Hello, I just read from gsmarena that the new Galaxy S 2 is being sold in Korea fot about $425 dollars, it should be more expensive in the UK due to transportation and taxes....
Does anyone know a korean website that sells phones internationally similar to handtec.co.uk or clove.co.uk in the UK??
SGS 2 forum try .

I wanted to buy a Samsung Galaxy S II. The webshop where I would buy it, has a pre-order price of 549€: http://www.smartphoneshop.be/product/123781/samsung-galaxy-s-ii.html
However that model is without NFC chip, so I cancelled my order. They also told me that Samsung will not release an Galaxy S II with NFC for the Belgian market.
So my only remaining option is to buy one abroad. I'm not asking for generic web shops, I ask for very specific experiences with web shops that are able to deliver to Belgium.
I have also found out that there are different variations of the Galaxy S II. As far as I know, these are the main differences:
processor: Nvidia Tegra or Exynos --> for now, it's equal to me.
display: AMOLED or LCD --> I prefer one with AMOLED
NFC or not --> I really want one with NFC.
I already know that the UK is out of the question (for now), because the UK models don't have NFC. I read somewhere that models with NFC may come available for the UK in the coming months, no date confirmed yet. Maybe in June? If that is true then I can wait another month, no problem.
How about other neighboring countries? Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy,...
Of course this would have to be a phone that is not locked to one telco.
I have not found the answers of these very specific questions in the FAQ. Why am I asking this on XDA-Developers? Because I want to dive into Android development, and I have some ideas that include NFC technology. And why a Galaxy S II? I was in Barcelona at the MWC when Samsung launched it, I got to play with it, and I was really impressed.
So far .

Thanks. I overlooked those, and I guess my initial search was a bit too generic.
This phone is sold for 400 is it worth buying guys? Can I use it with AT&T in English language...Anything I should worry about? I need as many responses as I can get before I head out to get it!
Just got the Spain version from the eBay Daily Deal/Buy.com seller yesterday.
For $400 I guess it's a good deal used.
how do i know if it's GT i9100 or 9100T, the international version vs the US version?
Ask to the seller. You can find model behind the battery.
Regards.

you need to find out if your country's uses the same frequency as the Korean model. I know its 2100 for S Korea but there could be more. The reason why Korean is cheaper could be that only S Korea or a few country's is compatible with Korean models.
I'm using SHV-E210S for a week now, so far it works in China, HK, S'pore and Indonesia. So I guess should be not much different from the international version. There are a few issues I discovered with this model.
1. Battery size is smaller than the international version so you may need to buy backup battery from Korea.
2. Unable to upgrade software/firmware unless you use SK Telecom's USIM.
The advantage I found:
1. This Korean model sports 2GB RAM whereas the international model only has 1GB RAM
Anyone knows more? Pls share!
Hello everybody, my father is going on a flight to China and it's a great opprotunity to finally buy the Galaxy S3.
In my country, the price is about 730$ and I'm guessing that it is much cheaper in China.
However, we all know that the potential to get a fake Galaxy S3 in China is VERY HIGH!
So I'm asking you what are the best shops in China to get the Galaxy S3?? shops where it is 100% genuine and also good price
For example in USA you got "best buy" and stuff like that, so what are the popular shops in China where it's recommended to purchase the Galaxy S3 and how can he avoid getting a fake one??
--- I need the GT i9300 unlocked version ---
Thanks in advance!!
.........?
please don't bump the thread more than once every 24 hours. it's against the rules.
You can go to any major electronics store, I presume
When I was in China, I found a lot of places with S3. Most of the places I went to sold it for around 3800 yuan... I think. Then I went to a legit Samsung store and they sold it for 5000 yuan. I bought mines in Hong Kong for 6000 hk? I don't remember the price. But I think GuangZhou has it too. If you find a place where they ask for money first so they can order it, it's most likely fake. And remember. No refunds.

I currently own a SAMSUNG Galaxy S 7 international variant or SM-G930F which was purchased through BHPhotoVideo. Sadly, they're only selling the North American Variant (which is the SnapDragon variant) and I don't know where I can go to find the international Exynos version. Their website offered reasonable priced unlocked international mobile devices and handled warranties if you needed to return or exchange your device. I already purchased the unlocked Snapdragon SGS9+ through the Samsung website but I wish I could get my hands on the Exynos version. Does anybody know of a reliable online retailer where I can find the unlocked international version? Thanks in advanced.
eBay?

This ebay vendor in Florida offers Exynos variants. Manufactured in Viet Nam but don't expect a warranty.

Clove UK
I am in the US but want the Exynos version of the S9+ (hoping that BCM47755 chip will someday allow 2 cm GNSS resolution). I have read many previous threads about the advantages of European models from Clove (good reputation, two year warranty) vs Asian models from various Ebay vendors (more mixed reputation, no warranty).
Clove is roughly $300 dollars more than the Ebay vendors and I am wondering if I am going to flash a new ROM and void the warranty anyway. is there any reason not to save the money?
