noob questions sorry in advance!
I would like to know if the baseband version, kernel and build number of the NG sold by different countries varies
If it does so will the difference affect the OTA update process?
Also, can anyone bought from the uk confirm that the warranty by samsung is 2 years and the international warranty is for UK only or EU region or anywhere?
THanks
anyone
All the current ones have been sold in the UK. There might be different regional firmwares bu we don't know for sure until they start showing up.

Does everyone get the same regional market place on this phone or is it different regions different market place ?
I was wondering because someone over at galaxy note said his phone came from another country and he could do a firmware update, I now firmware and apps are different but for any chance anything like this happening with a google device ! just curious

thanks for the information
if anyone got the other version other than the UK can anyone confirm?
tks!
I know that the nexus went on sale in Korea on the 28th. I have not bought it but i do know that the model number is SHW 420S/K, which is different from the GT I9250 sold in the UK. I am also wondering the same thing. Will the hardware be the same? Will you be able to run I9250 roms on this?

There are plently of threads on this already but basically there are 2 versions of the Note 2. the N7100 is the international NON LTE version relying on HSPA+ and there is the N7105 which (in the UK) will be released on the 15th October and is the LTE version and will be compatible on the upcoming 4G services offered by EE etc...

i thought i got the wrong model
I have searched here and on a couple of other Android forums and can't find any reference to this. I am trying to buy a smartphone for my husband. I have narrowed it down to and S4 Mini model # 9195. I found on eBay someone selling this specific model: GT-I9195ZKAPHE. I found on Amazon someone selling this specific model: GT-I9195ZKADBT
What I'm trying to determine is what does ZKAPHE akd ZKADBT mean. Some of the 9195 LTE frequencies may be "region dependent" (?) and I suspect these letters tell us. But darned if I can find anywhere where they are explained.
I found a UK samsung site that says ZKABTU and another Samsung world site that says ZPABG (Greek, maybe?) and ZKADBT seems to be being sold from Germany.
When I google 9195ZKAPHE, I get sites in Spain.
Anyone deciphered any of these letters? Or have a Samsung link that discusses them? Do they have anything to do with frequencies or 4G support? I am trying to get an unlocked phone that will work well in the US on ATT and in SE Asia on various carriers when I travel.
Thanks in advance...
I have a similar question.
Will cyanogenmod run on GT-I9195ZKADBT ?

Hello someone is offering me pixel 2 xl but USA model and I'm in the UK. Is there any differences in the 2 regional models?
Do both have the same bands
Quality processors etc
Please advise as I'm considering buying it.

Same phone, but make SURE it is not the US Verizon (bastard) version that is similar to the UK's EE model. They come locked and restricted. Get the phone's IMEI in advance and run it through THIS. If it comes back GOOGLE_OPEN, you are good to go. If you run the IMEI and get either Verizon -or- Blacklisted you will want to decline. Cheers mate.

Very useful.
I've been informed it's unlocked but will try your link.
Hello,
I am quite interested in purchasing this device! I live in Washington D.C. and I was curious which model of the phone is best suited for use in America? I ask because I assume there are probably different model numbers depending on what region the phone is purchased from.
Thanks

Link to where you see it please.
I cant find an FCC cert for that model and only see it listed on Samsung India's site:
https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-a70-a705g/SM-A705GZWHINS/#specs
And from what I can see, that will not work in North America
good news is I found another version that should work so that brings us to
SM-705MN
SM-A705YN
SM-705W*
* for the SM-705W I have not seen the cert myself, but going off information another posted listed on XDA

Yes Samsung Pay Works On The A70..
But... Samsung Pay is : "Region Specific" depending on Model in a given Region. . So, choose your model carefully.

I have the SM-705MN and i can confirm that samsung pay WILL NOT WORK here in the USA.
I was wondering if anybody had the M or W and if it worked on theirs?
And if so could we swap firmware?
or even possibly change the CSC with out flashing the firmware?

