Canadian galaxy S9/plus thread (waiting room)

[mrnovanova]

Its this time of the year guys! This thread is to discuss pre-orders across all stores and providers in Canada. To compare notes and ask ROBELUS related questions. I personally pulled the trigger for an unlocked (no subsidy) phone through best buy, delivery scheduled for the 16th and then I went back in an through Telus the pick up is on the 9th for some reason so I pulled the trigger on both. What did you order from where? What did you select? Pick up or delivery? Please share.

I'm waiting for benchmarks between sd845 and exynos, in order to decide on which one to pick. I'm probably going exynos route again, shame we Canadians get slammed with the Americans, even if we don't use CDMA networks anymore.

I wish I had the self control to be able to wait. Lol. I gotta have it on release date.

Which color are you getting? I wanted the blue color, pink is a bit too much for me.

I thought Best Buy did not do this anymore.
I thought you need to buy a carrier subsidized device ?

I am not going to the S9 anyway, I just do not want another device where I will need to wait for at least a year after Android P is released to get it, also I do not want Samsung Bloat you know like Bixby.

...but I am curious will check the Best Buy website, sure enough for only $1100, plus tax and shipping I can get an unlocked device sent to my home. Thanks for pointing this out.

Im not 100% if i will get one but for sure but if i do it will be exynos just like my note 7 and S8 plus.

I would not waste my my money on the locked down crapdragon version.

Plus the only colour i like is titanium grey and i doubt we will get it in Canada.

Ill buy local from a store here in the GTA or from PDA plaza if i get one.

64GB so far. No mention of the 128gb variant. Maybe sometime in the future. Pre-order gets you the 150$ bill credit. I know it does for Robelus not sure about Freedom tho.
