Hi, I live in europe and here is only the exynos version, where to buy the snapdragon version to be compatible with our networks? Wonda Mobile?
I am also interested by this...
Me too. Here in Uruguay they only import the Exynos versions... and we all now how bad they are.

Historically the Snapdragon version NEVER supports Dual-Sim, sad but true
That's not true, s20 ultra Hongkong version is snapdragon with dual sim

Doesn't support all the bands needed in some places..........well, not for the US anyhow, not sure about where you are.
In Slovakia, support all band for me

Was chatting with support to get a different person to confirm US version is single sim, and it is. Asked him about the HK version, said it would be single sim as well...........but here's to hoping he's wrong on both counts.
As far as I know, there is a difference between the US model and the HK model. For the European networks, the HK model works better.
The Note 20 Ultra no longer has two physical sim slots. If you want a double sim then you need a Sim + eSim.
a think only snapdragon version is in US , HK will by exynos this time

As far as i know there will be two asia market version of snapdragon SM-N986N (South Korea) with Snapdragon and SM-N9860 (China, HK) and now am i thinking which version to buy.... Wondamobile will have probably N9860 version but anyone know what is the difference between N986N version?
Different is bloatware and network bands for me is better HK version, hope snapdragon will be there

For Korea version is confirmed Snapdragon, but also i think for HK version. On other hand India and Europe gets Exynos 990. Probably in 10 days will be available on wondamobile in buy it there HK version. Can't wait!

where did you get that information about HK being exynos? its been snapdragon for years...please put up a link to the information
thanks
Considering the S20 Ultra, the HK or China unlocked versions SM-N9860 will be the best bet.
Guys I live in Europe (Greece) and I wanna buy the snapdragon version but I'm not sure from where. Is wondamobile safe? And if yes then which version is the best to buy? I don't care about dual sim. And here in Greece we don't even have 5G yet.
Plus one more question. In my country if you preorder note 20 ultra before 20th of August you get buds live for free. Does that work in other countries too?

Hi,
I want to buy an S7 from Amazon.com that works in all Europe (I am for a while in USA, but I live in Europe), but from what I see not all versions are Dual Sim. Nevertheless, the Dual Sim I found was for Asia/Africa and not for Europe.
I would greatly appreciate some help in order to make sure I order the right version. It's quite confusing with all the Asian regions and dual/single sim version
The 930FD version (iT's The international Model) work fine in Europe. It's the model with Exymos cpu.
It probably will work fine in the US too but not on all networks
it will work if it is a international version

On amazon is shows up as Samsung Galaxy S7 Dual Sim Factory Unlocked Phone 32 GB - Internationally Sourced (Middle East/Afican/Asia) Version G930FD Dual Sim- Black Oynx.
This is what confuses me. It says INTERNATIONALLY SOURCED but it spacifies only Africa/Asia

I think that Middle East/Africa/Asia are the regions where is sold officially.
Anyway, you won't have problems in any country with the Dual SIM version.

When buying snapdragon version that is sold in US only then the 5G may not support right BAND Israel is using. That's why you need to go for exynos that is probably one that is being sold in Israel stores and that has right BAND type for 5G to work.

Correct except the n9860 has the European 5G bands, not US. Plus the note 20 ultra model sold on Israel is the F and does not have 5G

Mine is the European model which is N986B with exynos. What i understood is that the N9860 is US version and has not got European band. Since people who bought it sweden cannot get 5G in Europe because it's missing 5G band that europe is using.

which phone version do you have ? us or HK/china ?
I have N9860 hong Kong. It should have the right 5g bands for europe/Israel too
N9860 from HK
N9860 from Wondamobile (HK-based) supports European band frequencies, including for 5G, and has the superior Snapdragon 865+ processor.
i just got the HK version and im with HOTMOBILE, im switching to partner sunday, well see if its available they said it should work in beersheva, well see.
I'm using an N9860 (TGY) from Hong Kong in the UK. 5G works only with some providers, but not all.....
- Three - definitely works
- Vodafone - reported to work - I've seen the 5G notification
- EE - definitely DOES NOT WORK
- O2 - insufficient data.
Apparently 5G on EE used to work with early firmware, but an update broke it. Even when it did work the SIM had to be in slot 2 and there could be no active SIM in slot 1.
The summary of all this is that having support for the correct 5G band should not be taken to mean that 5G will work. There is more to it involved with configuration files for compatible operation. Unfortunately this stuff is beyond my expertise. Here is a link....

Partner said its metter of time, they just wait untill Samsung connect exectly this model in Israel.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G bought from the US (SM-N986U1) and I am currently in the Philippines. Is there any way I can make the 5G work here? If currently there is no way, would you think there will be in the near future?
Depends if the 5g bands are the same in both countries (and operators), you'd need to check that.
You could try the whitelisting method used on the Hong Kong variants which allows 5g use in Europe. Google it.
This is interesting part. I've been thinking about this not long time ago. My idea is as HK variant has same chipset etc, except storage with USA variant. So I believe it possible in some way to enable hidden or locked 5G bands on USA variant.
Not possible make to work because it do not support bands used bands and combinations used in Philippines: https://cacombos.com/device/SM-N986U

hi mate just for knowing, i had this idea to import myself a broken note 20 ultra 5g US variant, you said that the 5G is not working. Did the 4g,3g or 2g worked for you? im from italy and i found on ebay a good priced phone, but now im scared that the network will not work for me. i found the philippines band chart with all the frequencies and bands. like in italy, only one/two of them are supported and i would like to know if the network was working.

Hey there. Yes. My former Note 20 Ultra 5G US variant's 4G is working in the Philippines.
I recommend you get also the Hong Kong (Snapdragon) variant instead, as I have read somewhere that HK variant's 5G could work in the UK.

Well this answers my question. I recently bought a US version note 20 ultra 5g and having trouble activating the 5g on my phone which seems to be impossible. I should have bought a snapdragon hk version instead then. This is very frustrating cause I'm really enjoying the benefits of a Note phone.
So, I was planning to order an S22 Ultra (US here) but I wanted to get a rootable version. The 0 version (Hong Kong) of Samsung phones is usually rootable + bootloader unlockable, plus it has a Snapdragon, but I was wondering if it of was any use under Verizon.
Does anyone else have any experience under Verizon using the S9080 or any of the Hong Kong variant phones? Cellular capabilities? Aggregation? VoLTE?

I have the S21 Ultra Hong Kong device. It works on Verizon but no 5G or Carrier Aggregation. You’ll likely get 4G LTE and WiFi Calling. Guessing the HK S22 Ultra will as well.

Isn't the device 5G? Why doesn't it work? Isn't the 5G a universal thing?

No, it's not universal, you can ask Verizon if they can provision it but likely they can't. This may have changed with the S22 Ultra but I doubt it.
Does anyone know where i can buy a s22 ultra snapdragon ? i live in the east coast usa
Any US carrier branded S22 has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen1. Also, an unlocked device purchased directly from Samsung for the US market will have the Snapdragon chipset.
You can buy it from Amazon.

Edited my reply to include unlocked device, direct from Samsung purchase.
Just want to add the US version can't be bootloader unlocked or rooted, even the unlocked version from Samsung (model s908u/u1)
I bought a s908e through Amazon and I'm also eastern US, rooting was easy.. thanks to the awesome devs here
