So what do you think are we still gonna be stuck with a locked bootloader?
Straight Talk is my carrier and I have the ATT note 4. The coverage is amazing since it is a ATT phone and runs off the ATT towers.
I talked to straight talk today and they said I could get a T-Mobile Note 7 and it would run off the T-Mobile towers.
When I went to Canada last moth my AT&T Note 4 got me from Rochester NY to Toronto with no issues what so ever.
I feel like I will have to decided if I want to keep the better coverage on the AT&T towers and have no root option based on the locked bootloader or go with the T-Mobile to have a unlocked bootloader with crappie tower coverage.
What do you thing guys? Also what date is the release of the Note 7 with 6gb of RAM?
Thanks,
Shawna

Note 7 won't have 6GB Ram. That was a rumor, unfortunately. The Note 7 will have 4GB Ram, which is still quite a bit for a phone.
I'm thinking that the Note 7 will have a locked bootloader on ATT. There may be a way to bypass it though like the S6 and S7. The Note 4 was locked down extremely tight, but ATT also had a contract to supply Note 4's to US government workers, so it had to be extremely secure. AFAIK, the Note 7 doesn't have any such contract associated with it, so locked bootloader or not, we may at least be able to bypass it. It may not happen right away though.
All this is my personal, non-professional speculation.

I'm hoping we can use a modified version of the file that was used to root the s7 and s7 edge since the cpu is the same.
I originally got an ATT Note4, but quickly switched to a TMO Note4 as soon as they got root. I paid to have the TMO Note4 unlocked and use my ATT sim in it. My hope is...worst case scenario I can do the same thing with the Note7. I get great ATT reception from the TMO phone since they were both designed to work on the same frequencies.

Official confirmation from Samsung that puts an end to all those rumors you have been hearing about a new top-end variant of the just-launched Galaxy Note 7. The head of Samsung Mobile, Koh Dong-jin, has confirmed that a Galaxy Note 7 variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of on-board storage does exist. Don’t get your hopes up too high just yet though, because that variant will be China-specific and is unlikely to see daylight in other markets.

So at this point I've got 2 nano sims for a Note 7 when I purchase it to use on straight talk. One is for the ATT towers on ST and the other is for T-Mobile. So now the debate is what one. Essentially I could get the T-Mobile note 7 unlocked and use it with the straight talk sim for the ATT towers right?
So here is all the model numbers I found:
Country / Region Cell Phone Carrier Model Number Chipset
Canada BELL MOBILITY SM-N930W8 Snapdragon 820
China ALL SM-N9300, SM-N9308 Snapdragon 820
Europe ALL SM-N930F Exynos 8890
Korea KT SM-N930K Exynos 8890
Korea LGT SM-N930L Exynos 8890
Korea SKT SM-N930S Exynos 8890
Southeast Asia ALL SM-N930FD Duos (Dual-SIM) Exynos 8890
US CRICKET SM-N930AZ Snapdragon 820
US AT&T SM-N930A Snapdragon 820
US METROPCS SM-N930T1 Snapdragon 820

Hi. Im living in Russia and there are only exynos variant available. After using rather bad exynos note 4 (overheat, bad reception, 3g/4g battery drain, poor aosp development) i decided to buy snapdragon variant of s7 edge. I believe samsung is using superior versions of their handsets in key markets such as NA and China. But for my surprise all s7 edge sold in USA are carrier bound. My question are there unlocked s7 edge snapdragon? What carrier should i choose? Will at-t and t-mobile phones work with other gsm carriers around the world. Also i need no carrier bloatware and unlocked bootloader. As for network i need band 20 800Mhz and band 7 2600Mhz.
Thanks in advance.

None of the U.S. devices cover band 7 nor 20 i guess, those bands aren't used over there.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Europe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
Also, normally carrier locked devices won't work for other carriers unless you hack (was not possible at recent devices afaik) it or pay for unlocking it. But you could be lucky there at the s7 with it locking just at first boot. It could be, that it'll lock to your carrier instead of the one you bought it from, but you'll have to verify that it works before, also it'll only work, if it never has been booted by any employ at the carrier you bought it to ship it locked already.

