Hey now,
As a citizen of a country called Belgium, i have found it very difficult to purchase the Nexus devices. I wonder what your experience has been on the previous nexus devices, and where you traveled to to get one. I myself went to Denmark to search over 4 different provider stores to finally get one without a contract.

I live in Hungary, so no Play Store devices for me as well. Here, I could get it from bigger stores like Media Markt or buy it from the provider for a really high price. Either way, it's more expensive than buying directly from Google.

Media Mart in Germany was selling for only an additional 50 euro, so perhaps worth the trip?

Might worth a trip. My only concern would be the warranty. I always take care of my phones, but if something happens, I guess I would have to send it back to Germany for instance.

Where I come from, while Nexus devices are available, but the release date varies a lot.
Nexus S was released about 7 months after US.
No clue about Galaxy Nexus, didn't follow the news.
Nexus 7 was released like 8 months after US.
Nexus 4 was released like 3 months after US.
And the price is just insane. I mean, when Nexus 4 came out, it was priced about $550 for the 16GB unlocked (off-contract) version if I convert it to USD.
Nonetheless, I'm hoping the Nexus 5, which is to be released by LG. follow suit with the Nexus 4. I think 2-3 months is an "okay" time range. 7-8 months? Hell no.
I live in Belgium too and for my mobile I go in Germany (Aachen-Aix la Chapelle) which is 30 minutes from my place. It's cheaper then Belgium and the mobile are unlocked. For example for my GS3 it was 100euros cheaper in Germany.
For my future Nexus 5 I will go there.
I had to order the Nexus 4 via eBay from the UK. I even had to use forward2me service because the seller couldn't deliver to my address. Heck, I paid about $620 in total, but it was well worth it! I got it like 2 weeks after the release. I live in Latvia by the way.
I just hope Nexus 5 won't have stock problems like it was with Nexus 4.

I'm from belgium too.
I'm wondering about the warenty.
Do we have to go back to germany for this warenty?
I really want to buy the nexus 5
I hope it's available from Amazon.com or similar. Then I'm gonna import it from the US and although there's gonna be taxes and stuff, the price is gonna be like $650. Still cheaper than bying say a SGS4 here, it costs more than $900.
I'll wait until it's available on ibood.com. Nexus 4 were sold there on several occasions.
I may also ask friend from UK to get me one when it's available at UK play store.

You think that's insane? Media Market, in Portugal, is selling it (right now) for ~683$
Thats f insane.
I found no problem of buying it in England for 160 pounds new boxed but receipe on a third person so warranty not void. Flashed a custom kernel after 2 weeks anyway, as overheating issues was killing me and the battery as well. In poland U can get it with 24months of warranty for 250 pounds no problem on auctions.
You can buy the Nexus 5 for 399 euros on coolblue (dot) be , you can also buy the Nexus 4 there and the Nexus 7.
Hope I helped you in time.

Thank you for the information, however I still find it outrageous to sell a 16GB version for 399 EUR about 539 USD, when the google play store price is 345 USD.
I am also living currently in Belgium and find the best prices to be on amazon.de or amazon.fr, depending on the products. The warranty is generally as good as when buying through a physical store and the price difference compared to other stores like Media Markt / Fnac or / Vandenborre is usually at least 100 EUR cheaper.
Lets hope that Google stops with this nonsense and starts selling in other EU countries too and while their at it they can also include a micro sd card slot in their future Nexus devices

If you are in Belgium you can order S4 from the well known Netherlands https://www.4launch.nl/shop/#p-4-productid-137091
It doesn't cost $900

First of all, $345 is not a real price, as you forget to add sales tax.
Second thing, you can blame silly european governments that imposed 21% VAT.

