Where to buy Nexus 5 in Korea? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm living in Korea on Osan AFB. No phone stores inside the base sell the Nexus 5, not even the LG store. I was hoping to order one online, preferebly 32GB Red, and hopefully FROM korea so it doesnt take 2 months to get here. Anyone know where I can go about getting one?

My problem was, I can't seem to find one that would ship from Korea so I don't have to wait months. But I could be looking wrong.

I bought mine right from Play. It shipped from Hong Kong. Had it in 3 days. Too easy.

I 100% assure you that nothing takes THAT long to ship and the proof is the guy I've also quoted, although 3 days seems a little fast (maybe express shipping or something? ) Maybe there's a warehouse in Hong Kong or something. Who knows?

I don't know why it came from HK. I bought it the day it became available. Like you said, maybe a warehouse ... but the math speaks for itself...
HK > KR (Incheon) - 4 hrs
Incheon > my house - 1.5 hrs
Add some time for lunch breaks, customs, etc..
I was actually a little surprised it took 3 days. HK and KR are small and deliveries in both places usually take only a few hours from the time of dispatch to get to the intended location. If the item is in stock and it doesn't show up by the next afternoon people start to call.
PS.. Shipping was free

You can get them. This discussion is about how and how quickly. Osan AB and most posts in Korea aren't really "Korea". If you've lived on one you'll understand that.
Samsung, what does that have anything to do with Nexus 5?
And Google is, the last time I checked, an American company.
So China got the iPhone first? Because most of it is made by Foxconn.
Yes, LGE is a Korean company but I think you don't understand the way global trade works.
To the OP, try through the Korean Play store first. I have a Korean bank account and cc so it was easy for me. If not try connecting to Play via a VPN. See if you can have it delivered to an APO FPO or DPO.

Did you buy it off of English Play store? It takes 3 - 4 weeks there anyways. I can't really find one online anywhere that would send from over here. I can buy a black one and get a skin for it so that wouldn't matter either.

I live in Korea. I bought mine from the Korean Play store. I used my Korean CC. It was delivered to my home in Korea.
So to answer the question, where do you get a Nexus 5 in Korea?
The Korean Play Store.
When you live on Osan AB or any other post in Korea, you don't actually live in Korea. You live in US territory. The Korean Play store only ships to Korea.
You will probably not find it at a KT, SKT or LGE store for the same reasons you don't find Samsung in an Apple store. Granted it's manufactured by LGE, it is a Google phone.

Thanks for the info, i'll try to see if I can find a VPN or proxy to connect to korean playstore. But my problem is, I can't find a VPN via desktop that can connect to Korean play store.
But Osan is not just US territory. It's join force, we have korean territory also. We have to follow all korean laws on base as they do to US laws.

It's not up for sale yet. But you can use an international credit card to pay for it. To get it shipped, you'll have to get someone to ship it to you.

Or you could always wait for "water" products (imported) from the small stores. I was in Hong Kong this summer, the Nexus 7 2013 only took like 1 week from when it was on sale at the US play store. The typical price was around $2200 HKD for the 16 GB version, about a $400 HKD premuim. It'll probably cost that much paying double shipping by using comgateway.com or other mail forwarding service.
It will not cost sgd80 for forwarder...

im also from hk.. i think you should wait until it comes to hk.. the nexus 4 came in december costed 4k hkd which is good enough...
I live in Singapore where anything is subjected to a hike of around 30%-50%. The nexus 4 is sold here at sgd600+ at large retail stores... gpu can cost SGD 300 more

Actually, for Hong Kong users, it might be a really bad idea to buy from the US play store if any of you are planning to use it for 4G services. According to the LTE band thread, the UK version is a much better choice, mainly in that the US (D820) version of the phone will NOT work with 4G services in Hong Kong. Wikipedia says that the Hong Kong networks use bands 3,7, 40, the US version do not support any of these frequency bands, whereas the UK (D821) version supports bands 3 and 7.