I saw people importing note 4 sm-910c to USA because its compatible with US lte frequences Same model sold in Russia. I think device itself can support this frequnces though they are not used there.
I'd wait before presuming the Snapdragon model will be superior to the Exynos, especially in terms of things like overheat and reception. It's certainly possible it will be the better option, but there is no guarantee yet. And especially with the debacle on the 810, Snapdragon haven't exactly covered themselves in glory recently.
Hardly anyone has the Exynos model yet, whilst there are a lot of T-Mobile customers in the US who have the Snapdragon, some of who are reporting being unable to use the VR headset for more than 30 minutes without the phone complaining of overheat. Wait until next week and there will be proper comparison reviews that go beyond Snapdragon having a few extra meaningless numbers on some benchmark. That's when an informed decision can be made as to whether it's worth going through the bother of buying your device out of territory and forsaking the manufacturer guarantee.

Good point. I bother buying snapdragon mostly because of lower TDP and better 4g reception in past models. If exynos become equal in this areas i see no point in importing. And i dont wanna wait long cause if i preorder before 18 march i will get free gear vr though i dont need it xD

Would be the first time I hear something like the browser replaced by a carrier, but maybe possible, in common they just add stuff though and make small changes (modem, bootscreen,...). And yes, carrier devices in common get updates later, because the carriers have to incorporate their changes (which can be a few days to months, depends on the carrier), but at the european variants we're lucky with stock roms at least (or at least have been). In most cases you simply can flash a unbranded rom there through odin without second thought.
From what I read about the Note 6 the device is going to be a beast. These are rumors but:
6-inch flexible display
Android 6.0.1
4K Resolution
16-Core processor
Exynos + Snapdragon Chipset
6 GB RAM
32, 64, 128 GB Internal Storage
Micro SD card support (200 GB)
20 MP Primary camera
4000 mAh Battery
Also I read it will come with a dock so this thing is going to replace some computers with these specs.
I need to get it when it comes out in August but obviously it's going to be locked down on Verizon. What do you guys think the best carrier to buy it from to have it work on the Verizon network, unlocked, and eventually rooted? I think Sprint is the only other carrier using CDMA technology so I'm thinking to buy the Note 6 from Sprint full price without a contract. Any thoughts?

US Cellular is CDMA. I to am tired of Verizon, but I just read an article that the S7 and S7 edge are locked down on T-Mobile and Sprint just like our Verizon Note 4's. That just leaves US Cellular but they might be dm-verity locked down too for all I know. No more Samsung phones for me. Nexus looks like the only way to go anymore.
I bought a USC Note 4 with the intent of having it unlocked and using it on Verizon. I was prepared for the only band incompatibility being that USC doesn't broadcast on band 13 LTE, so the phone didn't support that band. Band 4 LTE is supported... which is verizon's "XLTE" (the fast one)... and in most places I go, band 4 is prevalent. So... you should install LTE Discovery and see what bands you connect to everywhere to make sure you'll get LTE when you need it. In short... you won't get the most thorough LTE coverage with US Cellular... but it may be a non-issue to you if Band 4 is prevalent where you need it.
As far as my experience with that Note 4... I never got far enough to try. Turned out that the device I bought on Amazon was essentially "stolen" from the carrier because the device was still on a payment plan... which wasn't being paid on. And surprise! They wouldn't unlock a blacklisted phone. I filed a claim with Amazon, and I got a full refund. Better yet... I got to keep the device. I ended up buying a Developer Edition Note 4, and now my 2yr old son and I have the same phone. (It can't be used on ANY carrier now that it's blacklisted... but it's great for playing non-internet-connected games and episodes of PAW Patrol.)
PM me if you have questions about anything from above this line.
If they sell a Dev Edition of the Note 6... I'm buying one, even if I have to sell a kidney. But, I don't think I'll have to make that difficult decision. There's about as much chance of Samsung making (or should I say Verizon allowing Samung to make) another Developer Edition phone as there is a chance that I'll grow a spare 3rd kidney to sell.

