I'm in Asia on a business trip and want to get the S8 Plus 64GB (G955FD) in coral blue to use it in the UK when I travel back and the phone is £80 cheaper in Asia from official Samsung store but was wondering is the G955FD an international version and what is the difference between that and the S8 Plus model available in the UK?
D is for dual SIM, so you basically get the same, but the microSD tray is actually a hybrid nanoSIM-microSD tray

I live in the UK and am hoping to buy an S5 Duos to use on Vodafone 3G/4G. Has anyone used this phone in the UK and can confirm that both SIM's will work fine here?
Also, I've seen Lollipop is available for the duos via Sammobile but there's no UK or USA version. Can anyone confirm that one of the Lollipop firmwares has English as an installed language?
Anyone? There must someone using this phone in the UK? :good:
can confirm ok
Hello I just got my middle eastern s5 duos off eBay for about £300.00. I have an ee broadband 4G in sim slot 1 and a three sim in sim slot 2. It originally came with kit kat and I was informed of an update to lollipop tho it did mentire I would loose about 970 mb of sforage space. Works like a charm and the fd version is comparable with all 4G UK signals too. Also yes it's got English language too. Only thing to note is Samsung will probably not honour the warranty as it's meant for the use not uk

That's great, thanks for the info. Have now ordered an FD from Hong Kong, expect it will take some time to get here!

Hi Guys,
I am thinking of buying the galaxy S7 Edge from UAE as it is around 200$ cheaper than here in India.
But the UAE phone has no warranty, is the 200$ worth the save?
Secondly in UAE they have the Galaxy S7 Edge G935F and the Dual sim version G935FD?
Both of them have the same price, I wanted to know which phone shall I buy?
Also in terms of updates will I receive updates with the G935FD which is the southasian version or will I receive updates with the G935F which is the international version?
Samsung has some weird policy of talking on the phone for 5 minutes in the region you purchase it from before you can unlock it, since the G935FD is the southasian version will it be unlocked?
Are all the specs similar on both?
My primary concern is that the phone should work in India and should receive future updates!
Your thoughts and inputs would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
I may have this wrong,
But i thought the D model was Dual Sim!
If you want a Dual Sim i..e you want to have 2 sim cards in your device at one time.
Then you will want to purchase this device.
if you will only have one Sim in your device and you will not have the intention to use another Sim Then you have your answer on the model you want.
I cannot comment on the software version, Would need to check Hardware specs, If there the same i would imagin the Software updates will be the same.
Just the D model will have an addiional chipset to support 2 sim cards
Both devices use Exynos 8890
But different Cell Signals:
TD-SCDMA, TD-HSDPA Are supported on the D model.
Same situation
is there any problem of carrier lock and Sim card not working? With both the models
Please reply
I checked all reputable places, cannot find a G935F or G935 (not sprint, GSM) to buy. Any suggestion?
Note - needs to be fast shipping to the New York City area.
Thanks,
JD
Buy the model that ends with fd. Check newegg, tech24 or ebay.?
Buy mine...https://swappa.com/listing/MXQ330/view
Ebay has quite a few. Got my dual SIM S7 flat from there.

Hello guys,
I want to buy Galaxy S10+ in UAE for use in India.
Can someone please tell me what features will I get more or less in the device purchased in UAE compared to the one purchased in India?
I will purchase it directly from a retailer, so there won't be any contract with any service provider.
Regards,
Babloo

you will need to flash INS firmware for use in india because features like samsung pay and others wont work.

Each model of the S10 has only 3 variants
U = North American snapdragon
F = Exynos
SD = Chinese snapdragon
Both india and UAE have the Exynos variant, which they are identical, same bands, same layouts, same everything.
As pointed, you will need to flash the indian firmware for any samsung app to work properly, but it is not a complicated process nor does it trigger warranty / knox / etc
Ok. When I got my S8 from UAE I went to Europe for a trip and had to format the phone there with a European simcard... I didnt flash anything and all Samsung worked as if its purchased from Europe. I mean places in the contacts app. The European theme store which supported purchased items and by that time it was only free stuff available in UAE store. Samsung pay worked etc
Are u guys sure he has to flash India software?
