Blue AT&T variant?

[AlphaBeepBeep]

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knew how long the exclusivity agreement is for the blue note?

I know it's a best buy exclusive but currently you can only get it at best buy and on Verizon or unlocked. Does anyone know if this is a permanent arrangement or a temporary one?

I know it is also offered in blue for the unlocked model but I heard Samsung never updates it's unlocked phones. Is this true? Thank you.

It could change where they offer the color but most likely not at the moment, unlocked phones get updated it's just after the 4 carriers pass the ok to Samsung.

I have had an Unlocked Note 8 and 9 and my husband has an unlocked S10. We have had no problems getting updates... But what I have noticed from time to time(not always) it is not an automatic update.
I just got in the habit of checking for updates and shutting down my phone for 5 minutes every Sunday night...

Do you get them as quickly as the carrier phones?

 

[mustang7757]

Usually a week or 2 after carriers get them

okay thanks guys. I think I'll go with a black att variant for now. the aura glow didn't do it for me. just looked super smudgey at best buy.

I'll wait and see if there is an att aura blue and if not I'll pull the trigger on the unlocked one.

Not really, but its totally worth it for none of the ATT bloatware!! Stupid Directv crap all over the phone!!!! lol

My unlocked S10e is still on May update. However, unlocked is the only way I'll go. I DID get more timely updates until I switched to the Straight Talk network

Best Buy has the blue att variant.

Not as far as I know. There is no blue AT&T variant. You can't order it online or anything. Samsung rep told me they didn't have one on AT&T for some reason.

Go to Best Buy and ask the Samsung rep that’s there. I talked to them yesterday said I was bummed they didn’t have the blue for at&t. He said yes we do, pulled up Best Buy on his tablet and boom Blue AT&T note 10 plus

I also just double checked the Best Buy app and it’s showing available for pre-order in blue

A little irritated the AT&T carrier Aura Blue shows up for preorder just as my Aura Glow order loses the cancel or make changes option as it's shipping out. Boo on AT&T (I just assume they're to blame).

It would've been my preference if I could've gotten it with AT&T as I decided against unlocked, but I am not losing my preorder gift over it. $150 > a color, just annoyed they weren't on top of it from the beginning of preorders.

Thank you! I really prefer the Blue and thought I had no choice but to get either the Black or White variations!?

I'll definitely drop by best buy to speak to the rep there! Thanks again!

I ordered the Blue from Best Buy for my AT&T line yesterday...
They asked me if I wanted Unlocked or AT&T version. Unfortunately, in order to take advantage of the BoGo, I had to get it locked to AT&T

Resurrecting to ask - did anyone get their hands on a blue AT&T 10+?

I'm having issues with my new phone and frankly if I have to go through the trouble of waiting for an exchange unit, I'm tempted to just return it and order the blue. For a bit it showed a date of October, but now both in store pickup and shipping dates align with mid September.

I don't recall pictures confirming the blue with AT&T exists. Maybe I'm just paranoid given all the BS of the preorders and whatnot with BestBuy. Samsung is also not selling the blue AT&T phone, just BestBuy...

I am holding my breath until Friday... I pre-ordered the Glow and the Blue 10+ (AT&T). The Glow was ready for pick-up on the 23rd. The Blue has had a pick-up date of September 6th since Aug 24th...

The manager at BB checked several locations even neighboring states for it and it kept coming back to 9/6. I have been watching it daily as well. The 'order now' delivery date has changed from mid-October to early September...

I will post back when I have it in my hands!!
