FM RADIO there ???? USA / EU - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

So we know this year EU / US models have Exynos processor both ( except for Verizon variant ) .
Someone of you on USA VARIANT can tell us if you have FM Radio enabled ? Tis because us in EU that have same identical processor it seems miss FM Radio.

US always gets Snap Dragon processors. Note 10 and Plus both have Snap Dragon 855 in the US, regardless of carrier.

you are wrong.
This year only Verizon Note 10 / + will continue to have Snapdragon

Would you please share with me how you know that to be a fact? All articles that call out the chip in the US are Snapdragon. Samsung wouldn't put a Snapdragon in their phone just for one carrier in one country. It would cost too much. Here, let me start by sharing an article that was update 4 days ago.

Unfortunately, for you he made that claim before the Note 10/+ was "unpacked". He has since said he was wrong. Every reviewer in articles and Youtube that had their hands on a US version said it was a SD 855.

The link you shared clearly says that US is Snapdragon - you must have read the article Wrong.

Huh? I literally said US are Snapdragon in my comment you quoted then shared an article to support that comment.

The chipset may support FM radio, but the FM radio requires wired headset/headphone jack to also function as the antennae. Since the note no longer has a headphone Jack what would be the point?

what? note10+ included usb-c headphone. i'm sure that can use as antenna also.

depends if there is room in the standard to recieve radio waves over a pin/wire in the cable. in a headset they generally just wired into a cable to recieve the radio signal. but I'm not sure if USB C would allow them to wire into the earth externally to work as an antenna, but seems most firms are just of the opinion people stream these days, in the UK most of the radio stations have made online streams to account for this.
not ideal if you are limited on data, but it seems that's what most manufacturers and people think these days, the networks just need to catch up on letting people stream more and actually have a fitting data allowance for the speeds of the likes of 5G. (UK networks are working on it with excluding certain services from data use or making unlimited services for reasonable prices)

sorry...

- I wasn't intending to respond to your comment - but rather was trying to offer supporting information to @wolfgart who was saying that only verizon was snapdragon - my apologies- sorry I caused confusion...

I have preordered Note 10+ 512GB 5G from Verizon, not received yet. I had a long texting session with Samsung about this in their app. They insisted there was no radio receiver, and that there was not one in my Note 8 either! After much discussion they agreed for the Note 8 that I had, it must have been an "undocumented" hardware feature. So... who knows!

FM radio needs the earphones cable as a antenna to work, so I guess the answer is there's not FM radio support on the note10

Or there is one and frequency selection is software dependent?
best deal at gearbest
You can buy at gearbest with 12 months warranty versus 6 months for less money, 164 euros with promo code "CellPhones8"
Hope it helps
I am a little confused here.
Both TD and gear best carry the 1 pro. Gearbest shows that the phone has band 7 (2600) and until today, tiny reflected that as well.
6 days after ordering from tinydeal, I have received an email from them stating the phone does NOT support band 7. Every other seller and device specification site says bands 3&7 are supported.
Finding official documentation has been a bit of a daunting task.
Advice, anyone?
I'm kind of confused about the phone, too. There seem to be three models floating around in stores, a regular one with bands B1/B3/B7/B38/B39/B40/B41, one with B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B12/B17/B25/B26, and an International one with different bands listed as well. Yet the manufacturer only seems to list the B1/3/7/38/39/40/41 model. Is this true? Does the second model I listed with B2/4/5/17 have full AT&T LTE support in the US?
Im really not sure. Too many conflicting reports. I think I'm going to cancel my order in the morning. I asked about the bands on the official tech support Le forum, and they referred me to their Hong Kong forum while completely dodging the question.
Update: A forum moderator sent me to the 'official' sales site here: http://cn.lemall.com/le_1pro/parameter.html
Three variants listed. All three have the same FDD-LTE bands of 1/3/7
In today's email from tinydeal they told I that the phone ordered supports B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B12/B17/B25/B26.
I'm kinda torn now.. at under $200 it's not a huge risk.. But I'm already kinda tired of dealing with the crap of finding just the basics on this device. How much harder will it be when I have it in hand and need to do something more advanced?

I just received mine from Coolicool today. Popped in my Cricket sim card and LTE Discovery lists me as being connected to Band 17 right now. This must be an updated model, as it appears that the newly listed bands are correct. Maybe this is a sign that they're actually moving forward with releasing the phone in the US? If anyone suspects that LTE Discovery might be wrong, please point me to a better utility.
For the record, I purchased mine from Coolicool. As of today, all of the other models have been removed (the two with the different bands listed and the international version) and this is the sole model up for sale. It won't allow me to post a link because I'm new here, but it's the featured product on the upper right side of the screen.

