I am in Phnom Penh for a few days, then going to Angkor Wat area and then Thailand for a month. Several stores have the 09 version of the Mate 7 for $470 including the Huawei owned stores. It is a nice phone, feels really light for its size. I wonder about buying it or waiting for the preferred gold version since it has more ram and memory. Is there any chance that the gold version will not have a T Mobile compatible version? Plus the gold version will be even more expensive, is it worth paying even a higher price for that extra ram? I do not have a clear picture as to weather the Mate 7 is available in Thailand and what the price would be.. By the time I leave Thailand in mid Dec the gold one might be available but will I find the right model that is USA compatible? If you ever have been to Bangkok you know the MBK shopping mall has one floor with seemingly HUNDREDS of cell phone dealers!! Bangkok also sells a lot of Apple and Samsung, etc China knockoffs so you have to be careful who you buy from. My wife is using the Note 3 knockoff I bought here last year, works great here in Asia but only gets T Mobile edge in the USA. I was told today that the Mate 7 has only been available in Cambodia for 5 days.
Any thoughts appreciated. The maximum screen size to body ratio is pretty damn appealing, the other guys are going to have to play catch-up.

Dude if you can get it at that price inbound defo buy it. Here in the UK I won't even be able to get it from official retail shops probably ever. Lucky man.
I just bought the 09 version from one of the retail shop in Phnom Penh at USD449. Love it much

amazone.co.uk got it for 420 euro.
When these hits retail stores, I probably will have to pay around 450 euro, mybe even more (they usualy overprice).
499 @ ditech, austria, vienna on 4.4
i think i will fall to 450 when they are able to supply enough units to satisfy demand. i bought mine despite of the higher price because i fear(ed) that the rumored production halt of the s4 processor in march will cause supply problems for 1-2 month ...

Thats £420, which equals ~510€, it's not 420€
I paid £428 for mine including shipping from Clove. It's not the lowest UK price, but there is not much difference at the moment, and their customer service when I bought my Desire from them in 2010 and in the few days leading up to my purchase was good enough that I decided it was worth giving them my business again.
In Italy costs around 600 euros (insane price :O)
So I'm also looking for cheaper units in Europe
I am wondering what the estimated price will be for this phone in the US with upgrade. I have to start setting aside money for the end of the month.
Today 489 Euros in a retail store, while a lot of mail order retailers are a bit higher still here in Germany.
Just nursing it to an 12h initial charge before starting to play around with it...
Hello folks.
Sadly yesterday evening I had my beloved and in pristine condition Nexus 6 stolen when getting into the metro.
Phone is already off and no location available in find my Android. I know it is now gone anyways, nothing I can do about it.
I am temporary living in Mexico and here technology comes at a very high cost, approximately 30%+ of prices in US or EU. Also smartphones in general even when getting aged they seems to keep a very high price. For instance a new Nexus 6 32Gb would cost me from 9000 to 12000 Mexican pesos, which is equal to $450 to $650 USD.
Also I don't really trust on getting used stuff in this country. Lots of stolen or partially functional products.
My available and maximum budget right now is 5500 Mexican pesos which is equivalent to roughly $280 USD. The options aren't many really, plus I want a device that is community supported. From what I have seen so far this amount can get me either a Nexus 5X or a Moto G4 Plus. Which of the two would you guys recommend? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Pietro
I maybe the only one here and sound rather spoilt but I was hoping for an gift or accessory for pre-orders like a few of us.
With the S7 it was the GearVR and last year they promoted the AKG earphones with the S8 (ok, they came with all of them). It also came in a lovely big Samsung box.
Even though it hasn't stopped me upgrading I feel they missed a trick here by creating more buzz on pre-orders.
we get a year of bein connect for free but i have a theory. Samsung lowered prices in some countries and priced higher on others, to compensate they offered freebies to less developped countries like mine (Morocco). To me looks like the richer countries are paying for poorer countries well except in the US. The other problem is, just from browsing the s9/s9+ forums i can see that the sales will be much lower, as we had hundredrs of posts on the s8/s8+ fourms during the preorder period vs less than 100 here. So Samsung should give more freebies in few weeks to boost sales
True lads, most countries gettin free wireless chargers etc, dex would be nice to get as a freebie, ahh.. i bet there'll be some freebies like a month after or so
In Saudi Arabia the pre-order is for th 256 GB varient only and the freebies are : (Selfie Stick;Car Charger;AKG wireless Speaker;Wireless Charging Stand)*
yep not happy no freebies on offer in the uk!!!
ok through a carrier we get the AKG y50BT, a 128gb sd card and 1year bein sport for free
Here in Italy S9+ is sold at 999 Eur. A little too much for my taste, They offer a buyback for used phones that in most cases is enough fair. For example S7 Edge is rated 350 Eur, S8+ 450, iphone 6 200 Eur. Sadly being patient and waiting for next months rebates wil be possible to buy the S9+ around 800 Eur and sell These phones for a little less thanwhat Samsung offers with more convenience.

