S7 unlocked

I was wondering about retailers in the US that will sell the S7 unlocked from day 1 that aren't resellers on amazon/ebay. I know BestBuy sells unlocked phones now but I believe some of them are overpriced, and amazon/ebay resellers sometimes aren't trustworthy so I really don't want to deal with that extra hassle. Plus I need to buy it unlocked cause I'd like to try it for a couple weeks and sell it if I don't like it very much.

PhoneArena claims availability from the following:
AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular stores, Best Buy, Car Toys, Sam’s Club, Staples, Target and Walmart
If I'm not mistaken Best Buy is also available in Canada so maybe there. However Best Buy doesn't seem to be offering the S7 unlocked atm.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-smartphones-151359

I don't think best buy Canada sells unlocked phones but I could be wrong... I'm on public mobile (telus) so I'll try to buy from telus or kodoo

I would love an unlocked one in a Canada also, but not holding my breath for that. I just assume Samsung will make us go through the carrier.
Now will Bell let me by one outright? That's what I'm wondering.

EBay is very safe, just buy it from a reputable seller. And you're protected by PayPal.

Yeah, I buy frequently from Ebay. I'm just guessing since it'll be a reseller they'll probably sell it for higher prices than MSRP.

Not necessarily. I bought the G4 and S6 within a few days after launch for the same price and a little less than other sites

I read on Android Authority if I'm not mistaken the Samsung won't be selling unlocked phones directly.

DAMN! $899 from the carriers for the 32GB non-Edge.
I don't know if I can shell out over $1000 (with tax) for a carrier locked phone that gets OS updates 6 months late. Disappointed I won't be getting a new toy.

in canada we dont see unlocked phones because the big three dont like it. like the nexus 5 was sold unlocked for 399 and at fido for 500. (not sure about the price)
we are really screwed right now in canada. exchange rate is so bad. i think the S7 will be 249-299 on contract and the S7 plus 120$ more.

I called the Samsung store at Sherway Gardens in Toronto. The guy said, they DO sell unlocked phones. They are taking pre-orders and you have to go to the store for a deposit. It also comes with the free VR headset!
Certainly good news if you live close to a Samsung store. I wasn't expecting this.
So can I safely assume updates should hit these faster than carrier phones since they are straight from Samsung?

That's really lucky for you. I already asked BB about the unlocked version, they hinted it might be available when the phone is released but definitely not available for preorder meaning unless it's a carrier phone no way to take advantage of the preorder bonus, unfortunately there's no local Samsung store down here. If you do go and preorder the unlocked version at a Samsung Store, mind getting the prices for us please? (s7 and s7 edge).

Had an unlocked Note 5 from the Samsung store. I don't see why they would stop selling unlocked phones.

I did it today.
It's $899 for the 32GB S7, didn't ask about the Edge. It DOES come with the bonus VR with no contract or carrier sign-up nonsense.

Free Gear VR for S8 !

Ok guys, I have information that you may be interested in
"Valid purchase period: 3/30/2017 - 4/20/2017
Get the new Gear VR with Controller for free, plus Oculus content bonus when you pre-order the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+. For a limited time you can add premium headphones by AKG and a 256GB memory card for just $99.*"

How it works (on the FAQ) : http://samsungpromotions.com/support/faq/infinitelyimmersive.html
As said in the FAQ, it begins tomorrow and it seems to work for US resident.
But I guess every country will soon have some of these promotions !

I don't get why this starts at 30.03.... I pre-ordered today (29.03) and so I really won't be able to get this? Maybe I will cancel my order tomorrow and place a new one..

That's what I did, I canceled my order 1 hour ago as soon as I saw this offer coming tomorrow for US resident, hoping it will be the same in Europe !
Anyway, I think the best is to wait for a few days before pre-ordering. It wont change anything if you pre-order today or next week, you'll still get your phone on April 20

But I think there'll still be a way to have your free Gear VR even if you don't cancel your pre-order, otherwise it would be a shame !

The Swedish press release for the S8 even mentioned that the Gear VR will be arriving later this year, and not with the phone.

Too right we are, we pay the same money (more probably) and we get no such promotion in Europe (UK for me) That's extremely annoying. On the plus side we should be able to unlock our bootloaders. It's a very expensive phone. I'll have to pay £50 up front and £52 per month for the S8 Plus if I want more than a few GB of data. Might just buy it instead.

Snapdragon version has been historically boot loader locked and hence very minimal development
Sent from my Nexus 6P

Last year in Germany pre-orders got the VR for free as well. But I haven't heard of any promotion for the S8. I'll just wait a few more days, I guess they'll offer something for sure.

