So I purchased a brand new Note 9 from Dicksmith 2 weeks ago and it was only shipped to me mid last week. During that time, I had a trip to the USA and picked up a Pixel 3 XL.

 

I've decided to stick with the Pixel 3 XL so will be selling the Note 9.

 

The phone is brand new and unused. It's the SM-N9600 Snapdragon model. This model supports all NZ networks and all frequencies, and benchmarks have shown that both CPU, GPU, and battery performs better than the Exynos version available in NZ: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13582/samsung-galaxy-note9-performance-review-snapdragon-vs-exynos

 

It also has dual SIM support which the NZ model doesn't have.

 

I purchased it for $1099 + $32 shipping. Dicksmith have since increased their price back to $1219.

 

I'm just looking to recoup my cost so will let it go for $1131.

 

EDIT: I have the invoice from Dicksmith and can share it with whoever buys it for warranty.

 

I also have a brand new official Samsung cover for it which I'll sell for $30.

It fully supports all networks in NZ including LTE.

See: https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/nlZ1t4j/samsung-sm-n9600-galaxy-note-9-duos-td-lte-cn-128gb-samsung-crown/new-zealand

Yes, phone is in English.

I ended up opening the box and tried it out. I had it running both a 2degrees and Skinny SIM.

 

Phone works flawlessly on both networks.

 

Since it's now not considered "brand new" anymore, I'm willing to part with it for $999. Phone is in perfect condition.
