Where I can buy the 64GB version of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with both 3G and WiFi? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

Does anyone know a reliable source anywhere I can buy the 64GB or even 32GB version of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with both 3G and WiFi? (I've recently been scammed by a company in China offering a 64GB version)

As far as I know, the 64GB in either Wi-Fi or 3G doesn't exist yet. UK resellers just started to receive the 32GB 3G model on Friday (9/30). The arrival date for the 64GB model is supposed to be mid-October. Both have been delayed repeatedly. My 32GB 3G is supposed to be delivered on Wednesday.

Can you tell me what store you ordered your 32GB 3G and for how much?

32GB 3G is available in Singapore for past 2 weeks .. I'm waiting for the 64GB if it ever comes.

This flash memory is installed to the board, isn't it? Maybe the flash storage can be changed by opening the device?

I got mine from a B2B reseller that doesn't sell to the public through a work connection. Clove is supposed to get their first shipment in this Friday and they're easy to deal with for U.S. shipments. It's 500 GBP delivered via DHL 2-day.

Do either the 64 or 32GB versions hold SIM cards?

They both do/will. The Wi-Fi version of the 32GB has been available since launch. The 64GB hasn't been available in either 3G or Wi-Fi. The 3G 32GB is rolling out in the UK this week and the 64GB in both Wi-Fi and 3G is supposedly going to be available in "mid-October." T-Mobile U.S. is releasing a 16GB version that runs on their AWS HSPA+ network on 10/26. I don't know if it'll support AT&T's bands and off-contract it probably won't be any cheaper than importing an unlocked one from the UK. And as those using a VZW Tab have seen, being dependent on a carrier for updates sucks. All of this info is for the EU/UK where Samsung sells direct to consumer. Who knows what their plans are for the U.S. Additionally, Samsung won't sell unlocked 3G/4G devices in the U.S. because of their relationships with the U.S. carriers.

P.S. - Someone's posted different availibility in Singapore. That doesn't do the rest of the world any good as it's impossible to export one from there.

Yes they do, I have had my 32gb 3G tab 10.1 for 2 months now here in South Africa.
On my second tab, as after a month I had the dreaded newton rings which Samsung promptly exchanged and gave me a new one.

Singapore just released the 3G version of the 64GB yesterday .. snag myself a set !

LTE release date?

I'm wonderin when the LTE version will be available? I'm here in Asia and this is the only tablet worth buying for me right now for college purposes. (and other stuff)
I imagine we will not get word about those till at least Oct 10th.
I would be interested to know the release date for the LTE model as well...no announcements out there at all.
According to this article, there's been no mention of support for US LTE bands. Engadget doesn't always have the most accurate Android info, though.

I saw the 32 GB Black at my local BestBuy but I'm not going to buy it until I know about the LTE one.
If the price is the same, and it should be if I buy it outright/unlocked, no contract, I get extra connectivity (LTE, just swap in the SIM from my phone whenever) and a SnapDragon processor which is more likely to get root and custom ROMS, why wouldn't I pick it up.
I also want to see if any custom ROM development happens on the WIFI Exynos version... but I don't see it.
Too many questions up in the air for me to pull the trigger... but I am certain I want the 10.1 2014.
Any comments? Am I batty to be concerned by these issues?

The price won't be the same.. be logic.. And samsung already released the codes for the exynos 5420 and this very encouraging you know.. Developpers now can create custom roms and stuff.. I think that a lot of people will have the wifi version (simply because we can tether connection from ou mobiles) and therefor there will be custom roms, root and more stuff created for the exynos version
Educate me on the reasons why the cellphone carriers will price unlocked LTE higher than the wifi version?

you can simply go and compar with other tablets: you'll see that the 3G or 4G version costs always more than a wifi only version. This goes for samsung or apple..
And the prices for the 4g version have already been released in some countries in europe and the 16gb wifi only version costs 550 euros and the 4G+wifi 16gb version costs 670 euros.. So you can expect that there will be a price diference also in the US between both models

So... ~15% more. That may be worth it for LTE and having a Snapdragon processor that dev's will write ROMs for.
Still no ROMs for the Exynos.
Note3 is Snap Dragon.
All the 10.1 2014 WIFI tablets are going to get left out in the cold... I'm afraid.

