发帖数: 282 | 1 We all know that the new Galaxy note 3 is the talk of the town but some
people whom want the phone but don't want to get roped into a contract will
purchase an unlocked version of the phone. But before you buy the unlocked
version their is some information you need to know about the different
models of the phone(s). The Galaxy Note 3 was released in many country's on
every continent. Although anyone can buy the phone from any country; each
model was made to work on different frequencies. In this review I am going
to go over each model of the Galaxy Note 3 and the services recommended for
use with them.
But First everyone may be asking about the Region lock attached to the
phones. Yes before the phones are unlocked their are region locks attached
to the different models forcing them to only accept SIM cards from their
designated country's. But after unlocked the Region locks are removed. Does
this mean that all models will work everywhere, no, but I will be going over
if the phone will work in your region after the locks are removed in the
model descriptions below.
Second the different levels of service. Depending on your area and the
service towers available their you will get different letters to indicate
service level and the speed you're getting. Below are the most common levels
and their average speeds in order for your reference during the Model
review.
1. E = EDGE/GSM: When getting this sign you are getting the weakest signal
for your phone but are still getting non-roaming signal for general calls
and text. I advise if this is your areas mane signal strength you have a Wi-
Fi signal avalible for the data internet conection.
2. G = 2G/GSM: When the G is showing you are getting remedial signal but
still pretty strong. Calls and Text's will be flawless and you will be able
to do general internet surfing but you will not be loading any HD videos or
have perfect connection to online only game's. With this I still recommend a
Wi-Fi signal in your house if you plan on using the internet in these areas.
3. H = 3G-/HSPA: This signal is classified as 3G but runs a little slower
depending on how close you are to the main tower. If you're getting a good
amount of bars with signal will do flawless calls, text's, and you'll be
able to comfortable able to surf the internet and load videos at a max of
480P (360P recommend for best result).
4. 3G = 3G+/GSM/HSPA: This is the full 3G speed and will be also flawless
with calls, text's, and be able to stream video like netflix(Recommended
460P), play online games, and surf the internet fast and easy.
5. H+ = 4G-/GSM/HSPA+: This is the signal that most first generation 4G
phones use. Perfect for all light movie watchers, and small business people.
Flawless calls, text's, and the internet is speedy. H+ although fast has
been known to be faulty in a lot of area's and was quickly replaced. If you'
ve got this signal it's still 4G but it's kind of like the EGDE version of
4G.
6. 4G = 4G/GSM/HSPA+: This is the 4G signal that most 2010-2012 4G phones
use such as the Galaxy S series (Sept for the S4) Although this is a very
fast and reliable it is not LTE but for the average person whom just watched
movies and plays online games on their phone this signal is more than
enough to give you a crisp fast feel and load HD movies (720P Recommended
but not limited to.)
7. 4G LTE = 4G+/GSM/LTE: This is the current signal that everyone is going
after. It is lighting fast and is the most reliable for non-stop videos,
gaming, and downloading.
Now for the common phone models:
1. SM-N9000 3G = International/Made for Travelers: This is the international
model. This one has a dual quad core processor running at 1.9 GHz Cortex/1.
3 GHz A7. The reason for the processor being change is because this phone is
meant to work everywhere their is a GSM signal and kicks threw the
different processors to maximize signal strength. The N9000 CAN NOT to 4G
speeds of any kind. This is due to most country not having 4G signal and
that a lot of county's run on different cell frequencies. By removing the 4G
radios this phone can pick up way more cell frequencies then the other
models. This phone is not made for people looking for Data speed this is
made for travelers whom want a reliable way to have cell service no matter
where they are. Don't despair about the data or processing speed this phone
still has Wi-Fi connection available and can breeze though 3D games; you
shouldn't even notice a speed difference when doing tasks.
2. SM-N9005 4G LTE = European Model/International: This model contains the
regular 2.3 GHz Snapdragon Processor. This phone unless unlocked is Region
locked to only European SIM cards, after unlocked their is no region lock.
Although this phone is an LTE phone it can only get LTE frequencies while in
Europe. When you take this phone out of Europe it will get international
signals but will not get LTE, when this phone is in the USA is will get H+ (
Reference above) signal maximum.
3. SM-N9002 3G = China Model/Select Counties: This model is not LTE or 4G
compatible. This was the First generation of the Note 3 released and is
considered the Beta. With all the same hardware as the LTE version this
phone will still preform flawless tasks.
4. SM-N900W8 4G LTE = China Model/Select Counties: This model will only get
LTE in select counties and I advise you check with your service provider to
see what signal you will be getting. This model is completely subjective as
to what frequencies of LTE you will be about to get. Example: Imagine you
are in Europe and you are in a city and get LTE. Then you move to another
city and you lose LTE this is because the first city runs on an LTE
frequency the the phone can get but the second city although may offer LTE
to most cell phone; does not offer LTE on a frequency this phone can't run
on.
5. SM-N900A 4G LTE = USA AT&T/Worldwide: This phone is International but you
need to consult AT&T to see if you city or county can get LTE service or
not. This phone once unlocked will work on Straight Talk, Solavei, T-Mobile,
and any other GSM based network. Note: When using T-Moble, Solavei, or
other services that piggy-back on the T-Mobile towers you can get LTE
service but depending on your area you may not get 3G. If you live in a 3G
area consult your carrier to see is the frequencies for 3G match up with
this phone. (This review for the AT&T model can change at anytime due to AT&
T's bootloader)
6. SM-N900T 4G LTE = USA T-Mobile: This phone when unlocked can get all USA
frequencies. Example: You will have no problems using a AT&T SIM card with
this phone and even get 4G LTE threw any service whom provides is. The N900T
model is the most versatile model out of them all and if you plan on
getting one I recommend going to a T-Mobile store and purchasing this model
outright. Unlocking this phone is easily done threw calling T-Mobile and
even using YouTube for an unlocking video.
So out of all the models the N900T is the most versatile, but unlike the
N900A (The second most versatile) the N900T is harder to find online already
unlocked so you will most likely need to buy if from the store and unlock
it yourself. | w*****o
