Sure. Right. Whatever.....

IF POSSIBLE: Please try to find some way to NEVER buy a phone in Thailand. Extrapolating from this good advice: NEVER BY FING ....NOTHING.....in Thailand, other than food. Buying consumer products, including phones, etc.... Is like visiting Heartbreak Hotel.... Do not do it! I will..... NEVER EVER Buy any FING thing from Thailand...... Just got ripped off....but...... What was I expecting..... ANYWAY? Do not buy, folks! It's Heartbreak Retail Hotel in Thailand, Baby!

I did. I do not like it.

Dear Folks.... This is really NOT the same post as I posted previously.... Believe me. I have now done much research concerning Google Pricing in NYC, Singapore, Malaysia. First of all.... There IS no Google Store in Thailand. Why? I have no clue... But, I do not care. This is NOT a political discussion. The question is: a. Originally, goaded on by BUBBLEGUM (a man that I AGREE with), I did my best to find a Google phone, the Pixel 9 XL. But, the logistics of getting it to Thailand are just a non-starter. b. In the USA...the price for this Pixel 9 XL with 256GB of onboard storage is Also, I checked the prices in Singapore and Japan. Basically, Google sells this same phone for he same price in all countries....around the globe. Very Slight currency fluctuations might minimally alter the price....but the pricing is the same in the countries I checked. Unfortunately.... This phone is not offered in Thailand. There IS a Google Store in Malaysia...however.... c. So, I cannot wait to ship from some other country. And, I must, instead buy a Samsung phone, for the same amount of money...or slightly less...but a phone which is equal or superior to the Google Pixel 9 XL. d. What are the options, if any? Or, does Google, at this price point, completely blow Samsung out of the water???? e. As for me, this is not just an idle question of minimal interest. My NOTE4's Android Marshmallow OS no longer supports any apps....as of the past few days. No LINE, and no WeChat, and no nothing. f. In case you might wish to voice an opinion concerning which device, and where to buy such device, in Chiang Mai,.... For USD 1,282.00 or less.... Then this might be of interest. g. Due to sudden changes in software, Marshmallow is no longer of any use to anyone, including me. Nothing works on this phone....as of about 48 hours ago. NOTHING. NADA. ZIP. h. Of course, I have not given up on my NOTE4 so easily. Someday, but not now, I will run Linux on my NOTE4. i. However, at this moment.... I am completely lost to the world. Or, thankfully, the world is temporarily free of me.... If you wish to help me get reconnected with my many friends around the world....then.... What is your best SAMSUNG phone suggestion for this price point? Naturally, I anticipate a few spicy comments...as usual...and they are welcome. However, I just hope that there is also a few good and amazing suggestions, intermixed. IMHO.... It is just possible that there are others looking for a SAMSUNG phone, at this price, or slightly less. And, maybe the info you provide might be helpful to other readers, too. Just keep in mind: RAM: 12 to 16 GB STORAGE: 256 GB Basically what you would get with the Pixel 9 XL. So.... Any ideas for a better Samsung phone, for the price of the Pixel 9 XL? Can Thailand give us more than Google can in Malaysia and Singapore....for example? Just asking. Gamma

So then.... Google Phone in Thailand is a no-go.... Therefore..... What is the best alternative for this exact amount of money, or slightly less, in Thailand.....SAMSUNG.....

I think you got things ass-backwards.....

Sorry... But did you not see that the price for 10 TBytes of data storage on Google Drive is USD49 plus change, per month? Or, do you now wish me to convert USD to RUPEES for you? Are you from India, by the way? If so, please do not call me and speak BOMBAY to me.... NOTE4: Also....who do you think I am???? ..... a Google One Support Operator?

Yes. Agree. It's a beauty. Thank you for sharing....

What about LINE and WeChat? This is the big stumbling block...as I see it.... Tks. Other than that....no need for a phone....

Really? Please teach me how.... Tks.... NOTE4: And, please teach me QUICK...because.....either I learn fast...Or.... I must buy a phone, a new phone, in Thailand, which I will...NOT like a bit....

