I bought an S7 edge but the s7 edge is not printed on the back, do all have it printed?
Most reviews I've seen have it, just wondering.
Mine only has the Samsung name printed, but no model printed, it does have however the small imprints of imei, actually 2 imei's due to the fact is a duos, designed by Samsung and made in Vietnam etc.
Howdi... I also don't have this... Voda UK model...
So you're not on your own
I have all printed bought in India

Mine also not printed - From South Africa - SM-G935F
And did you know, if you got a red phone, they go faster.
The international version (exynos) doesn't have it. This has been like this since the first Galaxy phone, US models had the "Galaxy S blabla" on the back but international versions not. It's not that they forgot printing it.
I like it without so no problem for me.

Yeah, what he said. Apparently International versions only come branded with the Samsung logo.

Hi, my girl friend bought a galaxy note from Korea last week.
We live in Turkey and in Turkey we have to register the imei number of the phone to the govenrment. But, there is no imei number in the phone. We tried *#06#, we went to the samsung service, but the phone does not have an imei number. Is it possible to write email to note?
I want to flash an international rom, but I do not know is it possible for E160L version of galaxy note? I could not find any information about this.
Does anybody have korean version of galaxy note? Could you change the rom?
Thanks
Dont want to sound offensive but did she really bought a real phone?? Bcoz never heard of a phone without Imei..apart from chinese fakes.
She is with me now. I am already using n7000 galaxy note. First she called me and told this situation. I did not believe her first. But, yesterday she brought her phone to me. Yes it is a real galaxy note SHV-E160L. I called samsung, they said that yes it is true but you have to contact Samsung Korea.
It is really interesting but yes the phone has no imei.
I solved the registration issue of imei number. I called the government office, and they said that because it has no imei there is no problem because we can not detect your phone.
Now I have to install an internation Rom. How can I install Europe or US Rom to Korean Galaxy note?

Samsung Exynos 8890 Models (from wikipedia):
>SM-G935F (International Single Sim, Malaysia)
>SM-G935FD (International Dual Sim, Malaysia)
>SM-G935W8 (Canada)
>SM-G935S (South Korea SK Telecom)
>SM-G935K (South Korea KT)
>SM-G935L (South Korea LG U+)
(I'm going to assume that this is the complete list of all S7 Edge models with the Exynos octa-core, please let comment if you know of any other models)
The SM-G935F and SM-G935FD models appear to be the most common ones that I see in the rooting threads. If someone could elaborate the differences between the models listed above it would be greatly appreciated.
I live the the U.S. and I would like to get a hold of the best "Titanium Silver" S7 Edge that can be fully rooted. I eliminated all the ones with the Snapdragon 820 processor already since they have locked boot-loaders. I am not very savvy with Amazon and Ebay; After looking at some of the reviews on Amazon I'm worried that I will end up with a broken or fake S7 Edge, it seems that there are a lot of legit ones that have display issues and are sold as new devices. Iv'e also noticed that some models have "Galaxy S7 Edge" printed on the back of the phone while the rest do not, if possible I would like a version without that. There is also this rare 64gb that I'm curious about.
If you have an Exynos S7 Edge, where exactly did you purchase it from and how well does it work in the U.S.?
How do you make sure you are getting a legit new phone and not a scam?
What is the best model for rooting, custom roms, etc.
The F and FD are basically the same thing except the FD is dual sim.

Model number on the back is Snapdragon version.
You should be very careful about frequencies. Check the ones for your provider because you can easily end up with phone that can get only 3g. Check the frequencies for international model(935F) and compare with your provider.
That's the most important thing to do. The rest is a matter of personal preferences.
Hi,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge that was advertised for sale with the UK's SM-G935FZDABTU model number.
During the initial set-up of the phone I was invited to logon to my Samsung account, which I did.
When I later visited the Samsung website, I found the phone I had been sold had the model number SM-G935FEDAATO instead of the standard UK one.
I've been unable to find the specifications of the phone I have other than the fact that it is available in several European countries, particularly - if Google search results are anything to go by - in Austria.
I got the phone for a good price and want to keep it if I can. On the other hand, I would like to know what comprises I'll be making if I do so.
Can anyone give me an idea of what the differences between the UK and EU versions of the S7 Edge are likely to be?
Thanks for reading this
John Latter
There shouldnt be any differences between all eu models. Mine is bought in Germany and is running UK BTU firmware. If it runs exynos proc. Then its eu model because snapdragon is for usa only as im aware.
I bought my S8+ yesterday and found out it's the Duos variant, meaning it can accommodate 2 SIM cards. So instead of the Galaxy S8+ branding is written on the back of the device it says Duos. My OCD tingles to no end.
Anyway, is this variant (SM-G955FD) just the same S8+ variant (SM-G955F) but just have the ability to use 2 SIM cards? Same specs, same everything?
I bought my daughter an S5 Duos before and it's just not the same compared to the regular S5. It looks like a dumb-down version to me especially the screen.
I installed Samsung INFO from the Play Store and it show SM-G955F not 955FD (D for Duos, I suppose). But when I look at the phone information from the Settings app, it say 955FD. Strange.

Dubai. It seems like they're only selling that variant here. A friend of mine has the Duos variant too.
Cant comment specifically on the S8 Duos (I have an S8) but did have an S6 Duos. Everything was the same as regular S6 - Even the firmware - I flashed different stock ROMS on it a few times and just used the F moniker with no issue - Ie, because I wanted EE Wifi calling, I flashed the EVR firmware.
I imagine it will be the same with the S8 and S8+ Duos

Actually that's what I'm afraid of. If ever I wanted to mess around with my phone by installing an custom ROM if the phone updates comes very slowly for the S8, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to use a ROM that's only been tested on a SM-G955F (without D for Duos). I hope you get what I'm saying.
My friend said it's the same hardware that I don't need to be worrying about it.
hey this is strange.... i just went to my phone>about tab and see mine says Sm-G955FD (dual sim variant) but phone info app says its a G955F which is europe single sim variant. funny. ? any one can shed some light on this?
I ordered the Samsung Galaxy S10+ Plus Factory Unlocked Phone with 128GB (U.S. Warranty), Prism Black from Amazon few days ago. The model number on Amazon's page was SM-G975UZKAXAA but the phone I received has the model number SM-G975U1ZKAX. What is the difference between these two models? Should I get the replacement with the exact model as advertised?
Currently SM-G975UZKAXAA is out of stock and Amazon will ship the replacement in September which is a month and a half away. I am thinking if the two models aren't vastly different, I may keep the one I received. I've been doing some research and reading that U is a carrier locked and U1 is unlocked but Samsung's website says the U is factory unlocked. And I'm not sure what the last two letters "AA" means which my model doesn't have.

They are both US unlocked models. SM-G975UZKAXAA appears to be a business model with some extra enterprise software while SM-G975U1ZKAX is the consumer model. Hardware and price are identical for both.
I talked to Samsung about the model number issue today. They couldn't even find the model SM-G975U1ZKAX in their system. I gave them the IMEI on the box (which matches the IMEI on the phone) and was told the phone is actually SM-G975UZKAXAA as advertised on Amazon. They weren't sure why the box would say the model number is SM-G975U1ZKAX. The phone itself shows SM-G975U1 as the model number (no ZKAX). If I believe the Samsung rep, the phone should say SM-G975U. The phone looks and works great otherwise.

(For those who don't know, G975U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the Galaxy S10+. The G975U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100% interchangeable among any of those models.)

I'm not sure if I understand this right from the link you provided. So G975U and G975U1 are both unlocked US versions of the S10+. However the G975U1 is factory unlocked by Samsung where as the G975U is unlocked by its respective carrier (i.e. ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc). Did I get this right?

Where I come from U1 is unlocked. Do you have a "carrier" splash screen when booting up? If not then you have a U1 unlocked model.
Edit and to add. SM-G975U1 is the model identifier for USA unlocked model . I'm not familiar with SM-G975UZKAXAA, it could be like other poster said another variant of an unlocked model.

If you simply do a Google search for the model number that you find so incredibly perplexing the official Samsung web page for enterprise (aka large businesses) will show up and list that specific and complete model number as the US unlocked enterprise model that includes Dex software which is Samsung business software for enterprise collaboration and keeping tabs on employees.
You can believe whatever you like but it's pretty amazing that supposedly tech savvy people on XDA don't even know how to use the internet.
