B&H selling Samsung S7 Edge International Version - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hey all. Found out from another member yesterday that B&H is selling the International variant of the S7 Edge.
I was thinking of buying the INTL version from someone on eBay but started thinking maybe B&H is a better way to so since they also offer the 1 year warranty through them.
Has anyone had any experience buying unlocked or INTL versions from B&H before? Never bought a phone from B&H... Wanted to ask around and see what experiences people have had.
Thank you!

B&h is a VERY reputable company located here in ny 34 st i think they are. They have their store location which sucks since they only charge taxes to people that live here. But yeah u can order from them with confident. Very good company thag have been around for years. If they do have locally i might later jump on a international versio. But has of now. Im happy without root, using disable package and crytal to block ad from browser. Dont like adguard or other vpn cause they drain battery plus the. Big vpn icon which u cant get rid off

Off topic: did you try AdBlock Plus in Samsung's browser ? Works great. Clean, no VPN.

B&H is a good store but if you want the international version take a look at ebay, some of us got out S7 Edge for 700, B&H is selling it for 800.

Where to buy GT 7.7? and a few questions.

I'm having a lot of trouble locating one of these. It's currently out for AT&T correct?
Not on newegg or amazon.
For those of you using this as a phone as well.. could you give me feedback on how you like it? Do you use a bluetooth headset? If so, what brand/model?
Please take some time to read previous threads on this.
after doing a bit more research heres what i've found (cant post links bc im a new user):
ebay - 629.00 - 7 day return policy - 1 year seller warranty.
amazon - 659.99 - no warranty
not on any major sites (other than amazon) such as newegg and crutchfield, or bestbuy.
the ebay deal > amazon (obviously).
surprised its not sold by these major retailers... what gives?
also, its factory "unlocked" meaning it isnt carrier specific?

Negri - ~$580 with shipping
https://negrielectronics.com/samsun...gb-wifi-only-black-open-box.html#.T2n_38US1Ng
Craigslist
That's where I got mine at a ridiculously low price. $400 with a 2 yr square trade warranty. It was purchased from Negri.
I've seen other listings on Craiglist as well for lower than that Negri price.
OK.... IF you have AT&T already (smart phone with data), then you can get the International version of the tab. (6800)
AT&T and T-Mobile currently DOES NOT offer therse in there product line..
BUT They do work on those carriers..
.And the phone parts works too as well as internet, txt and mms messaging.
Verizon DOES carry them, but there is no phone capabilities built in . So no phone, txt or mms with Verizon
Here's a thread on where to buy in the USA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468325
The Negri link that maverick 777 posted is for the WI-FI version only..
That device WILL NOT give you phone, txt or mms capabilities.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525108
If you want the phone etc with using your existing sim card from your smart phone with data plan with AT&T or T-mobile...
Then you need to get the international version with quad band etc
So I just remove my AT&T sim card out of my smart phone and jam it in my 6800 tab and BAM!!! Now I have a 7.7 inch screem smart phone!!
As far as using it for a phone.. it's cool IMHO, but you'll read where others distain the look and feel of a 7.7 inch phone..
I get along with it just fine...

.good luck with your decision

i just read that negri isnt reliable. can someone who bought from there give insight?
edit: After reading the links, Negri is obviously reliable. There still wasn't a definite answer about the 'white' back and the 'silver/black' back. Any insight?
I'd say call Negri directly... may as well start at the source..
They're 800 number is in the web page..
I got mine there.. still waiting on the USA adapter for the charger though they promised it was in the mail twice now.
They should be able to tell you if they have any white ones..
Good luck
.
I believe that Negri lists white and silver models separately on their site (and they have different price). So you can order the one you want. When I was ordering, the white ones were back-ordered.
I bought my GT 7.7 (and a Nokia N9) from Negri and was very satisfied with both orders.
Negri Most Reliable
I bought both my Note and 7.7 from Negri. They seemed to have inventory before most, and always comfortable to buy a product from a Company in the U.S. (Las Vegas) They shipped same day and delivery exactly when they said. I will buy my Note 10.1 from Negri when available. Both units previously purchased were international, which is best if you want to spend the extra money.
My experiences allow me to highly recommend Negri as your source vendor.
Negri has the 6810 for only $498.50. Sucks I just paid $572.50 less than a month ago!

