Note 9 specs?

[MysticalDreams]

I know it is kind of a strange question...
Specifically looking for the internal storage sizes.
I went to **** Buys today looking at the Note 10+. I asked what kind of deals they have. She gave me a rundown and asked me if I was trading in a phone. I said an unlocked note 9 512 gig... She came back and offered me under $250 for it. No cracks, scratches or issues.
She said if it was 1TB it would be up to $700 for the trade in, most likely about $500...
Say what?!?! Samsung valued it at $600.

Am I missing something? All my searches come up with the 9 only having 6 gig ram/128 or 8gig ram/512

Thanks

Yep I got the max at 512GB. Never was a 1TB.

Thank You!!
I knew she was full of it. Just needed to make sure I wasn't going insane

You're not. They advertised 1 TB when combined with Samsung's 512GB microSD card that wasn't out at the time of launch

You're not missing anything. She is on crack.
I had a "sales rep" at best buy tell me that the smaller galaxy watch could send and receive calls, like the larger model. Research shows that he was WRONG! (eyes looking up)

I do shop quite a bit at Best Buy, but I find it goes much better if I know the answers to my questions before I go to the store. Most of the employees, while nice people, have no clue about the products they are selling. I also make sure I know about the deals before I go in as well. Then if something other than what I expect comes up, I know right away.

Bottom line is, do your research upfront. Don't expect anyone else to know anything. Actually that applies to most things in life...lol.

I typically don't like to go to **** Buys but they are typically the only game in town since CompUSA & circuit city closed...
I really only went in to look and play with the Note 10/10+ to decide if I wanted to upgrade.
I also wanted to know what type of trade in they are offering for the Note 8or 9.
My husband wants me to keep the 9 as a backup but I am still on the fence.
Do you have an opinion? and why. I should say:
A) I haven't really needed a backup
B) the price difference doesn't make or break my decision
C) No one else uses my backups (family each has their own backups)

That's funny. I worked at CompUSA for 9.5 years up until the doors closed. We would always go across the street and stump beat buy employees for fun. It was easy, lol.

I didn't ask dude any questions. He jumped out and told me not to buy the smaller Galaxy Watch because it doesn't send or receive calls.
I knew better, but I was only there for handling it. I usually buy stuff like that on swappa, where I got a NIB S3, for the MST, which I use all the time.

You could edit the first post. No need to post a correction in an additional post.

Calling them **** Buys was a keyboard Issue too or NOT lol
But I saw the forum *** is out anyway

Me too. More for the 8GB RAM. 256GB storage would have been more than enough.

Yeah I wanted the space, I don't get service a lot of times so I can't rely on the cloud.

Honestly, nobody really needs to upgrade from the 9 to the 10. Heck, I still have my Note 8 and I threw the Sim card in it a few days ago to see how it was doing. Still runs like new.

I have waited on getting the Note until October/November the last couple years but with these trade in deals, I'm tempted. I have a Pixel 3 that I paid $450 for and Best buy or Samsung will give me $600. Seems like I should do it. I'd probably keep my Note 9 around though, at least for a while. Maybe finally get rid of the 8.

Yeah kept my note 9 , trading in my pixel 3xl which was hard but one of my phones had to go and for the trade in of 600.00 hard to resist. Still looking forward to pixel 4xl and got the pixel 2xl as back up .

Same here. Love my Pixel 3, but with the 4 around the corner I'll live with it I have the Note 9 and Note 8 available to put towards it if I decide to get it.

I am going to **** Buys tomorrow... I am Pre-Ordering the Note 10+ and getting either the Note 10+ or the Note 10 for my MiL with the Buy one Get one Promo AT&T is running :/
I really wanted an unlocked phone but since my MiL is due for a much-needed upgrade (S7 edge) I can't pass up the deal.
My only true debate now is if I get the blue from **** Buys or if they **** me off enough while I am there just going to AT&T and getting either the Glow or Black.

Side Note. I don't understand why Samsung makes these phones in different colors and then sell the cases that cover up the color!! I would get the flip case if they offered it in a clear backing!!

 

[Cletis169_1]

Anybody used the upgrade program from Samsung. I signed up when I bought my Note 9.

And why does the most expensive unlocked 512GB Note 10+ only come in black??