Oh wow that's horrible! There have been users here that somehow get it shipped to a courier in a different country then shipped to them. Hopefully one can help you in your situation. I didn't know about the whole situation with Google in China. Best of luck to you!

I live in Shanghai and bought a US version 32GB for 3,000 RMB. I am aware that I won't be able to use LTE in the future, but I wasn't prepared to go for a HK version for near enough the same price and only 16GB.
I bought online from Taobao - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-1856930535.34.1QlftW&id=35735211682 - A reputable seller who throws in a lot of freebies like screen protector, case, extra usb cable etc.
You will need a Chinese bank card to use though.
Otherwise I'm sure there are camera markets in Guangzhou where you can buy imported versions.

I've checked on that site before, but was looking for a physical store in Guangzhou City to go to! Hopefully there's a Hong Kong / ROW version because LTE is on 1800mhz here in New Zealand!

Buy from Japan and get it reshipped through jshoppers Tenso.
Or else wait a few days, Google Play HK is rumoured very very soon. Prices will be around HK$3.2k for 16GB and HK$3.6k for 32GB.

To my knowledge all 16GB phones are China-edition and thus
a) missing international LTE bands
b) come with a chinese OS (ColorOS) instead of CM
Afaik all early contest winners who won the 16GB edition were upgraded to white 64GB editions.

Your knowledge is wrong.
1. The LTE works fine in Europe for the chinese version.
2. You can flash CM11S stock image.
3. There are 16GB international phones for sure.
I bought mine from lenteen.fr , paid via paypal, received 1 week later
But now they ship from EU (mine was shipped from china) and it should take around 48h
If your buying on Gumtree then make sure you pick it up as there are a lot of paypal scammers on there.
I'm selling one of mine on there at the moment and I have had a few people asking if I would post and take paypal even though I offered to deliver(I travel a lot with work) so you just know they would make a paypal claim as soon as they get the phone.
Likewise if your buying on there you get a lot of scammers looking to pull a fast one.
If you are buying a sealed in box phone then you can't check for the yellow screen until you pay for it.

That's a dangerous statement as neither chinese nor international OnePlus work as expected across all of Europe due to the missing LTE band 20.
Furthermore the chinese 1+ is missing LTE bands 4/17/38/40 which equals to 43% of all LTE bands missing. True it will work in most parts of Europe where the international one is working due to Europe's huge reliance on LTE bands 3/7/20.
Additionally the chinese version is missing 3G/HSPA band 4
Conclusion: my point still stands that the chinese version is NOT the same as the intl. connectivity-wise.

I specifically said "comes with", not that CM11S cannot be flashed anyway. Even if it is not very likely, they could break CM11S official updates based on IMEI, serial or other factors if you are not entitled to it. You would still have the "normal" CM11 though.

They changed production schedule way before mass-producing the device - only a few international devices were shipped with 16GB to journalists and maybe very early contest winners. Fact is that you could NEVER buy the 16GB intl edition.
Just bought mine off Gumtree from a local guy who had pre-ordered but bought an HTC M8 in the meantime.
£320 for a SandStone Black 64GB, brand new and unopened - absolute bargain
Hi there. Im from Barcelona, Spain, and I bought my Oneplus One from myefox.es. I bought the white 64GB one, with DHL shipping service (was here in 6 days) and it costed me 313€ total price (around 270 pounds, guessing) Yes, it is the chinese version, but it comes with CM11S installed, unlocked bootloader, stock recovery.
Works perfect, no problem with reception, calls, signal... not eiter in spain nor uk, as I travel to Glasgow quite often so, so far, so great!
I think it is a great deal, so you might want to go and check the website, I think they have one in english too, but this is the one that I bought it from.