I'm interested in the LTE model for the Snapdragon 800. Seems to have better GPU performance so that translates to a better user experience. Note 12.2 with Snapdragon 800 would be perfect.

LTE Model "Later this year"

According to Google, the LTE model will not be available until sometime "later this year".
https://sites.google.com/a/pressatgoogle.com/android-10-15/nexus9
Bummer!
I am also sad that it doesn't include wireless charging. I guess will be holding onto my Nexus 7 for a little while longer.
Oh, this upsets me I have a 2013 Nexus 7 with mobile data right now. Was considering the update.
When i heard that O2 and Three (both mobile providers) were going to be among the first shops in the UK to start selling it I assumed it would be a LTE/4g/3g version.
Overall I am happy with my 2013 Nexus 7, but the Nexus 9 seems to have a more premium look to it. 4:3 aspect ratio should be better for reading to.
What SIM size does the LTE version use? Micro? Mini? I don't see it in the spec.
Hmm... should I get N9 LTE for $599 or Shield Tablet LTE for $399? I use Parallel Access with my iPad and 10" is a bliss, but too big to carry and use while commuting.
On Amazon £469
I've pre-ordered a 4g Nexus 9 from Amazon UK for £469 where it states delivery will be 3 November.
I have seen other press reports stating that the 4g version will not be available until later this year and hopefully this is incorrect!

Black only.
Sand for example will be available only as a 32gb variant (no 16gb at all).
Sadly I was looking for the sand or white LTE version and now will go for the 32gb sand when it becomes available.
I was sorely tempted to get the LTE/4G version given that Three do a very nice 10gig data contract for £15 a month, but given the hold up that the 4G version had with 4.4.4, I am disinclined to go that route. It sounds daft but part of why I go Nexus is because they get updates right away. The only other route would be a customs ROM but then there is the issus with some apps not working due to "security" etc etc.
If anyone has info to the contrary I will gladly spring for a 4G version mind.
Dammit, how come Amazon US doesn't have the LTE version for pre-order?!
Sprint LTE?
Gents,
I use Sprint. I would like the LTE model but I am not paying T-mo for a data plan.
any of you cats think Sprint will have an LTE version? Will there even *be* an LTE version other than T-mo?

Question. Can I change the APN and use ATT? I have unlimited data for iPad and it would be sweet justice to use it on NeXus 9. Wondering about SIM size as well.
I'd bet it's a nano-SIM. You could cut that older AT&T SIM and then use an adapter to swap it back and forth. Not sure about APN or compatibility, though?
So you've been paying AT&T all this time, $30/month for that unlimited plan on your iPad? Wow. I got sick of paying it just to keep the grandfathered status. I sold mine a few years ago to a very eager buyer for $750, and never looked back. I did get $40 from the class action settlement though. Damn bait-and-switchers... AT&T sucks.
Man... Google need to get their crap together when it comes to announcing new product AND having it available. Apple announced iPhone 6, 6+ and new iPads and they are all available to purchase very soon afterwards. Why can't Google just do the same: announce the new products, THEN have ALL models available within a week.
Oh wait... considering they FORGOT to get the FCC certification for the Nexus Player after announcing it... LMFAO

What does it mean by the "T-Mobile version"? I thought all Nexus devices are the same, regardless of the carrier:
- No crapware
- Not locked
I did place the order. So if it turns out to have both of the above, especially the locked version, I can always cancel.

