Hello, I'm looking to buy a new note 8. I live in Belgium.
But I'm not sure what is the best model to buy.
So my aim is to root the phone and install a kernel or/and ROM to improve the battery life of the phone and it's longevity (I had a galaxy s3 for more than 5 years, on which I did rooting, was pretty happy about the improved battery life and the fact that it's still working fine)
I also notice that you can get snapdragon or exynos depending on the model you buy? Is the difference between these 2 significant?
So there is different model i found on the market :
-n9500 which from what I understood is the Honk-Kong or Chinese model? Seems like I should avoid it because because it doesn't support kernel or ROM?
-n950F which is european version?
-n950FD international version?
-n950N Korean version it seems.
What is your opinion on the model I should buy?
Best regards,
vifzor

If you need dual SIM go for the N950FD if not go for the regular N950F which is the same as FD except dual sim

Does N950F support micro SD card?
Yes, it does
Take a look through the oem unlock thread too.
acctualy the korean n950n would be considered a sure bet. specially if you consider the 256gb version.
there are no issues with the oem unlock. other exynos F/FD's might have that problem.
What is eom unlock?
Sorry for the noob question

The only two main considerations IMO (since you already stated you are going to root, so Samsung Pay is out):
N950F/D has full dual-SIM functionality out of the box, so if you need dual SIM this would seem like a smart choice
N950N can be purchased in a 256gb internal capacity version which is great if you want large internal storage
Since you are going to run a custom ROM anyway, there is no functional difference between the two, save for dual-SIM on the F/D
As others mentioned, one potential issue with the N950F or F/D is that they need to be SIM-activated in their intended region before you can use them with a different country SIM card, and people have found that the OEM Unlock (to unlock the bootloader) option is either missing, doesn't show up for 7 days after first use, or disappears after flashing new firmware or ROMs. This is not an issue with the Korean N950N as Korean models are never region, SIM, or carrier locked and do not require the local SIM activation.

mhh..
So seems like buying the N950F or F/D is like playing lottery?
I guess I'll go for the N950N then. But the price is much more expensive because of the custom fee unfortunately...

depends on the provider used, the N950N supports all 3 of T-Mobile's main bands 2, 4, and 12 and I'm regularly getting download speeds over 100 Mbps, uploads around 40 Mbps, which is faster than what my T-Mobile-branded Note 5 got in the same areas.

haha 'best' is arbitrary depending on what you want out of a Note 8. It's my preferred because I wanted Exynos, 256gb internal storage, and supported LTE bands for my carrier. For anyone who needs dual-sim functionality I would direct them to the N950F/D or I believe there is an N9500 dual-SIM model in Hong Kong. If someone just wants a Note 8 and won't need dual SIM, lots of internal space, and won't want to root it, the 'best' Note 8 is likely the one that their carrier offers.
I plan to buy N950N 256 go in South Korea because I'm scared about custom fee(only possible to buy phone from outside Europe) and I want to go to SK anyway.
But If I buy N950N in South Korea can I start using it there or should I wait to use it for the first time in Belgium? I guess it should be fine but I'm not sure.

The Amazon link you mentioned says it's not CDMA. So it seems to be an Exynos Korean version. If it was CDMA then it would be a Snapdragon Note 8 which would still work in Belgium if there is no region lock or SP lock.
EDIT, I searched google and came up with this thread about the SM-N950N all the information is on the first post. thank you

Hi all, How are you?
I am going to buy a Nokia 7 Plus phone, but I could not find a reliable source pointing out the differences between models TA-1046 and TA-1062.
I searched in this forum and at Google, but , I could not find the information that I need.
My questions are below:
1) Are there hardware differences between models TA-1046 and TA-1062?
(supported 4G bands difference?supported 3G/2G bands difference?any other hardware difference?)
2) I could not find a seller for model TA-1046. I have been searching for months where to buy model TA-1046, but I could not find a place to buy model TA-1046.
Does someone know where I can buy model TA-1046?
3) I could only find sellers to buy model TA-1062, How do I make sure that the seller model is build "“00WW”"?
According to link bellow, It seems that only the build “00WW”" is the Android One version, right?
https://www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/developer
Therefore, I would like to make sure that I am buying build "“00WW”".
Does someone know whether is possible to check in advance which build model TA-1062 has installed?
Where can I buy model TA-1062 that has build "“00WW”" installed?
4) I am also confused regarding which model is the international one.
Because lots of reviews describes that model TA-1046 is the international model, and that it is the Android One model as well.
I also found out that the majority of sellers advertise that model TA-1062 is the international one also.
Does someone know which version is the international one?TA-1062 or TA-1046?
Please, may someone help me?
I appreciate any help you can give me
1) Almost the same.
2) Try ebay? or taobao express?
3) Yes. 00WW means it is global one.
00CN version has no Android One logo on the back of the phone.
4) TA-1062 has two different versions. One is sold in Mainland China with Chinese Special Version.
Another is Android One version sold in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
Hi , SUN Huayan, thanks for helping.
I still have some question and concerns about differences between models TA-1062 and TA-1046 .
Please, May someone help me out with it?

