So I just purchased the T-Mobile variant of the Samsung Galaxy S2. However there seems to be little to no cases available for it.
Does anyone know how physically different these versions are?
The case I'm looking at says it will fit the international and Canadian versions but not the Sprint version. (It doesn't say anything about the T-Mobile one).
The case is the Case Mate Galaxy S2 Pop! I'd post a link but can't just yet.
Any help/advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!

The case on the international version will not fit the T-Mobile version. Our phone is slightly larger, wider. Also the camera and led on our phone has an up and down design, the international and at&t version has a side by side design for the camera and led. You will have to get a T-Mobile specific case!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Dunno where you're looking but I have found almost all the cases that there were for the Sensation on ebay already.......
search eBay "t989 case"
Thanks guys!
I'm looking for a few specific brands I've used in the past.... specifically Case-Mate and Otterbox. However neither have a T-Mobile version yet that I can find.
size wise they are different the Tmo version is bigger / wider
some accessories wont fit

I am about to buy an Galaxy Note from Australia which will be the Global GSM version.
I was wanting to buy a few accessories from Korea since it would be cheaper and I would have a bit more to choose from.
But since the hardware on the Korean version(LTE + Snapdragon) and the Global version(GSM + exynos) is a bit different, was wondering if something like a battery would still be the same so I can use it in my Global version.
Also, could someone please let me know if the dimensions are the same?
(for cases, screen protectors etc?)
Yes, the battery dimensions are the same. All the GNote's batteries are the same and all are 2500mAh. As for the dimensions, I am not exactly sure. I am guessing since Note LTE has the same specs as the Canadian and U.S Notes, it would be .35mm thicker than the N7000, so it would be a hair off, the case would work.

Hey guys, I just ordered a Coveroo case for my Galaxy nexus because it looks really nice on the website. Upon further inspection (after purchase of course ) i found that it says verizon only. So i have an unlocked gsm version, and was wondering if anybody has had any experience with this case. The more i think about it the more i doubt it fitting. So my main question is does this case fit an international version?
link?
Hello Guys,
I went back to my Nexus 5 from an AT&T LG G3. I didn't know about about the PMA (I have QI chargers everywhere), and I wasn't sure about the Snapdragon 801 when there's a version with the 805.
So, I'm thinking about getting the latest korean version with 32GB, 3GB, 805 and QI-compatible hardware, but I'm confused with the models. What is the latest, and which one works with AT&T's LTE network? Tried searching, but everybody talks about a different model.
Also, what's the best place to order it? Do you guys recommend it? Or should I wait to see the Nexus 5/6 2014?
(G3 sub forum.. I believe you like it, but I expect honest opinions)
Thank you guys in advance!

I have the F460S (G3 with the SD805) and it works on Att. I believe that all of the Korean ones have the same bands if I recall correctly. I like my Korean one more than my Att D850. It doesn't work as hard or get as hot as the Att one which is good. There are some OPs discussing the F460 if you look in this forum. You have to get the quick circle case for the cat 6 model to get the qi (just remove the sticker and put it in your back cover). I'm glad that I got the F460 its a great phone.

Awesome! So F460S works on AT&T. F460 is the F460S or they're different models?
Also, does it come with much bloat? Where did you get?
Thanks
What about this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G3-Cat6-...60764?pt=Cell_Phones&var=&hash=item33948add9c
It's the cheapest listing on eBay.. The seller says that LTE may not work in the US, but for AT&T it should, right?
Thanks

All Korean models have the same bands from what I remember. The S is SKT (South Korea Telecom) and it has a ton of bloat. Thankfully it's simple to remove 99% of it, only 1 or two things need root to remove. I like the S model because of the logo on the back and that's the only reason that I can think of... The F460 S/K/L should all work on ATT so I wouldn't worry. It was the same way with the F400 S/K/L. I also had a F400S and it was fine on Att.
The only real differences between all of the models are:
Logo on back cover
Pre-installed bloat
Unless I'm forgetting something that should be it. I would double check that of you like. Here is the link discussing the F400 S/K/L variants and bands(460 should be the same)