@andQlimax Thanks for backing up my information. Unfortunately I was not able to get the information directly from Google play store, as I am in Belgium.
@jodvova don't forget that 345 EUR is way more than 345 USD even if you need to add the 21% VAT tax .
We’re still a week away from the Samsung Galaxy S5′s Australian launch, and the price-cutting battle between telcos, online stores and retailers is already happening. If you’re willing to wait a week or two for your new phone to be shipped over from Hong Kong, you can find a great discounted deal.
Millennius.com has the black 16GB SM-G900 Galaxy S5 for $779, as well as white — that’s the cheapest price we’ve seen online so far for an outright handset. Kogan has the same model for $849 in all four colour variants, as well as a $999 32GB capacity, but all stock has apparently already been snapped up. MobiCity wants $899 for the 16GB, but unlike Kogan is still taking orders. These phones will almost certainly be international units coming from Hong Kong, where prices are lowest for grey importers to source their inventory.
eBay prices are depressingly high; the cheapest you’ll find a 16GB model is $958 with free postage, and $1079 for 32GB. If you want to buy a discounted new Galaxy S5, you might like to have a look at Melbourne-based Millennius.
mobicity went from 899 to 849 then sold out. now its back at 899 lol.
never buying from mobicity again after my experience with my xperia z
EDIT: oh, this isnt a retailer, but there are S5s going for 699USD on ebay and it has free shipping to Australia. can't link here since im at school
Thanks for that, I will be buying one on the weekend from them after I get paid from work.

yeah, here in australia the price of S5 is 849 to 899, S4 launched for 749 here i believe. :/
I pre-ordered mine from AT&T the other day. The no contract price is $650.
I found the Octa Core exynos cheap on Ebay ($650ish), but I want the snapdragon one.
I just went on millenius.com and it turns out they only do bank transfer and something else for payment.
no paypal option seems super shady to me..
I went to the local electronics store in Herzliya and they told me 2,600.00 shekel ($745.844) which is actually less than I thought it would be. I thought it would be more like 4000 haha.
Now that we see different deals coming out from carriers, BOGO, $480 trade, 50% off, is the Note 7 offer really a deal or are we just being duped with marketing to buy from Samsung?
Should we voice our opinions to Samsung and try to get some reconciliation of some kind?
What do you all think?
I picked up an iphone 5S from Walmart for the trade in. Cost around $100. Bottom line is that I don't have to add a line I don't need to my TMO account along with loosing my grandfathered incredible account. Net cost is $605 and I get $100 worth of freebies as a pre-order. I think it is a great deal for former Note 7 owners.
The difference really is in the new line or adding line details. Still, since there is any deal for any carrier new line or add a line, 480 trade, 50%, or BOGO, shouldn't the Note 7 offer have been a little more than the rest...those who trade in the lesser of the phones for 425 is getting a better deal but if they are trading in the s8 or s7, att is better and sprint is 50% off with no trade...it doesn't really bother me, I was just curious how everyone feels about it...I like the Samsung deal because I own the phone, but Sprint lease has 20/month with trade ins that can bring it to 10/month as another posted for 240 total and paying at the end to own another 240...so 480 total...but the whole thing with monthly payments...is it really a savings?

I grabbed a very near mint Galaxy S5 for $80, turn around and save $425 off the Note8. At the end of the day with the S5 trade in, selling the gear360 and selling my LG V20 I will walk away with the Note8 for around $260 (break down below) so I am pretty happy.

I agree that it is not really a deal for Note 7 owners when I am trading in my Note 5 for $480. But that is the carriers, not really Samsung's fault.

The fact that people have been buying Note 7 emails and codes even though they didn't own one just to get in on the deal shows that it's a pretty good deal.
What I got from Samsung because of the Note 7 fiasco:
Free use of the Note 7 for 4 months (normally $37.50 a month to lease = $150 comped)
Free use of the loaner S7Edge for 5 months (another $32.59 a month = $165 comped)
Free 256gb memory card ($250)
Free Gear VR ($125?)
$425 off a note 8 after trade in ($425 - $75 to buy a brand new iphone 5s from straight talk = $350)
Free 360 camera ($250?)
That's already $1000+ of free stuff right there, and that's just from 1 Note 7 and 1 Note 8. Others got multiple Note 7s and 8s and probably got even more stuff.
I'm only familiar with the Tmo BOGO, so that's the one I can talk about. The Sprint leasing deal is pretty good though. $10? or $20? a month for a lease to own the Note 8. Only downside is you're tied to Sprint for 2 years.
For the TMo BOGO: It's great if you are need 2 lines and 2 Note 8s anyway (wife, buddy, group buy). But for those of us who need just 1 or not on TMo, the Samsung deal is easier to do. For the TMo BOGO you need to add a line ($10 a month until the prepaid card comes in), you have to wait several months to get your money, you have to pay full taxes for both phones, and you have to go through selling the 2nd phone and freebie if you only need one phone.
Yes, the Note 7 deal is part of marketing from Samsung, but they're also legitimately subsidizing money for that deal because you were a loyal Note user. What they didn't anticipate is that carriers are also willing to lose money and subsidize the Note 8 just to lock you into their network. Just be happy that all these corporations are willing to lose money just to keep us, as opposed to 10 years ago when carriers didn't care and blatantly screwed everyone because we had no choice but to bend over (Verizon is still that way today).

