Anyone know the difference between the canadian version of the galaxy mega i527m and the US AT&T version i527. Honestly I am new to android and wanted to buy one of these phones. Being a noob I assumed there was only one north american version. I am canadian so I ended up buying one from a ebay seller in canada, who's auction shows what looks to be a canadian device according to the photos of the box and model number, so I ended up buying it and am currently waiting for its arrival, but then soon after I bought it, I read on here about someone who bought one from the same ebay seller and received a brand new unlocked AT&T version. So if this ends up being the case for me as well, will the AT&T version work the same for me on my canadian carrier Telus? Will I be able to use the Telus LTE network for data? What other differences would their be?
Thanks in advance
The m version has the extra 1700mhz lte band in order to make it compatible with robelus' lte network. I don't think that you will get lte with the sgh-i527 version.
I almost did the same thing as you until I figured it out. So, I bought it locally in canada instead.

Hello guys. Apparently the SM-G850A cannot be rooted (I want to install Xposed) so I am thinking of getting an unlocked SM-G850F. But I cannot confirm if SM-G850F will work with AT&T? And not sure if there are any other differences between the SM-G850F and the SM-G850A?
Won't get LTE on AT&T.

Dang! Thanks. Do you know if any of the other variants will work with AT&T LTE? The other variants can be rooted.
Only the A version, which cannot yet be rooted.

Obviously the 850 A will work on AT&T and it
looks like the 850 M might but triple check because I have heard that Exynos do not get LTE in USA / Canada.
Your other best possibility for ATT is the
Alpha SM G 850 W8 this is a Qualcomm Version used
by Canada Bell which.seems to have all the Bands
for AT&T and TMobile USA .
Don't know about rooting.
I found a SM-G850A Which was rooted for ssome reasons
Idk how to do it but all I know that it's possible?
With one way or another
I'm in the us air force in korea and my nexus 5 just broke. I'm looking at the g2 and need some help determining which model will work best in both Korea and the USA.
The At&t model or the T-Mobile model?

Based on info from these two places i would go tmob as it supports a 4g band that is supported in south korea and at&t does not, but i couldnt say as far as contracts were concerned.

There are many different variants of the Galaxy S6 edge. Why are there only subcategories for the US variants?
Here's a list that I could find. I think there may be more too...
SM-G9250 (China, HK)
SM-G925A (AT&T)
SM-G925F (Global)
SM-G925FQ (Turkey)
SM-G925I (LATAM, Singapore, India, Australia)
SM-G925K, SM-G925L, SM-G925S (Korea)
SM-G925P (Sprint)
SM-G925T (T-Mobile)
SM-G925W8 (Canada)
It would be better to be categorized according to Model number rather than careere.
probably because this is an English speaking, USA based forum
you forgot g925v.. verizon... probably the largest US carrier lol

SM-G925R is the Us Cellular variant. Ik there aren't nearly as many USC users as the big 4 but their worth mentioning since they're completely unlocked.

Since JB Online LLC purchased it on January 10, 2010 (source). Before that, I believe it was Dutch owned.

So the Pirate Bay being hosted in Sweden means it should be in Swedish and only cater to Swedish users? Location of the server and language aren't relevant, the users make a social site like xda and the question above is a valid one if it's deemed that a large proportion of S6 users have a non-US variant.
In agreement that subcategories should by according to the model, or at least extend to international carriers....

I never said anything about only "catering" to any body; if thats your perception, than its your error

I do not think G925F is global necessarily. It's for Europe... I found out G9250 has the most comprehensive list of supported 3g, LTE bands.
Has anyone been able to receive 5G in Europe with the US U1 Galaxy S23 Ultra?
Apparently it does in the UK. but that's not Europe

The UK is a part of Europe. Just because they are not a part of the European Union doesn't mean they aren't a part of the European continent.
