N950F = International Version (EXYNOS)
N950U = US Version (SNAPDRAGON)
N950N = Korean Version (EXYNOS) 256GB

There is no N950K, like the US variants, all the Korean variants were unified into one SKU, which is the SM-N950N.

SM-N950F (Exynos Single SIM)
SM-N950F/DS (Exynos Dual SIM)
SM-N950N (South Korean carrier variant, Exynos)
SM-N950U (US Snapdragon 835 Single SIM variant, Locked Bootloader)
SM-N950W (Canadian Snapdragon 835 Single SIM, Locked Bootloader)
SM-N9500 (Chinese Snapdragon 835 Dual SIM, Unlocked Bootloader)
Preferably get either of the first two, they're unlocked and it doesn't really matter whether you get the Dual SIM or not since the software updates and all are the same.

Ah, that explains it with the SM-N950F/DS I have, which is the variant sold here in Singapore. I'd be willing to bet the SM-N950F has a different SIM tray.
Besides looking at the label on the bottom of the box, another way to identify the SM-N950F/DS variant is the presence of the Samsung "DUOS" logo on the top of the left side of the box, where the carrier logo would be on a carrier variant.
Additionally, Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, and Note8 sold in Singapore have an extra Samsung Singapore support sticker on the top of the inner lid of the box, and as with past Galaxy phones sold in the same country, there's an extra brochure (separated from the documentation) highlighting some features (some of them specific to here) like Smart Switch, Samsung Pay, Samsung Concierge, and Smart Academy.

It probably does, and yes the stuff you mentioned in the spoiler is exactly the same as my Note 8 which is a Singapore import as well. I too have the extra Samsung support sticker, Samsung Pay info and extra brochures inside the box.

Except, I do actually live in Singapore*, where it has a recommended retail price of S$1398, and it seems to be more expensive in Australia.
*I'm currently on holiday with some relatives in Perth, that's why I bothered to research the Australian retail price.
Oh yeah! I just remembered, Samsung Pay appears to be region/country specific. I'm not sure if there'll be a way to sideload a different country version without rooting, or if the user would have to use Android Pay instead. At least, after finding out while browsing the "My Apps" list in Galaxy Apps, I now have a second reason why I bought mine in my home country (besides the price difference).
I can post a screenshot of what I mean here, or you can watch this video I just uploaded, where you can also see my particular unit I just mentioned:
Oh, and if you want to see them, more photos I posted on Instagram, and I have even more photos of mine.

Samsung Pay will activate in your country when you activate the phone with a SIM card from that country, doesn't matter where you bought it.
Singapore's default CSC is XSP, activating the phone with a Singaporean SIM card will activate XSP on the phone and you'll be able to use Samsung Pay in Singapore.
Suppose you take the phone to Australia cause you've moved there. Reset it, activate it with an Australian SIM card. Origin CSC stays as XSP, active CSC however becomes XSA or any other Australian CSC and Samsung Pay will work there too.
Keep in mind this only applies to international model phones (N950F), and not the other variants.
The issue with the Korean Note FEs was that they were all South Korean carrier phones which meant they could only be used there for Samsung Pay and nowhere else.

Oh, I get it now. I'll go update the description of my video.
The thing is, I saw these packages in Galaxy Apps:
(It disappeared, but I remember it being there when I made the video yesterday)
Oh yeah, and a small side effect for me that can be ignored: I bought my Note8 from someone else, who got it from Singtel, and when I set it up for the first time, I didn't have my SIM card installed, which had it set the CSC to XSP, and install that carrier's bloatware. (I did it like this first because I wanted to try some stuff that I couldn't try on the retail demo unit, theming being one of them) I did a reset, and put in my M1 SIM card. This time, only "My Singtel" app installed, and I could disable that and "Singtel Apps" packages in the Apps section in Settings.
I did, however, find out a way to view the active CSC, which I remembered not being able to do on my Note3 a few years ago.
Hey guys, might be a stupid question, but I wanted to ask this, is the N950F/DS the same (or another name actually) as the N950FD ?

Yes. Technically there is no N950FD but most retailers have the dual SIM variant listed as such. That and the N950F/DS are exactly the same.

I really don't understand Samsung's choices sometimes, at time I feel totally mind boggled by some of the decisions that Samsung makes, like putting Tizen on Gear smartwatches & making it incompatible with Android Wear, why not make Gear line of run on both Android's os & Samsung's Tizen os just like our Notes & S line phones do, if they couldn't put both operating systems on the devices then why not make a line that runs Android os & a line that runs Tizen os, the same frustration with Samsung when they short the US customers with base variant phones that only come with 64gb of rom, we do always get blessed with the flagship snapdragon processor chip, I definitely appreciate Samsung for that b/c the Snapdragon processors are always better, what I don't understand is why bless the states with Snapdragons flagship processor chips but then turn around & short us by only releasing base version variants that only come with 64gb, bless us with the best processors & cut us off at the knees by only releasing a base model with 64gb of rom while Samsung releases variants with 64gb rom & 128gb rom & 256gb rom.
I WANT the 256gb version, I always go for the variant that has the largest screen size & the most memory.
Samsung should release all variants in every country, it shouldn't be a problem for anyone in any country to go to Samsung's global site or our country's site & order whatever device we want with whatever variant that we want.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 256gb Korean variant compatible with US carriers ?!!
If so which carriers is it compatible with ?
Verizon Wireless is my carrier.
Do any of you have a non US variant & if so does it fully function or is it limited ?
Is the 950F/DS or 9500 on 8.0 yet?