1) I need to know the detailed supported band information for models TA-1062 and TA-1046.
I am not sure which model is compatible with available 4G/3G networks in my country.
Does someone know where I can find detailed supported band information for models TA-1062 and TA-1046?
2) I could not find model TA-1046 available at ebay that ships it to my country.
3) How can I figure out whether the phone has Android logo in its back if I can not ask the seller to open the box and send a picture of its back?
I mean, I find out some sellers at Amazon and DX, It is not possible to ask the seller to open the product box, and send a picture of it to me.
Is there something outside the phone box that identifies which model TA-1046 version it is?
4) I have searched at kimovil, and I found out those links below that might be model TA-1062 with build 00WW.
Does someone have any ideas how to figure out witch model TA-1062 variant it is?
There are some questions about it at product page at DX, but the seller did not clarified which model TA-1062 variant it is.

Hello! Do you have any stores nearby that sell gadgets like smartphones and such? Try them so that you can see what you like. I have a TA-1046 and it's running pure android AKA android one, if you ask.
I have the t-1046 model and i still don't have the android pie update ...asked in the nokia chat , they told me it depends on the model or region. Anyway it has android one on it and i believe every shop in Romania sells the 1046 model

Hi all, How are you?
I am trying to buy a Nokia 7 Plus for months, and I could not figure out which variant will work in my country.
I found out that there are at least four Nokia 7 Plus variants: TA-1055, TA-1046, TA-1062 China and TA-1062 Global.
May someone help me please?
What are the differences between all those variants (TA-1055, TA-1046, TA-1062 China and TA-1062 Global)?
I appreciate any help you can give me
i don't really know if is not some wrong, but i think:
TA-1046 = DualSIM, 4GB RAM, AndroidOne, Global
TA-1055 = SingleSIM, 4GB RAM, AndroidOne, Global
TA-1062 global = DualSIM, 4GB RAM, AndroidOne, Global
TA-1062 china = DualSIM, 6GB RAM, NO AndroidOne, China(without GooglePlay and with (i think) some china apps)
global is "00WW", china is "00CN"...
"00CN can be switch to "00WW"
I think TA-1062 is the 6GB variant. You have mistakenly type 4GB.
Thanks a lot for helping.
I still have some questions, please, may ou help me?
1) Are there differences in supported LTE and 3G Bands between the Nokia 7 Plus Variants?
I need to verify which variant supports my country LTE and 3G bands.
2) I understood that TA-1055 is a SingleSIM variant, right?
Does TA-1055 variant also have a microSD slot?
3) Are there differences in Android OTA updates released to each variant?
4) Because Nokia does not officially sells phones in my country, so I have been searching to buy it online, and import.
Therefore, I can not ask to a online seller to open the phone's box in order to verify its Android build - to make sure it is "00WW".
I was not able find a online seller to TA-1046 variant.
I found TA-1055 variant available at Amazon uk only.
I found TA-1062 variant available at Deal Extreme, but It is not clear whether their variant is the Global or the Chinese one. DX claims that their variant is Taiwan.
4.1) Do you suggest any online seller that has the global variant for sure?
4.2) Do you have any ideia what is the Taiwan variant?Is the Taiwan variant the Chinese one? or the global?
Thanks a lot
I am not sure, I have found the links bellow with TA-1062 4GB RAM:

Apparently, they are selling the 128 GB version on INDIA too. And it isn't the Tencent VErsion. It is the global version one, with the aero case, but with the 18W charger and no cooler.
Here's the proof.

If it actually comes with WW firmware natively, I'm planning on buying that one.

Watched the video. Pretty interesting compared to the Tencent version.
Interested in finding out which LTE bands are available. Doesn't make sense from a manufacturing perspective to have all these different versions.

The Indian model is listed as having VoLTE and the only retailer I can find that has it listed is Flipkart. They list the model number as
ZS660KL-1A017IN
I'm guessing India is getting their own special version. IIRC Indian law requires a certain percentage of the phone to be manufactured in India.

If it has the global firmware I would want to get it. It's basically the Global version but with 128 GB ROM and 8 gb RAM.

Which LTE Bands does it have?

I checked Kimovil yesterday regarding tencent version's supported bands for India, and it has all the necessary ones. Which leads me to believe that the phone will be very similar to the tencent version, with some better stuff like aero case and global firmware, but not that far off. For those without a ROG 2 yet it seems worth it to get it form there, but without expecting any additional bands IMO.

I didn't say it is.
I said that the tencent version already has all LTE Bands for India, so the "India version", however different it may be with the aero case, global firmware, etc., most likely won't have a change of LTE Bands. At least that's what I think.

Thanks for the link, I ordered one directly from Asus. Wasn't crazy about $70 in tax but at least I know I will have a valid warranty and I can return it if I need to without a hassle.
Does anyone know what model number is specific to Europe? All i can find is G998B but theres also G998B/DS and i have no idea what the difference is
I want to make sure i got the correct model for my region and that Samsung Pay will work etc
Is International model and European the same??
DS = Dual Sim
Oh right! I asked because the European model is listed as G998B but my model is G998B/DS and has one or two pre installed apps from Singapore so when i done an imei check it confirmed the region the model belonged to was Singapore.
I just want to know if i will experience any short comings because of this? Im in Ireland so hope it won't affect the warranty and i hope Samsung Pay still works etc

Yes, the variant is the same. Since your device had OXM you have the option to change the CSC to your particular region. DS only means the SM-G988B is a Dual Sim Variant, the FW is identical.
