Hi
I am in China at the moment and was looking to get a Nexus 5 from Hong Kong. My questions are:
1. Will I be able to use the HK version or the N5 in China?
2. Will I be able to use the HK N5 in the UK?
3. Are any N5 phones region locked such that they have to be activated in the country of purchase before being used in another country?
If there is no problem, then I will buy from HK as the price is 3588 HK Dollars for the 32GB version which equates to around £280 (saving £60)... I am thinking of getting 2 so the savings will add up.... but only if it works in China and the UK as I travel between these countries a lot...
Thanks in advance....

You should be fine...
Unless there is a variant of the Nexus that we don't know about in China.

I want to buy the OPO but my throwback is the country I live in, Bangladesh. As you know, 16 countries are officially available to the supply of OPO and Bangladesh is not listed on it. Surprisingly one of the dealers in Bangladesh is selling OPO at a rate of $488.75 (US Dollar) for the Chinese Version.
So my query is that is there any difference between the Chinese version and the international version or are they both identical. And why is the Chinese version so widely available where as the International version is as bad as extinct?
Anyone Help? Thanks in advance xD

Thanks. Could you tell me if I'm going to be able to use LTE and 3g in USA or in countries in Europe? I'm a student and I'm going to change countries for better education in a year. So I need to know if LTE and 3G will work properly on major carriers in USA or in countries in Europe. Thanks for your help earlier though, really appreciate the time you taken to do the researches for my help. Thanks.
Hi I was going to buy the SM-N915F as it is cheaper from amazon but my the SM-N915FY is the one for th UK England. i wanted to know what the difference was if any between the SM-N915F AND SM-N915FY. I do not seem to be able to find clear information that they have the same band connection ability. The Hong Kong version will not work well on all providers in the UK does the N915F have the same problem meaning I would be better to getting the N915FY that will work on all networks fully. I have looked but different sites seem to list different specs and I am running out of time as my wife wants to buy it for my birthday and i might end up with socks again like the last 20 years.
Thank you if you know the answer

HK is only selling S6 SM-G9200 32GB(Dual sim) and S6 Edge 32/64GB SM-9250.

Are you go to HK personally or say physically? If not, you can buy it off this site online and ship to your country. If you don't need dual sim, I will suggest you buy elsewhere because G9200/G9250 got very few custom roms.

Thanks.. I arrive personally in Hong Kong in two weeks. I want to buy a galaxy S6
but only 920F or 920I.. I will NOT buy a dual sim device... Any store recommended for me?
Try here:
http://www.expansys.ph/samsung-store/
I was there and the other week and only saw the G9200/G9250 on sale in most of the shops and at the Airport
I am also looking for SM-925F model and I am in Hong Kong but I am having no luck.
I ordered mine on Yatango it comes from HK and it's the 920F model, I wonder with what firmware/charger it will ship?
Hi,
I am considering buying new Oneplus 7 on some other market than EU, because of pricing of OP company in different regions (especially Europe) is just outrageous. Buying it in USA is an issue because of the import fees (plus everyone is saying that in USA you can buy only TMobile version of the phone..)
So I thought abot United Arab Emirates. My father is an expat there, and the price ends up 130 EUR cheaper then Europe price (which is shameful, shameful, shameful, that everywhere in the world the phone is at least 130 EUR cheapaer), speaking about the Blue variant, 8/256 GB thru amazon.ae.
But I am wondering if there is any catch about UAE version, it is very secretive and restrictive kinggdom, especially in their efforts to block all but state monitored networks and VoIP/VoLTE apps.
But maybe I am just as paranoid as the UAE government is.. Thanks for your replies.
Feel free to buy it. It is global version as in Europe. No changes to firmware whatsoever.

Amen! I bought one from amazon.ae...No restrictions, it's a totally unlocked variant but the only difference is that you might be getting GM1913/ GM1910 rather than the Europe version...there won't be any difference in the hardware except for when you might get an update to the software...Since it's oneplus, you can easily install any global version of the Oxygen OS via the system updater rather than actually waiting for the update to be pushed to your phone...
Go ahead...save the 130Euro...
Quick question. I always buy my handsets from the uk but iam currently on holiday and i saw the note 10 in dubai. Tempted to pull the trigger as the price is better then back home but what's the catch?
Would there be any features id miss out on or are they exactly the same device?
I never have any issues using my eu/UK unlocked device when abroad so i presume i shouldn't have any issues using an unlocked handset bought in dubai and using it in the UK / EU??
