Looking to switch to the Tmo Canadian variant to achieve root and use on US T-mo. What is the model number (G920XX?) Where is the best place to buy it out-right?

You can also find the same device on Videotron.

I pre-ordered the Galaxy S7 Sprint variant, black. Mint condition and network unlocked.
What's the best price range I'd be looking if I were to sell?
And what's currently the best international price/offer that's network unlocked?
Edit: after further reading, would it even be worth switching to an international model? From my understanding, roms are very uncommon for exynos
I'm considering buying an S7.
My network is AT&T.
There is the model number SM-G930A and now unlocked, which I think was originally made as locked for the AT&T network.
And there us the SM-G930U, which I think was made as unlocked for any network.
Is there an advantage to getting one model # over the other?
Looking at purchasing an S8+ second hand. How's the band support work across carrier versions? It's a smg955uzvv, which is a Vz model. Is it possible to flash the unlocked or T-Mobile firmware and if so will that activate all of the respective bands?

They are nearly world wide universal. If its network unlocked. You can flash the tmobile so you have their apps. Or flash the unbranded csc files to make it bloat free. The newer samsungs are awesome with compatibility
If I were to buy the international variant from gearbest, what is the different from buying US model from the official OnePlus US website. I'm in the USA. Is it the same model actually? Less band support for TMobile? Just wondering bc there might be a better deal there
Thanks

No warranty.
It is the same model but not the same variant.
It has slightly different hardware.
Usually, you get a Chinese model flashed with OxygenOS. (Chinese come with HydrogenOS).
It will not be the GM1917 and some bands will be missing.
Not sure which ones, but if you had Verizon, it may or may not work.
Unless you're saving mega bucks (which I doubt) stick with the USA site for OnePlus for warranty issues should they arise. Also, as mentioned, this way you will be sure to get all the LTE bands you may need.
I live in the USA and use TMobile mvno(mint mobile) but don't want to deal with switching to international rom to flash custom ROMs. What model number do I need to buy?
I use t-mobile MVNO (Mint) in the USA and I have model GM1917. Not rooted and have absolutely no issues with Mint mobile.

GM1917 is the North America unlocked.
It's what I use with dual SIM on Verizon and T-Mobile.
No issues.
Also using the unlocked GM1917 on T-Mobile, I've rooted it, and it's an excellent device!
