UK S9+ Waiting Room - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion

Here is a space to discuss best deals from various Networks, also to see if pre orders are shipped early as expected.
Discuss anything related to the process of ordering & delivery, free gifts and colour choices.
Carphone warehouse are offering up a free 128gb Micro SD card with the S9 & S9+.
I decided to stick with my Network Sky (who don't seem to be offering any free gifts) . My choice was to go for the S9+ in lillac purple (I dare to be different).
So please feel free UK buyers to use this space :good:

Hi dude, went for cpw too s9 plus in black aye shame we aint gettin any better deals like free wireless charger etc

We seldom do get great deals, but a 128gb SD card is not to bad although a wireless charger or new dex is obviously better :silly:
Pre orders start shipping on the 9th, will be interesting to test the most improved feature (That camera) and how it compares with my Pixel XL 2 & iPhone X :good:

Hopefully the new distributer don't use UKMail as I had issues last year.

Ordered via Samsung I just hope its arrives before I go to work.

I am in the US but ordered from Clove.co.uk - they told me the pre-order was shipping on the 8th - I hope that happens, I can't wait to snap a few pictures with that Camera and see for myself how good it is - read several reviews yesterday and I am more excited than ever.

I thought it was a lot cheaper where you are. £869 is roughly $1200.

s9+ ordered from the Samsung store coming from my very battered and bruised s7 edge, pretty excited!
What colour did everyone go for? I'm breaking from tradition and going for the Coral Blue (Always had black)

murican here. Ordered the UK model cuz of the storage and Exynos. So I halfway belong here.

Ran me $1,023 vs $840 before tax for the gimped U.S. model. For the extra money I'm getting 128GB and Exynos (and all its perks). Definitely worth the extra, and the fact that there are no free items this time made the choice that much easier.

Expensive purchase hope no customs tax on top of that? Not sure how it works in the states?
Most certainly the correct decision bro :good:

Yeah seems like a better decision to go for.
But check ur bands to make sure u can actually use the exynos version in the States, there are some diff ones especially with likes of t mobile etc

Just a reminder guys that if you are ordering directly and have an older phone to make sure you pick up a nano SIM.
You don't that suprise on delivery.
Have a good weekend guys.

Ordered direct from Samsung. Trading in my S7 Edge. Took £202 off the asking price. Went for the blue this year, my S7 Edge was black and I fancied a change!

Pretty sure they use DPD, who are usually pretty reliable. Tip: Install the DPD app as it'll notify you of any shipments coming to your address!

galaxy note available in november. Edit : Late October

http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/09/21/samsung-galaxy-notefirst-stock-expected-november/
Clove has an available date for late november in UK
The big question for those of us across the water - Is it compatible to ATT 3G bands ??
Edit : May be later october in some European countries
http://sammyhub.com/2011/10/03/gala...europe-south-korea-to-get-lte-version-in-nov/
Looks like Samsung will launch their 5.3-inch smartphone-tablet earlier than expected. The Korean giant has confirmed that Galaxy Note will be launched this month starting with European countries. Big launch events are scheduled in Germany, UK, France and other European countries.
Meanwhile, Samsung is also preparing to launch the Galaxy Note in its home country. However, the difference between the local and the international version will be the inclusion of LTE. The Korean version should be launched sometime in November.

Holy crap. I didn't know it would be out so soon
Best phone in the world bar none! Puts every other phone to shame hardware wise...
It will work with Att bands but knowing stupid Samsung they will block you from getting a warranty if your American just like they did with the Galaxy SII i9100.
If I can find a way to get it with a warranty in the U.S. this will be my next phone

I had Dell streak for nearly an year. Loved the phone so much that inspite of owing a SGS II , I still miss my streak.
Streak easily fits all pant pockets and I have rarely used a carrying pouch.
Note is shorter than streak
Dell Streak ---------------152.9 x 79.1 x 10 mm and weights 220g
Samsung Galaxy Note 146.85 x 82.95 x 9.65 mm and weights 178g
I will love to own a note if it comes with ATT frequency
The note looks really good. Though not sure there's a real Market for mid sized Tablets... Why not just get the sgs2??

