Why isn't the 256GB version available on Flipkart?

I was searching for the same. But couldnt find it.
Luckily, You can find it in samsung store for black version with similar offers. Price is 72. 9K.
So, you can buy there.

It is my personal opinion that 256GB is an overkill. 64GB and above should be good. I have been using mobiles in that capacity for quite sometime now and have never run out of space. But if you are an avid video/photo shooter then it may make sense.

Tempered Glass and Case for S9+ in India
I have booked for a S9+ and waiting to lay my hands on it. Any suggestions on the tempered glass and case for the same? Samsung website has listed some accessories (cases) for S9. But looking out for options. Thanks in advance.

On the contrary, I am interested in the 256gb S9+ only! As my 128gb sdcard is almost full with photos and videos, books and docs (work related stuff) and I can't use two sim slots along with the sdcard on my note 8 (which i really need to). I am a bit disappointed in samsung.. they didn't bring the higher memory note 8 to india!

Flipkart offered me a whopping 8.7k for a 2.5 year old oneplus x, with total savings of around 18k. Samsung exchange ain't available at my place. I'll have to stick with the 64gb version. Seems it won't be enough since my i7+ 128gb is almost out of space. Glad Samsung offers a card slot. Another reason is that the versions with higher storage are significantly faster. I've seen that in case of i7+ 128 and 256gb versions.

8.7 for the one plus x, 6k cashback on hdfc and another 3.5k less towards the interest.
It cost me 47k only

Great deal indeed.
For Samsung mobiles you get more exchange rates. I thought of exchanging my current S7. For S7 its 14220 off on exchange. To me, its not a good exchnage rate. Meanwhile, my brother needs a phone. S7 is still a great phone. So, I'm givin this to him. I'll get S9 plus and my brother will get S7. All happies

Flipkart's S9+ deal was too good to miss out. Put in my oneplus 3 for 13k. Paid 46k overall. Can't wait for this beautiful phone!

Case and Screen Protector
Any recommendations? I've ordered a Spigen Neo Hybrid case. Not sure about the screen protector at all!

[Q] What phone has the same size of screen as Galaxy S Relay 4G?

Hi!
I have finally received my Galaxy S Relay 4G ordered from eBay to my country (where I couldn't buy this phone - it's only in US) and I would like to buy a screen protector for it. Sadly, screen protectors for this phone are also not available. I don't want to buy a bigger screen protector and cut it myself, but I think some other models should have the same size of screen as Relay. Maybe you know something? I will check other Samsung phones with 4" at the weekend of course, but maybe some of you have already done such a research :highfive:
Greetings,
linoskoczek
There are dozens of screen protectors that are made specially for Relay:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...relay+4g+screen&_nkw=relay+4g+screen&_sacat=0
You could buy them on Ebay bundled with you phone.
You are a bad web-searcher.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm not living in US. I don't want to pay XX$ for a screen protector. Maybe it's cheap, but I also need to pay for delivery from United States and furthermore, it takes over than 2 weeks to arrive.
I'm also not living in the USA (do you know such country as Belarus?) but I have more than 10 of such protectors. They are not so expensive as you think: I bought mine for 2 or 3 bucks, I didn't remember.
And the shipping was free.
Also these protectors are available on german Ebay (if this region is closer to you) where shipping time is less

True! I didn't know that shipping on German eBay would be even free! I found 6-pack for 2 euro, so it's cheap. Would you recommend any kind (or brand) for me? Here you can find the list of them: http://www.ebay.de/sch/Displayschut...|R40&_nkw=galaxy+s+relay&LH_PrefLoc=2&_sop=15

Amazon offers them for as little as $5 (before shipping). They are designed to fit any model of Galaxy S4, regardless of carrier.