Sorry, you're right. No invites for 16gb phones now..
As for CM, since they posted a ROM on their website, it's very unlikely they would ever start doing something you mentioned to the CN versions... Even if the 1% chance came to be, you can always get the latest OTA zip on xda
Gumtree probably best place like I said just meet them at there house or yours exchange details if you feel need. There some good deals ATM

[Q] Buying in China (physically)

Hi,
I'm going to be in China from now and until October and I really want to buy a 1+1, but don't have an invitation.
My question is where I can find this phone on the streets and how much will it cost there?
(I'll be at Shantou, Hong Kong, Guilin, Chengdu and Beijing).
Tnx for the help!
Couldn't you just buy the Chinese OPO online and have it shipped to where you are staying? Since they will ship from China, it won't take too long for it to arrive where you're staying?

If you're already in China I don't think you have to pay for customs? I could be wrong as I'm not familiar with China. I would assume a Chinese phone shop could have them in stock or various carrier mobile stores.

When you say pretty close to the prices we see online, you mean online Oneplus store or sites like DX, eBay..?

Anyone receive their 512GB Micro SD Card from Samsung?

Did they ship it with the phone or separate?
You order it after you bought the phone.
Lähetetty minun SM-N960F laitteesta Tapatalkilla

To receive the card, you're supposed to open the Samsung Members app on your new phone and click the offer banner once it shows up (often takes up to three days). You should have been informed about this when you purchased your phone.
Do you have to buy from Samsung to get it?

What is the Samsung Members app?
I'm just wondering if anyone received it from Samsung yet?
I'm totally lost. Is this a new deal? Is it free? Can't seem to find an answer by Googling it.
Same here can't find any info on the offer
The offer could be for specific market area. For example, here the small print says "in effect in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark (Nordic Approved)". Each market area could have their own lures, depending on the market/sales situation, etc.
AFAIK, that "Samsung Members" app does about the same as "Samsung+" app (the latter is only for US). A good example about how a "global" company does not really understand what "global" means for customers.

This was a couple of weeks ago. Samsung was selling the 512GB card for $49.00 with the purchase of a new Note 9. A week later they were giving the 512GB card for free with the purchase of the Note 9.
I believe these deals are dead now. Seen a couple of people saying they receive a pack of 10 of the 512GB cards when they received their card from this promo.
Just wanted to hear from people that actually received the card from Samsung.

The American one was a few weeks ago and I believe it's history now.
That one guy that says he received 10 of them from Samsung might be legit. I heard to same thing from another seller on eBay saying he also received 10 when he ordered the promo from Samsung with the phone.
I got one but had to pay through the nose for it.

I just wrote to guy at tweeter that is PR from Samsung about this promo in Poland, i would gladly buy 512 GB card just to spare memory of phone and for storage more loseless music but 512GB card is very expensive, as was phone So - fingers crossed for this action. Maybe with little bit of luck - here in Poland - i can also get one card for free?
//edit:
PR from Samsung told me at tweeter that he dont know at what prices and conditions phones was sold at Finland or Norway so he cant tell why in Poland there was no such promotion. So as far as i know this is just very polite way to say "fk you" to all customers who pay sht load amount of cash for their phone. I bought mine (512GB version) in promotion for about $1150 / 1k EUR and this is a lot. I dont know what what they are thinking but im really disappointed. Normally 512GB version now you can buy from Samsung store for 1 256 euro or $1 437. Well...

Typical normal customer prices have been around 1030€ (128GB) and 1300€ (512GB), with pretty much no normal/significant discount campaigns so far; most campaigns have been offering something additional instead of price reduction.
The conditions for getting that campaign are (out of memory) about having to be bought during the campaign, in Nordic countries (and probably also taken into use in those countries), create/have a Samsung account, using the Samsung Members app (i.e. one has to register that account on the phone, too), and can not be combined with other campaigns/discounts.
As I mentioned earlier, the campaigns are likely "market" specific (just like the prices and models are), and are made up and run by Samsung as they see fit in each area. E.g. if they had too much stock of NEE model, put up a nordic campaign for a month, problem solved. Or something like that.