That's odd
folks at the IFA said the Note scores somewhere in the 3700+ in qudrant and the one in the video barely scored 2500
Quadrant numbers doesnt matter anymore....

Hoping this will be my next phone. Bought the Dell Streak AWS and sort of regret it. Not the size, just the phone itself. I love my Galaxy Tab (phone enabled) but there is room in my purse for this phone and I WANT IT !!!!

variable within a certain range is understandable but a drop of well over 1k points is questionable. Also GSMarena's results show much better number than SGSII but they didn't show any quadrant results

Any update on availability in India? It's available in grey market but official Indian version will apparently be available from 17th midnight according to a dealer near my place.
Saw a dummy device and have to say that it is really sleek!
Just can't get myself to switch from the ease of an iPhone 6S plus. Super tempted though.

Same model number in the link you posted, but there it's showing 4 gigs of RAM, so I'm assuming the only difference in the ones on eBay is the amount of RAM? Everything else is the same?
Yes, that's correct. I'm on AT&T and have bought several Taiwan version Xperia phones and they all work on AT&T. I bought the XZ2 from Taiwan for the same reason, increased RAM. The ebay seller has also added pictures if the box and you can see the bands listed.

Seriously considering this phone, but if I'm going to be paying this much for one I want the best version I can get. My current OnePlus 3T has 6 gigs of RAM, so I didn't want to pay almost double to get less!
Just want to wait to see what they announce at the new Google Event next week in order to make my final decision. Oh, and I also really want the Bordeaux color if I do go for the Sony, which this seller currently shows as out of stock.
The Bordeaux color is at clove, and cheaper too. Hard choice. A XZ3 for ~750 usd is hard to beat

That is a pretty good price. Still, I can't wrap my head around the fact of paying more for my new phone than the one I'm currently using while the new phone has less RAM.
May wait until closer to the holidays anyway as my current phone isn't having any problems. Might be able to snag some sort of Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal which would make the price even more palatable!

No grain of salt needed. I was the one who made additional posts in that thread that you seemed to doubt. There is no bloatware on the AT&T model, however if it will load 3 apps when booted with an AT&T SIM card: MyAT&T, AT&T TV, and Call Protect. All three of those are NOT system apps and can easily be uninstalled.
Also, the AT&T model is SIM locked for both regular SIM and eSIM, does support DSDS out of the box, and has a locked bootloader.

I'm back in the Pixel Pre-Order thread!!!! ?? more $$ out my wallet lol. I ordered the Unlocked 128GB 4XL Panda unlocked through Google which will be on my T-Mobile account (no bloat). I had the 1st Pixel XL & (currently) 2XL (skipped the 3 XL) and decided to get the 4 XL... Estimated delivery date of Oct 30th-31st.
Debating what I will do with the $100 credit when I get it (wish the pixel buds were out... Maybe I'll finally get the nest doorbell).
Originally had a pre-order through the Google Store for a Panda 4 XL 128GB unlocked with expedited shipping and estimated delivery date of 24-25.
Decided to cancel that and order through Best Buy instead with a store pick up date of the 24th because I was able to use my 6% Elite Plus rewards, 3% Rakuten rewards, and some saved up Best Buy rewards.
Much better for me because then if I get a bad QC phone, which hopefully won't be the case now that Foxconn makes them, I can just exchange at Best Buy, without stressing about Google's choice of carrier messing things up.
Pixel 4 XL 64 GB Unlocked Oh So Orange (Purchased from Google Store)
Ordered: October 15, 2019, 10:18 AM
Delivery Oct 25–26
Shipping to Texas
Ordered the Just White Pixel 4 XL64 from the Google store. Orders says it ships 10/21 so i expect delivery by 10/23.
Think we will start to see labels created Sunday night going into Monday.
Ordered Just Black - first day - (took me about 15 minutes after the Google Event) to see the Pixel 4XL on the Google Store - Order placed and looks like it is scheduled to arrive 10/23-10/24. Looking forward to it.
I see lots of people complaining about this and that thing and how it should be different on the pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL - I see the same kind of comments on virtually all "Pre-Orders" I have done - Samsung in particular - but at the end of the day, it is what it is - we can choose to buy or not - and frankly, I choose to buy. The Pixel 4XL looks like it is going to be a simply awesome phone - the camera (which is one of the main reasons I am getting it) looks amazing. Could it be better ? Sure - but then my paycheck could be bigger too and it's not. So I deal with it and look for the positive.

