Note9 purchase suggestion (Snapdragon, Dual SIM) - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

I want to buy Note9 with Snapdragon CPU and Dual SIM. In Bangladesh only Exynos CPU is available. As per GSMArena, Snapdragon is available in USA. But not sure whether dual SIM version with Snapdragon CPU is available. Anyone can confirm and give any reference of buying Note9 from USA online shops?

I got one pretty cheap by getting the Exynos dual sim from Hong Kong. As long as you check the antennas match your country's carrier you are good to go.

Check the seller NEVER MSRP @ eBay, they sell the SM-N9600 model, it's the Snapdragon Dual-SIM version.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/223115691818
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/223104248407

Just few things to be aware of with the N9600
- Dual-SIMDual SIM Standby - Call active on one sim card
- Samsung Pay won't be working if available in your country
- You can't be flashing a firmware for your provider as they will be available only for exynox not Snapdragon as the latest is not available by default in your country
Hope this helps you making the decision.

International Note 9 Questions...

I have a Note 9 on order from Rogers (Canada), but am interested in the dual-SIM, International Exynos version from eBay. Anyone know if the Exynos version supports Google Pay (one of the ads stated it didn't) or if there are other issues to consider when picking up an international, Exynos edition?
The key motivator for me is the dual-SIM. An unlocked bootloader would be good to have, but not necessary for my needs. Would the dual-SIM Snapdragon version offer any advantages?
N9600 should work in Canada and not the Exynos version due to LTE band support frequency.

1) As for compatibility,it would help to know which network(s) you plan on using.
2) As for where to buy,the world's your oyster. As to single or dual SIM,most of the listings I've seen for the SM-N9600 (Snapdragon) are Dual-SIM,you'd have to verify that w/the seller.
3) Also,which RAM/Storage configuration are you interested in?

Compatibility definitely isn't a problem.
IDK the particulars regarding bringing your own (compatible) device to Grameenphone.
Barring no policies against it,IDK if the phones they sell have carrier-specific items that'll only work on their phones (software/firmware related restrictions).Wi-Fi Calling/VCo-LTE/VisualVoicemail come to mind.......
With all of that said,here's a seller on e-Bay that I would recommend (hoping you'll be in the US long enough to take delivery):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Samsun...Ee_4PJXup8lvPKfZtoNA:rk:3:pf:1&frcectupt=true
(30 day warranty/return policy with this seller,you can check the other sellers for better warranty/warranty options).
Finding US retailers that sell this version of the Note 9 are virtually non-existent ATM,but,that will likely change in another couple of months (B&H Photo/Video comes to mind).
Amazon (USA) has 'em,but,they come without any warranty whatsoever.

Snapdragon Dual SIM?

Hey, I'm in Germany and I'm looking into the S10 5G (I also split my time in the US), so I'm looking for a Duos Snapdragon variant. Are these even made? I tried looking up the listings and it's not clear, leading me to think only the Chinese and Global variants have them, not the GSM US versions with the Snapdragon.
Can anyone confirm or refute? If I could do the Snap with the Duos, that would be my choice.

Best International Note 9 Model for T-Mobile US?!

Looking at possibly picking up a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 International Model for use on the T-Mobile US Network. It looks like the most compatible Variant is the N960F UK model - would someone be able to confirm if this is correct? Thanks for any help that may be sent my way.
n960f/ds is international unlocked. The complete continent of Europe has this model. ds varient has 2 sim card slots. if I were you I would inform yourself of the frequencies that tmo US uses and then compare that to the 960f model to make sure it works. I am American and I've used my 960f is US without issues. but still you should confirm that yourself

Question OnePlus 10 Pro unlocked dual sim on T-Mobile USA

Hi folks,
I am looking to buy a OP10Pro dual sim unlocked device which would support all 4G/5G bands in USA, specifically T-mobile. I looked at some options available on Amazon or other websites similar to this listing - https://www.wirelessplace.com/produ...ernational-version-new?variant=42835975471274
Looks like these devices do not support all the 4G/5G bands similar to the official OP10Pro that T-mobile offers.
Does this option exist at all currently?
I am basically looking for an unlocked dual sim T-mobile variant.
Thanks
The "T-Mobile" variant is just the North American version (NE2215). I use it on T-Mobile and works great.
As for the Euro and Indian dual sim versions should work fine.

DON'T. it's not worth the hassle of buying a chinese brick model NE2210.
euro model should be fine NE2213

The 10 Pro doesn't support mmwave at all. The only thing different with the T-Mobile version is it has an IP-68 rating because T-mobile paid to get it for the ones that they sell. Essentially the NE2217 (TMO-US) is the same as the NE2215 except for branding and a certification.
I found this on OnePlus community forums.
NE2210 China
NE2211 India
NE2215 Global, IN
NE2213 Europe
NE2217 T-Mobile
Let me put it this way - Is there any dual sim model which supports all the T-Mobile bands including the mmWave similar to NE2217?
In other words, I am looking for a dual sim NE2217 model.
Thanks

This is mostly correct, the NE2215 is the North American hardware. OnePlus has really fragmented this phone's versions. Basically NE2210, NE2213 and NE2215 are all used for the "Global ROM" or International variant.

No because the mmWave feature of the X65 modem was never included with any 10 Pro. Also technically the NE2215 and NE2217 have actual dual sim slots, the SIM tray carrier is modified to prevent dual sim use. I'd also wouldn't be surprised if they never programmed a second IMEI for these variants.
Damn. It's getting impossible to stick with OnePlus. They not only botched the software but also removed the dual sim and not providing esim support.
I really do not know what device to buy next. My OnePlus 7 pro won't live forever.

You should look at the spec sheet

I have, the phone has no 6GHz+ capabilities, the X65 has an addon module for mmWave and at no point in any OnePlus or T-Mobile marketing does it say that its mmWave capable. Multiple articles online also back this up. I purposely got a Pixel 6 Pro before I got this phone because it was marketed as a mmWave capable phone, but switched to the 10 Pro for other reasons. Also TMO-US doesn't clearly describe what bands are mmWave, but they include them in their 5G UC labeling. The only 5G UC band I ever get is n71 which isn't even near mmWave frequencies.
I really hope that the 10 Pro has the mmWave addon module and it just hasn't been enabeled yet by OnePlus, but everything I've read seems to point to no.
Ok. If I have to get a dual sim model which would support most of 4G/5G bands on TMobile, which one should I go for?
Any links to the model/store would be appreciated.
Also, will just swapping out the single sim tray with a dual sim tray on an unlocked T-Mobile variant do the trick?

NE2213 is considered to have all the bands and dual sim.

i don't know, my 8Pro SIM tray is slightly too tall,
The European model supports T-Mobile bands and dual sim, but is not certified by Verizon or ATT so I don't think a Verizon sim will work.
An unlocked Pixel 6 Pro would be good for what you want as it supports and is certified on all carriers all bands in North America and around the world.
I have got US model 2215, it has single sim. I bought dual sim tray and the second sim contacts are visible inside the phone. i believe this model can be converted to DUAL SIM.
My question is how can I flash EU or IN firmware on US model?
THanks
I have installed Indian ROM into my US 10 Pro (single sim).
Got a dual sim tray from china for this.
now i rooted and enabled dual sim in build.prop. I can see dual sim in settings but second sim has null imei. second sim is not working yet.
Does the NE2213 version with global rom have t-mobile wifi calling and volte?

No, i tried everything but no success. I quit. But the last hope is the custom rom. Maybe you could try that. I don't have the device now.
I have to stay on the official rom, so no luck form me.
Thanks anyway !!
