Galaxy S4 Available in Canada(Bell) on May 3rd

Spoke to a manager today at the Bell store.
They told me they are very sure the phone will be coming to Bell stores on May 3rd. Pricing was not 100% positive but is expected to be around $650 no contact, which is almost identical to the $640 projected for the USA.
(old news) You can pre-order the phone for 50 dollars from most of the various carriers. This is a DOWN PAYMENT.
Just figured I would share since it seems Canada isn't getting too much love Looking forward to the launch
PS. I looked at the Xperia ZL while I was there and it was a very nice phone, I don't get what all the screen fuss is about.

AFAIK Virgin Mobile Canada is getting it on April 26th. I would expect Bell to get it on the same day.

If it's like last year, the phone will be $50.00 cheaper @ Virgin. So get your phone from them if you are with Bell.

Ah, I must have missed that post, thanks. None of the other threads here on XDA have mentioned it.
PS. I did tilt the screen, it wasn't that bad IMO.

Do you have any information about the 32Gb version? Phone reservation is only available for the 16Gb model...

no scheduler about 32gb version

Hmm, Pre-Orders are open now, phoned several bell stores that confirmed they will have them in stock on April 27th.
It will be 699.95 Off contract or 199.95 on a 3 year contract or upgrade.
I cant post links but the infos on bells website

They will only be in stock for those with all the pre - order paperwork AND picture lD. And you must pick up the preorder before May 3. And you must prepay the entire amount. Can't wait!

Perhaps it depends on whether it's a Bell Store or another retailer. My receipt is very specific and the service person said for the last pre-order they got only exact numbers.

Is it available right now though? I was supposed to get mine Saturday. Got a call and $50 credit Friday and a text Saturday dating I could pick up in 2 days so I'm going Monday after work.

Best Buy Pre-orders

who else did a best buy pre-order? i was going to do in store pickup, but then i saw a best buy faq page saying
"Q: I never received a notification that my Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge is ready to be picked up, even though I pre-ordered it?
A: If you haven't received notification that your Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge is ready to be picked up it means the store didn't receive enough of the model you pre-ordered to fulfill you pre-order at this time, or they haven't physically reserved your pre-order yet with the inventory they did receive."
and I def didn't wanna chance that..knowing my luck, they wouldn't get it. so i just did shipping.
it says it'll arrive BY release date of march 11th...anyone ever have any experience getting a best buy order before? i never used them for shipping before, so I'm wondering if i'll definitely get it ON march 11th.
pumped, though! played with one at best buy today and it's a nice phone. have my Moto X up for sale (since I use my note 4 so much more than the X) so i'm excited to get it!

I did bb pre order for an iPhone and hopefully Sammy is better. All stores get an allotment. Some for preorder and some walkin.
I cancelled and went to sprint that time. Some preorders were not filled for 5-7 weeks! Again that was an iPhone thing, hopefully Sammy sends out plenty!

Well the reason they didn't get a notification that it's ready to pick up is that it's not been released yet...

I'm also interested to know..if you buy online and ship to your home address will it be shipped on or before 11th? Or will it be after this date?

I mean when you click "when will I get it?" or whatever, it says on release date, 3/11 so I'm guessing they ship out prior..

Response from bestbuy cs said the 11th or the day after is *expected*. They dont know for sure or they cannot say, but most likely they just don't know at the rep level.
---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------
In the past, now get this, they have said the get it by date is not when you get it, but when they get it

I don't know if it means much, but T-mobile has started shipping pre-orders. Mine is scheduled for UPS Next Day Air delivery tomorrow. They don't have to wait to ship, but they won't give you a date before the release date until they actually ship it.

