Recommendation on purchasing a S7 Edge Duos SM-G935FD - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Good morning,
I live in France where we cannot buy it directly (as far as I know).
I am interested in purchasing a S7 Edge Duos SM-G935FD, would you mind sharing your experience, I have read about:
- Axiom Telecom (but they would not guarantee me that the phone is indeed a SM-G935FD)
- Ebay from tropical_mobile
- others? (please share)
Any issue? what about warranty? What about additional custom taxes?
thank you
Eric

I live in France also.
I have bought on axiomtelecom.. But i have paid tax when it's arrived....
I advise you order on www.eglobalcentral.fr

And for the warranty I think it's very complicate if you have a problem when you order in foreign country....
With eglobalcentral, i had never paid tax but...no guarantee....

Isn't the regular S7 edge dual sim too? What I've read is that you can either use a microsd or nano sim in the second slot.
How's the duos different?

I bought one from a local store (no warranty) I'm planning on using a DIY to use 2 sims and an SD card.
So far it's exactly the same as G935F (I even used it's firmware to update it to the latest version) (you must read how to do it and not lose dual sim)
So far so good. It's totally worth it.

No it's not. The G935F you can't put dual sim. Only one sim plus SD card. The dual sim G935FD has the option to use either.

That's not true. Regular has 1 slot for SIM and 1 for micro SD, DUOS has 1 slot for SIM, 1 slot for SIM/micro SD.

Oh. I have the FD which is the only model available here in India.
Pretty cool that I can use two sims if need be!

No guarantee? I read: 'GARANTIE 12-24 MOIS Assuré par notre service de garantie interne eGlobal Central'.

maybe in globalcentral but very difficult when you have to send the phone in hong kong...

I come from Germany.I can recommend the seller of this device
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=152014965869&alt=web
Edit: if the link is not allowed (I doubt)
The sellers name is dwi-international-3
Did the same. No import fees because there sending from warehouse in UK. I think they're shipping to everywhere in Europe.
The only negative is, there not speaking English very well and from time to time it takes a bit to get response from them but after all I'm very satisfied to have bought the phone.
It came sealed, well packed and factory unlocked

Buying Galaxy S7 Edge International Variant

Hi there,
I am interested in buying Galaxy S7 Edge. I live in Canada, so i am not interested in buying the canadian variant. My experience with my current Galaxy S4 was horrible. No updates or anything.
If anyone knows website that can ship the Galaxy S7 Edge phone, legit website, please let me know.
I found one called clove . They have it and have the lowest price. But when I went to pre-order, it says there is a samsung region lock on. So If i give them permission, they will open the seal , insert european sim card and make a 5 minute call to region unlock it. Does the Galaxy S7 Edge have this region lock or no? Can someone please confirm?
I prefer to receive my phone factory sealed.
Thank you!

International variant? Do some research first. The exynos chip S7 will be sold all around the world except for USA and China that will have snapdragon. Canadian variant is exynos and if all your interested is in updates, that's pretty silly.

I did my research. Yes, I am aware of that . How is it silly? Explain yourself.
You thinking an international variant will get "updates" quicker than other variants. Why are updates so important? I pre-ordered a bell s7 edge. Canadian variants have warranty. Why would you risk getting an international phone with no warranty?

Canada will receive the Exynos variant which is the same as the European variant, though I'm not sure if it will be available unlocked in Canada. Wether you order from Clove or Unlocked Mobiles your phone will have to go through that process in order for it work in Canada or somewhere else. The only thing you could do to avoid having an opened phone is going to Europe and insert the SIM card and make the 5 minute phone call yourself, or maybe have a European relative do it for you. But if you skip this the phone won't accept your Canadian SIM.

So, it is safe to let Clove open it for the region lock? I saw same model as Clove on ebay, but a reputable seller, but he sells factory sealed phone. It doesn't require region unlock!
Thank you for the help! Appreciate it !
Yeah, i know Canada is getting one. But I want the updates which international variant gets. Canadian will become obsolete thanks to our lame carriers. I'm never buying any Canadian variant phone.

