Just got the s7 edge have to say this phone is beast mode.
Also i think i may uave the hotspot hacked(no root needed). Have to do a little more testing
Sweet
I got.it working now on lte 3g and evdo a (airave).
Nice! Glad to see they split off into sprint edge as well!
I'll be getting the S7 Edge tomorrow, did you have to sign for the shipment if you ordered it online
Bout to pull the trigger on a boost S8.
I'm currently a Sprint customer and am going to replace my S6 with it and swap the SIM.
From what little i can tell the only difference is the color code of the device:
Boost
SPHG950UABB
Sprint
SPHG950UBLK
Any insight would be great.
I'm confident there is not.
Based on everything I've read about how all of the US variants are essentially the same (SM-G950U), I'm confident that there is zero difference between this device and any other device.
Picked up my S8 for a solid deal. Was cheaper than the S6 when i got it
It's been very quiet here lately. I guess people have either sold their phones or are satisfied with this one. Personally I've been very tempted to buy the Nex 3 5G but there just isn't enough 5G coverage to justify it.
On that note, can anyone explain the 5G bands and which phone and specs will work both in the US and internationally?
Hope everyone is Staying Safe!! I have not posted on this site in a long time.
I have a Note 8, NO PROBLEMS with it and still satisfied with it.
I have read all the specs on the two phones Note 8 and A71. The A71 seems like a very good choice now to upgrade from the Note 8 which I have had for over 3 years.
I looked at the S20 FE and compared the specs on that to the A71 and Note 8.
For the difference in price I think I will go with the A71. I know the S20 has a better refresh rate, but I do not play games and the extra $200 or more for the S20 can not be justified as I am an OLE man.. LOL
What are your opinions on which to get, A71 or S20? Open for all suggestions.
Thanks for your time and help.
Please Stay Safe and Happy Holidays!
I just got through reading the Real Life thread on here. Very good info. Still looking for opinions on worth of moving from Note 8 to A71. Don't really use my phone as a phone. More like a Laptop for News, Notes, etc.
Check slickdeals and you can get the A71 a lot cheaper. Use the Note 8 for trade in and use promo codes from slickdeals for a really good deal.
Thanks for the tip. I have checked many sites for the best price. I have an S7edge ($115) and Note 8 ($185) trade in.
I can buy a refurbished A71a much cheaper without using a trade in. Have used this option on many of previous Note x purchases since the Note 2, with warranty.
I want to keep my Note 8 as it is still a great phone. I always keep a backup phone.
An update on my decision to buy an A71 5g. Ran across a special on Samsung Website and they offered an A71 5g on special.
I traded in an old S7 Edge and bought the A71 for $260. The best deal that I could find as it is brand new, warranty and T-Mobile.
If anyone is interested I can provide the link if that is allowed on this site?
The best deal I could get from T-Mobile was the A71 5g if I took out another phone line for $20/month x 24 months. That would have been $480. The regular price in T-Mobile was $600.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Please Stay Safe.

Received my A71 5G Black. Did NOT come with a plastic back cover and no ear buds. Called Samsung to question why the ear buds were not included. Their response was: No longer supplied with the phone. NP since I have better ones from my previous phones.
No major problems transferring data from phones (Note 8 to A71.) Some apps would not work on A71. Still setting up some non default settings. Write back in a week to let you know my opinion. So far, GOOD!
Anyone here using US version S22 Ultra or any US version Samsung phone in Japan?
Can you please tell me about battery life and are there any signal/reception/bands issue?
I've bought a t-mobile S8+ and at&t s7 edge on ebay before (around july 2017)
the s8+ was pretty new at that time, I think the battery is still very good but it would drain the battery from 100 to 10 overnight
just standing-by. I even made a factory reset and let it sit overnight but it still drains the battery so bad.
It was the same thing for the s7 edge I bought on ebay
I still don't know what's the reason why or maybe because of incompatible bands??? the phone is trying so hard to search for signal??
I have really good good coverage in my area though, I'm getting an average RSRP reading of -80dBm - -85dBm
I'm still hesitant about buying another one since I don't want to buy Japanese versions of Samsung phone anymore,
and amazon US the only option where I can buy new phone that ships to japan.
