Lets share some info about this..
HK Note 5 N9200 has gapps installed. Definitely has less developement on this device compare to N920* International version.
China Note 5 will not have gapps installed. 100% Firm unless someone modded it.
Anyone got their note 5 from hk/cn/tw already ?
I just ordered one on eBay from Taiwan.

Is in N9208 Google apps and other international languages?
I haven't received it yet sorry
I got an offer for SM-N9200 but I am hesitant whether it has google services installed and all that or not. It is from HK though so it makes sense for it to have those, but would still love confirmation either way. Once you get it, let us know
EDIT: nevermind, found a video that shows that N9200 actually comes with Play Store etc. youtube.com/watch?v=ucGQJA8KJR4
would this model work her in slovenia?

hk version = gapps will always comes with the device preinstalled...
china version = no gapps preinstalled...
note 5 is still not out in china, only s6 edge+, got mine from HK confirm with gapps
Yeah, all android phones come with gapps in HK.
Hi there can someone confirm wether the Note 5 N9200 dous comes with playstore on stock. I'm looking to purchase one here in the uk.
Just got my N9200 in HK yesterday, i can confirm that GAPPS are included.
Anyone able to find a root kernel for this variant?
Can anyone please tell me if the N9200 will get LTE on the Canadian Rogers network?
I just found this link supposedly with a root for the N9200
http://apk.tw/thread-706898-1-1.html
Do any of you guys speak Chinese and can translate? Is this trustworthy?
I'm wondering, is there any other difference between Galaxy Note 5 N920 and N9200 beside the fact that N9200 is dual sim and N920 is not?
I found them both in my country and the N9200 Chinese version (I think) looks nice if it's the same as N920 but is also dual SIM. It's just another point for it.
I have a N9200 one. It is the same especification as N920. I was thinking that I would be able to put a sd card in slot 2 as A3,A5 and A7 samsung's phones but It is not possible???
The difference between HK and China version, that China's doesn't come with Gapps, and doesn't have app drawer.
Its not a problem to install Gapps, but you'll have to use different launcher for the drawer.
Still waiting for root. I want to install some clean rom with out 300 samsung apps...

Yeah bro, all the reviews said you cannot..
@JN9 - Well, at least it's dual-sim, if you need that. Too bad it doesn't have a microSD card slot, because Android M allows users to use cards as internal storage for apps and more, but that's that. We have to deal with it.

Any thoughts. Both N9200 and N9208 support the same LTE bands. I assume the difference is something to do with level of Chinese language support? I ask as I have N9208 and this set to English does not work consistently for keyboard predictions and S Pen handwriting input, not as good as the UK only Note 4.
I did some research. Looks like both models the same except N9208 is dual SIM. So both probably have special support for Chinese.

Perhaps I need to reset. So your S Pen input instead of keyboard with the 4 quadrants works okay?

Hey mate, how did you go with English language support issues on your Note 5, as I'm planning to get 9208, but want to make sure, everything works as normal. Any help is appreciated.

Do I need to root?
Do you have the same problem living
briefly
Do you have finished this problem?
what should I do ?
Does anyone have information?
Could you please help me ?
both N9200 and N9208 are dual-sim
but N9200 it have extra CDMA bands (2G CDMA - CDMA800 , 3G CDMA- BC0(800), 3G TD-SCDMA B34(2010), B39(1880))
N9200 are for Hong Kong and China Open
N9208 are for Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mayanmar, Indonesia, India, Mayalesia, Philipines
in rest are the same
I have a N9200 HK model which I got imported. Now I am using the phone in India, is it possible to flash N9208 firmware on N9200 from sammobile via odin as both are dual sim phones with same hardware.
so... when I put rom from N9208 to N9200 should be ok with bands on second sim ?

I am quite certain that N9208 ROM won't work on N9200 since none of the other N9208 ROMs work on N9208 (not even N9208 Indian ROM works on Taiwan variant) (pretty differently built hardware maybe). Since there is no cross-device compatibility of N9208 with any other, hence I am guessing that vice-versa also may not be possible. It could return an error in ODIN during flashing.
Although, I'd say you may be lucky if you try downloading from sammobile and flashing through ODIN. Let us know how it goes, it may be helpful for folks who have been trying to install cross-device stock ROM on Note5 (especially us N9208 Taiwan variant users). :fingers-crossed:
I'm just curious which version of the note 5 (n920X) has the best modification capability. I'm asking this cuz before I bought a n900v, a Verizon note 3 and it had a lock bootloader and it didn't have many rooms to install. Which version of note 5 has the most rom compatibility I guess that's the question. I can buy n920 (s, l, k, p)and also n9200 (Hong kong) version. If I didn't mention any please also tell me also thank you
Hello everyone,
I'm looking to buy the best possible Exynos Galaxy Note 8, and I'm surprised and lost on the number of models available.
Would N950N be a good choice? I would like to replace the ROM by a stock-based one as usual, install TWRP, root, etc.
Would this model work in Brazil and USA on roaming?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

