Hi
I'm thinking to buy the Samsung S6 on my trip to Japan soon.
Googling for information discovered they sell the HK version SM-G9200.
Does anyone know about the hardware differences between the global and this version? Of course there is the double sim thing, but I'm talking more generally - For example if the screen will break - will the SM-G920F's screen will fit?
and maybe other problems I haven't thought of?
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.

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?
I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S6 from online and to use in Australia, however I cannot find any of the Australian versions (SM-G920I), so I am considering purchasing the global model instead (SM-G920F).
I am quite technologically illiterate when it comes to networks/frequencies/bands etc, so I'm hoping someone can tell me if the global version will be compatible with the particularly the Telstra network in Australia?
Thanks!!
Hey, i'm in the same boat as you too! However I did find the G920I online, albeit a bit too late as I've already purchased the G920F and it's on it's way.
Her'es the link to the G920I
Hello,
I may buy a Galaxy S7 soon. I know it exists several models with SM-930(x), where (x) depends on the location you buy (carrier for example). I went to two of my local stores today (similar to Best Buy for those who are in the United States) and both were SM-930X. Is the “X“ model the letter for the retail phones? A “special“ model?
I’m looking for an unlocked Galaxy S7. I’m in France, so I guess the model in question is SM-930F. But I’m not sure, I’m new to Samsung.
If any of you has an idea, don’t hesitate. Thanks!
That's a demo model, 930f is the international modem.

All right, thank you! I wanted to be sure about it.
Hello guys,
I hope everyone is doing fine out there regarding this worldwide pandemic!
I am here asking for help regarding my Note 20 Ultra.
I have a SM-N9860 model (i think this is China, Hong Kong variant) with Snapdragon CPU.
I live in Europe, Romania and because my phone was build for an other region, I can't use some of the mandatory apps(samsung pay), I dont't have access to updates from europe, I have a different layout for my keyboard, etc.
Now, here is the question: is it possible to flash the Romania's stock ROM version on my phone? Keep in mind that in europe there are no official Snapdragon variants and that means that I will flash an Exinos ROM on a Snapdragon phone.
I hope I found the right topic to post my question.
Have a nice day, everybody!
no you cant flash an exynos rom on snapdragon. I have the n9860 in israel im waiting for android 11 still.
never used samsung pay or google pay, cash is king.
That's not really what I wanted to hear
But, thanks God I did not atempted to flash a new ROM before asking!
Thank you for your answer!
Have a good night!
Same still waiting for Snapdragon Android 11 .... best phone
but last inline for 11 update with UI3.0
Either it's Hong Kong or Taiwan. Why did you buy Chinese version?
It was advertised as Snapdragon version and that's it. Nobody said anything about region, neither US nor China...

They schedule it at January 2021, so it's not that this model are late, it's just the other model get it earlY
I know this is contrary to what everyone says, but a few years ago I did successfully flash Exynos ROM on to a Snapdragon Samsung phone and everything worked fine, this might be anecdotal and I am not responsible if you try this yourself and brick your phone.
It was the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 which I ordered and received from eGlobalCentralUK (ceased trading), they sold Chinese variant phones.
Global variant had the Exynos 9810 chip (SM-N960F/DS)
China variant had the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip (SM-N9600/DS)
I remember doing so because Samsung Pay didn't support any UK banks and only had Chinese banks. I have used Odin plenty before, so without checking on Google if it's possible to do this I just did it. I downloaded the official UK firmware from Sammobile and flashed the SM-N960F/DS (BTU) firmware on to the SM-N9600/DS Note 9. Everything worked to my knowledge, but I didn't do any specific tests like 2G/3G/4G on the phone.
Later when I got the Note 10+ and tried to sell my phone to MusicMagpie, they offered me £300 revised £0 for it because it wasn't UK variant and they can tell because it was Snapdragon.