The option is missing from the first menu. The second menu says CDMA and has a box you can check. I have no way of knowing what it did or if it works, as I don't live in an area that using Band 20. All I know is that I'm definitely getting Band 2 and 17, which haven't been available up until this new batch started shipping out apparently. The specs on the site I bought from specifically says no Band 20 support, so I'm guessing this doesn't work.

I cancelled the order, ordered another from gearbest that did indeed work on bands 3&7 ( 7 being the important one for me - Free mobile in central France). Sold it after a couple days because the phone was just too damned big and the software was a mess.
Actually thinking of buying another one as a spare. My Nexus 5 did something wonky yesterday and I don't want to have it fail and get caught in a situation where I don't have a phone.

I looked on all official LeTV/ LeEco sites (Global, India, HK, China) but don't seem to be able to find an "international version". Does anyone know where to find official information rather than from resellers?

No, I decided not to order another one. I thought I could get past my dislike of 5.5 inch phones, but just too big for daily use for me. 5.2 inch seems to be the sweet spot, so that's where I'm focusing my attention at the moment - though that is presenting it's own set of challenges.
I'm using a nexus 5 at the moment. I would like a little better battery life and a little larger screen, but I'm not dying for a new phone at the moment.
If I do find myself in a spot where I have to replace my phone and I can't find a 5.2 inch that checks all the boxes (big one being budget), I'll probably just stick with a 5 inch phone.
Right now the top two are the xiaomi mi4c and the huawei p8.
I would rather go with an Mi5 or P9 but they're out of my price range.

I don't think an official international version exists. At least thas what I gathered from talking to some LeTv support people on their forums. Everything sold outside of HK/China and India is considered gray market, as far as I can tell.

US vs International version.

I'm about to buy this watch from Amazon. They have both a US and International version. I have no clue what the difference is. Any recommendations?

Warranty differences. Nothing else.
What about wall chager plug? Does US version come with US type or standart EU type wall charger?
Best,
US version has US plug ( of course.....)
But who cares about that... adapters are $1....
Okay that adapter works
How about watch faces. For example should I use most common moto 360 luxury brand faces like R. Submariner, O.Semaster, T.Heuer etc.
Do these faces also compatible with Huawei watch?
If you guys who have these faces with Huawei would share some images, I will be glad.
Best,
Hello guys...
This is Huawei answer in Amazon:-
"Hello Stephen Munroe, I'd love to answer your question! Certain software updates on the U.S. and international versions of the Huawei Watch are different. For example, the Huawei Watch, featured in China, doesn't have the software update for the speaker that the U.S. Huawei Watch version has. Also, the U.S. watch comes with a 1 year U.S. manufacturers warranty while the international watch does not. (ED)"
Any experience with using the US-version in Europe?

Good question, I've just ordered the US version, I can't see why it wouldn't work here in Europe/UK though ?
I heard the US version is not IP67 certified and may not be as water resistant as the International version? Read that from a review on Amazon.
I'm using Huawei Watch US version in Asia (Pakistan) for a month now. It shouldn't be an issue because the watch doesn't have any network bands which you fear might mess up. I ordered the US version because of that speaker update which, according to Amazon Q&A, didn't land on international version. As for the IP67 certification goes, I didn't expose it to even a drop of water because I don't care if the watch is IP67 or not, speaker definitely isn't and since I'm away from US, I don't have the warranty so I can't risk it.
I was a proud owner of original Moto 360 for a year and half before this. This watch is leaps and bounds better than Moto. You're gonna love it using it and you're gonna love it when people are continuously going to compliment you because this watch is an exquisite piece of technology.

The difference in the Huawei Watch 2 international version & US is this.
Huawei did not release it's stand alone LTE version in the US, the US version lacks a sim card slot & LTE capability, it only runs on Bluetooth & WiFi & NFC.
The international version ha LTE capability, it has a sim card slot & can be used as a stand alone LTE device with it's on phone number so it doesn't need to be connected to a phone, it can run off LTE & WiFi & Bluetooth & NFC.

Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F) Exynos vs Snapdragon

Just received mine today, I was worried about Samsung having limited its performance to be on par with the Snapdragon variant in US.
In Geekbench 4 I get 3620 single core and 8691 multi core.
Antutu score is 242,767
How about yours?
locked bootloader vs unlocked bootloader !!
I got 3729 single, and 8699 multi-core score. Pretty similar.
243.028 here
Edit: closed background apps, did a new test. 247.918 now
Exynos
I am actually annoyed with Samsung policy in Europe. The exynos processor is very bad in graphic performance vs the snapdragon 845 version.
Then I would like to buy the S9+ snapdragon version... how to find one with the SD 845 in Spain?
I would like to buy a S9+ Samsung but I need your help... I dont like the exynos version!