Spec issues / Missing LTE

Anyone in the US preorder and notice that their received tablet did not have the LTE they were promised in the specifications pre-sales? I got mine in yesterday and there was no nano-sim slot. The manual spells out 2 models, one with and one without, but the website simply said that it had a SIM slot and LTE and didn't give the option for different models - only colors.
I am pissed and feel that I was bait-and-switched. The only reason I bought it was for a better LTE tablet!
I'm also a bit ticked off about this. I have not yet ordered the device simply because the site and information thus far is not clear about LTE...
I just got off the phone with Lenovo sales and they were just as clueless.
My colleague ordered one of these and received Model YB1-X90F and the manual does say that for LTE you need optional model YB1-X90L. I haven't had a good look at his tablet but if you look inside the slot can you at least confirm if there are pins to read the SIM? Perhaps the radio is actually there on all models?
The sales rep did show me a spec sheet which shoes the US yoga book as "None" for WWAN but if you open the PDF spec sheet on the model it has LTE listed as optional. Well WHERE can we select this option???? Again, sales rep and sales rep manager said its all the same and the "option" was the consumer just has to put in their own SIM card. Either way, its not clear.
For reference, here is the Lenovo spec site: http://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/YOGA_Book?M=ZA0V0224US
Click the PDF icon to bring up the more details on the optional LTE.
Update: So I spoke with another sales rep who tells me the marketing team made a mistake when the device was first listed on the US site and that it will NOT have LTE capabilities. Yoga books from other countries "may"
REALLY REALLY DISAPPOINTED. I was a click away from buying this and I decided to "chat" with a Lenovo person about LTE. One said yes it was LTE compatible even though their actual website did not mention it so I got a second opinion and that person said only some models in Europe will have the LTE version. UGH!
If you pull out the SIM/MicroSD tray you see where the SIM would fit is solid metal.
I compared to the SIM/MicroSD on my Galaxy S7 Edge, the Sim space is open and fits the Sim. The MicroSD and the Sim cards lie side by side.
Unfortunately the Samsung tray doesn't line up for me to try to fit it in.
FYI, The best answer Lenovo is willing to offer me is that they do not know if they will ever sell the LTE version and they are willing to issue a full refund and offer a tiny discount on a future purchase.
sigh. I hope Lenovo will start selling the LTE version in the near future.
I got mine last year from Amazon in Germany. It's model YB1-X90L and the LTE module works flawlessly in all European states I visited recently (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France) and in the US.

ahh! that's good to know. I've seen that model on ebay also. As long as it works for US T-Mobile, then I am sold.

Best place to buy Exynos version in US

thanks for the eye opener, now back to my question "Best place to buy Exynos version in US"
In the past, I've had the best success with well rated ebay resellers. Having ebay back your purchase is important because they are so buyer centric. If there are any issues at all, they will force paypal to refund your money. The only downside to this, is that you'll likely pay a little more - especially if you purchase right at release time.
Wonda Mobile and Expansys are also great/reputable online resellers that will surely sell the S8 and S8+. You'll pay closer to the retail price of the device (no ebay fees, price gouging, etc) and their return policies are good. That said, YOU will pay return fees back to Korea if there are issues and you're 100% at their discretion for returns/replacements/restocking fees, etc.
Hope this helps.

I got my Galaxy S7 Edge (G935F) on Amazon and was going to get the NOTE 7 EXYNOS from https://www.bhphotovideo.com/
They are a good retailer - I am hoping we can get preorder from them - (they did offer a preorder for the NOTE but it never happened because batteries started exploding before the NOTE 7 Was released.
Silly question - but why would one prefer the Exynos version over the Snapdragon? Is there a noticeable difference in performance, or some other factor?
From what I hear, the performance on the Exynos variant is better than the Snapdragon variant. Also, the SnapDragon variant has been bootloader locked as of lately (Note 7, S7, and S7 Edge) while the Exynos variants have been unlocked.
So I pre-ordered a sim unlocked s8+ through samsung's UK site. not sure if they will ship to US though
Greetings from Canada,
Would anyone know which "soc" goes in the Canadian variant?
Thank you.

thats so naive from you..see the galaxy s7 exynos variant was unlock the past year where the s7 820 was not, what that means ?
basically means that you was not able to root any western device , but only exynos variant can... and root a device is crucial to open a lot of possibilitys like overclock
and responding to the question of this guy, basically in every latin country on america you can find the exynos variant, which is kind a weird cosidering that allways all america used the qualcomm variant in the past , and because a lot of mexicans carriers dont have the culture of wait until the oficial release of the smartphone i will expect some people to buyit long before

Canada is getting the snapdragon like the USA unfortunately.
Handtech and Clove are both reputable UK shops that many on this forum have used and recommend. Be aware if you're​ a first time buyer at either you may have to jump extra hoops to clear your credit card. This is normal and due to the high degree of fraud in international cell phone sales​.