iOcean m6752 ROCK 4G 64bit phone

Hello friends I will like to gather some opinions on new iOcean M6752 "ROCK" 4G phone.
I'm looking to by something like this new phone from iOcean which have impressed me by its specifications. Some time ago (2.5 years ago) I was thinking what to buy and unfortunately I have decided not to buy iOcean X7. That was mistake since aging X7 have been updated to KitKat while the one I have chosen stayed on 4.2.1. I can say only say well done iOcean on your customer care, and my next phone will be definitely from your company.
If I look into iOcean M6752 Rock specifications, I'm unable to find any downsides (at least obvious). For me 5,5" is a bit too big screen, but lately all serious phones (higher level) are in that size. This phone have following specifications:
- New 64bit MediaTek processor 6752 clocked at 1.7 GHz (Cortex A53)
- 3 GB DDR3 RAM good::good::good
- 16 GB internal memory + microSD expansion slot (64 GB)
- 5.5" FHD 1920x1080 IPS OGS display with narrow bezel
- Mali 760 MP2 graphics
- All possible network frequencies 4G/3G/2G
- Decent camera, 14 MPx back and 5 MPx front
- Magnesium middle plate and frame
- 3 GPS modes should make it faster
- 2300 mAh battery
- etc ......
If we look all of this specifications, only real competitor is ZOPO ZP920 but with difference of minimum 80$.
I have managed to find some photos and Antutu Benchmark video at iOcean FB page
The more I look into this phone, more I like it. Very simple design, not too thin (8,6 mm), white front with exchangeable multicolor back cover, etc. Software looks promising, Android 4.4.4 with promised upgrade to 5.0.1 soon. Framework reminds me of Jiayu but with transparent menu, again something like ZOPO did with they mobiles.
This mobile bought me with its simplicity and sophistication, and yet good price for 3GB RAM and Octa Core processor (Cortex A53).
If (when) I get this mobile, I will probably make some software alterations like I did in the past with other mobiles.
Please share your thoughts and info on this wonderful device. I believe it will be one of the best phones in this year.
Hey guys, have been following this phone for some time now. Pre-sale starts at January 26th, first 300 units for just $199, then 100 for $210 and then 100 for $220. After that normal retail price will be $230 which isn't that bad considering the specs. More info here. iOcean M6752 Rock pre-sale
I think I'm going to buy one! If I get it I will write a nice review about it!
Yeah, I think it is great deal for this money.

Just checked their official site and seems like we could pre-order with the cheapest $199.9 for the first round at Antelife, Coolicool and Efox. This is their site http://iocean.cc/

I would reccomend reading the post for the UMi Zero first before ordering from Antelife, seems there have been quite some unsatisfied customers in that topic. See this thread
Not familiar with the other two companies but I think I'll be going with one of them!
Each China seller have good and bad sides, it is question if you are lucky or not. I don't have some good proposal for online store, but usually who have phone on preorder it official store for a producer.

It's the second round of the pre-sale now. Guess they would dispatch when the last round finish.
Just find out a video from YT. Quite clear to take a look at the phone.

I signed up for the preorder on the 26th or 27th of January on efox. On the site it said that shipping will start from 25th February and that it'll be shipped in the order that they were bought.. Efox has a bad backend , kind of buggy. Pre-ordering was a tad difficult due to those bugs, I just hope that shipping won't be as troublesome as the whole ordering process. I'm curious to see if the modding community will have a go at it .

What do I buy next.?

Have owned a tab 2, for a while. Now it's dead and wandering what to buy next. Apparently the tab 3 is not really an upgrade so just wandering what your thoughts are on the best successor to tab 2 please.
I think its the Samsung Galaxy tab S. A high end tablet with one of the most beautiful displays ever and a sturdy build too. Hope I helped
I just "upgraded" to an older note 8 (2013 version) myself. This will probably be my last post in this subforum. I'd say if you want something new but don't want to break the bank look at refurbs on amazon. I got my note 8 for $125 because of cosmetic damage on the rear case which is covered up nicely with a $4 case.

I very much don't recommend you to buy this phone at that price, you have sooooo many other option, Umdigi and other Chinese less known brands often are a problem when in comes to Customer services. Same when you need to flash ROMs on it or have a problem with it, no devs are buying this.
Plus if you have trust issues with Chinese products, this one won't fit your expectations.
Please don't buy that. Just for the price point, that would be a loss for you.
Okay what do you suggest with about the same size screen and the same horsepower that chipset is slightly faster than a 730 g I looked also it needs to have bands for for Sprint so if you know of anything with a screen size that size and slightly more horsepower than a 7:30 g and 6 GB of RAM in that price range let me know thank you

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite seems to fit your expectations. Idk the price where you live, but for me it's close to 250$ (270€). It might be because of a sale, but if you want those specs, wait a bit longer till you have more budget or till the price is down to 250$.
Have a good day
The Umidigi S5 pro is a good phone. I have used it for over 8 months and I love it. Very fast and have had no hiccups. If you are overly concerned about it being a Chinese product (Which most of the phones are manufactured in Asian countries) then throw a custom rom on it. One that I know works for it is Havoc OS which is perfect because it is classified as a gaming phone.
