Guys! If anyone got Dubai G6. Please answer questions if possible:
Contents of Box like accessories
32 or 64 GB as LG don't mention that on box
Quad DAC or wireless charging.
Network Lte band support
Only thing I know is it is made in Korea.
Thanks in advance.
Assuming it's actually the UAE version, not an imported one, then it's H870s. It's 32GB with a Quad DAC and no wireless charging. Bands are B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,20. I'm not certain about the bands though.
How can I delete this thread? Product is no longer available with seller.

Hi, I know that G928F is european and G928C is Asian. However, what exactly is the difference? I'm asking because previously the processors used to be different. However, Samsung have put the same processor in all of the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.
P.S. Which GB did you get? 32GB or 64GB?

Mainly the Modem and the bands it supports is what's different between these models, at times companies also include Country specify features like LG G3 had TV antenna for Korea version, but that's rare. Apart from that if you buy it from a specific carrier they also might some say, for instance Samsung pay not working on Verizon models.
So, for the most part it's almost identical except modem.
I got 32 as 64 isn't available in my country (yet?) But boy I love this phone, killer looks and display with an awesome camera.

let me know
I just got G928G, and on it's box there's a sticker "American SIM card only". Does it mean that it wouldn't work in Ukraine?
So recently I bought the HTC U ultra International version from amazon(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X928N4G/ ). No Go. Its DOES NOT HAVE THE US or CANADIAN LTE BANDS 2, 4, 12 and 17. So anyone trying it buy it D O NOT buy it if you want to use it in the USA. Also the seller has misquoted the bands on the website. It is ALSO DUAL SIM.
The only one on Amazon that has the US LTE bands is the following. It is the SINGLE SIM MODEL. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N35POJA). I asked the seller and IT WILL WORK. So anyone buying be careful and learn from my experience.
They also charged me a 20% restocking fee for the international version saying i did not verify the correct bands before buying. If your stated LTE bands are incorrect to begin with, how can you even make that argument? Guess ive my work cut out contesting that restock fee.

Inform amazon let them deal with it, very straight forward. Misinformation is not your fault, the cheek.
I've never had an issue getting a refund thru amazon uk.

Hope you get it sorted out.
I wonder if its truly a single sim model for the US market? I've got a Taiwanese model, and it is dual sim, but the second sim slot is a combo slot with microSD. since the "single" sim model also supports microsd, I wonder if the same components are actually there. would be interesting to see.
Hey OP. Not sure if you've sorted out the issue yet? I've got intl. version, with model as U-1u. Do you (or anyone else) know what the Single SIM version model number/name is?
Hi folks, I browsed this forum a few times and finally decided to make an account after all the wonderful information I've read here.
I realize there's probably no simple way to answer this question. But I'd like to buy the "best of the best" S8 I possibly can. I'm interested in the S8 specifically and not the S8 Plus. It's a phone I intend on keeping for a while, so long as nothing catastrophic happens. As such, I'm open to all possibilities.
I'm based in the USA but I would like to have the one with the most available bands to get the maximum availability on networks while traveling. I read on another thread that so far there are ways to unlock the bands in the firmware after flashing the Canadian firmware to the device. (I think this was referring to the Snapdragon North American version). But features such as Wifi Calling on T-Mobile won't work after that.
Because of carrier locks, it appears that certain models of phones only have certain bands enabled depending on which provider they were released for (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc). This is a bit of a problem, if for example, I wanted to use an AT&T phone on T-Mobile, or wanted to pop in a local SIM while traveling.
I'm presently on Verizon, but I'm not under contract and so I'm willing to switch to perhaps T-Mobile, AT&T, or whatever other GSM carriers are available. As such, CDMA capabilities aren't really a major issue for me. It would be nice, but not a deal breaker. I also get conflicting info where some sellers say their unlocked phones won't work for CDMA carriers; while others claim that the unlocked phones have all the CDMA capabilities unlocked as well.
I'm wondering also, if the Snapdragon or Exynos is preferable? The general consensus among developers seems to be that Exynos is preferable to Snapdragon when it comes to future mods, rootability, etc. What is the downside to Exynos?
Lastly, what do you think of the DUAL SIM version? My main reason for holding off on my purchase is debating whether I should get the dual SIM version or not. It would be a nice feature to have, for a phone I intended on setting up and keeping for a while. The only hesitation as far as this goes, is warranty coverage issues.
Would the international version have all the bands enabled? I've also read the Chinese and South Korean versions have 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, which is pretty sweet.
Thanks!

Did you get your answers? I have same don't like doubts, specially related to processor and dual chip tech.

