And the S7 are region-locked. The phones bought in the USA must be "unlocked" by using them with an US sim card for a few minutes. I bought my phone in Europe and it was locked the same way, it would have only worked with europeean sim cards for its first use.
I advise u to buy it in Europe so you can get the international version with exynos 8890 : You'll have much less problems with the exynos version
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

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 am considering to get Galaxy S8. Currently, I live in Canada, and variant sold here is G950W, which has Snapdragon.
Still, I have a choice among International (G950F), South Korean Variant with 6GB RAM (G950N aka G950S, G950K, G950L but likely to get G950S), or Canadian variant (G950W). However, I am hesitating because,
1. Snapdragon Galaxy S8 seems to have locked bootloader. I heard that someone having G950W couldn't root it because odin said "fail" while flashing G950W CF Auto-Root method here. (If there is anyone who successfully root G950W, please inform me.) Also, as International variant has Exynos, it seems like there won't be that much ROM for G950W and Snapdragon variants.
2. I am also thinking about getting International variant (G950F). However, it will take very long time to get it online, and I am worried about "region lock". However, I can easily find resellers selling G950F in Canada online.
3. The last consideration is G950S/K, which are GSM based South Korean variant. I know that South Korean variant is not region locked because of South Korean regulations that bans network lock (Carriers in South Korea don't lock phones at all since late 2010). It has 6GB RAM and best specification among these variants, but again, it will be hard to get South Korean variant because there are not many resellers in Canada selling such variants. However, if I have an opportunity to go for a trip there (and have somewhat high likeliness), I am likely to be able to get off-line and switch SIM to it right away. However, it is not certain and hard to find resellers selling S8 Korean variant.
Performance-wise, a game I play frequently is rhythm-based, and more likely to have accurate timing on Snapdragon devices. I am not a hard-core phone gamer (Only game I play is rhythm-based game by klab and some puzzle games. I don't play intense games on my phone (rather, I play intense games on PC.), so difference in performance itself is not a big deal.
Saw a galaxy s7 edge sm-g935 version on eBay and wondered if that was the smarter version to buy on account of battery and roms available. Is that the Snapdragon variant or the exynos variant?
