Hey all,
I have a Note 8 SM-N950J, the Japanese variant, and I'm curious about the hardware differences between it and the US unlocked version.
For those who don't know, most Japanese Android phones come with a whole slew of odd Japan-specific hardware features. This particular Note 8 has a Wimax 2+ radio in it, a TV tuner, and an integrated FeliCa NFC antenna, among other changes. I suspect that, as part of these significant changes, it's also missing a few things most of the other variants have, like MST for one...
My question is, how might one go about checking *exactly* what's different on this phone compared to, say, the SM-N950U? My motivation in this, ultimately, would be to see if I can get Samsung Pay working, although I highly doubt I can, as it crashes every time even when I've got the store region set to US. I know it has a Snapdragon processor, and someone in the root thread said that the SamFAIL method works for this variant as well, although I haven't tried it.
Anyone got any thoughts? I'm quite willing to post screenshots and do just about anything else, if anyone's curious.
