Time for a new Samsung phone or Android smartphone?
What is the difference between an Australian and overseas
model?
Today many customers jump online and shop for new model Samsung
phone or android smartphone.

Amazon, Kogan, catch.com or ebay you will come across Galaxy s10 or Galaxy Note 10 at $200- $600
off the price of JBHIFI.
That’s Great! Right?
Well let’s look at why
Not all models are created equal
Manufacturers like Samsung make variations of the same phone.
Quick way to know:
Australian models are x1 / single sim
Overseas models have x2 / dual sim
Australian models have higher Chipsets and components
Overseas models may have different Chipsets and components
Australian models have all the frequencies and sub frequencies
for all Australian networks.
Overseas models may have the main frequencies but do not

This will affect you in voice quality and data speeds.

Overseas models have software and Apps that are not for Australia
and in English.