Qualcomm has a lock on CDMA modem patents, which is to say that Samsung can't build a working CDMA modem into the Exynos AP. To make the Exynos variant CDMA compatible, they would have to use a separate Qualcomm-licensed modem, which would both increase the cost and space needed inside the phone. They did this for the Galaxy S6 because they accurately judged the SD810 was a flaming piece of garbage, but for any other year, when the Snapdragon performance is basically equal to the Exynos in daily use (yes, even when the E8890 S7s left the S820-powered versions in the dust), they aren't willing to pay more and engineer extra space in the phones for it.

I always thought it sucked that AT&T/TMo customers were stuck with the same SD version as Verizon and Sprint simply because of the CDMA patents. I don't see why AT&T and T-Mobile couldn't just get an Exynos version for the rest of the world, and have a separate version for Sprint/Verizon and and other countries that use CDMA (albeit there aren't that many ...).
Granted, I don't know the numbers or patent laws involved, but one would think at least the the straight GSM version would benefit from greater economies of scale. Then for CDMA, it could use either an SD processor or a Qualcomm modem. I mean, is it really that much cheaper to pay for a CDMA license in EVERY SD version sold in the US and Canada, regardless of the network it ends up on, vs keeping the CDMA version as a niche product for the carriers/countries that need it? Or does Qualcomm have a few WCDMA/LTE patents in the US and Canada that forces Samsung to use SDs?
It reminds me of paying the "Microsoft tax" for a new PC when you want to run Linux and never Windows.

I don't think the CDMA argument is valid for Canada even, as up until the S7, they used the Exynos variant. I imagine that Samsung Canada was pressured by the American arm to switch to Snapdragon as a show of conformity, and that Canadians simply got the short end of the stick (well not this year, since the E9810 is quickly turning out to appear much worse in efficiency than the SD variant according to PA and AnandTech) as they get the snapdragon variant simply because they're next to the US.
No call recording on Exynos version sounds like so SD for me

I live in the US but I just purchased the Exynos version because i saw reviews online showing the battery life was better than the SD845 version. WTH! I was going to take my SD version back because I cant get through a full workday on this phone without charging. Im a pretty heavy user but I could get a full day with my google pixel 2. I even saw reviews putting the S9 ahead of the pixel 2 and almost as close as the pixel 2 XL. This S9 is amazing in every way except the battery.

Mate 20 X 5G Final Specs Emerge [Disappointing!]

I have been waiting to get my hands on the Mate 20X 5G model for a while. It is now becoming more widely available around the world (Kuwait, UAE, Finland, Switzerland and China and the UK by the end of July as the T-ban has been partially lifted, Lol). Here are all the key differences between the ORIGINAL version and the 5G variant and some are very disappointing. I think I will skip this version and wait for the Mate 30X or the Mate X.
In the meantime, if anyone has bought the new 5G model, you can update the thread with more information.
Model Number: EVR-N29 International Version/EVR-N00 Asia Version
THE GOOD NEWS:
Networks: 2G-4G on original vs 2G-5G SA/NSA on the 5G model
RAM: 8GB identical to the memory size of the China version with 8GB/256GB
ROM: 256GB identical to the memory size of the China version with 256GB/8GB
GooglePlayStore: Included on the original International model vs also included on the 5g model (except the Asia variant which does not include GooglePlayStore)
Charging: 40W Super Charge vs 22W Super Charge on the original.
Wireless Charging: Included (according to unboxing videos online, but not 100% confirmed) vs Not Included on any of the Original variants
Colour: Emerald Green vs 2 colours on the original (Good for some and possibly bad for some)
NOW THE BAD, THE REALLY BAD NEWS:
Battery: 4200mAh vs 5000mAh on the original
Headphone Jack: No Headphone Jack vs the Original with the Headphone Jack and 3.5mm headphones (5g model comes with Type C headphones)
Speakers: Single Stereo Speaker only (top speaker has been removed) vs Dual Stereo Speakers on the original variants
Damn so many downgrades.
Wont be surprised if the the reason is to put 5g antennas.
I wouldn't change the Mate 20 X for the 5g variant for only one reason : Stereo Speakers... Dangg, this phone is loud ! ?
Here is the official spec sheet:

Both the original and the 5g model has stereo sound but on the 5g model they have reduced the number of speakers from 2 to 1 (top speaker missing).

I know, that's why i said i wouldn't change the original Mate 20 X for the 5G variant...
Rumors about Mate 30 X?
An Global 8GB/256GB was kinda nice, but damn i didn't know about the single speaker and no headphone jack. No 5G model for me than. This is indeed more an downgrade.
Please suggestion: buy that no 5g or wait for 30 X?