I didn't look into the other variants of the S7... but I'm saddened at the notion that even T-Mo has locked it down. I was in a T-Mo store a few months ago, hoping that the coverage was going to get better in my area. I asked if T-Mo would ever lock the bootloaders like Verizon insists upon, and he said no. If the S7 is bootloader-locked in all variants (from Samsung, not by the carrier)... it's got to be because they want to push Samsung Pay, which shouldn't work if the phone is rooted. Ugh... what a shame. They should just do it like Nexus phones... Android Pay just doesn't work if you're rooted. If you restore to stock, it works again. No need to lock the device down just to make sure one feature will always work.
Also... don't forget about Motorola phones in addition to Nexi. These are the only mainstream "carrier-agnostic" phones being produced, but there are more like the Nextbit Robin, which just got TWRP. By "carrier-agnostic" I mean they are sold direct from the manufacturer with all carrier bands enabled by default. CDMA, GSM, etc.
Anyone know if its possible to get a Exynos powered s7 edge on the Verizon network? I'm really disappointed in the SD820 performance, generally speaking. Especially when it comes to battery endurance/efficiency.

I don't think the exynos variant supports CDMA. So no. I'm on my way to 3 days runtime and 9hrs SOT on my G935V, no complaints here.
I don't think Exynos supports CDMA. You may buy an international version but in order to use it, you probably need to switch to either att or tm

The Galaxy Note Edge still to this day does not have Root. I was wondering if it was worth it getting the Note 7 from At&t or should I get an unlocked one. What do you guys think?
I had the At&t Note 4 as well, which also never got root. I recently sold mine for over $200 on eBay and I found a T-Mobile Note 3 that I rooted and ROM'd and it is nearly as fast as the Note 5. I've already pre-ordered the Note 7 through At&t only because I've used the S7 Edge and it is fast enough to not really need root. But to be fair the S7 and S7 Edge do have root so it may be possible for the Note 7 to be rooted in a similar fashion. Now the bootloader is a whole nother story!

It seems to really depend on the popularity of the phone, whether it gets root or not. The Note 4 Edge was a great phone, but was not that popular with the general public. With all the excitement generated for the Note 7, I think we will get root. I do really wish they had put the snapdragon 821 & 6GB of ram, like the rumors had said. Then it really would of been an iphone killer. Btw, I also Pre-ordered a Note 7.

I'm gonna also pre-order and I have AT&T. But I'm gonna go to best buy and out right buy the unlocked no plan version. AT&T can kiss my rear end, if it weren't for my wife not wanting to leave them I would have dumped them way back when bootloader got locked.

Dont buy it from best buy, they upcharge. They wont carry a sim unlocked one anyways. Buy on amazon. For me as much as I used to like sammy I cant deal with locked bootloaders and the price tag is too high. If anything id consider a international exynos model s7 from amazon. Theres at least stable root and development.

N930F (Europe); N930G (India)
I think both of these models come unlocked and I think there are also dual sim variants that come unlocked as well. Not sure.
I always go for the F variant - N930F - which is usually the international unlocked version.
Yes, it should be possible to unlock the bootloader and root - at least it was on the S7 Edge I used to own.
Keep in mind, the international model uses the Exynos processor as opposed to the SD820 the US version uses.
They both have pros and cons - do your research before you purchase. Especially if you are planning to root, use Samsung Pay etc...
I prefer international for less bloat/carrier restrictions, better battery life, root etc...
P.S. -> if you root then no Samsung Pay

Don't the unlocked phones use different frequencies/channels compare to US carriers and might not get full potential of US LTE network?
Even between US carriers the frequencies/channels are different. For example my Note 3 T-mob doesn't use some channels that Att uses and I can't get full LTE speeds on ATT network because of that.

Why wasn't there been no information about Chipset that is being used at S8 / S8+? Does anybody have any idea what is the chip that will be shipped globally? (Snapdragon 835 or Exynos). Nonetheless, the unpacked event was not so exciting as I expected. There is nothing much to say other than Screen ratio, Bixby and Dex.
Were you really as excited as you though earlier? Did Samsung fulfilled your expectation.
They said we made a new 10nm processor so it's obviously the Exynos, they didnt mention snapdragon so i guess it will be like the S6 with exynos only, maybe.
SM-G950F/FD/N, SM-G955F/FD/N aka International and Korean will be the Exynos 8895
G950U/0 and G955U/0 + US variants will be the Snapdragon 835
Most likely we're gonna get the SD835 version. At least that's what Mobilesyrup said.

Actually they are. Sprint and Verizon only use CDMA for fallback and voice for now. There lte is gsm and once volte gets widespread enough CDMA will be shut down and refarmed for lte.