I have never purchased from them but I read good reviews, I'm ordering it from UnlockedMobiles. They do not state for a fact that they do the same thing as Clove but I sent them an email and they said they do it by default for shipping addresses in the US, they do exactly the same as Clove which is insert UK sim then make a 5 minute phone call. I saw some phones on ebay like that one you're telling me and besides that they're way overpriced ($100 more expensive) I honestly don't get how they can get it to work without opening the phone and doing that unless they somehow got the Global american version? dunno if that even exists. Still if you want to spend over $800 on the phone might as well wait until March 11th for B&H to make the phone available http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1225381-REG/samsung_sm_g935_32gb_slv_galaxy_s7_edge_g935.html bear in mind they will offer the Global/International variant but I don't know if it's american or something but B&H is based off NY.
So these phones, are they G930F/G935F or something else.

Send me a pm. I live in Norway and we got some of the best warranty in the world. 8295.- Norwegian krones for S7 Edge unlocked, 5 year warranty. Included gear vr of course, wireless charging and 3 months insurance if you break anything on it(cracked screen etc).

Well if you look up a phone that is already available like the S6 Edge you can find lots of unlocked variants like:
S6 edge+ SM-G928G
S6 edge+ SM-G928C
S6 Edge SM-G925F
S6 Edge SM-G925I
Apparently some are unlocked and some others are Region specific.
Try Odin
ust a quick suggestion. You can use Odin to flash an official firmware of another region as long as it's the same hardware. This doesn't trip Knox or count as root as you're using official Samsung firmware. That way, you could buy a Canadian phone, then flash there international firmware. If there's a problem flash back the Canadian firmware and retain your warranty. Try it with your s4
I got my hands on a Sm-G935F at chrismas time, I was hoping this would be a great layover until the new s8 comes out. It's unlocked and I'm using it on Bell but reception is horrible. The S7 i had before that I handed down to my wife had way better reception. There is no Canadian firmware for the SM-G935F that I can find. Any suggestions to help make it better.

It's available very easily now, I got one for my sister in Pakistan and I have to admit the Coral Blue looks fantastic.
It was the FD variant, for USD 620 here.
I bought it on ebay from the seller tobydeals. Fast delivery and I was surprised about the good customer service. I couldn't find the invoice and dropped than an email. After 24h I received an answer with a link to my invoice. And the phone is amazing. I've never were so satisfied with a phone
I bought the spigen ultra hybrid case. Very thin, good protection, the phone is now less slippery anymore and the best thing is I'm not touching the edges by accident.

LG G6 in the UK - UK model, or Korean model?

Hello once more !
I think I will be getting the LG G6 after all I am really excited about the device and I want to own it. The only thing remaining right now is to decide whether I go for the UK model or the Korean model (DS).
I have looked into the bands, and see that my carrier (vodafone) is fully supported for LTE. So I am thinking, that if I get it from wondamobile, I would also get a 12 month warranty on the device.
I am trying to compile a list of why I should go for the UK or Korean model and this is what I have come up with:
Korean pros:
- HiDac
- 64 on board
- 12 month seller warranty
- 100 pounds cheaper on wonda
cons:
- more bloatware? (not sure)
- antenna issues with EU? (not sure if there are any, just curious)
UK pros:
- High street seller means better service if things go south
- LG UK support
- 100% compatibility with bands without worries
cons:
- 32 on board storage
- regular DAC
Am I forgetting anything, or are any of my pros/cons stupid? If you had to choose, what would you guys go for and why?
Thanks
ok i would say if you care about the warranty get the UK version if not get the Korean version . not band problems hifi dac, if you want dual sim for no extra and no bloatware
(if you want a video search: Dual Sim LG G6 Korean Version - Detailed Walk Through form Tech Zilla on youtube)
I'd say go for a UK model as your pros make perfect sense and far outweigh your cons. Although I don't consider them cons; the on board 32GB is easily sorted with a SDcard and I doubt the DAC would really make one bit of difference to you in everyday use.
Whatever you decide, good luck and have fun.

Thank you both the reason why I am leaning more towards the Korean version is the price difference. In the Korean walk through video however one of the commenters complains about lots of Korean bloatware
Yep exactly. And as you know, without root you're pretty much stuffed.
And I'd still say go for the UK variant if only for the warranty benefits and suck up the extra cost.
I've now got a V20 H990ds Taiwan variant (it was never released in the UK / Europe) so have no recourse to warranty of any kind, but that was a decision I spent a lot of time considering. So I'll be ultra careful with it and hope nothing goes wrong.
This one was unlocked and network free so there's no carrier bloat, and only a little bit of LG crap which I can live with.