Hi Folks, My phone died.... How can I survive and thrive without a phone. My A55 will be returned to the shop...very soon. After that...I will have no phone. Can I survive without a phone? And, if using just computers, laptops and desktops.... How to do this? I am tired of smartphones.... No doubt, there is a way.... But....not exactly sure how..... Any ideas? Back in the day, we did business without smartphones..... We used faxes and emails.... But, these days, one must still communicate with guys who use messaging.....on their phones. Therefore....just using a computer with good internet connection..... What is the best way to still be able to keep in touch.... WITHOUT a phone of one's own. Is this possible? Regards, Gamma

JESUS, man....just go to your Google One account and click one time....please... I would have thought that you knew how to FING do this simple thing.... But.... Apparently..... NO!

By the way.... Do you have an inkling just how long it takes to move 15 Terabytes from Google Drive to any other account....UNLESS...you have a commercial account with Google? MONTHS or YEARS, even..... IF you have a commercial account....probably faster...but I do not know about that....

I have it split between two accounts. It's cheaper that way. Using Google One.... But, one account's storage I use is not shared with the other accounts.... As you can see.....I have already reduced my storage on one account...by a LOT..... From 15 to 8.15....TB

A LOT.... It's a subscription, as you know.... I had to transfer from FREE storage at the uni to .....lots of money.... But, that is not the half of it. Almost impossible to quickly move data off Google Drive to somewhere else....VERY SLOW.... I have lots of experience with this.... Almost impossibly slow. Anyway...the lesson is.... DO NOT TRUST GOOGLE....EVER.... Google is like GOD..... I am sure you recall the story of..... Never forget... Google, like God....is all powerful. There is no higher power than Google which can hold Google to account....for anything.... Yet.... God can do no evil.

Yes. Until you, just as did I, receive error messages from Android stating that this app, and that app, is making your phone run slower.... Then.... DEATH to the Phone.... For sure.

Just wait.... Issues will be upon you.... Someday....soon....

i agree with you. The only problem for me..... Trying to talk Bombay English to Google Support. If it really comes down to being compelled to listen to Bombay English...then..... I say......FU.....I cannot be bothered..... GOOGLE CUSTOMER SUPPORT SOUNDS JUST LIKE THIS..... Of course.... In the UK..... Most speakers of English will soon sound JUST LIKE THIS..... They are coming...guys..... So.....get used to this BABY TALK.... NOTE4: What an irony.... The British hoped to colonize India....but it is the INDIANS who will, finally, populate the UK..... 555

Does anyone see THAILAND on this list of countries for Google Store? https://store.google.com/regionpicker?pli=1 Personally, I am beginning to get so disgusted with not being able to buy the Pixel 9 XL from Google Store in Thailand that..... I am SERIOUSLY considering going back to using a PAGER. (This is NOT a joke. I can do it. I have plenty of desktops. I hate this FING garbage of trying to find a decent phone for a decent price ....GLOBALLY.....all at the same price. If this is the way they want to treat their customers.... Then.... I will revert to a decent PAGER....I have done it in the past.... And, I can do it again.....) Also...I really dislike spending so many hours on the Google customer-service phone and being treated to Bombay Gibberish..... If Google thinks that I can understand this gibberish...then Google is WRONG.... Why can't Google just add a new language to Google Translate: Bombay English Then, we can select Bombay English to UK English, and so forth..... For sure.... Bombay English is not comprehensible to me..... What a riotous JOKE!

I already have the A55 in hand.... Such a stubborn beast.... I need to go higher.....

Correct. BUBBLEGUM told me I should buy a Google Phone.... I agree. I just need to get the phone from the USA to Thailand..... Because.....FOR SURE.... I will NEVER go to Bombay.... I have already had enough mangled Bombay English to last me a lifetime....

It all depends on Expectations....I guess. Perhaps, I have greater Expectations than you.... Who knows.....

Very sorry.... Hope this is clearer.... This is just the storage. If you mean Main Memory.... Then.... 16GB for the Pro XL

Thank you. But, please check the discount due on my GOOGLE ONE account.... And, then, compare the price quoted on Amazon.... Then you can see. I NEED to buy from Google, direct, using Google Store.....

OK. Thank you. Google seems unwilling to sell the Pixel Pro to me.... Being that I am in Thailand. Also, I have been on the phone with people from BOMBAY discussing this ..... for over an hour. They know a lot about Gin, but not much about customer service, it seems. One can hardly understand their "English"..... for darn sure. Total waste of time talking to Bombay!