Man, where did you find an S5 that cheap? I selected to send in a non-Samsung phone. According to chat, that's what I have to send in. Looking for a used V20, they're all in the $175-200 price range unless it's a bad IMEI.

Yes, the older the cheaper just make sure it's on the Note7 promo trade-in list which the S5 is. The lady even left her 16gb SD card in the phone, can't have enough SD cards ?

Same place I got mine. He wanted $125.00 and settled for $50.00, said it's been sitting in his drawer for over two years. Looked at swappa first but I think they know about the Samsung trade in and aren't dealing.
Hey all its that time of year again where we get all excited about the new note phone here in the good old United Kingdom.
Feel free to post All UK based news and preorder Info etc.
Are you jumping on board, which phone are you coming from what features made you switch or upgrade.
Pricing Information as of announcement day
£1099 for 512gb
£899 for 128gb
£400 trade in value for Note8
No pre order gifts in the UK
Paypal is standard offer i.e credit charge for 6 -24 months, or 0% if paid off in 4 months (paypal standard offer)
Quidco currently giving back 4% as of 11th August, however if you use a trade in device it will be 4% off the discounted price not the full retail price. I.e its roughly £15 on the 128gb and £19 on the 512gb
For myself I have had nearly every note since the first one. Alas note 7 was my fave, and currently have the 8.
As soon as it's available to Pre Order I'm in.
Hoping to get the Blue on with the yellow spen.

Are you already on the upgrade program?
I have sold my Note 8 so I can just buy outright but was thinking about the upgrade option so I could change next year without the fuss.
Do you have to have a phone to return to be able to join the program?
Yeah be going through Samsung Direct, not on the upgrade program myself but be interesting on what deals they do and may for the first time look at their upgrade program

As for the Upgrade you don't need to have a phone as your starting a fresh upgrade program , So you would then just trade in your Note 9 next year (I would read T&C`s tho as good few caveats in there that made me go hmmmm)
Tho if Samsung do the Paypal 0% again that looks a better deal
Tho if they do the paypal 0% offer again that's a better option
May I ask why the PayPal deal is better than the upgrade program?

Paypal in 0% interest so unless you have a balance transfer cred card its a good option

I very much doubt it, in previous years US got a lot better buy in deals than the UK, probably get the usual 256gb micro sd card or next version of the VR lol if were lucky
Price is £1099 512gb or 899 for 128gb
£300 trade in deal and no pre order offers yet
Duplicate entry see below post
Price is £1099 512gb or 899 for 128gb
£400 trade in deal for note8 and no pre order offers yet
No paypal 0% credit offer either yet
I've asked Samsung whether the ones available for pre-order are single or dual SIM variants but they are not sure yet.
Samsung website doesn't mention anything about Dual SIM version, was looking forward to it, got rid of my Note 8 Duos , so may have to look elsewhere.
edit* If you click find retailer it shows Hybrid SIM.

Doesn't feel like there's much excitement for this one.
I want to get the Note 9 512GB/8GB Ram variant but feeling a little hesitant to pull the trigger considering the price of £1,099.00 and no pre-order gifts.
Just wondering if anyone has bought the S10 from eBay and who did you buy from?
Also which version did you buy?
I’ve never bought anything expensive as this from eBay and the discounted prices seem to scare me in regards legitimatcy.

