region specific.
