I contacted Samsung support via text. I'm not sure they fully understood what I was asking, but they claim that if the phone is unlocked that you should be able to use a SIM from any different carrier. They were unable to answer the question of if all the right bands would be supported.

That's a good question too. Not sure if this helps or not, but several years ago I purchased an international factory unlocked version of the S7 Duos (SM-G930FD) with the Exynos chip meant for the UK. I wanted it partly because the Exynos version was said to be faster and better than the AT&T...

Hello, I have been trying to find an S20 5G International version (G981B) to use while in England. It's been hard to come by in the US and have so far been unable to get one. I do have a G981U1 factory unlocked from Samsung already, would it be possible to bring that and have it work properly...

I just got a new S20. I have a fast wireless charger in my car that I've been using with my old S7 and S10. It's worked fine for them, until I put my new S20 on it and got the following message. I was under the impression that a fast charger was a fast charger regardless of the phone. Is...

OP, I have noticed a similar issue on my GS7 that happened immediately after my update to Nougat. However I've found that the issue only occurs when I've got the wireless radio turned on. The moment I turn OFF wireless, suddenly I get all my emails! It's very strange. capT

Sammy, I ended up purchasing the S7 in pearl white from Amazon, unlocked, from the UK. It actually ended up coming as a dual SIM interestingly enough. So far, I've not had any real problems with it, and I like it very much. The charger it came with was for the UK, so I had to get my own...

Ok, so I have kind of an odd question. I have the pearl white, international model Galaxy S7 (SM-G930FD). When I go t the contacts application, and go to More, Settings, I see the following: I do not see any way to sort my contacts by Last Name. I know that the software for this model is...

In case anyone is interested, I just found a very interesting post here on AC that has some good info. http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s7/640118-s7-cellular-band-support-chart-usa.html#post4982370 There is a link there to a willmyphonework.net, which once I went there, looks...

Hmm, I'll have to look and see where I saw this again, but I saw an article somewhere that did a comparison between the US and Int'l version of the slow motion feature, and found that the US version had glitches, where the Int'l version was smooth as can be. Ah, here it is: Snapdragon 820...

Hey Emerald, are you referring to the slow motion video feature of the S7 perhaps? Just saw something on YouTube called Hi Speed Shutter when referring to the S7, and it was the slo-mo feature. Just wondering if that might be what you are thinking of? capT

I know! I was quite impressed too! I'd actually seen that video prior to posting this thread, and was one of the reasons I'm so keen on going with the Int'l version. I'm beginning to wonder if it's really going to be that big of a deal other than maybe warranty issues? Ironass has pretty...

Ok fellas, no need to turn a simple question into an all out war and mudfight. Let's see if we can be a little more civil to each other please? Thank you Ironass for posting the User manuals, those were really quite interesting. A fun find if you will. From what I can see so far, it sounds...

Most of that doesn't bother me, but I do use Visual Voicemail. Hmmm... Can't that be downloaded from Google Play? Or some other equivalent of it? I actually sometimes use the Usage Manager too, but not often. Otherwise, I don't use any of the others. As for VoLTE, is that really...

Yeah, ok, that's the type of info I'm looking for, little gotcha's like that. Is that band required for AT&T do you think? Yeah, I saw that video, those are good links too, though I'm not interested in rooting. That second link seems to show me that the international version is just a bit...

Ok, so every time I go into any store where they are selling the S7, every single salesman tells me "oh, this is Octa-Core, and has Liquid Cooling" etc. I've been trying to do my homework, and make sure I know what's what before I ask stoopid questions. From what I can tell from looking at the...