Has Anyone Bought the I9500 in the US?

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to ask that does anyone in the US got the I9500? If anyone of you do, please do let me know. I am waiting for some info on this before buying.

I ordered the I9500 from Negri Electronics. Waiting for shipping. What do you want to know?
Just wanted to know that what is the best place to get them and are they really shipping I9500's rather than unlocked I9505's. I looked up Amazon and Ebay. But the comments on the amazon one's are putting me off. And eBay.. somehow i just don't want to trust for something that worth $800.
Also needed to know a little about the warranty on this. The I9500 would come with a 1 year warranty by default, right?

I have ordered on Negri Electronics for 798 dollars + 54 dollars DHL shipping fee to France.
Oh so you are shipping it to France! I thought you were in US!

Yes. Europe doesn't offer I9500, so the only way is to import from USA or other county. And yes, the warranty will be US 1 year warranty
I am willing to pay a little more up front because in the long run, it would be cheaper for me. I checked contract phones, and they are coming up to $120 a month for AT&T (unlimited talk/text + 3GB LTE). I can easily wrap it up in the in $60 by sticking with my AT&T prepaid. Plus i am not speed freak when it comes to internet. Most of the time am at home with Wi-Fi.
My only concern is warranty. Where do i get my issues fixed when i have an international version. I hope Samsung USA would be willing to take it in!
I got mine from Expansys which I can confirm is the 9500. Used them before a few times without any issues and returned a DOA to them a couple years ago without drama which was exchanged for another (same) unit. I'm not too worried about the warranty as a year is all I need and my credit card doubles it anyways. I have never had to use that warranty however so I cant claim to know how it plays out in that regard. I'm pretty sure its not going to be as easy as walking into a local carrier store and dropping the old broken phone on the counter and leaving with a new one.
I brought mine from ebay for 699 USD and posted out to Spain. LIke other buyers here from Europe the local version is the i9505. But the I9500 in my eyes was worth it. (Slightly faster and better battery) HSDPA 42.2 Mbps is fine for me and I dont have LTE where I live.
No issues, well apart from a spec of dust under the screen! I'm just going to put up with it I think, but have contacted Samsung Spain to see if anything can be done. No doubt they will tell me to deal with Samsung USA.
Well the price of Negri electronics are a little more reasonable, than cellhut.com and expansys.com.

Preordering Edge

I can't seem to find anywhere to pre-order the note edge. I want a contract-free unlocked phone.

I did it at www.clove.co.uk .
I don't know in wich country you are living in but ask them about the region lock thing, they should be able to unlock it for you if this is the case.
Cheers~
How much are they charging? Or is it just a waiting list. I emailed them asking about dates, prices, and lock. Will update when I get a reply.
Any other shops out there?
541,67 pounds (~886 US dollars ) excluding taxes and shipping.

I hope it is that soon.
I live in the US. I know that the Note 4 will be coming out in October of this year.
Then they said the note edge will be released before the end of this year. I did read somewhere that the Canada release was going to be the bring of 2015 and it would be after the US launch.
either way I am getting this phone ASAP.
Just pre ordered the black version of Edge from Clove in UK. Hope Samsung releases the phone soon.
Preordering in Romania
Hi there!
In Romania you can preorder the 64 gb version on quickmobile.ro at a price of about 1.000 euros!!!!
A bit too much if you ask me! (taxes included).
Lol isn't that too much must be an error
I saw this ebay ad for a Galaxy Note Edge pre-order for £559 with est delivery for 28 October to 4t Nov.

