CSC Country as Lollipop?

[EckyThump80]

I downloaded phone info as I was struggling to register mine on the Samsung Web site. I bought it from the Internet, fast delivery and a good price.
Phone info tells me that the Tab is a South African one but I live in the UK.
So the question is, will I get lollipop when the UK does or will I get it when South Africa does?
Confused? I am.....

If your CSC code is XFE then all updates will come from South Africa, doesn't matter what country you are in.

It's XFM if that makes any difference?
Can it be changed to the UK or does it matter?
sorry for the questions

Is it SM-T805? For some reason I thought it was a wi-fi only model. Will it not be easier to manually flash BTU firmware when it's released in the UK?

It is a T805 4G + Wi-Fi.
I've got to be honest, I have no idea what BTU is or how to flash it. Yeh I know.. total novice

BTU is the CSC code for the unlocked UK models. You can download the firmware from sammobile.com (when it's released) and flash it with Odin [Guide][Samsung] How to flash Stock ROM via ODIN with the New Interface. It's quite a simple thing to do and as long as you follow the instructions to the letter nothing should go wrong. But if you're not sure and think that you may brick your device or in any doubt I suggest you do not attempt it and wait for the OTA update.

That's all understood and thank you very much for helping me out.
