Hello boys and girls, we did not have this forum on the S3 and Note 2 so I'm staying one here for all the info about the S4. So we are getting the octa version. Maroc Telecom started taking pre orders and Samsung said they will be selling it by the end of April. Where you getting yours from? No prices available yet but I'm guessing it's in the 7000-7500 Mad range
Swyped from another galaxy
Wrong thread .Delete this post.
Just spoke to Samsung Morocco it's gonna be 6450 Mad or 750 us dollars. It's same price as the gs3

Is the timing of the respective countries releasing the new Gear as haphazard as their software updates.
In particular looking for a UK release date and actual prices in £s not the conversions being quoted.

Pre order in the UK on 29th October for availability for 12th November. S2 will be £249 and classic £50 more.
Good to see a date, although no clear when they ship - still stupid to launch a marketing campaign for something you could not even buy or pre order.

Official information about UK availability
As always no information on the Samsung uk website
More pricing confusion of the good variety though.

Release seems to be late in the UK for this?? You can always order from amazon.de using your same account info... Just a thought.
I am planning on getting one from amazon (US) and use it here in Europe.
Will there be any issues?
It's not like a phone where you have different bands - so I guess it should be no problem. But I also don't want to through 300 bucks out off the window.

The US version runs on a different firmware. Noticable differences are lack of different language support (OK if you're English or Spanish I guess?) and temperature is displayed in F and not C. Firmware updates may also be an issue...
Thanks.
Only English wouldn't be a problem. Fahrenheit could get annoying.
Is there a way to change firmware? Why should updates be an issue (US are always the first to get it)?
Cool thanks for the tip.

I imported one from amazon.com. Got here real quick and actually works out more expensive then what you will be paying in the UK. I can confirm that asking for weather reports always brings back results in Fahrenheit. One side note S-voice is terrible compared to android wear voice search.

I just bought a Gear S2 classic from Clove UK. About £20 more than Samsung online but Samsung won't dispatch for another fortnight. I like the watch but I think I will return it and carry on using my Gear S.

Any info on delivery of your Classic?
I ordered the Classic via Samsung with a voucher SAMUK5 for 5% off and possibly Quidco 8% - says card would not be billed until they confirm shipment but already charged my card !!!
Benefit of going Samsung direct is if it really is as crap as I think then it will be getting returned.

Excited as my one due to arrive tomorrow.
Anyone seen the new LG Urbane specifications it has LTE calling by all account to become a Google feature.
Well done Samsung once again you cooked up.
Hey guys,
I think we need our own thread to discuss about our preorders and future development related to our model.
so, I already preorder mine from Koodo and they are saying it should ship after March 17th. But, I'm hopping i receive it by march 11th. So, Those that made a preorder, what carrier and when will you be getting it?
Pre-order at Authorized Bell dealer. Put $50 deposit and will be in store pickup. Haven't heard any news/update with regards to when I will get my phone. Hoping for March 11 or earlier! How come Koodo shipping March 17th? Really disappointed that only black available for pre-order!
Pre-ordered with Fido. My position in line is 139. Down from 142 a few days ago.
If any Fido insider can shed some info on when it'll arrive for us, that would be greatly appreciated.
Pre-ordered at Samsung store. Unlocked and gold color. They told me black color will be available on Mar 11, ETA for gold and silver is Mar 28.
Pre-ordered my S7 Edge from Telus on their website, had to pay the full 500$ immediately to complete the order .. They sent me a link to a webpage with a link to follow to see where is our order status and it keeps telling that it is in processing and will be ship by march 11 .. And only black color is available for pre-order too from Telus :crying:
Pre-ordered from Rogers on Feb 24th. I'm 676th in line.
Could be a loooong wait. I remember getting a call from Rogers about picking up my pre-ordered Note5 about 9 days after I had walked into a store and bought one already. My guess is that Rogers (and the other carriers) won't start shipping until the 11th, then won't be in any hurry to get them to us pre-orderers.
That being said, a free Gear VR is worth an extra week or so of waiting.

I pre-ordered from Bell...got a call this morning to verify my details. The tracking system suggests it'll be in the store within 1-3 business days.
Whether or not they'll actually let me have it that soon remains to be seen, but I sure hope so!
Pre-ordered from Rogers on February 23rd, 47th in line. Status still says open. Hopefully I'll have it by the 11th. You just never know with Rogers.

