I am looking to buy a S20+ with a unlocked bootloader, should I go for the Korean(SM-G986N) or the Hong Kong (SM-G9860).
I am worried about the safety/bloat on both, which one would be the better option?
Go for Hong Kong (SM-G9860) am using it's better for me

I'm a little confused on the model numbers, it seems there are multiple models of the h815. I have the h815t. This phone was bought off Newegg, unlocked. Is this the international version? I would like to unlock and root.
Thanks

I bought one of Amazon, I have my suspicions it might be an import. Is there any way to tell?

Lgh791 is European model, 790 is Us and there is South Korean model(don't know the number}.
Of course it's an import,it's not made in USA for sure.

Quick question, are they all dual sim or do some of the above models only come as single sim ?

Dual sim. You can substitute one sim however for expanded storage using Huawei's proprietary storage. I just use one or two sims in mine.

Thanks, how about in regards to the different region versions for this evr-l29. Will I still be able to get emergency messages like amber alerts and such using this model? I noticed a youtuber had those options when he was using his USA sim card in this device.

L29 is better because you can use google assistent and others stuffs, AL00 have differences to use assistent, localization with google maps not work good too. I can't tell you if you able to get emergengy messages, because i live in Brazil. So, better other help you with this. But i thinks, it's going to workg without problem. But confirm with someone that lives there

"All the different versions" ?
I know only 2 versions, a Hong Kong version and a Global version.
I have the 636 Hong Kong version, but for me it act like a international/global version.
Which version do u know more then those 2??

Also there is another post an xda member posted with pictures of his evr-l29 product label. The upc was 6901443278770.
The label didn't show as many lte bands as other evr-l29 models. Search my posts to find his post, as I replied to his post since no one had.

Hello, I was browsing the ROMs section on XDA for the s 20 plus exynos that I want to purchase and I can see that there is only one custom rom available. Why is that?

Because the Snapdragon models are not able to have the bootloader unlocked so there's only the Exynos models.

I have no idea since I have a Snapdragon version and don't follow what ROMs are available.

To be honest...it baffles me a bit but it's not as urgent as it once was for custom ROMs. Plus the cameras are mostly an assache with Samsung's. A pure android ROM would speed through it on these phones but I can't see it happening if it hasn't already

Not so, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, South Korea and I think Latin America all offer Snapdragon variants with unlockable bootloaders.

Put the sim card in the slot number 2, assuming it's a 5g version.
The ultra as that bug. 5g only in the sim on the slot 2.
