Since it seems as though I am not the only one looking for a dual sim galaxy S8 in a country that does not sell one, I would like to start building a knowledge database to list countries and sellers where people can pre-order S8's and ship them across the world.
Here's a public google spreadsheet to aggregate resources and eventually find the cheapest solution!

Thank you everyone (especially those blessed by a dual-sim market ) !

Hey guys,
i wanted to pre-order the Galaxy S7 Dual SIM. Till now I couldn´t find any shop who offers it. Do you have any recommendations?
Cheers
Dual SIM is mentioned in some Gulf-region countries as coming. You might want to try googling domain endings like .ae (Arab Emirates) to find an internationally delivering shop.
Can't find anything right now and I doubt the dual SIM is coming to US (correct me if I'm wrong) - other than maybe as a grey import (with no official warranty).
I'd love to get my hands on a 64GB international (I-model) dual sim version myself, but based on Samsung's previous three generations of releases, I'm not very optimistic.... (I'm in Europe myself).
After launching it in the US, UK, and some other markets, Samsung has now brought its Galaxy Tab S3 tablet to Russia. The tablet is listed on the tech giant's US website, with the listing revealing it's available for purchase through offline channels.
As for price, the WiFi variant carries an RUB 54,990 (around $975) tag, while the LTE variant will set you back RUB 59,990 (around $1,065). For those who aren't aware, the device starts at £599 in the UK, while in the US, it's available starting $600.

Hi All
I am in the UK and am about to buy the S3 Frontier... but my question is this - there seems to be at least 3 variants that I can find mentioned on the web - UK / US / International. In the UK the price on the UK device is about $400 and the US version is $299. I can get the UK model from a high street shop or online... but I also see much cheaper version on eBay... as low as $250. I checked the part number of one of the eBay ones and it is SM-R760NDAAXAR. What I cant seem to find is a detailed comparison of the UK, US and International Version.
The information I can find is conflicting and some say that the US version is LTE - which I understand means that it has a hard wired SIM card inside so it can connect to the cellular network directly with no phone. I think the UK one doesn't have this feature... which TBH I am not worried about.
I have also read that if I buy the US version I wont be able to get Android Pay working, etc. I have also read that if I get the International version it will update to UK via software update when it syncs with my S7.
Can anyone tell me if there is any issues with buying an out-of-region device as its tempting because they are about half the price than on the high street here in the UK.
Thanks in advance

You should be able to flash SM-R760NDAAXAR with UK firmware but I'm not sure if Samsung Pay will be active.
I really like the form factor of the S10e and am interested in using LineageOS, meaning I need the Exynos variant. However, I've not been able to find it for sale through any reputable sources - it looks like B&H used to carry the Dual SIM model but it's no longer available, and it's not on Amazon. Before I go the Swappa/eBay route, wanted to see if anyone knew of retailers in the U.S. that carry the SM-970F (don't need the Dual SIM).
Thanks in advance.
Hi anonim1,
I am living in the US at the moment. The Exynos version is unfortunately not available in the US as far as I know, and to the best of my knowledge it has always been like that, with only the Snapdragon version available in the US market. I think that the only alternative is the use of websites like amazon or similar if you want to buy it in the US. Also, I think there would be no warranty coverage for an Exynos smartphone in the US...
Hello everyone...
I am transitioning away from iOS thanks to the Z Fold 2 after 13 years (on iOS since the 3GS) and one of the biggest concerns I have right now is whether the US version of the phone is compatible with NFC-F (FeliCa).
I have family in Japan and having used Suica alongside my phone and Apple Watch made all the difference in the world while there...
My question: I remember reading somewhere that the hardware on the Z Fold 2 is exactly the same everywhere... Considering there is no chance on Earth a manufacturer would release a flagship in Japan without FeliCa, my hope is that the US version will also be compatible with it.
Where can I find the list of specific SKUs (assuming Samsung has something similar to Apple)?
Thank you!
Samsung differentiates their products by market. Typically features are common within individual market groups (EG: Europe, Asia, U.S.). This year the radios are different in each phone with 5G bands varying by country. Instead of SKU's Samsung alters the model numbers. So there's no assurance that phones from one region will support all the radio bands and features from another region. Here's the Fold 2 page from the Samsung Japan site. There's probably a chat or phone number to call and they'd be able to answer your question.