SAMSUNG NOTE 8 SM-N950U and SM-N9500
Hello All. Please, I need some help. I have a Samsung note 8 SM-N950U as it says in the "About Phone" option with the Snapdragon 835. When i take photos or connect the phone to a PC, it says Samsung note 8 with model number SM-N9500.
I am confused because it is a single sim device and all the SM-N9500 are dual sim device. I was thinking of flashing with the China firmware but i am scared the IMEI will become locked again.
What should I do at this point?

Boot into download mode and it'll show you the actual model number.
If it's SM-N9500, you can flash the TGY SM-N9500 ROM and you should be able to get dual SIM functionality.
Does anyone know if there's much difference, if any between ordering a Dual Sim Note 8 from Dubai or Hong Kong. The phone is shipping to Australia if that matters.
Thanks..

Be sure, to buy the SM-N950F (International version), NOT the SM-N9500 which is sold i.e. in Hong-Kong & China

Why not ? I have n9500 and it's great
I think dubai is Exynos Model. If you are looking for an Exynos Model, look into buying from Brazil too, it has 128gb dual sim exynos available. and samsung page shows it ships worldwide.
but if you are not planning to root/customize much you can go with hongkong model(SM-N9500) with 256gb they are quite cheap if you buy from ebay.com.au going at around 1200 AUD$ and getting shipped within 2 weeks. some even within a week and from Australia so no import tax.
I am also from australia and waiting for 256gb exynos dual sim model. lets hope this christmas brings good news.
Thanks for the tips.. I don't need a lot of memory, so I've ordered the 64gb model from Dubai for less than A$1000.
Hi,
I received dual sim version of NOte9. It is unfortunately SM-N9600 verision, which I can see is LATM region. It came with uk charging brick though. ANy chances to chave the region changed (snapdragon) obviosly, preferably to European?
That is not possible as the N9600 is designed for the Asian market. That said it should work perfectly in the UK as it is a GSM device. However you won't be able to use Samsung Pay
It was sold on amazon.co.uk described as International version. And the phone was equipped with 3 pin UK charger, which I believe was a false advertising and re-boxed. I contacted the seller, but I will also file a claim on Amazon. Disappointing. I am getting Chinese notifications from time to time, that's why I wanted to flash English language based Rome, in terns of region. Not possible than?
That's seem strange, I ordered and received the N9600 version (particularly dual sim blue 8/512).
I live in Europe, where the official is exynos version.
My phone works flawlessly, no Chinese notifications, during initial setup I had all language choices.
Only some particular services provided by my local GSM services are not supported (like wifi calling or volte)

Well hong Kong and latin America so sort of international.
If your getting Chinese stuff on there even though you said yours is latin it must be running chinese firmware. Id suggest flashing latin america firmware to try and get rid of that annoyance.
Use fw.updato.com and get a Latam version of the firmware to flash in Odin. That'll get rid of Smart Manager and the other Chinese crap.

I had what I assume was a Chinese notification on my phone the other day, in one of the Samsung apps. My phone is an International N960F/DS supplied directly from Samsung UK and running 2 UK SIMs so it may not be firmware dependant...
He has a n9600 not 960f....that phone can comes from HK or latin america.
In his case yes it can be firmware.

It was a misconfiguration, I suspect, where the Galaxy app had announcement in Korean about some offers for the users in South Korea. That has now disappeared.

hey there, just wondering, did you buy that version for root?
also, do you have any issues with speeds /carrier aggregation?
I bought this version for gpu performance.
LTE and overall data speed and band aggregations works flawlessly. No issues at all.
Exynos was not capable in gaming and everyday smoothness and speed in every day scenario

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.

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.
Is the Galaxy Note 9 Dual SIM version the international version? Confused as on the Samsung UK website it sells the Dual SIM version.
Also as I want to use only the BTU CSC firmware on my Note 9.

Ah ok thanks, do you know if the dual version uses the same firmware as the single version?
Yes the single sim N960F and dual sim N960FD versions use the same firmware.
Not all the international versions of the note 9 are dual sim, you have to look for the N960FD version whitch is the dual sim.
By the way international version uses exynos chipset while the north american version uses snapdragon chipset. All snapdragon versions are single sim.
Other asian versions are exynos and also dual sim but you will lickely have problems with radio bands and software bloatware.

There is a Snapdragon Dual-SIM variant (SM-N9600) that can be rooted.
However,if you're in a market to where the Exynos-powered version is the status quo,you're probably better off getting the Exynos version,especially when it comes to using your region/carrier specific CSC/firmware.

All Dual SIM Exynos phones are identical. The only difference is the CSC installed.
The one being sold in the UK is the exact same as the one being sold in Europe, Middle East and Asia.

Be aware that if you use two SIMs that you cannot also use an SD card.