see, that's absolute bs. if you go to best buy right now on the website and check the phone, and clikc "see when you can get it" for shipping, it says:
Get it by:
Release Date, Fri, Mar 11 - FREE
Standard
See final shipping costs in checkout.
so that's plain english stating you WILL get it by release date, correct?
day after won't happen since it's saturday and they definitely aren't doing saturday shipping.
this is just annoying because it needs a signature they claim, so i need to know if i should take off that day or not, ya know?
*edit* FWIW, not that reps know too much, but i did the chat and this was the transcript:
Thank you for choosing Best Buy, my name is Abraham. How may I assist you today?
28-Feb 03:39 PM
good afternoon, i've preordered a galaxy s7 for verizon, and the release date is march 11th. now, when you goto the device page and click "see what you can get it" it states you will have it on release date, march 11th.
28-Feb 03:40 PM
is this confirmed?
28-Feb 03:41 PM
Good afternoon! That is great that you pre-ordered the new Galaxy S7!
I'd be more than happy to assist you with your questions. Yes, you will be able to receive it on the 11th of March.
28-Feb 03:42 PM
perfect, so since signature is required, i may have to take off that day as i don't know what time it will come
28-Feb 03:42 PM
so it's 100% safe to say that on march 11th, UPS will deliver my S7?
28-Feb 03:42 PM
That is correct, you will get on the release date.
28-Feb 03:43 PM
perfect! thanks for your help today, abraham
so who knows. maybe we'll be lucky!

The Note 5 was the first phone Verizon ever shipped early to most people.Got mine a week early.Hope that was the start of a trend of early shipping by them.

I preordered, then a day later canceled. I wanted the free VR wear and the SD card but I didn't want to get roped into the stupid AT&T's 2 year $26 a month deal

Why didn't you just order the AT&T "unactivated" S7? It still comes with the VR and SD card.

Hmm not sure I saw that. Must have missed it. Is that where you pay upfront full price? I think ultimately I want to see what the models are like when they come out. I currently have tmobile s5 with AT&T sim. May want to buy another tmobile if they're unlocked bootloader. The whole SIM locked phone idea has me wondering though. Ie first sim installed, locks phone to carrier.

Preordered mine thru bestbuy.com hopefully they ship early. T-Mobile is doing so. So anxious!

Best Buy Mobile employee here, the way pre orders are usually explained are that when you pre-order, there is a chance you won't get it on launch day but you WILL get it before someone that just walks in to buy it without one. I personally haven't seen many stores run out of pre-order stock.
Hope that helps!

I'm 99% sure (at least in my store) you can only do in store pick-up if pre-ordering in store. Haven't heard otherwise about online pre-ordering.
EDIT: The info I posted is for if you are doing it through a contract/installment billing. I think if you get an unlocked or T-Mobile (we don't carry T-Mobile contracted phones in most stores), it's different.

thanks for the insight. I didn't pre-order in store, though. I did online. I was contemplating in store pickup until I read that there's a chance they may not have stock for all pre-orders... so i just did shipping. so any idea whether buying full price and getting it shipped should be here early? the chat rep said we'll have it the 11th for sure.

I did the same as you. Paid full price and selected to have it shipped to my house. AT&T version. I went Best Buy over AT&T because Best Buy is typically better about returns and don't charge you any fee, Best Buy offered a free 64 GB microSD card, Best Buy is actually sending out the Gear VRs instead of just sending you a code to get one from Samsung, and finally, I had a $20 Best Buy gift card that I need to use lol. Best Buy is notorious for botching pre-orders, so I'll just be happy if we get it on or by the 11th. I doubt we'll get it early.

Looks like BestBuy USA is sold out. You can't pre order from there anymore. The Canadian site still shows it as available though.

If it cost $350 for the non LTE Frontier, that means it may cost $450 for the cellular enabled version. Guess we'll have to wait for the carriers to put up their preorder page.

The Best Buy Canada site shows a release date of November 18. Probably safe to expect that will be the US release date, too.

Right now I have a 3G AT&T Gear S2. I am torn if I am going to keep non LTE Gear S3 or order one from AT&T when it becomes available. I feel that numbersync for calls doesn't work all time. Plus very rarely do I go out without my phone. I am not really sure if there is any great benifit to have the LTE version so I am up in the air

Tizen Experts posted on Twitter that Best Buy stopped the pre order because they ran out of stock.
Now, the good news is that Best Buy in the USA has started offering the next Tizen smartwatch for $349.99, that is for both the Gear S3 Classic and also the Gear S3 Frontier. We were overjoyed with this news as our American cousins do not like being left out when it comes to device launches. At that time the delivery date was rumoured to be around mid-November but it hadn’t been officially confirmed. Unfortunately all celebrations eventually have to come to an end and Best Buy now reports that the S3 has ran out of stock.

Retailer Shipping Thread

So if you ordered directly from Essential your phone is most likely shipping(or has shipped) soon, but what about us who have ordered through other retailers?
I'm making this thread specifically for everyone else, to avoid cluttering the shipment thread.
So far I have not yet gotten mine. Sprint has given me different numbers, from will ship from the 31st as it says on my order status page, to it will be shipping from the 8th. Retail stores, corporate stores all have received different information, but the general consensus is shipping will be delayed. Pre-Ordering in store will be avaliable starting today or tomorrow depending on your store.

