If there are any unlocked variants of the XP that have VoLTE and/or HD Voice, please list them here. Give as much detail as possible. Also if possible give a link where someone in the U.S. could be that variant from.
Thanks!
I bought one XXP (unlocked version) at Taipei/Taiwan.
VoLTE is built-in function. I don't know if HD voice is included.
The model is F8132 with dual sim card slots.

Yeah it sounds like the people who USE them in Hong Kong or various Asian countries actually GET VoLTE (I think you need VoLTE in order to have HD Voice, but not sure if it's automatically enabled if you DO have VoLTE or not). I have that same model and the Hong Kong version (which I use here in the U.S.). It doesn't show up for me but ppl in Hong Kong get it. It has to do with the SIM card used. U.S. ones don't enable it, but some other countries' SIM cards apparently do. See my other thread for more info. Make sure to click on "Click to show content" on 2 pics at top in quoted region.

Is there any news on Samsung doing a Developer Edition of their Note 9 Verizon models like they did for the Note 4 and the Note Edge? I really want to get my hands on that 512gb phone, but cant see myself committing to the locked bootloaders.
no, there isn't.

? just buy a exynos F or N or SD 9600
problem solved.
After a bit of googling and searching amazon I was only able to find AT&T compatible international versions, I remember someone saying the other CDMA phones worked on a different band then the US Verizon bands. When I google Exynos CDMA I get told Exynos isn't compatible with CDMA because the radios for it aren't installed on those phones.
Not gonna happen
There is no talk of a Developer Edition and is unlikely as none of the recent Notes have had one. The Exynos models don't have the proper LTE bands for Verizon. The N9600 is a Snapdragon, but I'm not sure if it runs the correct bands for Verizon either.

The n9600 works fine, with all lte bands and cdma on vzw. I'm using one now. No volte or ca YET. Once I get root, I should at least be able to get volte.

Where did you get your SM-N9600? The ones listed on Amazon claim to be the 9600 international version but they all say GSM only no CDMA.
EDIT: I found this: https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-sm-n960-model-number-differences/
It lists the different model numbers. it seems the 9600/9608 have all the bands listed under the 960U*** versions that are important to Verizon.

Amazon. They always list the international version has no CDMA. No clue why they do, but they are wrong.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up, I will make my way right on over there and get me one on Thursday when I get paid. One question, when you select language does it give the option for US English or only Brittish English? Not really a problem, just curious as I have never bought an international version.

It was defaulted to UK English, but reg English is available. Make sure to ask the seller if it has Latin fw. You NEED that for vzw.

I only see one on amazon, I checked ebay also and they look pretty much the same situation over there. none of them mention if it has the latin firmware with 1 exception. there is one being resold on ebay and the guy mentioned it was the hong kong version. Is yours the dual sim one? and if it is the right model with the snapdragon processor, couldn't I just flash the Latin Firmware via Odin?
Hello there,
It's my first post here. Currently I am using samsung galaxy a3 2017.
I want to buy note 9. There is couple versions available at eglobalcentral and I'm looking for unlocked and eu/uk version.
Currently I'm with three, but dual sim option is tempting since I travel a lot.
Do you know if version n960fd is free of career useless apps and if it will be working fine in Ireland? Lte vise it should be working to my knowledge but I wanted to ask for your advice.
Regards,
Rafal

i know 1800 mhz is Three LTE network, here in the UK as that's the band they purchased for 4G LTE i'm not sure about ireland. Also make sure you get the Exynos as it supports all LTE bands globally same for HSPDA, HSDPA+, 3G Etc,
Also im not sure about sim unlocked as i purchased my note direct from Samsung UK i have to make a full 5 min call in the UK/EU before i can use it in the asian region, or globally as there's a sticker on the box that warns me about that!
i aint sure if one would have to make the call in asia i.e Hong Kong for full 5 mins before it starts to work over here in the UK or in your case ireland,
as eGlobal is based in Hong Kong all is stock is for the Asian market...
i could be wrong i'm sure some XDA user will know the answer!
Hey, bump up on this thread.
I bought the model mentioned in the headline.
I did not try dual sim (or 2nd sim slot) in terms of LTE, but I have received a UK version of the phone from global central. It was 690 with shipping.
Everything works as intended and I'm happy with the device.
Will i able to get updates ?
Will i able to use volte(LTE) with UK/INDIA carrier or will i face any network issue?
or any other issue if i use snapdragon variant in non- snapdragon region.
Thank you in advance.
I'm using a Hong Kong model G9730 Snapdragon in UK, EE network. Everything works fine, updates and LTE+. The only thing that doesn't work is Samsung Pay but Google Pay works perfect. Can't say anything about other UK carriers or India.

Updates - not sure yet, we can push manually via adb.
VOLTE - In India, Airtel, Yes. I am currently using.
Does anyone own an Hong Kong version outside of Hong Kong?
If so, what are your experiences in terms of:
1. What country are you using it?
2. Does VoLTE Work?
3. Does Wifi Calling Work?
4. Both sim slot capable of 5G?
5. Samsung Pay work?
6. Call Recording?
Using G9980 HK version in Australia. No issues. VOLTE and wifi calling works. 5G works very well on SIM slot 2 only, not on SIM 1. No call recording. Have not tried Samsung Pay I use Google Pay.
Im in japan right now, and 4g works in both sims,volte works, in options could put 2 sims on 5g, but here dont have 5g yet.
in case someone else interested:
- Austria
- everything except for Samsung Pay and Call Recording works on my side
- 5G not tested, but shown as option

Needing a dual SIM phone for one of my clients. He is coming from an 8T. He bought an Unlocked 10 Pro from the US OnePlus website only to realize it is single sim. A quick search shows the international version has dual sim support Checking on Amazon I see both an international version and a Chinese version? The Chinese version also sells for about $200 less. I searched and could find very little about each phone working in the US. Are both these phones International and Chinese the same phone? Both dual SIM? Both have the same bands? If I purchase the Chinese version will I need to flash with a global or US rom?
Any drawbacks to having either phone in the US?
Thanks

I'm in the UK and have the NE2213 which is essentially the global version.
Personal I'd avoid the Chinese version but that's me
You can change region but I'd rather pay the money and get the real deal.
Warranty is going to he an issue, unless you're buying it from Amazon.
As far I've read the EU / NE2213 should work as expected for what you want.
Have a google for what signal bands are required for the sins you're going to be using , it should still work but best to verify
me too bought USA version and later found that its single sim 2215. I converted to 2211 and enable dual sim support, added second imei, inserted dual sim tray as well but no matter what second imei is always null and second sim never detected.
