Hi,
I'm on vacation in HK (cool city BTW), wondering if it is possible to buy a G3 there then bringing it back to France? All the functionality ll work? 4G, call, etc.
Thanks you for helping me guys
If the model number is D855 then yes, you may need to change the firmware in order to select the LTE band though. Not 100% sure if the HK model is different to the 855 so you'd need to check it all first to be surr

Hey welcome to hk. to answer your question the G3 sold locally at retail stores are the D855 varient. the bands are as follow.
LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600
HSDPA UMTS 900 2100
GSM 850 900 1800 1900
You can buy paralle imports since you won't be honored with warranty from LG in France with a hk model phone anyways. they're usually $1000-$1500 HKD cheaper than retail. hope you find what you need!
www.price.com.hk is a good place to start

I am not sure, you would have to check with LG on that part. On a side note, you should get the F460 Cat 6 version since you're in hk. they have them imported from s.korea for around 4700 hkd :laugh:

I don't think the Mi4 is out yet, but you can preorder. I think they'll be available late august, so if you're still in hk, then thats fine.
As for other phones, u can definitely check out the Oppo find 7 or oneplus one which many stores have in stock. i think those are great buys attheir respective prices. Another phone i would look into with ultra thin bezel is the Sharp AQUOS ZETA SH-04F.

I have decided to pull the trigger on a galaxy tab s 10.5 but don't know which model to get. I want the exynos with lte that works on at&t. Is there a model that has both the exynos and lte support for AT&T, or should I purchase the tablet directly from AT&T? Root is also a concern my note edge is AT&T and has no root in sight due to locked bootloader. I want to order the model that has it all. Any input is appreciated.
I have the T-807 on VZW and there is no root method for my tab, so I'd say avoid the T-807 if root is something important to you. The 807 (for some reason) in the fastest and smoother of those I have played with tho
Can't you get unlocked versions over there in the US?

Yes Amazon has the international version unlocked. Not sure why the lte version only come with 16gb, but the WiFi only version you can get in 32gb.

I have the unlocked international lte version which i imported from Hong Kong, much cheaper than Amazon. Got it from a great site called Expedite electronics.

It says uk, but they ship from HK, so dont see why they couldnt ship to the us.

Yup they only ship to the UK strangely considering the tab comes from Hong Kong. I might just settle for the T-Mobile version. I wonder if the performance is much different between the snapdragon and exynos. I really want the 32gb one but no GSM support, hopefully lollipop update comes soon enough and I can write whatever app data I want to SD card.
OK now I feel stupid, I assumed that all of the US carriers would have the snapdragon version just like all US Samsung phones, but according to T-Mobile and AT&T sites both are the exynos versions. I will be getting the T-Mobile version so bootloader will be unlocked and root/custom recovery will be easier to obtain. Thanks for the input.

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 all..
I'm was previously an iPhone user and will be switching to the Android platform. Pretty new to the Android scene so there is a few question I need help with.
To begin with, I'm from Singapore and Samsung here only has the Exynos version for the s20+.
I ordered the s20+ from the US with the model SM-G986U and I believe it's the Snapdragon variant.
Question:
1: As Singapore does not have 5G yet, will the s20+ that I ordered from the US work in the future when Singapore has 5G? Will there be any connectivity issue regarding the current 4G and future 5G?
2: Does Samsung Pay works for US set in Singapore?
Thanks in advanced.
Need advice and help. Thanks