It will definitely work on Att, as for the model I like the S but some people buy the K/L models because they tend to be cheaper.
There are 2 versions of the A70 I saw. The A705M and the A705FN. Which one works best on tmobile without any issues?
Bump
This is the 1 I am using on tmobile. No issues at all

I don't think the A705FN has the correct bands

No, I usually don't mess around too much with roms. Just know that since this is the international model it doesn't have Samsung Pay. At least in the US

Very cool. But I forgot to ask you a something. The aspect ratio on the phone is narrower than older phones with aspect ratios of 16:9. I like the older phones with those wider displays. I got2 questions...
1) Can you recommend a current 2019 phone with wider displays with 16:9?
2) Is the a70 wide enough in your opinion?

Believe me, I am no expert. I think for the price, with the A70 you are getting a bargain. Nothing else besides the OP7 Pro has a screen as big, but even that is almost twice the price

I'm using the SM-A705MN/DS on Mint Mobile (T-Mobile) with no problems.
I'm the same as you...I greatly prefer 16:9 phones. Unfortunately there aren't many available these days. The Razer 2 is one but the screen is overall too small for me. I specifically bought the A70 because it is a little wider than some of the other phones like the 6T. I also have a Mate 20 X which is much wider but also much bigger overall (actually too big....great phone though). I'd prefer a phone a little wider than the A70 but it's still much better than many of the others. Hope that helps.

Hey dude. You said you own the mate 20X. I was actually thinking of getting that phone instead of the a70. But you also said the mate 20X is too big. So I assume its hard to fit in your jean's front pocket. I also assume you prefer the a70's size to the size of fhe mate 20X.
I'm crushed between the a70 and mate 20x. Could you give me more details as to their size differences and how you came to choose the a70 over the mate 20X? And which do you recommend for me given my size preference and your experience with both of these phones?

The 20 X fits in my pockets fine. For me, size is an issue with just using the phone....it's really big. I prefer the Mate 20 X over the A70 in almost every way except size and weight. The 20 X is faster, has real dual speakers, unbeatable battery life (the A70 is very good with battery too so far), and also has a great AMOLED screen (A70 is slightly better in my opinion). Oh yeah, the 20 X also has a fingerprint sensor that actually works.
Having said all that, the 20 X is just slightly too big for me for everyday use. I had a regular Mate 20 (not the pro) before buying the 20 X and should have kept it. It's very similar in width to the A70 (it's shorter than A70) and has similar performance to the 20 X. I almost bought another regular Mate 20 but with all the stuff going on with Huawei lately I decided to try the A70 instead.
This website (https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Samsung-Galaxy-A70,Huawei-Mate-20-X/phones/11160,11027) shows them side-by-side and layered which makes it easy to really compare the sizes.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
Plus you have to be careful with which screen you get with the 20X. I know they had issues with the screens from one of the makers. It had green bleed or something like that

This is as big as they get.... but to answer your question
1. not really off the top of my head.
2. no I wish it was bigger and definitely wider. (I"m a big guy i'd honestly go for a 7" to a 7.2" phone)

Ok now I'm very confused. You said you bought the one from amazon and works fine. But scottsonj says its the wrong one and to deny delivery. But the amazon link shows its the model a705m which is the most compatible a70 in usa for tmo of all the a70 versions. That's where I'm very confused about.
I asked scottsosnj for a link from where he got his. Still waiting.

This is the one i bought off of Amazon.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RWFC6NY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Works great on T-mobile in the USA.
T-Mobile uses 2 4 5 12 66 and 71
This A70 has 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 12 13 17 20 66
So far I'm having no issues. FYI they did send me a SM-A705MN/DS, not a SM-A705GM/DS (I'm unaware of any differences between them)
I know the global SM-A705F/DS, SM-A705FN/DS are the ones to stay away from.
In response to scottsonj issue..... Maybe they sent him the wrong model? one other reviewer on there claimed to got a SM-A705FN/DS not the M or MN
I hope this helps you.

Hey man.. this is the same exact one I ordered from amazon. So I should be good on tmo. But I may switch to spectrum which uses verizon's network.
You said before that you wish the a70 were wider. I'm now having second thoughts about ordering the a70. Now thinking about the 20x.