I preordered the S7 Flat from the Samsung Experience Store (Sherway Gardens).
After much thought, I ended up calling them and switching my order to the edge.
I'm kind of nervous about the screen getting scratched though since its so exposed... There isn't that many screen protectors out either on Amazon (CA)

Yes it should be. I pre ordered mine in Samsung store, the staffs told me that it will be unlocked. They did not even ask me which carrier I'm on, so I guess it is unlocked for sure. And they have silver and gold, but these will be available later this month (ETA is Mar 28)

There is probably like only 3-4 locations in all of Canada.
It's pretty cool though, you get a free Gear VR and 128 GB MicroSD card when you pre-order, plus its unlocked if you buy it out.

As far as I'm aware, the LTE version will be available with the non-LTE on the same day here in the US.

According to this, there are two versions of the Frontier, one with and one without LTE:
http://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8307&idPhone2=8308
It's very confusing. I've preordered too but can see nothing on the Samsung UK website to confirm whether their Frontiers are LTE models.
Hi guys, look at this:
http://es.t-mobile.com/internet-devices/samsung-gear-s3-frontier.html
Thats the real 4G frontier, I think samsung its scamming his costumers not telling that the version they are buying isnt 4G. The 4G LTE version it will be distributed by mobile companies not by classic retailers because needs E-sim. I really think samsung is scamming his costumers, people is buying frontier thinking its 4G and isnt!!!

I suspect so, if it is the case then i may return the watch. But to be honest being the the UK they never offered the S2 LTE version or others.
I doubt i will use the feature, moreso as it kills battery and i always carry my mobile.

Amazon pre-orders to ship Sun Dec. 6
http://tinyurl.com/jd3mfns
Pre-ordered mine on Amazon this morning, but it already disappeared from existence on Amazon.com. Even when I click on my email order confirmation, I get taken to a "Sorry, we couldn't find that page" page. (And the "Buy it again" button takes gives me an "unavailable" pop-up)
Also interesting, supposedly mine will be delivered Wednesday the 9th, but then it says, "Release date: Tuesday, January 31st, 2017"?! Fingers crossed...

Ya, that whole disappearing thing and the 31st release date kind of makes me nervous. I emailed Amazon, but haven't heard back yet.
They've changed their minds. Reports now say everyone's getting it on Nov. 18 - but my Amazon order now says Feb 2, 2017!! Also, odd that it's going to be $350 everywhere else, but $382 on Amazon?! Guess I'll be canceling that order...
(They did send me an "order update" email saying I could refuse it or return it if it comes too late. Yeah, I HOPE to have one before February!)
Ordered mine from AT&T for $249 with 2 yr contract. To be delivered 11/18.

Just ordered 64gb Orchid Gray S8. Decided on S8 rather than S8+ I figured a 5.7" screen was big enough!
This is my first ever Samsung phone, coming from OnePlus 3T. Really like the screens they are amazing.
Would be interested to know more about the processor and if bootloader will be unlockable like US versions. Actually with the 3T I just kept it locked and stock as well.
The US versions will be unlockable? What's your source on that? Word has been they will continue to lock all North American Snapdragons as has been their recent policy. The international on the other hand has remained unlockable and the conventional wisdom is it will remain so for the time being.
Where did you buy?
For the US version, I was looking at threads here, but admit did not go into a lot of detail in them. I bought directly from Samsung. I dislike carphone warehouse I had a pre-order for an HTC 10 with them, decided to cancel. What they didn't tell me at time of canceling was rather than getting automatically re-funded I got credit instead. I was just inside the window to get the money charged back to my account.
Also decided to go for the orchid grey as it looked amazing as well!
I'll wait three months or four. Then i might get the S8!
I was told by many stores that you can test the S8 and S8+ yourself beginning tomorrow 31.03.2017.
Sadly no promotions for us in Europe at all. Asked many stores across Germany, Switzerland, Austria as well as UK.

Ordered both from Samsung shop UK (wasn't sure what size I wanted) but noticed CPW in the uk were offering a free Bluetooth speaker with pre orders (Don't need one but it's free, and more than samsung are offering)
So decided to cancel both my samsung pre orders and just ordered the S8 from CPW with free gift.

I have gone for the S8+ through O2 and you get a free speaker with them. Went into their store today and had a play on the S8 and S8+. Glad I have gone for the latter as it isn't as big as I feared. The size is actually really nice and both models look even more stunning in person.