I also noticed this price in Italy and asked the same question but no, it's the same version with 64gb storage. Every Amazon in Europe charge 950€ except Amazon.it.
S9+ 64GB 900$ here in India and with a very good exchange offer that can get you even more discount

Rightly said. I have pre-booked one by availing card, exchange and EMI discounts. I have opted for 18 months interest free EMI which is fantastic. As mentioned above the freebies only add to the cost of the overall price of the product which I am not that keen.
In Indonesia just get TUMI Case for all preorder S9/S9+
Not only are there no freebies but they had no discount bundles for preorders like they do for the released ones now. Kinda crappy Samsung .
I already have a VR, AKG headphones, and a 256gb EVO card from prior purchases. It'd be nice, but this time I just needed the phone.

In Czech Rep you wont get freebies but you can handle your old phone to get 100€ discount + price of your old phone if it had any value. Think its much better than freebies, which you wont usually use...
I got a Harman Kardon Onyx Mini for pre-ordering my S9+. Price here for 128GB is MYR3999 ~ USD 1022.
Hi, I am thinking about selling my brand new unopened honor note 10. My brother in law already purchased this for me from Hong Kong, waiting for it's arrival in Canada. As keen as I was , I don't think I want a phone that doesn't support band 4 in Canada. The phone is brand new and will be unopened. It will probably arrive in a week or two as he is currently overseas but the phone has already been purchased.
I will be willing to part with it for 750 CAD. On top of that, I ordered a case for it (cost me almost 20 dollars) which I can sell for 15 CAD.
Let me know if you are interested and we can get the conversation going. I am in the Toronto, Mississauga area.
I got one from China for 580 all in to Toronto Canada. If you still have it I can off

I got one from China for 580 all in (Shipping and customs)to Toronto Canada. If you still have it I can offEr 550 if you decide not to keep it and it’s still unopened. My brother in law wants the same phone since I showed him mine. It’s a great device bit BIG
In Geekbuying is 6/128GB version in super discount price 459usd!!! Must be used coupon HPTAGPCP... ???
Antonie knows what model is it? Friday Will have it. Anny issues with ee UK? I live in another country and Will use it with Orange. Paid full unlocked without plan. Almost 1100£ pounds... Does anyone know if it is korean or european version?
How did you buy the ee version I thought it was only sold on contract?
It's the single sim version. No Carrie blot, only my EE app which can be uninstalled.
Should come with the dual screen as my version did.
I'm also looking to buy it outright, but haven't found a way yet.

I live in Romania but I have a friend with business contract with EE. He told me that can help buy it and he keeps the plan. He told me 1100 pounds ... What do you think about this deal?

If you are buying it from EE then it will be the European model with the Dual Screen. £1100 is a lot of money. The Korean version is £613 and I'm tempted by this but it won't be covered by LG UK warranty whereas your V50 from EE is covered within Europe.
I agree it's too much money. I want to keep it but only SIM only. I asked EE if I could buy it they said I have to buy out my contract.
I'll try again as if I return the phone me they will lose money on selling as a refurbished handset.
Hello, guys! What a thriller movie with this v50!
I ditched the ee uk version and bought from ebay - switzerland seller - the korean version. After payment i noticed the seller is from Hong Kong. I will inspect the phone carefully, and if is legit I'll keep it. I was promised 1 year warranty and invoce - it was paid from my company bank account. Waiting for it 2-8 days seems like living in inferno. Paid 840 USD - 747 euro to seller, free shipping to romania. I'll pay 19% VAT customs taxes so a total of 888 euro. No dual screen but thats fine...
The european version has bootloader unlockable, do you know if the korean version has also?
I was looking also on ee uk website and the real price would be from 1700£ pounds in 2 years with best plan, but is sim locked until you pay full contract. Impossible the price. Yes, I admit you have the plan, but here in Romania with 15 euro a month I have a better plan from Orange. 65 GB in 4G+, 5 GB in roaming, speeds are 130mbps, unlimited sms, calls, unlimited youtube, Facebook, instagram etc
I'm glad,
You can find the dual screen on eBay so when your ready to purchase just look there.
Hope you like the phone. I certainly do, still debating in keeping it but it's a great phone. Really like the dual screen as that's one of the reason why I like this so much.

For me, the LG V50 5G is the best phone of 2019 with the best cameras/camera software, nice design on the back/less on the front, best audio quality (v50 standard DAC destroys by a mile other phones dacs, QUAD - DAC is light years ahead, best AMP for headphones, 50 Ohm impedance trick, DTSX, LDAC), best fit for my Tidal Master account, best fit for my sony wh1000m3 headphones, snapdragon 855 mobile platform with 5G modem (IMO sd855 destroys a12 bionic or kirin or exynos), USB C 3.1 with 5gbps speed and HDMI output with power delivery, otg support and probably better display than samsungs s10 line. Indeed I miss G7-G8 form factor, but the v50 is in another league of quality. These are just a few of my reasons... You should KEEP IT!
It might be possible to not pay taxes as the phone was shipped from Manchester - UK. Just tracked it via DHL Express ... I called them and they told me I dont need to pay taxes as it is fro the EU. Now it just remains to verify it is original LG V50! Fingers crossed! :victory:
