Thank you for the answer. I'm trying to figure which exynos version to buy that I can root and also have LTE from at&t.
You wouldn't happen to know this would you.

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm going to try and switch my region to see if I can buy the Exonos version. If I can, through Samsung, all we have to find out is what radio bands it has. I am going to dig around a little bit. If anyone has the answer already, a response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

N920I vs N920G

I understand that the N920I is the International version, but what is the difference between it and the N920G? I'm looking to pick up one of these two unlocked to run on AT&T.

Get the N920i, many users in the states have it and its running great on AT&T.
Not sure the other model will have the same bands on AT&T.
Any thoughts on the N920C model? Has all the same bands and got marshmellow before the N920I model. I wanna pick one up for AT&T.

Have you heard anything about the N920C model? Does it work well on AT&T as well? Asking because I'm deciding between the two variants..

I think you should be fine - the bands match up with AT&T so I don't see an issue.
I personally tested the N920i model - so I can speak with confidence regarding that variant.
Thanks and the N920i seems to be the more popular variant and I read somewhere that the 'i' model doesn't come with bloat but the 'c' model does.. Since so many people swear by the 'i' model then it's prob wise to go with that one..

Yea, when I used the N920i on AT&T, I had no issues whatsoever.
I was able to install international ROMs and T-Mobile ROMs on there with ease.
I think you'll be perfectly happy with that choice. Enjoy!
Thanks. Def appreciate it..

Will a N950F work on sprint?

My friend just bought a N950f on ebay and is unable to activate it on sprint. Looking at the specs I do not see any kind of CDMA listed. I dont think it will work on sprint but I just wanted an expert opinion.

If you don't see any CDMA listed, then he bought the international version, which is noted with the F. International versions don't work with CDMA(Verizon/Sprint).

Dual sim for everyone?

Hey boys, I'm from Sydney and ordered my phone through Telstra
I later find out that Samsung will sell dual sim version through normal shops and single sim with all operators ( vodafone, telstra etc )
now that's my question.
will I be able to use dual sim if I buy a sim tray which allows 2 sim and flashing a firmware from dual sim version or the dual sim version has a different hardware too?
thanks

Im going to go for the copper version, can get the 128gb now but will wait for the 512gb for another week or so.
Really debating going with an n9600 instead of a exynos version for once just to try the snap out. At least the BL isnt locked on it so i can have root and twrp

A true dual sim device will have *two* IMEIs listed on the box.
My Exynos S9+ does.

Has the same bands as hk s8+ does. No reason it shouldn't work. I was even able to get volte working on it, once I got it rooted.

Agreed its just that people are looking to hear from someone that has had a HK snap device working on verizon.
Your the first person ive come across who has personal experience in this regard.

You should open a thread on it for sure. I know with the S9 and S9+ they just had to flash the Puerto Rico firmware to get signal. I'm definitely trying it when the firmware is released. Maybe the shipping firmware will work out of the box this time though.

It works fine on VZW, except no volte...Once root is established, we should be able to enable it. Unfortunately, there is zero dev support for this device.

You can find the device on Amazon and on foreign websites. There is no U.S. warranty. You can perhaps pay for out of pocket repairs, but my understanding is that it is difficult to find state-side repair shops that will touch it.

You could just on eBay and get squaretrade with the purchase. Some vendors provide this

I am considering picking up a SM-N960F/DS Samsung Galaxy Note 9, installing LineageOS 17.1 with MicroG and use with T-Mobile in the US. I have read that certain T-Mobile Services don't work out of the box, however, I have also read of a TMO Detonator configuration that can be installed which restores those missing features. Did you use TMO Detonator? If so, did TMO Detonator fix all the T-Mobile compatibility issues? If not, which features are still missing? Does Carrier Aggregation work? If not, what LTE Data speeds are possible? Are you happy with the SM-N960F/DS Note 9 experience on T-Mobile? Is there any site that still hosts the TMO Detonator File/Package and Instructions? Any other thoughts or advice? Thanks again for your time.
No, I never installed anything extra. CA did not work, but speeds were still decent.
