All these questions were answered before & only a few posts deep but..
a) 8mbs ish on T-Mobile or AT&T fine for the things you mentioned.
b) There is no US release.
c) No US release, not sold in the US. Aliexpress or other china sellers are you best bet.

Hey,
I've been following this phone for awhile hoping that it would come out in the USA. So I have a few questions:
a) If I bought it and used it now in the USA, I know I won't get LTE, but does anyone know how "fast" its internet would be. My primary use for internet when I don't have wi-fi are:
- Google Maps
- Music streaming (not a huge deal, but I use it)
- E-mails
- Occasional streaming to my tablet for e-mailing
b) Anyone hear about when it would come out in the USA? I keep seeing the same article that simply says that they *plan* to release it.
c) Where's the cheapest to buy in the USA?
Thanks a lot!

Plays youtube vids great! Loud & gorgeous screen. I've even cast them to a chromecast no prob. The phone is super snappy/fast! It actually makes the S7 feel slow & laggy. I have no idea why there is such a difference, almost the exact same apps are installed on both. So it has to be the hardware or lack of bloatware.
I think I'm getting better reception than my previous Samsung phones got. No LTE but stronger call signal. I'm totally good with the speed it has. If I'm doing anything that needs faster I'm usually near WiFi. Size wise... here is a potato quality usb cam pic of it next to a S7, that's 5.1":

It's really thin too! & have not found a single thing that's put me off of it cuz of it's size. Just be aware of the limited bands.

AnonD-563833, 27 Sep 2016Yes i'm agreed with you but S7 cost 700 euro and note 8 370... moreOh yeah! The price makes up for the 3 missing things. High end camera, wireless charging & nfc. But! I think it's actually a lot snappier than the S7 & Note 7, when I had one. The bluetooth audio is louder & clearer in the car I noticed for some reason. Speaker on the phone is a LOT louder than any phone I've ever had. I've used the phone a lot today, even played some exploding kittens for an hour or so. Battery is at 59% & screen on time is almost 3 hours. Yesterday I think I got 6 hours screen on time from about 60% to 10%.
Just wish I could figure out or disable all the power saving things. Noticed my android wear watch doesn't update a lot of it's info it gets from the phone till I turn on the phone's screen. Pretty annoying!
& of course... Needs root!!!

I'm getting up to 8mps too on T-Mobile. Think I'm actually getting better reception than I was on the S7.
LOVE the screen! My S7 looks like it's for ants now. The fingerprint unlock is crazy fast! EMUI tho... keeps killing my background services even tho they are whitelisted! There are some chinese UI elements that are stuck in chinese. Updates for one, the dialer has a whole page in chinese, just random stuff.
The memory management is really good when it's not killing all the accesory services. Keeps a lot of apps running without reloads.
Camera... is ok. Low light is nowhere near the current Samsung phones. I'd say it's on par with a year or 2 ago. I'll have to take a few crappy pics tonight when it's dark of my dirty livingroom & dogs. :-p
This phone will rock with root! Even better with a generic rom. The phone is crazy fast & much more responsive than the S7. It's really surprising how fast it feels compared to the S7!