Simply Put..
There is NO WAY, NO FIRMWARE SWAP, NADA... ZIP.. That Samsung Pay will work on ANY A70 in the United States Of America.
Period..
If Google Pay does not cut if for you.. time to return / sell your device and get a S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, Note 5, Note 8, Note 9, or wait for the Note 10.. if S-Pay means that much to you.
You can buy the A50 through Sprint.. and have a working Samsung Pay MINI in the U.S.A. as an alternative..
Until I found out Google Pay works in 99% of the place I personally shop.. I was going to return my A70 and go for one of the mentioned device listed above.
I still might... there is something just not feeling right about this purchase.. Great Battery, Fingerprint is Ok for me, Face Unlock is very fast.. even in the dark, 6.7 inch screen seems to be where screens are headed, Amoled is... Amoled the best. You can't root and trip knox, and use Samsung Pay on any device.. even though there appears to be a workaround for using Google Pay.. But I'm fine not rooting with Developer's not having any interest in this device and TWRP seems like a distant dream at this point..
So, why am I just not feeling this device?.. It seems perfect on so many fronts.. but.... with Prime Day coming in a couple of weeks.. and also having thoughts of spending $270.00 more and getting the One Plus 7 Pro.. I just don't know what it is about the A70 for me.. but something is missing at this price point..
Maybe the rumored A507 and A707 ( A50 and A70 ) updated models which are due out later this year will get sold through U.S. carriers or get offered by Samsung directly in the U.S.A. but I'm sure those will be Late 2019 releases. But if they do get released in the U.S. at least the A70 would have Samsung Pay support out of the box.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but just to be clear, the best model for use in the USA would be the SM-A705W (the Canadian model)?

The SM-A705MN/DS is the best for use in the US.
Hi,
I bought a Note 10 + Today in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Long story short - After a brief search online, I found the best price available on a website. It's only later when I realized that the phone is imported from Taiwan given that the Phones Model is SM-N9750.
What I found really frustrating is that some applications display the Taiwanese language. I check Sammobile for the same model and found that the only two countries supporting this particular model is Taiwan and Hong Kong. The rest of the phones from different countries have a different model number. So, is it possible for me to flash a firmware from any other country ( Preferably from USA, UK, UAE or India)? If so, which one is compatible?
Thanks
I have the N9750 (TGY/Hongkong) and it's in full French, I don't have app in Chinese.
maybe make a factory reset and reconfigure your phone in your language

Thanks. Regardless of the language. Is there any way I can flash firmware from another country? Is there any compatible ones for this model?

No Im afraid you cannot. N9750 is being sold only in two regions as far as I know. Hong Kong and Taiwan. I also have a N9750 TGY/Hong Kong. And I love it. Absolutely no bloatware, dual sim and SD855. Only con I see is its updates are slow compared to other models. No Android 10 beta or stable till date

Well, that's sad. I was hoping that it might be compatible with any firmware that running on exynos.
Not that I don't like Taiwan and Hong Kong based fw. It really is rock solid.
Here's hoping that someone might test out alternative fw for this model in the future and let us know.
Thanks.

S10+ Hong Kong version took whole one month over international model. So Im pretty sure the same formula will apply to our model aswel
I expect Android 10 update to arrive on 15 January at earliest.

I also have a 9750 (shipped with BRI, then I changed it to TGY using Samkey) and found that during the OOB setup, some app titles were in Chinese, but as long as you chose English on the very first screen, everything including those with Chinese app titles will end up being in English. As a last resort, you can do a full reset and make sure you select English on the first screen.
If you need help navigating, try using Google Translate's live camera translation from another phone to understand what is displayed on your screen (I had to do that once since my S9+ shipped already on the home screen--in Chinese.)

The Chinese government is probably vetting it to make sure there's no hidden code meant to subvert their policies and make it easier to organize pro-democracy rallies (j/k).
Taiwan model note 10 plus
@Rocks1991
Same thing here. Wondering if we can do anything to change the language.
More serious issue i am facing is that the bottom speaker doesn't work at times even after the factory reset. Does anyone face that issue? I guess i should replace the phone as this issue persists. Can i get advice on this?