I'd wait for 30 X (hopefully there will be one). 5G will take at least a year or two to become universal.
High price in Germany, it will be €1000. Also ''NOW THE BAD, THE REALLY BAD NEWS''
https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Panorama-Thema-233992/News/Huawei-Mate-20-X-5G-Release-1293604/
any news if it can be rooted - flashed ? tnx
is the 5G varient going to be any faster than the EVR-AL00 model with 8/256, when it comes to daily use, or is it going to be the same speed but. just be faster when it comes to surfing the web/ downloading content and streaming? Cause if my daily useage is getting improved then I may step up but, if im not seeing an improved when it comes to using the phone other than that then ill just stick to the OG version.

Totally agree. With these spec reductions and the crazy price tag, we are better off waiting for (hopefully) a Mate 30X with Android or ArkOS or whatever it may be called(BTW, I like the new camera setup on the Mate 30 Pro that has been shown on some renders this week)
If Mate 30X is not released in time, I will just wait for Microsoft to (hopefully) release the Surface phone in January with Android compatibility and the Hybrid Windows 10 OS for mobiles. That I think would be the ultimate phone setup. This I think would be the most credible chance for Microsoft to remain relevant in the mobile space again and offer a good alternative to IOS and Android systems.

Daily use (speed etc…) should be the same as the only addition is a 5G modem (simply for accessing 5g SA/NSA bands) and the removal of some really important features such as the 3.5mm jack, reduction in battery size and the removal of the top speaker. If you can live with these then I would say then you can step up but I would say if 5g is not really important then wait until Mate 30x or another alternative comes. Don't forget IFA 2019 is just around the corner and other brands that are aware of Huawei's success with the original Mate 20x may want to tap into its success model. I must say I had my hopes high for the Mate 20X 5g but now my only option is to either go for Mate X as my first 5G phone or wait for Mate 30x which should have integrated CPU with 5G in-built unlike the 2 chips that are separately positioned on the new Mate 20X 5G. Due to the space management, Huawei appears to have made some serious compromises.
Personally, with 5g rolling out, I would want my next phone to be 5g so that I don't have to think about changing my phone for the next 2-3 years at least. Then hopefully 5g and folding phones will be more common.

The biggest problem in the end could be if this variant will result to be impossible to root or flash with lineageOS IMHO...
Is the china al00 5g or not 5g
Also: will there be soon a separate thread in the forum or will it be in common with the non 5G Mate X 20?

The Only 5G Models are:
EVR-N29 International Version 5G Comes with GooglePlayStore/Google Services Preloaded
EVR-N00 Asia Version 5G No GooglePlayStore/Google Services
The above models are only offered in 8GB/256GB RAM/ROM combinations and only offered in Emerald Green Colour and has 5G printed on the back cover.
All other models/variants are NOT 5G. For example; EVR-L29 is the 6GB/128GB for international markets, EVR-AL00 is the China Version with no GooglePlayStore and is offered in 6GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB variants.

Few questions about note 10 plus

Ok, first of all, I am thinking to buy soon between iPad pro 11 or note 10 plus, I know that one is tablet one is smartphone but both has pros and cons.
I live in Europe but if I will buy Snapdragon version will I get updates and warranty in EU or not.
And what about camera quality is this so bad as ppl describing on forum or is just software problem?
Camera is fine. No idea on Snapdragon 10+ warranty is valid in Europe. I suggest you ask a European Samsung store.

The camera is excellent, many people over exagerate their experience with it, some even dare to say that some midrangers make better photos, which clearly denotes the intention of their comments, but, I would get a device intended for my country, mostly due to warranty assurances

You will get updates as normal, however you won't get any warranty in the EU, Samsung only cover warranty for devices bought in a specific region, a Spanish service centre for example will not do repairs on a American device.
Camera is down to preference in my opinion, I had a P30 Pro & although on paper it has a higher megapixel count, I find Samsung's colour algorithm & HDR to be better.
Ok, thank to you all for answer.
Asked Samsung support and they said that no warranty and no updates via OTA if I buy from different region.

Just saying what Samsung support said it to me, and could be true because it's similar with Motorola.

I have a Canadian Note 10 in the UK & have had all OTAs, so like I said originally, not true, I talk from experience

So you think it's worth it to buy from America with Snapdragon? So it's not only security patches but upgrade to android 10 too?

Yes, I got mine on 9.0 Pie & had several OTAs including Android 10 & security patches
My Note 9 was from Australia and I am in Europe and got updates no problem.
I personally would pick an Exynos in Europe and enjoy the 24 month warranty that comes with it.