Ok guys, I just had a live chat session with one of Samsung France employee
When I asked him/her why there is no such offer in Europe, he/she said that it might come later, in a few days or in a few weeks, and people who already pre-order the S8 will still be able to enjoy this offer by providing a proof or purchase.
He/she said that I can also wait for the April 28 before purchasing the phone, but that I might not have the advantages I would have had if I had pre-order the phone. (which means there are advantages ^^)
He/she also said that it happens with other Samsung products : The offers comes later but the first buyers can enjoy it anyway.
Maybe he/she had no idea what he/she was talking about, or maybe he/she couldn't reveal any detail, I don't know. But anyway, I think it's safe to pre-order now, and if there is any offer later we'll be able to enjoy it
So the question is WHY do they do that ? why do they wait before revealing such offers ? And I think the answer is quite simple.
I guess they directly offer Gear VR and other items in some markets like the US one or in China because there is more competition between brands. I mean, in the US there are like 40% of iOS phone and the rest is Android. In China, there are many chinese brands selling awesome cheap phones. So Samsung wants to fight in these lands, where there really is competition. In Europe, Android and Samsung dominates everything. So in Europe, people will pre-order the S8 with or without free Gear VR. But in China and USA, free Gear VR and the other advantages are a real selling point. In these countries, they might have more pre-order with this strategy. But in Europe, a free Gear VR will probably not change much the sellings. If they offer a Gear VR later in a few weeks, maybe less than 20% of the prevous buyers will enjoy this offer and get their free Gear VR (in Europe), so Samsung saves money like this ^^
This was BigBen strategy analysis :')

I actually ordered at Carphone Warehouse first, for some unknown reason I was declined by Vodafone even though I have good credit. So I took my upgrade via Three instead. I get no gift and it arrives later than other networks but I couldn't be bothered to go through the hassle again. Lol. 2 min call and done. I'm getting 12GB Data for 55 per month and no upfront payment. S8 Plus. What deal did you get? It's one hell of an expensive phone.

Europe Pre-order Shipping & Waiting room thread

This thread is for Europe pre-orders
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.

Pre-ordered Thread

Hey guys,
Just pre-ordered mine in the UK. Wondering who else has ordered and what specifically brought you to this phone?

I also pulled the trigger on an unlocked P20 Pro from Clove UK, only to quickly cancel my preorder. The issue for me is whether the unlocked UK variant will support T-Mobile's VOLTE in North America. Once I confirm this, I'll go ahead and buy the phone.

I want to - but I haven't seen the gradient color for PO anywhere. Have you all?

For UK guys and gals, I don't know that clove will get you the Bose headphones on pre order. I couldn't see it on the clove website anyway. I've ordered mine from Carphone Warehouse for that reason.
I couldn't see if it was duel aim or single SIM if I'm honest.
Edit: whilst it doesn't say if it's the duel SIM variant on Carphone Warehouse, it does say there is an SD card slot which I believe is only on the duel SIM variant as a hybrid duel SIM. Alternatively you could order from elsewhere and get the duel SIM variant?

Too bad Carphone doesn't ship to the US

Yeah I would have preferred the twilight version. It is available on the Huawei website but they are asking another £50 for it. Unless I could find it else where at £799 with the Bose headphones then I'm going to stick with black...

Do we know if the single SIM variant will have the ability for SD cards? If not, I guess the Carphone Warehouse site is incorrect.
It is showing that this phone is running on Android 8.0 rather than 8.1 so it's already got something else wrong...

I'm new to the Huawei scene, how are they will releasing kernel sources in a timely manner and are there many Devs of on previous Huawei devices (to get a feel of what development might be like). I guess treble will improve things as well in that area.

just pre-ordered (netherlands)
Was ready to pull the trigger on a mate 10 pro, but this came out. Why? I really want the monochrome camera, and this has _more camera_... Also - black. That blue/purple isn't available, otherwise I'd have ordered it.

As rav101 said I’m new to Huawei I’ve been with HTC seemingly since time began. A strong Dev community is a big plus sell for me.
I’d have dismissed the P20 Pro due to lack of headphone jack and looked at the Samsung S9 or wait to see what
One Plus 6 has to offer but the free Bose headphone’s for pre-orders cancels out my lack of jack phobia as they are the best wireless noise cancelling headphones around. Cetainly sweetens the deal.
I’m looking at pre-ordering via mobiles.co.uk as they seem to offer the best contract deals: 02 – 15GB, £38 a month and £49 for phone.
For those looking to pre-order, use on of these approved retailers for the free headphones!: https://huaweipromo.co.uk/gb/en/pages/p20bose/qualifying-retailers

Preordered mine via Mobiles.co.uk
Includes the headphones as well and works out less than RRP if cashbacks pay but also includes a 4GB/24 month contract with Vodafone. Total price at £750 including contract after cashback, £792 if it doesn't pay out.
£240 upfront and then £23 a month.

To clarify , none of the models have support for micro sd cards. None. Unfortunately, many website and retailers have incorrect info. You either buy a single Nano sim or dual nano sim version.
In the UK, you can pre order a dual sim version from Three UK. As far as I know , they nabbed an exclusive on this.
To see list of qualifying retailers in the UK for the Bose Headphones look here https://huaweipromo.co.uk/gb/en/pages/p20bose/qualifying-retailers

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.

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.

Over here the campaign continues to the end of the year. But, I can't give feedback on receiving a card, as I bought my phone one month before the campaign even started (tough luck for me).

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 have a 256 gb just hate that pre-ordering a phone doesn't do you any good anymore. I would rather have 512 gb sdcard then the headphones I got lol

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.
