Site to import i9500 Exynos model - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a site where I can preorder an unlocked SGS4 i9500 with the exynos chipset to Canada?
I know there is always eBay, but are there currently any other trustworthy site to preorder this and have it shipped to Canada unlocked?
Thank you

I looked for a S3 international version everywhere, but could not find it! So i know, finding it will be difficult.
I looked at Amazon... and most of the reviews for phones labelled International versions, turned out to be normal dual core ones. So read the reviews carefully before ordering.

I know what you mean... I really want the international i9500 version...

Those are the top two. I ordered two international I9300's from Expansys USA and the service was fast and without issue.
There is an Expansys Canada though, so check the prices between the two once there is pricing.

So are the prices fair? Or do they charge a bomb for the international versions?
Also wanted to know what happens if i take the Exynos Galaxy S4, and take a LTE data plan, what happens then?

negri as of today said all indications are that it will be receiving quad core s4...

$800 for 16GB, $850 for 32GB, $900 for 64GB.

same here im from there and i cant find it. i really want the i9500 model aswell. if anyone finds any good website please let us know where to get the international version from thanks

negrielectronics is so dumb. They put sd600 for the 9500 model same as the 9505 listed on their site.
i might just cancel my preorder from them since they are just clueless and retarded.

They listed i9500 and i9505 with SD600 with powerVR gpu lol...
I tried helping them on twitter to get them to fix it, atleast put ADRENO GPU on the qualcomm one atleast.
Even though their page says the information on the page may not be correct, then atleast change it since you said its not correct.
I may just cancel my preorder from them since the guy who handles the twitter is a dickweed.

i messaged this seller on ebay, confirmed that it will be the exynos model but the dates are not confirmed. the seller told me by mid april they should have them in stone but for now its late april-early may (waiting on the word from samsung). if i can get it somewhere else sooner i can just cancel the order, paypal does not transfer the funds to seller until the item is shipped.

I swear i saw Exynos, when i posted the link yesterday. Maybe i was mistaken. This is a bit dodgy. Dont wanna order a i9500 only to find it is a Snapdragon.
Expansys still does not have S4's listed. Waiting for them.

today i saw the s4 to preorder for 699€ 16 gb
all preorders ineurope i saw will have a price at 699€
in amazon spain you can preorder....
Amazon I9500 699€
the other question is,
is this the right one?

Question, does the Exynos version have regular 4g band, 1800mhz (should be TMOBIL)? I thought the S4 Exynos version had no LTE.

The model that is on preorder at Clove, the n7100, does NOT have any lte capability. 3G only.
The n7105 model with lte comes out a bit later.
Super expensive, 670€, 100 more than euro prices of holland, germany or austria.
Greedy clove as always, not buying there.
i just purchased it -VAT as it's shipping to AU
480GBP = 746AUD inc shipping

Who's selling it cheaper? If you are not in the UK, you don't pay VAT so its 551€ + shipping. I paid £464 including shipping to NZ.
Now that the wait is on, I'm more concerned with CM10 support

On the handtec website....it says it has 4G LTE but it is the N7100 model as well:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.ph...16gb--n7100--sim-free-unlocked--marble-white-
I'm a bit confused, I thought the new Note 2 has LTE support, which is something new!???
They must be wrong.
For what it's worth, PhoneArena said it has LTE support as well.
Not saying they're right, but who knows
I got an email back from clove this morning stating that the veraion they are stocking is 3g and not lte.
"As 4G / LTE has only begun trials in the UK very recently the version of the Note 2 we are receiving next week will not be LTE compatible. EE will probably have a locked down LTE version of the Note 2 at some point in the future, hopefully this year, which means a SIM free version may become available. If it does and we have access to it then we will place it for sale on the website

I pre-ordered mine from clove, but ended up actually buying one (well, ordering and paying for one) from , because of some issues paying for it on the website. Handtec have got the same dates listed, so it's just a case of waiting for it to arrive now.

here... uk and germany will get the i9500 and i9505
Samsung have officially announced its Snapdragon for UK.
The link your referring to is not official, I think they have based their information on what firmware builds they have found.
Maybe we will get Exynos at some point, but all the retailers that have said they were initially are correcting their ads (most) .
Carphone warehouse even printed a load of brochures with the wrong specs!
What we need (for those who want it) is a company that is selling imports. Trouble is so many still list the wrong specs or claim they don't know what they are getting yet. I'm not sure I'd trust an unfamiliar company and none of the reputable ones offer a specificly imported exynos.

