[Q] i9195 ZKAPHE - What do the letters mean?

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 ?

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.

Is there a professional Samsung unblacklisting service that actually works?

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy s9(SM-G960W) from a friends daughter. I paid $100CAD for it and after she left my house, she hasn't come back at all. The phone, I found out is blacklisted and my sim card doesn't even work in it.
Is there a professional team or company that can get my phone unblacklisted? :angel:
Possibly change the IMEI number to another clean samsung galaxy s9 that I can get from ebay(broken smashed phones).
I would like to buy a broken galaxy s9 from eBay, how would I change the IMEI on this phone that I already have to match that of the one that of the broken s9 that I'm scoping out on eBay right now?
Please and thanks for reading, : )

We don't discuss about blacklisted devices on XDA developers. Better to contact seller or Samsung.

Question Country of origin?

Hey guys, I'm seeing a lot of posts coming from Z Fold4 owners who bought their phone on the refurbished market and that can't set up Wallet.
Those phones are often listed as coming from the country where they are being sold. But Samsung Wallet (Pay) doesn't lie and will only be able to get set up in the country of origin.
Now in Europe, most Z Fold4 come with the EUX firmware (except for a few service providers firmwares that remain there and there).
My question is : Is there a way to know the country of origin of a Z Fold4?
The only way I've found so far is to ask a Samsung representative the country by giving out the IMEI number.
Isn't there another way..?
Thanks a lot!

I can't set up Samsung Wallet either, and I bought my phone one the Samsung Store during the pre-order period.
The issue is that I live in France but Wallet seems to think I'm from Germany, for no reason, so I can't achieve the enrollment.
I just think they messed up something with the new CSC policy.
I told them but nothing has been done since August.
I have a S21U on the side, and everything is working perfectly on it, same location and SIM.
So don' count on it and use Google Pay if you can.

Thank you! So you bought the Fold4 on the Samsung Shop while living in France?
Then there is definitely something wrong. I'll send a report as well, in hopes that the issue gets looked at.

Yep Samsung Shop France.
There is something wrong with the EUX CSC.
