M1803E7SH Taiwan Model

Does anybody have this model? (M1803E7SH)
On Xiaomis Taiwan site (and some other places) the M1803e7SH is listed as having a 12 MP (f/1.9, 1.4µm) camera.
B&H and Amazon.com are selling the same model, but they both list the camera as being a 12MP f2.2, 1.25µm camera.
Did anybody buy this from B&H or Amazon.com? If so, what is the correct spec?

I've only heard chinese taipei, now I understand

Taiwan version and China version have different bands.
Taiwan version has TDD-LTE B38/B40, FDD-LTE B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28
China version has TDD-LTE B34/B38/39/40/41, FDD-LTE B1/3/5/7/8
They both have same f/1.9 rear camera. Maybe Amazon listed the wrong specs?

Note 10+ 5G N9760 (chinese version)

I have the Note 10+ N9750 (4G dual sim), but I really want the 5G. Unfortunately the ones available in the market are the single sim version which was really strange that Samsung decided not to release 5G dual sim except for the Chinese market.
I've searched where to buy this 5G dual sim version and I've only found it online at 4gltemall.
I've been told that it doesn't have Google mobile services on it.
Anyone had the chance to install Google on it and confirm that it works normally with it with no issues?
Thanks in advance.

I've found this thread to answer my questions....

Hi,
Yes I have it and I installed google play on it, with Facebook and all.
Its not a hard issue.
My issue was up to now i could'nt start the 5G in my SM-N9760 even if i'm in a 5G coverage.
When I try to press on *#0011# and choose the sim it shows 5G:Suspend.
I'm trying to get over this hopefully the new update will fix this.
I am in Saudi Arabia not in China and not Chinese.
English is working normally in the mobile except some Chinese applications does'nt matter for me.
I messaged the guy in the 4gltemall few months ago and he told me the same but i bought it from elsewhere and its working like a charm except the 5G issue.
Hope i answered you well.

OMG
The 5G is not working?
I have a note 10+ 4G snapdragon and working flawless without issues and I'm ditching it simply because it doesn't have 5G and the one we have here is the single sim.
I'm in Kuwait by the way, so it will have the same problem.
Do you think it's a band issue or is it settings issue?
Is the VoLTE working?
I want to buy this one in particular because it has 5G and dual sim.
I tried the mate 30 pro 5G but I hated the sound quality and the missing of the volume buttons and the lower screen resolution.

I can't confirm if its band issue or settings,
I will confirm it the moment we get the latest firmware Android 10 in few days coz i'm assuming its firmware bug or issue.
I'll update you later on.
Thanks,

Hi,
As per my knowledge, you need to activate minimum package to get 5G services from Zain KSA (Need to activate shabab 199 package or more to get 5G services) or STC (Please check with their website)
I believe it should work 5G after activate above plan.
Please let us know, you are able to get 5G services or not.

Good day,
what about Samsung Pay app. ?
thanks

I have Note 10× 5G SM-N9760, and I have note one issue with SAMSUNG PASS, it has completely refused to work.
It keeps crashing and the message "samsung pass is temporarily unavailable" keeps popping up. I've tried downloading and installing several updates from online but the problem persists. Is there anyone facing the same kind of problem?

If possible can you please share screenshot of available CSC from phone info, following are the link

Hi,
It is useless for the 5G to work outside of China.
I've messaged the support many times and they told me that there is no plans to activate the roaming 5G and if I need 5G i should go to the telecommunication company and ask them to sign a contract with chinese telecommunication company???
They are hopeless......

S20 Ultra from Chinese ROM to South Korea-Hong Kong ROM is it possible?

Hi guys,
I'm gonna buy a S20 Ultra in China and I would like to change the Chinese ROM with the South Korean ROM or if is not possible with the Hong Kong one.
I know that some Chinese, to save money, buy HK mobiles and change the ROM to Chinese so I think should be possible do the opposite, I think they share the same hardware.
In case is it possible I would prefer the South Korea ROM coz probably it will have faster updates..
Do you know if South Korean and Chinese S20 have exactly the same hardware? To install the Korean ROM hiw can I do? Is it simple and I can do by myself? Do you have any tips?
Many thanks..

Hi,
I don't know about the S20, but I did exactly that with the S10+ (which had a Snapdragon 855 and identical specs across both HK and Chinese version).
It worked better with HK since it didn't have as much bloatware or google restrictions...and english can be made to be default.
I just got my S20+ and will probably be trying this soon as well. Stay tuned.
A.C.

I'm interested too if it is possible to flash a HK ROM on another snapdragon s20+ (SM-G986N). The problem is that the Korean version has bloatware from KT. I did manage to disable most of them, but I would be happier if can come without bloatware out of the box

Great!! Thanks AloxeCorton.. Will be the first time I will do it. So if you have any link to follow the procedure will be really appreciated.
Mishufac I would like install an unlocked ROM so shouldn't have many bloatware. Do you think the SK ROM will have more than HK one?

Mine is KT branded and I know it has more bloatware than HK version. I think if you manage to get KOR national CSC it will be better. Mine is KTC and I haven't managed to change the CSC by flashing KOR version with Odin

You can Switch between China, HK and Taiwan with no problems but not to Korea since it has a different model number.

There is also a big change in the algorithm of fingerprint recording, which can be quickly entered like S9 / Note9.
Fingerprint unlock speed is more agile and transition animation is adjusted better

Samsung pay app on American S20 ultra not working in Brazil. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, I got my S20 ultra (model SM-G988UZKEXAA) in the US when it was first launched. BUT I'm brazilian and live in Brazil.. the S20 ultra model here is different (SM-G988B/DS).
I've had the S10+ and before that the S9 (both international versions) and I used Samsung Pay normally.. BUT now since the model is different it appears that my Brazilian bank is not compatible to that version of Samsung Pay. On the other hand Samsung Pay on the Brazilian model is compatible with my bank.
Is there anything I can do to use it? I added the card but when it connects with the bank to validate the card it does not go thru, says I must get in touch with the bank.
Any sugestions? thanks a lot

Samsung S20 UK Exynos / Snapdragon

HI all,
The response to this will probably dictate where I purchase a new S20 from.
I've been using Apple for years, but wanted to move to Android for a while. I though the S20 looked like a safe bet to make that jump, however reading the reviews on-line - the UK Exynos version appears to suffer from bad performance, bad battery life and compatibility issues.
I've thought about getting the HK version from Wondamobile, but VoLTE and Samsung pay would not work. I wonder if I would be able to flash the phone with the UK firmware? If I could, would it trip KNOX?
I don't do any gaming, I just want a decent phone that's not an Apple. Is it worth the hassle for the Snapdragon or shall I just get the UK version of the phone and get on with my life?

Is impossible to use UK exynos firmware in a HK snapdragon version.
I have a HK snapdragon s9+ and is not possible, and it's true Samsungpay and others don't work. I was thinking the same but with this exynos bull**** a my previous experience I have decided to skip on s20 series and hope for the Note with better exynos chip or better optimize, or s21 [emoji1787]

I'm in Switzerland, wifi calling work, VoLTE just work after one year I still don't know why maybe swisscom fix it. Samsung Pay and others never worked.
For a 1200 gbp phone I think don't worth the headaches you might have.
Forget it. Buy exynos or wait. I will wait until August to see if Samsung manage to optimize camera and soc exynos, or for the Note.
