Diference between g928C, g928i & g9287?

[kuhns787]

Can someone clear something up for me I have heard so many different things. What is the difference between the g928c, 928i, and the g9287 is it just the region or does it have to do with the storage size or both? Thanks

The last letter, i is the int'l version. Just like the US here, there is A, V, T and P. Different regions have different end letters, they all have slight different bands as well, so make sure u get one that'll work best with your carrier. Also, they so not represent whether it's a 32 or 64gb. Check gsmarena for more details on the models available.

Thanks I have At&t here in the USA and want to make sure I get the right one. I am having a hard time finding a white one and the only one I can seem to find is a 928c and I am not sure that will work well with mine I went to Gsmarena and that wasn't much help it didn't show what the g9287, the g928i or the g928g was for. I already know the 928c I believe is from Dubai at least the one I ordered off Amazon that I returned was.

c is the Asian model. If you're on AT&T and trying to get an unlocked International Version, normally you need to plug in these settings to get 4G to work.

So does that mean the one that ends with C would have worked ? It's been a while since I have used an international phone.

Don't get me to lying. I'm stuck on VZW. I can only use VZW approved devices. At least there are workarounds for AT&T. If you had one, you can always try the settings above and see if it'll work.

Anyone ever buy from Tech Mobility I think their website is techsmobs.com? I was able to find some 64gb ones there.

I still can't seem to find one every time I try to order on AMazon I encounter some issue. Any help would be appreciated as to who might be reputable and actually have a white international one in stock yes it has to be white.

If you can find someone to ship overseas on Swappa, I've had a lot of luck on Swappa. There was a site that sold unlocked phones, but I can't find it. Something like 32mobile? I don't remember, but it's not showing up on Google.

I ended up ordering a White International G928C from Expansys USA and they were the best price and quickest shipping, great service and the phone works wonderful! I highly recommend them.

No. Please avoid buying from a region away from yours. Samsung has (for several seasons now) region locks. A Dubai version would not work with a Euro or N.American SIM without a Region Lock Code.

Not true worked just fine no code needed. Internet works as well. I did however have to send it back for screen issues but they are sending me a replacement g9287.
