Hi,
I live in the USA, but I'm working in Spain for two months. I was using my S8 with Sprint in Spain and it was working well enough to where I was not going to buy a SIM card. Unfortunately I took a weekend trip to Morocco and dropped my S8 off of a camel and it is completely dead (screen wise, at least).
If I buy a European LG G6, will it work with Sprint? Or are there different sub models for the G6 for different carriers (like there are different models of the S8).
Thank you

I plan for vacation in South Korea next month and I assume the device will be available there and I plan to buy it there.
But I heard issues that smartphone bought in South Korea cannot be used in other country. Is that true?

I don't know about that, but here are some things to consider:
1) Make sure that it has all the bands for your other country carrier
2) At least in the USA, the V20 is expected to be available only through the carriers (E.g. T-Mobile, AT&T) and without a general unlocked version that works with all the supported carriers. That means that a Korean phone may not have specific software for USA such as VoLTE and VoWiFi.
I would recommend getting the V20 version from/for the carrier you plan to use it on unless you can verify all the other carrier's features are supported using the Korean version.

B&H Photo/Video typically sells unlocked flagship phones that work with US GSM Networks (AT&T/T-Mobile & the MVNO's that operate on their networks).

I wouldn't rule out the possibility,unless you're using VZW or Sprint as your service provider.
all Korean phones are unlocked internationally, just locked region. if you buy kt you cant use it on sk or LG U+. i made sure when i bought the lg v20 because ill be in the Philippines for vacation. KT phones seem to always work with AT&T
Hi,
I'm interested in buying a A3 (2017) phone.
The model sold in my country (France and rest of Europe) is the a320f, however I may go to Canada next year and I want a device compatible with LTE bands from Europe and Canada. The model a320y sold in Asia and Australia is the same as a320f, except it supports a few more bands (not less), including the ones I need for Canada.
Did one of you manage to buy a different model from a shop? Do you think some shops will be able to ask Samsung to send them a different model? Otherwise, did one of you succeed in importing from other region, for not too expensive, and where did you buy it? I would like to think of importing as a last solution since there will be double tax + shipping costs…
Thanks in advance,
Galaxy A320Y 2017 dual sim
Dear Yurien
This model would be availiable in Chicago USA by the end of February, I am waiting for it as well. Here is the address for you welectronics.com
Good luck to you

Unfortunately, this website only ships within the USA.
Plus, 400 USD + shipping + border taxes is high, considering it costs 330€ in France
Is there any place to buy the A320Y? When I contacted them, welectronics said they are selling the A320F. Only markets I have come across selling A320Y so far are Chile, Mexico, Indonesia, Thailand and New Zealand. I haven't found a source to get one in the US though. I really wanted this phone for its size but if I am not able to get the A320Y I may just go for the S7 after the S8 is released.
*Also don´t forget that sometimes the Data Bands change depending in the carrier!*
A320YD
Hi to All,
I too am trying to get the famous A320Y model. It is obviously better, not only in Canada but in France too because one of the major operators, Free, is developing the LTE 4G band 28(700) which is not on the A320F models.
I contacted Samsung in France and they simply said that only the A320F is available in France and that it would not be possible to get the A320Y.
I have seen some A320Y models on sale in NZ but not in Australia. They seem to be available in Vietnam but I don't speak Vietnamese and I suspect it would be difficult to buy them without some knowledge.
The 320Y I saw on NZ sites was not the dual sim model that I want.
Any more information on this would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance!
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.
I bought a S8 2 years ago in the US. I am basically using it in central Europe with a Austrian SIM. Until now I have never seen the phone connecting to a LTE network, even though its enabled in the settings.
When I put the same SIM in the S9 which I bought in Europe, it'll connect to LTE almost all the time.
Are there hardware differences between US and european phones? Is it only a firmware issue?

Um you have a European phone. A950f is not a us device. The 950u is and there are a lot of differences radios you need to make sure the phone supports your carriers lte bands. And you have your apn setup properly first
Hello, I live in EU, and my S10+ is the SM-G9750, Hong Kong version.
Does anybody know if the screen is compatible to the other EU versions (which most repairing shops will have?)
According to https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Android/Galaxy-S10-Screen/IF416-001?o=1 the same part is compatible with Europe, Global Dual-SIM (G975F/DS) / USA, China (G975U)
So I guess it is. But still, my exact model number G9750 is not there.
Thanks!
EDIT: I guess they are. A store replaced my broken LCD perfectly, and I am sure they don't have S10+ screens in stock for devices outside europe.
Hey can you help me my Problem is kinda opposite I got a s10+ with the motherboard broken my Phone model is Sm-G9750 and the available parts are mostly Sm-G975F
