@Bezbozny The only 256 GB version I see on Wonda Mobile is the N9500 which is Snapdragon version. We're all looking for 256GB Exynos/Duos.
Note 8 256GB & Dual Sim?
- Thread starter lhughes
- Start date
Sorry but in the topic title there s nothing mentioned about the processor....
I am looking for just a note 8 256gb dual sim and I don't care at all about the processor (as a matter of fact I prefer the snapdragon).
Should I open another topic?

Ah! No need to apologize, or re-locate @Bezbozny! It's just the 256GB N9500 is available from many sources and has been for some time. Most of us are trying to find the Exynos version which has not been released anywhere in the world that we know of - so we're glued here looking for a glimmer of hope. But some, like you are looking for the Snapdragon version and that has been a topic of discussion in this thread. Cheers!
If a person needs the 256gb version and dual SIM cards, just buy the 256gb Korean version and flash one of the 950F-based ROMs, and buy one of those dual-SIM adapters on eBay. I don't know if you'd need a 2nd IMEI for the 2nd slot but other than that you should be all set.
LOL I don't know about the others but I am not laying out that kind of cash to apply a bush fix to my phone!
appreciated, just offering that there is indeed already a solution it would seem. Also, given this forum it's probably safe to say that the majority of active XDA users are more than willing to flash various ROMs, kernels, custom recovery etc, and it would seem that the Exynos development is all being done with 950F-based firmware anyway, so changing the SIM/SD card holder is not much of a 'bush fix' IMO, but to each their own.
I have no use for 2 SIM cards at the same time so I can't vouch for this, but the hardware is identical between the European 950F and Korean 950N (IE the Korean model has the second SIM slot despite being sold as only a single SIM device), and I can say that flashing a 950F-based ROM on the Korean model installs the necessary software components for a dual-SIM setup.
This is interesting - do you have references to source(s) to go with this statement?
I took my 950N apart thinking something was wrong with it. Can I use myself as my own reference? There are pictures in one of these threads...
ah I made a thread about it, nobody ever replied

- DNS (hosts) level ad-blocking w/ VPN at the same time (I already have Adguard Premium, it installs itself as VPN, I can't use my VPN application at the same time)
- Viper4Android or other sound level modification for all apps
- Disable camera shutter sounds on those regional variants, where the Disable Shutter Sound in application doesn't work
- Modify notification area/status bar/network speeds/clock beyond what Theming allows
- Modify built-in camera features to HDR 4K, no recording limits, increase bitrates, etc
- Greenify
- Change the ugly Nougat blob emoji to something more legible
Yes, ordinary users may well manage without rooting. For me, it's the icing on the cake.
That's why I want to root.

Samsung Note 8 (256GB/6GB) SM-N9500 6.3" Dual SIM GSM Unlocked International Model, No Warranty, NO CDMA (Deepsea Blue)
SM-N9500 is not Exynos - it is Snapdragon.
I'm starting to wonder if this phone is ever going to be released? I messaged Samsung India again and got the same response as two weeks ago - no ETA is known at this time.
FYI, on my Axon 7, dual Sim with shared 2nd SIM SD card slot. I did a trick other pointed out. I basically heated my SIM card and removed the contacts from the surrounding plastic SIM card, then used some double sided tape to tape it the the underside of the SD card. This allowed my to use both in the same slot.
Just have to take a little time to adjust and align it correctly. Of course you can no longer use that SIM in a regular SIM card slot.

They do, but not sure about which bands exactly.
The N9500 does support CDMA because it is used in China, but no guarantee it'll work on Sprint or VZW.

I very much doubt it is genuine. It's not a store, but an individual who has no ratings and only one to sell. There is no model number mentioned, either. It is probably Snapdragon, whatever he says.a store in Dubai is offering Dual Sim/Exynos/256GB N950FD as available on stock.

Looks like wondamobile.com no longer has the Exynos 256Gb single sim. The previous link now goes to a 404 Page not found.
Got my phone from here.
Its Dual Sim
Snapdragon
Blue Color
256GB
Model- SM-N9500
Origin- HongKong
Keyboard is crap. Its got Chinese icons on the top number bar (Even in English Language) (Using Swiftkey now)
Phone was brand new & perfect.
Had Radio builtin (Wasn't Expecting that) (Reception is average. U need plug in ear phones though)
Smart Caller built in Call App ( Tells You about Spammers or finds popular company names without you saving the number. Worked really well.)
No Bloatware except the usual Microsoft office and two other apps. (You can uninstall most- Not. Disable so u can free up space if you done need them)
Samsung Pay will work but you will get Hong Kong Chinese offers (Not Local)- Work around ( if you have a Samsung watch you get local offers on it)
BUT Its a hit or miss here. Sellers are dodgy. I usually only buy if the seller is DOD UAE (or something) but even they will waste months of your time if you have any issue before replacing any expensive item (Speaking from past experience) (Note 4) & (Sony Z5)

How much did it set you back?
And dod_uae is the official Souq Warehouse/Seller, just FYI.
Mobile-store, iGadgetStore, dod_uae and then official retail stores that have Souq accounts are legit.
Buy from anyone else, with extreme caution.