I suppose so. In which case I will wait for the price to plummet to where I feel it should be...

Thing is, most likely by the time you think it's plummeted to a level you want to pay there will be a newer phone released that you'll want even more.....

That is true, but I have seen it be a pattern with LG phones in particular.
It already goes for 599 on Vodafone payG. A week more and I am pretty confident I will be getting new or as new on ebay for around 500
Mine cost £562 from Tesco.
There's some ridiculously priced ones on eBay, I often wonder what some sellers are thinking. If I can see their prices are way above what others are asking surely they can see it too.
Anyway if you do get a G6 don't forget to post your thoughts.

I would pay 562 for it!
Is there a special deals page I missed? Can't find one for that price!
Ah. I've just checked their site, the sim free price for the handset is £629.
Iv'e been with Tesco Mobile for several years, that's the price I'm paying which is then split into 24 months (interest free).
I got my H870ds from wonda mobile and it comes with no bloat. The only con is no support for WiFi calling if you plan on using it.
Without a doubt, at least for me, the 64gb storage was the the thing I wanted and an sd card while useful doesn't help if you plan on installing a lot of apps. The hifi DAC is an additional sweetener but if I'm being honest I can't notice a difference with the headphones that I use ( sennheiser momentum in ears)

I was tempted to buy a H870DS myself, but the lack of any meaningful warranty really puts me off. The prices are starting to reflect real world value on eBay at the minute, it won't be long before they are under £500 on a regular basis.
SD can help for apps -- partition it so I chunk is used for Adopted Storage (able to install apps), the rest being mounted as normal external storage. There's a link in one of the threads here, an app that is pretty painless to use.

Yes it can be done but adoptable storage is far from ideal... Lots of cons and definitely nowhere near as good as having a larger internal storage.
Sent from my LG-H870DS using Tapatalk
No disagreement there I use it for things that are in the want-onboard-but-not-often-used category (a fair number of apps in my case). A Class 10 card comes in handy for that.
How many apps are you guys installing? On my 32GB Galaxy S6 I still have 5.4GB free space. Here's my run down;
Images: 2.24GB
Videos: 2.58GB
Audio: 9.13GB
Applications: 1.77GB
I can't see how I'd ever fill the G6, but I've ordered a 64GB Samsung Evo Class 10 card that I'll use for Images, Audio & Video. Unless the LG system takes up more than 20GB there's no way I'd ever fill it.

I want to purchase a phone from UAE(dubai) for use in India.Will it work in India?

The model number shown on the webpage of the retailer is SM-G935FTKDXSG. Will this phone work in India with respect to making calls and also LTE bands for 4G? How do I find out if its unlocked or not? Will VoLTE, Samsung pay work in India? Also, for warranty, is there some way to get Indian warranty?

This phone will work in India with respect to making calls and LTE connection. But VoLTE will not work. Not sure about Samsung Pay because I don't use it.
Also, nothing can be done about the warranty.

Thanks for the reply! Where did you get the phone from, and for what price? Where would you recommend I but it from? Also, are you aware of any other features being different between this phone from dubai and the one in India? Have you faced any problems with the phone till now? And, does the phone have warranty inside UAE or not?
Thanks for the help!

I got the phone from the website souq.com for a pretty low price compared to the market price. Most shops in Dubai usually just increase the price for no reason.
My phone also came with one year warranty (Only in UAE).
My phone is almost 6 months old and I've had no problems at all with the phone. Really happy with it.
Yes you can use it with voLTE and SPay. Just flash Indian firmware on the firmware and you're good to go.

No, there is not a difference. I think it's around 1800 there and for that money it's so value for money. Nothing gets better than this phone at that price. Myself using a UAE phone. Get this model 935FD dual sim version.
And, don't get from souq. Not heard good opinion about them from people who live there.

I'm not in the UAE myself, so will have to ask someone to get it for me. Could you please tell me where to buy it from? souq.com shows price as 1900 AED for 128gb version. Where do I ask my friend to buy it from? And model number is 935FD or SM-G935FTKDXSG? Thanks man!