Will there be difference if we wait for the European model or it will be the same?

The link I gave is the European model. The Netherlands got it much earlier. ? All models are the same from everything that I've read.
Belsimpel.nl offers sim free European model and deliver almost everywhere in Europe.
Thanks for the hints guys.
Damn.... it costs as much as S20 Ultra. :/

yeah, that's unfortunate.
I found the Find X2 Pro on "Trading Shenzhen" for 927€ https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/vivo-oppo-realme-etc/2159-oppo-findx2pro-12-256.html
however it's a Chinese model. Most likely won't be able to flash Global ROM on it... but the price is very tempting!
already cancelled my Find X2 (non Pro) order, and I'm probably gonna buy the Pro from Trading Shenzhen.

I will wait to see the OnePlus 8 series announcement. If they are not better, I hope Oppo will be already available in more EU countries by then.

OnePlus 8 Pro looks impressive, but I'm not a fan of the green and the camera no quite on par from initial comparisons. What are your thoughts?

I also didn't like the green too much, but the blue version looks amazing on all reviews no matter that on oneplus' webpage the picture of the blue looks ugly. For the camera I agree that probably it won't be the absolute best but I wouldn't look at Oneplus anyways if the camera was my top priority. However I think it will be updated and it will be top-of-the-line. Oneplus is the king of updates and UX. The screen is the best, stereo speakers, fastest wireless charging. I also like that they removed the motorized camera tbh(i know this is subjective, but still). The curve of the screen is not something that I appreciate, but also I get used to this( I had the Vivo Nex 3, Huawei Mate 30 Pro) and don't mind in the end.
Some things I like better on the Find X2 Pro(the back finish for example and the faster wired charging), but OnePlus 8 Pro gets my vote because the community is beyond comparison so we will get all kinds of things to play with over here at XDA. +good battery +fastest wireless charging +the best screen +great camera +Oxygen(btw Find X2 Pro is similar) +best updates.
In the end -> I placed my pre-order of the blue 256GB model and hopefully will get it by the end of next week.

Looking at this, did you buy it? Is it dual-SIM. Website sort of makes out it is, but chatting to their team on facebook messenger, they say its a single sim??
Hi, do you know différences between chinese and global version ?

Hi, sadly I don't. I waited for two weeks (6 days for it to be in stock) and they still didn't send it despite having it in stock (despite their adverts saying thar they send phones 7 days a week until 11pm etc) and I cancelled the order and bought a P40 Pro instead.
I’ve ordered the orange variant from Belsimpel.nl, shipped Friday so hope to receive sometime this week (UK). Took a few days to get through fraud check as I’m not in the Netherlands but appreciate that is for my safety also. By the time i got through the checks it said 2-4 days to get stock in but they actually shipped immediately. Not sure if they put one to the side for me but doubt it!

I've took the gamble too. Have just ordered the black from belsimpel.nl
Looked at all the alternatives, and although some of the China ones were cheaper, they were all just 256gb. I would have liked dual sim but the chance of the phone not supporting android auto and/or wifi calling (plus only one year warranty - and the possibility of customs charges etc) was too much of a gamble. None of the Chinese merchants would commit.
Hopefully, this will arrive swiftly... nice black 512Gb single SIM for just over €1,204 including shipping. Reckon that even when(if) it turns up in UK it'll be similar price for 512Gb.
Ordering, like you say, was a bit of a miff... but I'll take that for security purposes.

Just for info, the tracking on mine was stuck, it still said it was waiting to be picked up by the courier for 3 days after it 'shipped'. It wasn't though it was in transit and arrived within 3 working days
Arrived 2nd Day after shipping. Has Android Auto, WiFi calling (yet to test), so currently quite happy