Seems a bit doggy - title was misleading, it says Galaxy Note 4 Edge. So I asked the following questions:
1. Can you confirm it's the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or the Galaxy Note Edge you're selling? It's confusing because the title says Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge.
2. Is this UK or International version?
3. Are you selling the 32GB or 64GB model?
4. Since this is a pre order, what are your policy on cancellation?
Got this reply back:
Hi
Follow the below link ..
www.samsung.com/uk/GalaxyNote4
2GB RAM+16GB ROM
Product is full uk spec version.
1 year warranty
Aiden
Now I am convinced its doggy!
But aren't the international versions lacking the proper LTE bands? I really don't want to spend that much $ and not get LTE!
anybody tried yatango? it says here in the article they have it omg

Yatango.com.au seems that is shipping only in Australia
Hi guys,
I am considering buying this from Japan via internet, I wanted to know the following:
If Samsung releases updates firmware, will I be able to update the phone?
Is there anything else I need to watch out for?
Many thanks in advance.

I saw them on ebay for $999.
And yes they will have the branding on the battery back.
And some wont have the LTE since the US uses a different brand for it.
Its best to just wait till he hits your area and buy it then.

Yep, its the one on ebay. I asked seller some questions about it working in UK, they replied back saying it won't work on all carriers. I will probably have to give up on that one.
The problem is no one has even the faints of idea when it would come to UK. I don't want to wait for months. Might force myself to buy the Note 4.

Waiting is better then giving in for something you don't want or spending money on something that might not work for you.
When they had talk about the note 4 I wasn't to much in to it.
I had an s2 for a very long time. Everybody ask when I was going to upgrade to the s3. But i didnt want it since it wasn't that big of a difference. Then the htc one m7 came out so I got that since it was a bigger upgrade for me.
then I got the note 3 from there.
And I know how samsung does things and knew it wouldn't be a big leap. From my note 3 to the note 4.
But then I hear about the edge and I've been waiting that phone since they show the tech demo last year.
So Yea wait for what you really want. Or you could rock the note 4 and sell it when the edge is released in your area.
or you can blow a hole in your wallet and buy both haha

Thanks for you advice. I agree with what you're saying, I know I'll never be entirely happy and will always be looking out for the Edge. But not knowing when, if ever it will come to my country is the problem.
Avenging,
Wish I could buy both but that won't happen.
I think I'll get N4 now and sell it off as soon as the Edge becomes available.

Where to buy the S7 Edge Duos on New York?

Hello guys, how are you?
Does anyone know where to buy the S7 Edge Duos (G-935FD) in New York?
Thanks!
I don't think you can find it at any local stores in NY at this moment and if you were to you'd probably get it for a very high price. Best way is to order online from ebay (got mine from ebay) or buy from an Arab online store which is where the phone is currently available from.

Got it! I looked on Amazon and Ebay, but none of the stores or sellers were located on New York, unfortunately...
But thanks a lot for the response! I will keep looking for it!

May I ask what's stopping you from buying it online from a place other than NY? I'm curious because buying online from someplace else would even save you paying taxes for it. Also you could get it from B&H which is NY based but they don't offer the Duos version as of right now.

Sure, my main concern is regarding the shipping time. I have a friend who is in NY right now and will be back to Brazil on April 5, and he said that he could bring the device.
I looked on Amazon and Ebay, and tried to contact sellers in hope that they could deliver the product in NY in a shorter time, but I didn't have success yet.
And thanks a lot daLareid, for all the attention, help and support!

Oh I understand now, some of the sellers on ebay might offer paid shipping which would meaning receiving the item faster. But if you can settle for a regular S7 Edge with 1 SIM then your best bet would probably be to have your friend buy it from B&H.

Has anyone used eGlobalCentral UK?

Just wondering if anyone has used eGlobalCentral UK to order the Galaxy S7 edge (G935F) non-dual sim version?
Did it come with a UK charger? Their price is fantastic but I don't want to buy it if it comes with a european charger
Please see the below post for consumer information about this web shop, tldr; they are a bunch of scamsters, they will take your money and not deliver a product!

Yup, as the other post says, they're a bunch of scam artists. I've heard they resell used products as new, often with visible defects... Definitely use at your own risk!
If you're happy buying from abroad and are looking for a good price I'd stick with Gearbest. You can currently buy a OnePlus 6 from Gearbest for £330, FYI! :silly:
