Hi all,
I ordered a tab from expansys UK hoping to get the UK model sent here in Japan, but part way through the process my order has been taken over by expansys in Hong Kong and it's starting to sound like they intend to send me a HK model, which I'm not entirely happy about since no doubt it will have some customisations for that reason.
Does anyone here have the HK model tab and if so are there actually any customisations you are aware of?
500 quid is too much to spend on anything that might end up gimped in some way!
Thanks.
*Sent PM*
as per title, anyone seen it either in Hong Kong, Singapore or even Vietnam (Where I'm currently living\working) ?
Expansys are showing it online with price for the 32gb version in Singapore, but no price in HK yet or for the 64gb version.
HK people have no idea what the One is, then tried to sell me the XZ and the Note 2.

Hi there,
I am interested in buying Galaxy S7 Edge. I live in Canada, so i am not interested in buying the canadian variant. My experience with my current Galaxy S4 was horrible. No updates or anything.
If anyone knows website that can ship the Galaxy S7 Edge phone, legit website, please let me know.
I found one called clove . They have it and have the lowest price. But when I went to pre-order, it says there is a samsung region lock on. So If i give them permission, they will open the seal , insert european sim card and make a 5 minute call to region unlock it. Does the Galaxy S7 Edge have this region lock or no? Can someone please confirm?
I prefer to receive my phone factory sealed.
Thank you!

International variant? Do some research first. The exynos chip S7 will be sold all around the world except for USA and China that will have snapdragon. Canadian variant is exynos and if all your interested is in updates, that's pretty silly.

I did my research. Yes, I am aware of that . How is it silly? Explain yourself.
You thinking an international variant will get "updates" quicker than other variants. Why are updates so important? I pre-ordered a bell s7 edge. Canadian variants have warranty. Why would you risk getting an international phone with no warranty?

Canada will receive the Exynos variant which is the same as the European variant, though I'm not sure if it will be available unlocked in Canada. Wether you order from Clove or Unlocked Mobiles your phone will have to go through that process in order for it work in Canada or somewhere else. The only thing you could do to avoid having an opened phone is going to Europe and insert the SIM card and make the 5 minute phone call yourself, or maybe have a European relative do it for you. But if you skip this the phone won't accept your Canadian SIM.

So, it is safe to let Clove open it for the region lock? I saw same model as Clove on ebay, but a reputable seller, but he sells factory sealed phone. It doesn't require region unlock!
Thank you for the help! Appreciate it !
Yeah, i know Canada is getting one. But I want the updates which international variant gets. Canadian will become obsolete thanks to our lame carriers. I'm never buying any Canadian variant phone.

I have never purchased from them but I read good reviews, I'm ordering it from UnlockedMobiles. They do not state for a fact that they do the same thing as Clove but I sent them an email and they said they do it by default for shipping addresses in the US, they do exactly the same as Clove which is insert UK sim then make a 5 minute phone call. I saw some phones on ebay like that one you're telling me and besides that they're way overpriced ($100 more expensive) I honestly don't get how they can get it to work without opening the phone and doing that unless they somehow got the Global american version? dunno if that even exists. Still if you want to spend over $800 on the phone might as well wait until March 11th for B&H to make the phone available http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1225381-REG/samsung_sm_g935_32gb_slv_galaxy_s7_edge_g935.html bear in mind they will offer the Global/International variant but I don't know if it's american or something but B&H is based off NY.
So these phones, are they G930F/G935F or something else.

Well if you look up a phone that is already available like the S6 Edge you can find lots of unlocked variants like:
S6 edge+ SM-G928G
S6 edge+ SM-G928C
S6 Edge SM-G925F
S6 Edge SM-G925I
Apparently some are unlocked and some others are Region specific.
Try Odin
ust a quick suggestion. You can use Odin to flash an official firmware of another region as long as it's the same hardware. This doesn't trip Knox or count as root as you're using official Samsung firmware. That way, you could buy a Canadian phone, then flash there international firmware. If there's a problem flash back the Canadian firmware and retain your warranty. Try it with your s4
I got my hands on a Sm-G935F at chrismas time, I was hoping this would be a great layover until the new s8 comes out. It's unlocked and I'm using it on Bell but reception is horrible. The S7 i had before that I handed down to my wife had way better reception. There is no Canadian firmware for the SM-G935F that I can find. Any suggestions to help make it better.
Hello everyone,
I am eagerly waiting to preorder the much-awaited S8(+), but since I do not live in any of the regions which traditionally supply the dual sim variant (South Korea? India? Singapore? China? Thailand?) I would like to know if any supplier is well known for forwarding a dual-sim S8 to Europe, and if so which one would you advise choosing.
My guess is preorders will be quickly saturated so I would like to know where I could get my hands on a dual sim S8 as early as possible
Thank you xda!
Me too, for import to France
In my opinion best dual sim versions coming from UAE. Currently I have s7 edge duos from UAE, and is perfect. Looks same like EU version (even address on backplate is UK). I had in the past s6 duos from china, all documentation in Chinese, also China address on the back. However it was working perfect.
Anyone know reliable online shop in UAE, who shipping to UK?

There is none reliable online store and I don't recommend buying from there as as difficult to get local warranty, still if you want to buy than get it from someone working or living there like friend or relative etc.
Saying reliable online store I mean, real store with good recommendation, who will send device to me without any problems. Unfortunately I don't know any person living there...

I don't agree with many ppl here.. There are lots or reliable sources in uae, well known local online stores with a track record, i personally bought from them (and i live in dubai) and i know for a fact that they ship to many customers in Europe (reading from few other threads on xda related to Samsung products) try Mike&Smith uae and try mygsm uae.. Just Google them.. Hope this helps as i did buy from both many times..
I contacted mygsm uae. They will have s8 duos in stock next week, Shipping to UK is £20, so I will use them

WooooW i never thought they will get it that fast, am already on the waiting list for several sellers here in dubai. Good luck for us.
Thank you for all the advice, mygsm does not display price yet and Mike&Smith sells the S8+ for 4000AED (1020€) which is crazy expensive, will any reseller be cheaper, or is there any other dual-sim friendly country which may sell it for less?

This is the price for early birds, give it sometime till the official release, and the price will drop down.. These are my trusted sources whom i used for a while, can't advice on any that i didn't try..
Hello, so I'm ready to upgrade my Galaxy 5 and have been looking on ebay for a deal. I see some new phones that ship from China and/or Hong Kong that appear to be a good deal. Brand new, AT&T Galaxy S7 SM-G930A phone for $360. What concerns me is the seller is offering this phone in silver and white, in addition to the more typical black or gold. Was the AT&T Galaxy S7 ever produced in white or silver? I've searched, and so far I can't find this!!! I'm just trying to determine whether the phones are clones!!!!
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Most likely clones.

Not that I saw. It was black or gold at two stores I visited. Don't do it.
