N930X - Is this an actual regional variant of Note 7 or used only for display models?

I'm currently browsing in Qatar and keep seeing N930X as the model number for the displayed Note 7s in various different shops - Is this the Middle-East regional variant or is the "X" part of model number just used for display handsets??
What model number does your Note 7 have if you have purchased it in the Middle-East? Is it Dual-SIM??

dubai - n930fd

I live in mexico, and the displayed units have that 930x too, the model sold here is 930F, so, I think that the "X" indicates a demo unit

Philippines, X is also the display unit and FD is sold here.

Finland, N930X is the unit in the stores and N930F being sold.

Thanks people - so to confirm, N930X = a demo unit model number.
I managed to check the retail box today (...should have done it before posting this thread, duh!) - I can confirm that in Qatar it is N930FD (dual-SIM).
Now to decide if I should go for it or still stick to my Note5 for now in the unlikely hope of custom ROMs to extend its appeal-life......

man, if you found some help, do not forget the thanks button

I need help putting another n930 variant on n930x

Only way to make it work like a phone is to change the mainboard. The X models are demo unit with all the functions except cellular.

Does anyone have the exact model SM-G988F/DS?

Hi all
I’m trying to find out if this model really exists. I have seen there is a B model that’s dual SIM but this F/DS version turned up in the TECHWALLS page (https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-s20-ultra-5g-model-number-sm-g988-differences/).
But I can’t seem to confirm if it really exists, or if Occasionally sellers just make a mistake and put F instead of B from time to time.
If someone has it can you take a picture of the side of the box (Jose the IMEIs)? Better still confirm which cellular bands such device has.
Thanks

That's the s20 ultra offered for sale in my country or region.
I dont have a photo since mine is s20+, the sm-g985f/ds.

This European site shows the model for sale. https://www.mobileshop.eu/samsung/m...l-sim-128gb-12gb-ram-sm-g988f-ds-cosmic-grey/
SM-G988F/DS (Dual-SIM Unlocked) = SM-G988BZADXSP (Cosmic Gray – 128GB Storage) = SM-G988BZKDXSP (Cosmic Black – 128GB Storage)
The processor is an Exynos 990 and the frequencies are for Asia (India/Singapore) which is very close to the US and this is why I was searching for one.
Here is a site that lists the different models: https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-s20-ultra-5g-model-number-sm-g988-differences

Samsung S20+ Plus G9860

Hello,
Been a long time Sony Xperia fan, i still am, but I like what Samsung has to offer.
Could I get help with this variant of the Samsung S20+ plus g9860, as far as I know this is the Hong Kong version and will work with UK5G n78 band, are all the same with this variant regardless where you buy it and again just to confirm it will work with UK 5g?
Also, may I ask, is their a maximum recording time limit for 4k 60 FPS? Or other video modes?, currently and in the past the Sony devices don't have a limit and I have literally recorded 2hrs non stop 4k 30 FPS until the battery ran out. .
I understand the 8k has a time limit of 10 minutes, please help with the above thanks.

The SM-G9860 are made in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan. The Hong Kong variant will accommodate 5G on SIM 2 and has less bloatware than the China and Taiwan variants. Not sure about recording times.

You may want to keep in mind that if you run into any problems with imported device you then have to depend on seller who may or may not assist you with getting device repaired, as warranty from china is not valid in EU - after all the recent updates, my s20+ exynos variant works perfectly fine and personally i wouldnt risk warranty for slightly better cpu

It's true that is one aspect I was thinking long and hard on, but I just think the SD 865 has gains overs the exynos 990.
I do have a month to test and check it out and if I decide to keep it then I do have 12 months warranty. Good thing about it, is I have paid through PayPal so, I could always raise a dispute if it ever came to them not holding up their end of the agreement.
I'm hopeful that the phone will last me a couple of years.
I have been reading just to much on the fact the European version of the processor installed is not good overall.

SAMSUG S20 ULTRA AFTER I CHANGED THE ROM! PLS HELP!

I have one problem with one s20 ultra 5g ... after firmware uptade from 10 to 11 ...
I bought the phone from a pawn shop and I had a custom firmware installed
I couldn't install many applications and that's why I wanted an original firmware
at phone status I get custom
now I have official android 11 but no signal
is my network blocked? or? I can enter the pin code ... but it doesn't take a signal ...
MODEL NAME SM-G988B/DS
BEFORE CHANGE SM-G988B only. meybe here is the problem ??
someone said it was a roted phone after seeing the phone in download mode
I don't know what that means and how it can be fixed !
Another thing I noticed ... on the back of my phone is written live demo unit not for sale
only now I saw this .... after 3 months from buying the phone

What carrier sim are you using. Big risk buying from pawn shop, you never know what you are getting. Since demo unit it could have been a stolen phone. So many good re-sale options other than pawn shop.

i use telekom mobile romania

If this is a Live Demo Unit it does not have any cellular functions. You will not be able to get any signal - sorry.

I just received mine from the same dealer.
I do not use Samsung pay, but I tested and my french Mastercard is not accepted, maybe Paypal.

and what about french friendly firmware flashing ?
Does the phone access cell networks without issues, above all the 5G (even if don't care so much about 5G) ?

I can't answer you yet, I only had Xiaomi and this is my first Samsung.
No 5g antenna or so I'm not on a 5g plan.
Currently I am looking for a solution for the call recorder
Edit;
I tried with a Visa Premier, the same.
