Samsung s4 cheapest price

Hi guys. I want to buy this great phone. Post here links with the cheapest price you found this. Thanks

Sam's Club in the US has it for $168.88 in the stores. Mine had a defective screen and they swapped it out for another with no issue and a great attitude. Square trade insurance was $10 off too.

[Q] Need to buy a SM9005 from Amazon, importing to India

Hi there guys,
Hope you all are having a good day.
So the thing is that I decided on getting myself a Note 3 (the international version). I sought the add out on Amazon and will be purchasing it soon.
Could someone who has an idea about the import tell me as to how much will the final price be that I have to pay after the custom clearance? I really need to know this before buying it. The on-shelf price of the Note 3 on the website is $705 and the seller is 'mygsmstore'.
It would be a great help. I can't ask questions on the website as I haven't yet bought anything from amazon.

Hi there,
I am also trying for the same. if you refer to my question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47783662, I am trying to get this from Expansys.
Let me know if you are interested and/or want to pursue this!
Thanks,
Ckhurana

Even I was thinking of the same, however there are quite a few problems.
1. How good is the retailer. As we will lose all warranty since its a USA product. So we need to be pretty sure of genuineness of the product.
2. Customs is quite tricky. I have searched and could barely find a convincing answer about the customs aspect on importing the phone
3. Region Locking- Samsung region locks the device. i.e. if we get it from USA, how will we get a US sim to unlock it.
Would be glad if some community member can help us.

I think u guys must think to buy from U.A.E Dubai, from dubai its region lock free, if someone known person is coming than u can have custom duty free also.

is that so well as i recall it i could see a number of sellers who directly import unused and unopened Note 3 from the US, only extra cost which the customer may need to pay is OCTROI if applicable.

Hi,
I see that you have ordered note3 N9005, even I am planning to buy one from US. But there are two main concerns, first, is this a genuine Samsung phone? Second, about region lock policy of Samsung.
So, please let me know did you face any region lock problem and how is your phone working so far (could you check your phone with android app which verify the originality of Samsung phone). If your phone is good, I can order from the same seller.

[Q] Buying N3 in China

Hi, I'd like some tips to choose which model of Note3 to buy in China.
SM-NXXX or tips to not get scammed.
I live in Italy, so which one is usable here? Or which one can be modded? Thanks ^^

Best tip to not get scammed:-
Don't buy it in China

What's bad about it? Did you get the dual sim one?
Most likely I have to buy/trade one there (giving back my HTC one 802t).
What's the difference between sm-n900, 900k and 9005?

my best advice, get your note 3 in your country, and from an authorized vendor, you will be covered against any malfuction or quality issues, the money you coul probably save buying on line, will never amount to the peace of mind a warranty offers you, I have returned some phones 3 or four, always getting a new one, if you buy on line, and specially fron china, what will you do in case of a sudden death or something else?
the forum is plagued with cases of people asking for help due to malfunctions that otherwise could have been solved through an authorized dealer in their respective countries, think about this, luck

If you want to have 4g then you cannot but one from China Mainland, none of them support 4g lte. You need to get one from Hongkong(SM-N9005). Do not get the SM-N900 as it is 3g only as well.
Here is the main ones you can buy from China/Hongkong:
9002: dual sim version, wcdma+gsm
9006: wcdma version
9008: TD-scdma version
9009: dual sim version, cmda2000+gsm
9005: 4g version, parallel imported from hongkong
900: wcdma. dual quad cores
