Hi does anyone know whether we will be able to buy the 4G version that isn't going to be locked into a particular carrier?
Just I am in the Philippines and they are generally about the last country in the world to get things like this - so i would have to wait until September or 1Q 2012 before i could buy it here...
Also can a carrier locked version be unlocked at all?
Thanks in advance
The only carrier version that has been announced so far is for Verizon, expected to come out in July with LTE. No other information has been released
According to Google, the LTE model will not be available until sometime "later this year".

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.
hi
I am originally from Switzerland and always bought all the galaxy's there in a regular electronic store with no branding or carrier on it. I was always able to use my phones internationally with every possible carrier. a year ago I moved to the states and currently using my s6 edge from Switzerland on cricket (at&t) network. Though i don't get great data speed and connection cause of some frequencies differences between the european and us network. I want to get the s7 edge in the US so i can enjoy perfect connection and speed, but cant find any reliable information regrading the global version SM-G930F, i need one that will also funtion worldwide and especially in switzerland as i travel alot. Unfortunatly in the US people are forced to suscribe to the major cariers to get a the s7 now. i would love to pre-order to get the VR for free. Can anyone pls help me ? what are my possiblities?
Thank u
I don't think you can preorder unless it's through a carrier. You would have to wait until amazon and Samsung begin selling them directly. Which means no VR. Also I can't guarantee that the USA version will be able to fully function abroad. Sorry buddy.
European retailers have been taking pre orders for the unlocked sm-g930F and sm-g-935F international versions since February 23. Unlike US, where carriers dominate the market with their own variants.
The problem is the EU retailers I came across don't ship internationally. But if you have someone in Switzerland, you can order it with their (or your own address in Switzerland) and have them send it to you. You can go to (Google Samsung Switzerland) and on their site you'll see a dozen retailers, such as Steg Electronics, simply offering the unlocked SM-G935F for 818 CHF. Nice and simple!
I preordered mine today without a carrier. The only ****ty thing is that here in Norway a carrier has got the rights to silver color. So i could just make the preorder with other colors
Thank u so much for the info, will I get a free VR ? And also can I use the global version in the US and still enjoy the same data speed and connectivity on att network as I would with a US version? Cause my Swiss Galaxy s6 edge is slower here than an American one, something because of different frequency usage
Cricket is part of at&t, but the way at&t differentiates its plans with its prepaid business (aka cricket wireless) is that Cricket's 4G LTE data speed is limited to 8 mega bits per second, while a native at&t LTE plan speeds go much higher. Cricket clearly states this in the fine prints under their plan as a link "Important data usage ..." As "High-speed data access allows download speeds of a maximum of 8 Mbps for compatible LTE devices and 4 Mbps for compatible HSPA+ devices.".
So if your Galaxy s6 is the international version (SM-G925F), then it has all the right bands to operate on any GSM carrier in the States. All you need to verify is that if your phone has the correct APN. Every US carrier has instructions and FAQs on their APN. For example here is the cricket page:
https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...ice-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html
Thank u very much but I called them many times and they weren't able to fix the issue. What do u suggest I should do with getting the S7 edge?
I would suggest waiting for the galaxy s7 "unlocked" international version to be available in the States.
Places like bhphotovideo.com have the page set up and ready for it. It should be a matter of short while for us to be able to purchase it free of any carrier related restrictions or bloatware. Hang in there.

I also want to buy the international varient of the S7 Edge as I do not want to get stuck with one career and get updates on time. Unlucky us, no free Gear VR :crying:
I just bought one on ebay. It's a SM-935F. The seller has 100% feedback and 35,000 sales. It's the Exynos version. It has full manufacturer warranty It's says it won't ship till mid to late month but I can wait for an carrier free model!

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.
I'm a Vodafone customer in Europe ... In the US, it's a bit random which provider is selected ... I have no idea whether I was connected to T-Mobile during my last US trip ... Sorry for that ...
Hi,
I'm interested in buying a A3 (2017) phone.
The model sold in my country (France and rest of Europe) is the a320f, however I may go to Canada next year and I want a device compatible with LTE bands from Europe and Canada. The model a320y sold in Asia and Australia is the same as a320f, except it supports a few more bands (not less), including the ones I need for Canada.
Did one of you manage to buy a different model from a shop? Do you think some shops will be able to ask Samsung to send them a different model? Otherwise, did one of you succeed in importing from other region, for not too expensive, and where did you buy it? I would like to think of importing as a last solution since there will be double tax + shipping costs…
Thanks in advance,
Galaxy A320Y 2017 dual sim
Dear Yurien
This model would be availiable in Chicago USA by the end of February, I am waiting for it as well. Here is the address for you welectronics.com
Good luck to you

Unfortunately, this website only ships within the USA.
Plus, 400 USD + shipping + border taxes is high, considering it costs 330€ in France
Is there any place to buy the A320Y? When I contacted them, welectronics said they are selling the A320F. Only markets I have come across selling A320Y so far are Chile, Mexico, Indonesia, Thailand and New Zealand. I haven't found a source to get one in the US though. I really wanted this phone for its size but if I am not able to get the A320Y I may just go for the S7 after the S8 is released.
*Also don´t forget that sometimes the Data Bands change depending in the carrier!*
A320YD
Hi to All,
I too am trying to get the famous A320Y model. It is obviously better, not only in Canada but in France too because one of the major operators, Free, is developing the LTE 4G band 28(700) which is not on the A320F models.
I contacted Samsung in France and they simply said that only the A320F is available in France and that it would not be possible to get the A320Y.
I have seen some A320Y models on sale in NZ but not in Australia. They seem to be available in Vietnam but I don't speak Vietnamese and I suspect it would be difficult to buy them without some knowledge.
The 320Y I saw on NZ sites was not the dual sim model that I want.
Any more information on this would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance!
