Seeing that the UK models will not be getting NFC, has anyone thought of ordering from Korea? Or in general is anyone considering ordering from a Korean seller?
Why would you do that unless your local frequencies are South Korea's CDMA...meaning you'd be in South Korea.

lol delete this thread haha... Totally forgot to think about whether it was GSM or not xD Thx for the info.
I lived in south korea and i'm korean.
Our country provide WCDMA/CDMA service.
WCDMA Band cairrer are below.
SKTelecom (2100 Mhz)
Korea Telecom (2100 Mhz)
CDMA band carrier is below
LG U+ (1800 Mhz)
But, Our local galaxy s radio band spec is poor then EU galaxy s2.
<< Korea Galaxy S2 Network support >>
Double band UMTS 900/2100
Triple band GSM 900/1800/1900
<< EU Galaxy S2 band Network support>>
Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Quad band UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
Yeah, Our korean prefer TDMB(TV Service) then multiple band support.
So it will occur H/w problem occur and samsung select some frequencies killed.
The main critical issue is
if you purchased in our SKT galaxy S 2 model (SHW-M250S),
may be you can't receive MMS. because our carrier SKTelecom using
their own MMS format. (SK-MMS)
Most of world using OMA-MMS.
So it will occur many sms, mms problems.
and our service porvider (SKT, KT) they enjoyed add a many many bloat ware.(Service program).
it will occur a tons of system hang and reset problem.
As a result, i recommend that if you purchased galaxy s2,
wait a your country's carrier galaxy s2( like captivate or fascinate) nor buy the EU galaxy s2.
So, I can't recommend our korea's galaxy s2.
I'll buy a EU Galaxy s2.
Has anyone considered, instead, picking up the North Korean version?

Yeah I got carried away with the thought that I could get the Korean SGS2 have all the same bands and get the NFC. Didn't think through it all the way and forgot that Korea uses different services.

The UK version doesnt seem to have NFC in it. Most of the retailers just take the specs off Samsung's site. Wish it were true tho.

Hi,
Thank you information about Korean version. I m from Turkey. My Vodafone carrier supports 900 band. So i think i can use it in Turkey. I want to ask question where can i buy it in Korean? is it locked or unlocked.
Thanks

Where did you get this information?
According to the specs posted online at several web sites the SK version has support for all of the same bands.
Also, if SK's mms tech was not compatible with other carriers, how would the phone be able to send and recieve mms messages once roaming and relying on another carriers protocols? Can you please post a source of your information, it contradicts everything I've seen online (and common sense when it comes to mms).
The con's you mentioned here aren't much of a problem. Most of the world still uses triband gsm and having a quad band won't do much of good and how many of us really uses mms when we are using emailing or video calling!!
If you see the pro's they is NFC which is gonna be must feature in all smart mobile in future. Next gen samsung mobile is having NFC in all the models. So isn't it cool to have right now than later? well there are lot of apps in android for fm, so having a native fm on mobile is pointless. And DMB is an extra asset too. last but not the least bloatware can be removed in many ways as like rooting
So what do you think guys?

I also think about this model in this way. I think pro's that this unit has are stronger than the con's that "we think" do exist in the mobile. MMS bug is useless as we are using Email and other apps like ChatON, WhatsApp etc. Also there are plenty of FM apps which are capable of streaming online. I don't know about others, this is how I feel.
Even if you feel this software doesn't fit to you, or MMS is really a bug for you, you can anytime change to I9100 firmware at the cost of loosing NFC and DMB (Even after changing I saw that there is a workaround for NFC)

Hi, greetings from your home country
Here you find all specs: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4 - Samsung Galaxy S4 on Wikipedia
Would be really interesting to hear from an mobil expert which LTE bands are really supported!
In Germany we have band 3 (1.800 Mhz; Telekom) and 20 (800 Mhz; Telekom, Vodafone, o2), eventually also band 7 (2.600 Mhz, all 4 provides).
See www . smsmich . de/Mobiles-Internet/lte-frequenzen . php - Frequenzen in Deutschland.
Only the KT device (SHV-E300K) seems to have this or a very similar config.
If this matches I'd be very interested in this device, too!
Maybe you can report on "investigations" and prizes?!?
Yours tholau

What do you mean with "will work".
Depending on the Korean variant and the europe country you are asking for the LTE may not work. 3GM works for most countries. I'm not sure if all countries. 2G works in all countries.

but in tech spec they said
4G LTE TD-LTE 1,900 MHz / 2,300 MHz / 2,500 MHz / 2,600 MHz
in the Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and international roaming only for FDD LTE 1,800 MHz / 2,600 MHz
is that means its not going to work here in Saudi in td-lte???

The 1800/2600 will only work if you have a sim issued from china, and when you roam into other countries, all the other frequencies will work normal.
you have to select one or the other.