Hey check this phone out from souq.com:
https://uae.souq.com/ae-en/samsung-...-128gb-4gb-ram-4g-lte-black-pearl-12075981/i/
It comes with a one year official Samsung gulf warranty.
When I got my phone 6 months ago I paid 2000dhs. And I've had no problems at all with my device.

I bought my Nexus 5 from there and used it for 4 years without any issues. Then I bought my S7 edge from there 6 months ago and it has no issues.
My brother bought his LG G3 from there and used it for 4 years without any issues. He bought his LG G5 recently (around the same time I got my S7 edge) and he has no issues with his device whatsoever.
All these devices from souq.com
The site is good as long as you buy from a good dealer. Since anyone can setup a shop on the site, there might be some people trying to sell bad stuff. Just buy from the trusted dealers and you'll be fine.
I don't think Samsung issues international warranty. My home appliances are Samsung branded which doesn't have and one more using the firmware of UAE Volte will definitely not work unless you flash indian package on your mobile that's why I said no.

Yes you can use it with voLTE and SPay. Just flash Indian firmware on the firmware and you're good to go.

Hey are you 100% sure that we can flash Indian firmware on a Dubai model using ODIN?
I am on some custom ROM on my dubai phone but I really want to shift to the latest OREO INS Stock via ODIN. So that I have everything working smoothly including jio VOLTE. Please let me know if you have tried and tested this as I don't want to brick my phone
Also do I have to tick anything special on ODIN? I've been reading about people saying to tick re partition if coming from Dubai model?

Thanks a lot mate! Really helpful! So basically its perfectly fine to buy from Dubai? No difference between the Indian and UAE version?

Just make sure you buy the international variant applicable to any model of Samsung. Experience wise I usually buy my phone from Sohar, Oman and use it in Manila and didn't encounter any issues whatsoever.

Note FE Sim Tray Replacement - what's compatible?

My FE's duos Sim Tray is broken (pretty flimsy), will a Note 7 Sim Tray be compatible? Any other options?
Where to buy? (Looked on ebay and only option for FE is about $18 inc shipping and will take a while to arrive)
Thanks

My tray is cracked as well (right in the middle of the side that goes in the phone 1st).
I ordered this one from eBay on 8/10/19:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/232369587293
It shipped from China & is now somewhere in the US, I'll post my findings as soon as it delivers.

I see you also ordered a note 7 SIM tray. I found one to order from California last night and hasn't shipped yet, I guess we'll see who gets theirs first. ?
My sim tray broke also. Ordered one a month ago it still has not arrived

My order was canceled. Not sure what I'll do.
What's the difference between the single sim tray and dual sim? Isn't it either way going to have 2 slots, since the dual sim Note only lets you have a second sim instead of the micro sd?
(I have the 935 F/DS, what do you have and which tray did you order?)

I also have the FD/Dual-SIM version.
The link to what I ordered is in a few posts back.
The Dual-SIM tray allows for either a 2nd SIM Card or, an SD Card.
Used to at one time, you could trim the SD Card to where you could use both the SD Card & a 2nd SIM Card in the same slot, but, Samsung has blocked that functionality with a software tweak.
IIRC, there are ROMs out there for other Samsung devices that work around the software block to use both. IDK if that tweak is baked-in to any ROMs for the Note FE &/or any Magisk modules available for such.

Went to the link and asks you to choose single or dual sim, I guess you chose the dual?

I had the same need for dual sim tray replacement for my Note FE and found out that the Sim tray of my Dual Sim Note 8 works perfectly. So i ordered a new one from eBay (DUAL Sim Card Tray Micro SD Holder Slot For Samsung Galaxy Note 8) and it works flawless. Here's the item:

THX for the link, much appreciated.
I actually tried a Note 8 Dual-SIM Tray from a 3rd party Amazon seller & unfortunately, it was damaged when it arrived (remarkable,considering it shipped in a legal-sized bubble-wrap envelope).
That option made since to me,& will try your link if the one I bought (Note 7 Dual-SIM Tray) from eBay doesn't pan out.
can i use note 7 dual sim tray on note fe dual sim?