The only "downside" to the exynos version is the lack of CDMA support. It is superior in pretty much every other regard.
If you're considering a G950U.. I believe the AT&T model covers the most LTE bands. The Verizon version lists TDD LTE bands if those are useful to you. (But lacks other important bands)
To your question, the G950F/FD is likely your best bet.
Where do I found a list of models? I saw that in Brazil we have SM-G950, but what I see is here is only SM-G950F

I guess if you go with the exynos variant you will miss near fully playable gamecube/wii emulation. The exynos does other stuff better tho.
For the dual SIM variant, they have also just released a 6gb/128gb version, model number is SM-G9550. That's the best one you can get for the dual SIM variant: http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/business/business-products/mobile-device/smartphones/SM-G9550ZKGTGY.
Only downside is no Band 66 support though if you are planning to be on T-Mobile.

Hi, where can i buy the S8 Plus SM-G9550 (128GB, Snapdragon, 6GB Ram)?
thx in advance
Hi mate iv always preferred going for a G9xxF/FD version since They are Exynos in-case of Root or mods Exynos gets them first and if u get a FD added advantage of the dual sim. Good Luck
Hi codex1998, i don't need root and mods. My opinion is that the SM-G9550 is the better and most powerful phone.
Hi everyone, how about official firmware updates for different models ?
Is there any difference which models receives updates, which not ?
Some of my friends use different models and here is my statistic based on their phones:
s7 edge FD (dual sim): Android 7.0, last update August 2017,
note 8 (I believe its F model): 7.1 - August 2017,
s8 FD (dual sim) - 7.0 - Oct 2017,
2x s8+ FD (dual sim) - 7.0 Oct 2017.
What are the differences between those two in terms of stock software?

Right do you really mean the Korean version or do you mean the H870DS as the two are different.
The Hong Kong Asian H870DS is much the same as the European model albeit it has dual SIM support and is currently unable to have it's bootloader unlocked.
It has 64gb and Quad Dac.
The Korean model is different in that it comes with a number of specific Korean apps that many of can neither be disabled or uninstalled. Only a few can be disabled. Likewise the dialer on the Korean model will show Korean characters below standard numerical digits, it also has dual clock on the Lock-screen because it consistently thinks it is roaming, so you have to use a work around to disable the dual clock from showing Korea. It also can have trouble with networks and international dial assist numbers as again it presumes the user is Korean and roaming, even with another country network SIM.
There are also parts of the GUI that remain in Korean such as sounds in settings.
Essentially the Korean model is NOT the one to get if you want clean software or not have a headache.
---
But you can get the Asian H870DS model as it does not suffer from those issues and comes with same language support and without the problems the Korean model has.
However if you plan to unlock the bootloader in the future, the EU H870 model would be a better buy, but software wise it's much same as the H870DS.

I need to have dual SIM support and 64gb. On auction which I'm following is written that, this is model H870DS and has DAC. I don't want to get that Korean software. How to check if it's the Asian model?

The H870DS is not the Korean model so you will not get the Korean software.
The model number for Korean model is G600L
If it's listed as H870DS you will be getting Taiwan/Hong Kong version with software much like the EU H870 but with the dual SIM, extra storage and Quad Dac.

Hi all,
I'm about to buy a G6 too and wonder which model to choose...
HK model (H870DS) is very interesting since we got double data storage and QuadDAC (and dual SIM but don't need it) for less than the European H870 model.
But...there's a but (and a big one), i'm a Nexus fan (Galaxy Nexus->Nexus 4->Nexus 5->Nexus 6->Nexus 6P->back to Nexus 6 cause of 6P battery issue) so i like stock Android and all flashing things. And H870DS bootloader can't be unlocked (and will never be from what i read about previous Gx models).
Recent Android interfaces/overlays are much lighter than before but I think I'll miss the possibility to flash all the things (did you say "flashaholic").
I think i could find a H870 in mint condition for the same price of a new H870DS but i would have full 2 years warranty.
Since we now have official TWRP, development will surely grow for G6.
Do you think Custom ROMs will handle well specific G6 HW like 18:9 screen ratio or Dual camera ?
Hi there, I really want to get the SD instead of Exynos... I see clear advantages to it.
So the 2 main questions are,
How do you get a SD if you live in Europe?
Will the phone signal work?
Thank you!
As long as the phone is unlocked and has the necessary bands for your carrier then it will work
So far I was able to find the SD version only on EBAY. Sellers look very reputable with more than 10k positive reviews and they ship from China apparently. I just ordered one so will let you know my experience (512 GB version, black).
The majority, if not all, of the EMEA has full GSM coverage.
So, depending on your region, you'll certainly have connectivity but it all depends on what bands your carrier offers.
From my experience, 2G/3G/3.5 (UMTS) bands are plentiful.
On 4G, some carriers only have one compatible band whereas others have 5 or more.
