Hi Everyone,
I would like to buy a Note Edge very soon but i wanted to ask which variant should I get - I do plan on rooting the device asap and flashing various themes so I want the most compatible variant for this. Currently I am now in Australia and the SM-N915G are very much available everywhere, however I did notice slightly more development for the SM-N915FY (EU version) will there be incompatibility between the G & Y versions?
Thanks.

first, NO n915F(Y) rom is not compatible with N915G.
i own an SM-N915G (snapdragon) which i love. as you noticed yourself, there are no custom ROMs for this variant. BUT hey who needs a custom rom when there is Xposed? i customize every thing with it. pretty much all the things that i love about the root is in Xposed.
My friend owns the 915F (which is compatible with 915FY), and he's got the same stuff i got (no custom Rom, only Xposed).
bottom line, i suggest N915G for you because it's Australian. and it's Snapdragon which i like more.
and the official Lollipop is already available for N915G too. :good: :good: it's smooth as hell
As mentioned above, its best to get the variant that is usable in your region for compatibility and service purposes.
I have the SM-N915G model but the Note Edge isn't sold in my country (at least not yet).
If I ever need repairs or service done to my Note Edge, all I need to do is fly to Singapore where I bought the phone from.
And the bonus part, the SM-N915G has an official Lollipop update.
so the sm-n915fy is an octacore?
will it work with lte att on USA?
No F(Y) it's SD-805
Essentially Samsung got sick of people buying grey import phones for cheaper from different regions and instead now make different models WITH THE SAME HARDWARE for different regions.
Unfortunately, you can't flash the ROMs of a different region...
Looks like Sammy is going the way of Apple.... Not so Dev friendly anymore if the ROM for 1 region can't be used on the same hardware but a different model number (region) device...
I can only speak of the FY variant. I bought it in Germany and so far very satisfied. The OS is really fluid, never experienced a hiccup so far, but I dont use facebook or twitter but all other messaging apps are there (z.B whatsapp, viber, skype and fring )with notifications turned on.
I get between 3,5-4 hours SOT depending on LTE Usage.
I'm still on kitkat and don't mind lollipop anyways cause I had the LG G3 before this handset and tried it already last year and can say that ART wasn't that drastic change as Android Hyped it. so I'm waiting for a stable lollipop.
Hope I helped
I live in the U.S. and bought a SM-N915T unlocked using AT&T and so far it's working out well.
I agree with staying with phones for your region. I have read that in the U.S. that you can use a F, FY, or G version unlocked but you may not get 4G LTE and you have to use a SIM card for overseas.
I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S6 from online and to use in Australia, however I cannot find any of the Australian versions (SM-G920I), so I am considering purchasing the global model instead (SM-G920F).
I am quite technologically illiterate when it comes to networks/frequencies/bands etc, so I'm hoping someone can tell me if the global version will be compatible with the particularly the Telstra network in Australia?
Thanks!!
Hey, i'm in the same boat as you too! However I did find the G920I online, albeit a bit too late as I've already purchased the G920F and it's on it's way.
Her'es the link to the G920I

Hey guys,
For the one's who own an AT&T S7 Edge and are interested in the unrealeased Nougat update, please look at this thread. This is only for the AT&T model, not for international or other models.
As I created that forum in the AT&T S7's forum, I tought it was a good idea to let you guys in this forum know, as it will not appear in this forum.
I only know how to find updates on an AT&T phone, so for users of a Verizon, Vodafone, Sprint, T-Mobile or other providers phone, sorry I can't help you, you have to search for other threads about updates, sorry. But I hope I can help AT&T users.
Hi, i got an old samsung galaxy s4 and now i want to buy a used S7.... im in canada and i see that there is no way to install ROMS on canadian model so i will buy it from a USA seller because anyway i never activate my cellphone... its only for the wifi and magicjack....
So the question is.. wich model of Galaxy S7 got the more DEV option with different ROMS in this website... i want to have a lot of choice like i had with my galaxy s4