Yeah, I don't even have My Sprint loaded on it, which it was supposed to have.

Yeah it seems you can choose to leave it off your phone. Which is great.

Any Canadians buy from the Google Store and receive it yet?

I ordered my 4 XL the moment they went up on the store on the 15th. Credit card was charged immediately. Got an email on the 21st that my phone was "dispatched" and it said it was expected to arrive by the 24th. This lines up with Canada Post's Expedited Parcel delivery standard.
However, even as of the evening of the 24th, the tracking information shows that Canada Post hasn't even received the phone from Google yet. If I knew it was going to be this slow, I would have just waited until the 24th and walked into any store and bought it there instead. Lesson learned.
Anyone else in the same situation? Or did anybody in Canada get theirs from the Google Store already?

However, even as of the evening of the 24th, the tracking information shows that Canada Post hasn't even received the phone from Google yet. If I knew it was going to be this slow, I would have just waited until the 24th and walked into any store and bought it there instead. Lesson learned.
Anyone else in the same situation? Or did anybody in Canada get theirs from the Google Store already?

I'm getting mine tomorrow (Fri Oct 25) ordered on the 23rd. Got the white XL 64 gig. You'll probably get it tomorrow. There have been times where they don't for some reason scan the packages. Happened to me when I got my Pixel 2 XL.

I'm Canadian (New Brunswick) and ordered right after announcement from Google. Received mine today via Canada Post. Ordered the black 4 XL.

Ordered on the 15 was dispatched on the 22 says it will be delivered on the 25 -28 Edmonton Alberta. From the Google the store..

Ordered on the 15th. DIspatched on the 21st and received on the 22nd. Montreal

Hola

Thanks for the replies, everyone!
I had my order completed and my credit card charged literally 30 seconds after the Pixel 4/XL went up for sale, yet people who ordered later already have theirs. I guess the moral of the story is that the Google Store has no consistency.
Did the phone ship via Canada Post for everyone? Perhaps they used different couriers for different regions. I would have been willing to pay for expedited shipping but there was no such option. It's strange since people ordering from the US Google Store had expediting shipping options.

I got mine today. Bought it on the pre-order and it arrived today via Canada Post.
I'm in Vancouver BC.

IS bootloader unlocked?

Had mine since the 22nd

I pre-ordered the same day of the event and received mine on Tuesday. In Ontario.

yes , got mine on 23 and rooted already!

Canada Post came and went this morning, no delivery. Tracking status hasn't changed, still hasn't been picked up from the warehouse.
Clearly somebody messed up. With a purchase of this price, you would think that more care would be taken to ensure that it is shipped out on time and not left sitting in some warehouse for days or potentially weeks.
Well, I won't be buying anything from the Google Store ever again. I'm going to go pick up a 4 XL locally this morning and cancel my Google Store shipment. Based on the current level of incompetence, I imagine they will give me a lot of trouble getting my money back too.

Mine has arrived and processed at Edmonton should be here this afternoon.

Decided to contact Google chat support and the rep told me she needs to transfer me to the shipping team as it seems there is an issue with the device being sent to Canada Post.
Had me waiting nearly an hour to be transferred before I just gave up on waiting.
Leaning towards just cancelling my order and buying the phone from a local best buy or something but I really would love to have that $150 credit for pre-ordering. I also had $50 credit from before so it was helping a bit with the price.
Going to try giving them a call instead of chat and see what happens. Man this sucks, was really hoping to set this 4XL up over the weekend.

Isn't it sickening? There is just no excuse for that kind of incompetence, especially from such a massive company.

What version of the phone did you order? I ordered a white 128 GB XL and it arrived yesterday via Canada Post for me. I'm in Nova Scotia. I ordered mine similar to you, shortly after it was available for preorder on the 15th.
It's possible other versions of the phone (color/storage) did not ship as fast.

Yeah definitely! Haven't had a chance to give them a call just yet but will definitely keep this thread updated with what they say.

I ordered the Just Black 128GB model. Seems like it's the least popular option so I thought it'd arrive sooner than later. Definitely didn't expect for an issue like Canada Post not even receiving the phone :/