It should concern you. I would suggest a lot of research of the seller, paying with a means that gives you some protection such as PayPal or credit card, the sellers return policy, and more than 1 persons good experience with the seller.
Just ask yourself this:
Is it worth buying the phone at a sketchy price that could possibly end up being a clone or scam one week before legitimate versions are available in stores?

I've purchased a number of Galaxy devices from a Houston based seller, best pricing, fast delivery and great customer service.

Yep, well established Seller! I think they sold over 2,000 Note 9's....
That isn't a huge discounted price so I would feel better about that seller than one that's cutting a lot of dollars off the price. That's only 60 or 70 dollars off what Amazon sells it for with an included SD card.

I purchased and already received my Galaxy S10e, SM-G970F/DS from the same seller mentioned. Included an SD card was likely a Latin American model or something because it booted up in Spanish. Otherwise, it's been fantastic and I've been using it since yesterday. Located in the US and running smoothly on Mint Mobile. Bought for just shy of $700
My concern is that these devices haven't even been released in the US yet and this seller is selling them for $100 less than the MSRP. Also, the fact they are supposedly an international model, yet are coming with a US power adapter? Lastly, this appears to be the phones everythingapplepro used on YouTube for his drop test and it broke quite easily, faster than most expected with cornings gorilla glass 6. Not saying these phones are not legitimate, but I have a bit of reservation on them being consistent with Samsung's released product due to the above concerns. If they are legitimate, fantastic deal at that rate.

I think this identical phone with a bundled SD card is only 60 or 70 bucks more on Amazon. Of course there won't be a warranty on the international version purchased in the US.

Yeah, I see that on Amazon. However, it is from a 3rd party seller which is consistent with these eBay phones being discussed, not officially sold by Amazon. I am keeping my official Samsung preorder to be sure. I'm a bit curious to see other drop/durability tests and other YouTube reviews once the official retail units ship out next week.
Also, something to note, the 128gb SD cards are also included with these eBay models we are discussing. Comes with an SD card in the box, clear case (which was rumored early on in the leaks) and a US wall charger.

Ahh. I’m in Europe so ordering from America would become very expensive with import charges. Unfortunately. The Snapdragon variant looks so promising!!

Don't fall for the superficial benchmarks around, we still don't know why people avoid posting battery tests involving the SnapD, also it's permanently bootloader-locked and some updates never get to it.
Anyway don't buy from eBay, Samsung doesn't manage those sales, you get no pre-order bonus, your warranty might be forged and it definitely doesn't look legitimate when some unknown third-party seller puts their hands on pre released devices, selling them for about 10% less than the release price, delivering faster than Samsung itself.
The bonus buds alone are worth more than any eBay deal could save you, and if anything happens with an official pre-order you have legal power, stick to Samsung, Amazon or other officially recognised shops that respect the pre-order plans.
It's legit twisted420 bought his from that seller

LOL, unless farboypup is the seller.
If those phones end up being stolen units they'll just be nationally IMEI banned from every network, in any country they are reported as stolen.
Why all negativity... Buy the seller..
Like mentioned those bought from has like tousends of Positive Feedback...
Its like all youtubers who has the phone has a potentially stolen ones???
Comone. It sounds you all jellous of ones who got phones in hands few days before you do [emoji3][emoji3]

I have dealt with 'Never-MSRP' for the majority of my recent purchases; Samsung or not. I highly recommend them.
See my 'Device History':
S7 Edge (G935FD)
Note 8 256GB (N950N)
Mi A1 (MDG2)
Note 8 (N950FD)
Mi A2 (1M1804D2SG)
Note 9 (N960FD)
ALL Never-MSRP.
They have willingly accepted any and all returns with full refunds OR exchanges (provided the returns met their guidelines; which all my returns did).
I've had nothing but positive experience with them as well... If I buy on eBay I will buy from them before considering another seller

I bought the Galaxy s6 and my current Huawei mate 20 pro from them. They are legit and awesome sellers of phones!!! My mate 20 pro was perfect, factory sealed and all. Very happy with the seller and more importantly my lovely phone which replaced the note 9 lol
