Hi guys,
just wondering if the S10E HK version allows VOLTE when used in EU markets.
if I remember well G9600 OREO (S9) did not permit to use VOLTE over European carriers...
Furthermore, anyone can kindly check with AIDA64 which camera brand is used in G9700 version (Sony or Isocell)?
thank in adv.
cheers
Almost certainly not, none of the non-EU models do VoLTE/VoWiFi. Didn't work with S8/S8+/S9/S9+/Note8/Note9. I don't see why that would change with the S10.
Anyone know how long the deal between op and we for the 5g exclusively is?
Seems like we won't get updates as quick till we can put stock aka non-EE oos on ...
Fast software updates were one of the main reasons I got a op7 pro 5g should have known about EE lol
Hi,
I'm sorry if I overlooked a similar thread, but I'm looking in to buying a galaxy s7 and I wanted to buy one that has an unlocked bootloader and will work with USA metro pcs. is there such phone? lol I've heard usa s7's don't unlock. just wondering.
The Exynos models G930F/G930FD/G930W8, and the hong kong snapdragon model are the only ones can be bootloader unlocked
They will work in the USA, but the USA uses different network carrier standards than the rest of the world, so your connectivity won't be as good as using a USA specific device. You may also lack carrier features like VoLTE.
Thanks! Are the s8's like this as well? I'm trying to figure out if I want a 7 or 8. is there much difference between the phones?
Same for S8 through to S10. International gets unlockable Exynos, USA gets locked Snapdragon, HK gets unlockable Snapdragon.
Main difference would be the bump in specs and build. S7 also won't get official Android Pie, I believe the S8 will/has.
S8's were also a bit unique in that unlocking the Exynos bootloader is harder on them but still possible, S9 and S10 went back to easy as far as I'm aware.
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...

Its the best on paper... snapdragon, got all the accessories ( case & earphone ) + dual sim
and 256gb base instead of 128gb of the us version..

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.
Edit: grammar
Hi,
I am new to the phone and want to know a few things if anyone has a moment of your time available please.
Can you install a custom ROM on this 5g model?
It seems very unclear if I can or not as I cannot see another thread for the device separately so is it the same as the normal 7 pro?
If you root the device what things does it break? I am coming from a Samsung and rooting broke some of the Samsung functions such as Bixby and Samsung pay is this the case for OnePlus?
I have seen that some people turn their sprint model of 5g to the European model why is the European version better?
