hi, there are different models on sale right now and I am wondering what's their difference?
for example:
SM-G990BLGFEUB
SM-G990BZADEUB
both are labled as Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G 128GB smartphone graphite
This might be connected to my my thread I just opened about S21 FE " new edition". The FEUB seems to be an "updated" version and the one that Samsung is actually selling on their website. Only info is "New AP". It might be the same difference as SM-990B and SM-990B2, which I was asking about here:
What is the S21 FE new edition?
Hi all! While looking around for a S21 FE I realised that a lot of available phones (here in Middle Europe) have the product number SM-G990B2 (the 2 is added). They always seem to have India as manifacturing country instead of Vietnam like the...

I'm looking to buy this model SM-9600 unlocked which is sold in Latam and China, this comes with SnapDragon according to Gsmarena.
My concern is if this will be compatible in Europe/Spain as I will be travelling next week. What I've noticed in Spanish sites is that they sell the Exynos variation SM-960F.
What is puzzling to me, is that in GSMarea, it seems to indicate that this model SM-960F is compatible? for Europe and Global markets.
Does that make any sense, or both models are compatible all over the world.
Thanks,
I'm on Verizon in the US, but if there's an international unlocked model (or even a US unlocked model) that doesn't have 5g (and is therefore $200 cheaper or something) then obviously I'd rather get that. Does it exist?
Yes. My region on Malaysia, only the s20 Ultra is 5G. S20+ and s20 is 4g with 8gb ram 128gb storage. 1 esim 1 nanosim slot and 1 dedicated sdcard slot.

Whatever the model is, I assume it's just the "international unlocked s20+ 4g"? Is it available to US consumers?
Yes, there are two versions Galaxy S20+ 4g version and Galaxy S20+ 5g version.
In Germany you can select between all S20 models if you want a 4G or 5G variant.
I think International S20 and S20+ model have the lowest spec that Samsung offer because it only came with Exynos 990 and 8GB of Ram and 4G network instead of Snapdragon 865 12GB of ram. Obviously it will be cheaper because of the cost. However the spec is good enough to last you another 4 years.

You asked regarding international models. It definitely is not available to American consumers because.. Americans is offered American variants.
You can try to purchase one on the internet that is willing to ship it to you though.
Honestly I will advise against it though. The americans have their own variants for a very good reason and you won't have warranty on the event the phone misbehave. I personally won't buy something this expensive without warranty.

Hi there! As far as I know , Samsung launched their S20 lineup in Korea with Snapdragon, but mine is with Exynos. Actually I'm not aware if there are 2 versions for the Korean market but according to phone info , mine is made in Korea and its with Snapdragon. This is my first made in Korea phone so I'm not aware ^^
Korean versions only, not all made in Korea.

Okay , thanks everyone!
I recently purchased a Samsung S 21 FE G-990B/DS from a reseller in South Africa and only found out a bit too late that this model with the Snapdragon processor is an import device.
Due to this I am unable to get software updates for the device and cannot use Samsung Pay as confirmed by Samsung South Africa
However, as I understand the Snapdragon model is the best one to get, is there anyway the situation can be saved with possibly loading a correct firmware for the device for South Africa?
This is the current firmware parameters:
AP: G990BXXU1AUH4
CP: G990BXXU1AUH4
CSC: G990BOXM1AUH4

It appears that South Africa is also getting a Snapdragon variant. I do not see a firmware available (at this time) - however luck may be on your side for one to appear in the near future.

Hello,
I do see the article is based on the Galaxy S 22 that's newly launching. But crossing fingers that it will carry over to the S 21 FE as well for future models.
If the only problem is not being able to update, you could flash the newer firmware manually. I used https://samfw.com/ and I had no problem, would be nice if someone confirmed that this site is legit.
Just search the model and choose the firmware you want and there should be instructions on the site. If you don't want to lose your apps, user data and settings, you should use HOME_CSC... file instead of CSC...
Hi everyone so I was planning on buying a S21 FE 5G in the next days and I want everyone's opinion about it like buying or not, however I wanted to know if there is an available password list that I can use to disable retail mode and also can you guys tell me the disadvantages of owning it?
P.S: I don't care about IMEI or SIM Card because I have a secondary phone. and thanks for reading