I know with the international S7, Samsung Pay would not work in the US. Not too worried about that, but are there any other drawbacks? Will it work on all the LTE bands for AT&T?
I think for those that really want the international version, you'll have to find overseas sites that ship to the US or get them from a reputable seller on eBay such as never-msrp. The downside, as always, to importing is a higher price and generally, no warranty. I generally get quarterly trade where if anything happens and no one fixes the phone, they'll just give a full refund of the phone price. Anyways, just make sure it says SM 950F or SM 955F. The F are the true international unlocked models. Samsung pay may now work in the US. Check out the S7 threads to see how they got pay to work in the US

You don't want them to ship it. The EU phones have region lock. To use a SIM from a country different from the phone's selling country you have to make a 5 minute call on a SIM native to the selling country on a network native to the selling country. That's why all the grey market phones on eBay are mostly from Asia.
Here's an article on it.

LTE on ATT works fine on the International Varients - the only thing missing is WIFI Calling and VOLTE - if those are big deals for you, yoiu need to stick with an ATT Phone. I haven't missed them - LTE speeds for me have always been great - I don't need WIFI Calling - and HD VOICE, well, I am not so sure it is everythign it is cracked up to be - call quality for me has been very good - so I personally am not missing anything.
I have wondered for a while if the snapdragon model in the US isn't something paid for by the NSA to be a the only US variant offered. Like more backdoors, etc built in to the Snapdragon variant. Unless there is some other obvious reason why the US gets only the Snapdragon variant.
It really doesn't matter for daily usable or noticeable performance however. Bet you'd never be able to tell which variant you were using if they were set up the same and you didn't check in the settings to cheat to see which variant it was.

Where are you ordering the international version of S8?

I live in the US but wish to have an international model. Where are the best places to order this from?
Thanks!

WiFi calling should work on the S8 regardless of where bought. I can't guarantee but with the S7 it wasnt a carrier specific model required to get WiFi calling. UK phones are exynos.

The G955F is missing band 30 for AT&T. It's a relatively newer band AT&T is using in cities, so see if your area uses it.
If you do order from Clove in the UK, be aware that the S8 models are NOT considered Pre-Order and they charge your card immediately and their ship date is at least a week later than the US. Ask me how I found out...
I don't know how. But I was able to order the international version unlocked from Samsung UK. They excepted payment and the shipping address is in the US.

If you do order from Clove in the UK, be aware that the S8 models are NOT considered Pre-Order and they charge your card immediately and their ship date is at least a week later than the US. Ask me how I found out...

Obviously because he ordered and they charged him for it. They charged me for my order as well to but it's fine as I was expecting it

The G955F is missing band 30 for AT&T. It's a relatively newer band AT&T is using in cities, so see if your area uses it.

Good point. I get 40-80 in my area with band 30 on my OnePlus 3T. I got 20-30 on my mate 9 without band 30 before I sold it.
I live in Norway and just pre-ordered my s8 silver. Total cost (without any lock) was roughly 760 dollars. 5 years warranty. Expected delivery is around 20th of April.

Samsung is very adamant about their phones only being sold in their designated selling region (EG: UK phones sold in the UK). If I were to bet, you'll get an e-mail from Samsung UK canceling your order once they realize they'd be shipping it to the U.S. If for some reason they do ship it to you it won't be usable. All Samsung's EU phones have region lock. A region locked phone has to be used in its selling region (EG: UK) to make a 5 minute voice call using a regional (EG: UK) SIM on a regional network (EG: Vodafone) before it "unlocks" itself. Only after that happens can you use a SIM from outside the phone's selling region. Caveat Emptor.
This is from Clove; Handtec does the same thing...
Since September 2013, Samsung has implemented a 'region lock' on all new stock. Clove Technology only has access to models designed for the “European” region, which covers both UK and mainland Europe. For correct operation, this handset should be activated inside one of these countries with a SIM card issued for use there. The device will then be able to accept SIM cards from outside of these countries.
Activation requires turning the device on for the first time & completing set-up with the SIM installed, then completing at least 5 minutes of voice call(s) with this SIM. Without activation you may still use the device outside of these countries when 'roaming' - using a SIM card from the listed countries.
If this activation procedure is not followed then the device will lock when first attempted to be used with a SIM card from outside of these regions. Local Samsung support may provide a code to unlock such handsets.
IF YOUR CHOSEN DELIVERY COUNTY IS NOT LISTED, CLOVE TECHNOLOGY WILL BREAK THE SEAL ON THIS DEVICE AND ACTIVATE IT. YOU MUST AGREE TO THIS PROCEDURE IN THE CHECKOUT BEFORE THE SALE WILL COMPLETE.​