Why so hurry ? Exynos will not be out til May....so chill out til then You are not alone, I'm waiting for Octa but there is no way to get it yet.

Galaxy S4 Question about US Market

Hello everyone who is eagerly anticipating to get their hands on an S4! I am aware of the fact that the U.S. version of the phone is going to be the quad-core version, but that's only for phones from carriers, correct? I really wanna get the octa-core version, albeit without taking advantage of 8 cores simultaneously. So, can we order the international version from a U.S. online retailer, when it's released?
Its not really known yet because we haven't even reached the pre-order date yet, however, there are several threads that have this question asked in them already. If you keep an eye on those threads I think your question will be answered as soon as someone knows.
Thanks, man! I figured there might be a couple of threads about that, but I didn't look around since it's easier to post a new thread. Anyway, sorry about that.

Sweet! Thanks! Even though I'm impatient, I'll have to wait for a while because I really don't want to be paying that much. Hopefully it will drop to $640 as it was projected.
I'm going to the US in july, and since here in Brazil we have many taxes, i'll buy my S4 in there. But I would like to know if I will find the octa-core ones on physical shops or they will sell the octa core one just in online shops?

You should be able to find both in shops non carrier shops should have them, if the carriers don't.
Not all customer service may know the difference between phones. So check the phone before buying.

Yeah, I always do that, my cousin one bought an iPhone 4 thinking that is was a 4s , but thanks, that made me relieved that I can buy the octa core one
In US markets? Doubt you'll find an octacore. But if you ever do please share where you found it.

[GT-I9500] Where to buy the Exynos OCTA variant in EUROPE

Hello,
Is there any link apart from amazon.com (US) and canada to pre order the OCTA version that we all want ?
I can't consider buying any other version since it's the one and only GS4 samsung advertised and the only one I could consider spend money on, the flagship GS4
I hope we will find a retailer in europe, they must have one in whole europe :highfive:
Found one link but for morocco :s
http://translate.google.fr/translat...e-offert.html#product36416&act=url&authuser=0
A shame that africa can benefit from the best variant of the GS4 but not europe !
any news on this?
It is now available on ebay, but would prefer some store, with invoice so I could activate warranty if needed

UK
US
Received today by email From Clove Technology in the United Kingdom:
We have today received the unfortunate news that the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is unlikely to launch in the UK.
If this is the case, we will not have official UK stock available to us. However, for those customers that are still interested in ordering, we will try to obtain non-UK stock.
More information is available in this blog post and we will continue to provide updates as the situation develops:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/09/15/samsung-galaxy-note-edge-will-available-uk-launch/
Better news though is that The Note 4 will be priced at £479.17 (£575 inc. VAT) which is nearly £100 cheaper than I expected, considering the Galaxy Alpha is priced higher.
Saudi sellers cannot confirm note edge availability I'm getting worried on this
Aftermarket seller here in Romania confirmed that will have edge at one is priced 600 euros and the other 800 euros

The 1st Romanian site is known for having small prices UNTIL the official launch of a product to attract clients, and make them pre-order, and than the prices will go up.
how can it be cheaper than the official price in other markets?
UK Samsung Experience Store now claiming the Edge will come to the UK officially but no release date.

One Thousand One Hundred & Ten bucks, holy blueballs batman.....thats a ridiculous price for a phone! If I'm gonna pay that much for a phone it better be made out of gold! The devs probably got 75 to 100$ in making the dog gone thing, they probably go from dumpster to dumpster looking for scrap TVs / computers and snatch the circuit boards and motherboards then retrofit/rebuild to Sammie's specs, ya think? It would not surprise me.

I still think the price isnt right.
they say the Note 4 is $845
But i know for a fact at tmobile its $750 then if you add tax its bout $811
So just off of that i believe the price will be lower then $1,110
Im still thinking it will be in the $850 to $950 range.
But only time will tell. The word out is that after the note 4 ship. That following week they should release more infor on the edge preorder and pricing.
*edit
Just found out verizon sells the note 4 for $699.
ohhhh it looks like singapore will ge betting the edge
