Deal: Save $160 on the unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (128 GB, Exynos variant)

If you’re in need of an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 8, you’d normally have to pay about $950 for it - that’s its official US price. Of course, various unlocked Note 8 deals have been around for months, but many of them don’t include US warranty, and all involve the 64 GB version of the handset.

A brand new deal now lets you get an unlocked Galaxy Note 8 with 128 GB of storage space for $819.99, thus saving $160. This is a dual SIM international variant of the phone (model number SM-N950F) that’s powered by Samsung’s own Exynos 8895 processor - unlike the official US version, which uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 chipset. The deal is available via US-based retailer B&H, which offers 1-year warranty with the phone, alongside earphones, a USB power adapter, and microUSB & USB Type-C connectors.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 128 GB is compatible with GSM/LTE carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile, but you won’t be able to use it on CDMA carriers like Verizon and Sprint. Moreover, you may encounter issues with Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE (see the second source link below for details). If you're not bothered by these downsides, you can order the smartphone from B&H via the first source link below.