it works, but you'll end up flashing a 950F-based ROM anyway as all the development is using those as a base.
as for "works in Brazil and USA on roaming" that entirely depends on which bands you need.

They are identical hardware, and if you are flashing a ROM anyway the software won't matter either.
The only real consideration I can think of is internal storage, since I believe the 950F is still only available as 64gb, while the N can be bought in a 256gb version.
Get the UK or UAE unlocked dual sim 64 gb version. I have the UK one from Samsung UK. I have my UK EE sim and AT&T sim active. I'm on rooted magisk Dr. Ketan Rom N4 with Iron Kernel 1.1.2. OEM UNLOCK available immediately and still post rom install. Wonda Mobile has the UAE version.
You can get the 950F 128GB in mexico
I really prefer to have the 6GB/256GB Exynos version, so N950N seems a good choice.

Hi all! I bought the S10 from eBay not knowing it was the Chinese variant.
I have at&t, and it supports all but two of ATT's bands, so I'm fine there.
I just have one question: Will I be able to flash a stock ROM of a different variant through Odin? Like the US Snapdragon variant for example.
So.. No one knows? I wanna verify before I try to flash a ROM
No you will not really be able to do as you wish without substantial customization and editing of the files you want to flash.
What you are asking is as unlikely as being able to flash the TMO version with the AT&T software.. BUT.. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, unlike the other dual SIM variants the unit you purchased comes with a unlocked bootloader out of the box -- whereas all the other variations -- the bootloader is locked so you will be able to flash custom roms down the road which should cover you.
Samsung pay in a few other things those won't work as I understand it.
---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------
oh and I forgot this nugget of very important information
If you flash anything other than dual SIM variant software you will lose the dual-sim functionality.
Further, I'm not sure how that might affect your micro SD card slot since the hardware is a little different on that device.
Summary: i wouldn't recommend using anything other than dual SIM variant software.
I was wrong however, from like hardware to like hardware there is a way -- see this post. an example of single Sim to single-sim how to do it.

As others have said, do not do this or you may brick your phone. The model number and bootloader are different between US and non-US Snapdragon versions. I had tried it on my S8 and it won't boot.

It is only possible to flash other other SM-G9730 models, not 973U like the US models. As there is only one other firmware you can flash, I think you can flash the Hong Kong version as it is closer to the US version than the chinese version is (Chinese and Hong-Kong have the same version)
Hi, I wonder if it's possible to convert Hong Kong variant of S20 FE 5G (SM-G7810) to European version (SM-G781B). What I have to do?
Please help me!
it is impossible to do
I am interested too, since I bought a SM-G780 model, which will be delivered to me in the next few days and I would like to carry out the same operation, I have already downloaded the Italian CSC ITV firmware SM-G781B; through Odin, can it be done? The phones have the same features, same processor, change the RAM which in the SM-G780 is 8GB, while in the SM-G781B it is 6GB. Thanks.

do not give people false hope, this method will not work.
I can say that it will work 100%
Voice HD+ (EVS full band 128kbit/s) you only need to correct the configuration a little.
And flash G7810 to G781B - not possible!

I still have to receive the smartphone, I found the difference between the G7810 and G781global on this forum.
So what are the substantial differences then? And is it possible to put a Firmware / Global Rom while keeping the original phone, that is, without root and with OTAs?

I don't understand what you are trying to say.
First you pasted some screenshot without showing second one for global version (for which rom is it?)
Once you say it will work then you say it won't
As to WiFi calling I am using it all the time at home with Chinese version.

Perfect. While the Google PlayStore, and other services work? There are no problems or report at the software level I mean!
Because for my country Italy, the frequencies of use of the G7810 are fine! So I was more interested in removal or software related problems!
Thanks a lot for the answer
its not posibil to do that and you dont need to do it you will get the update later in february.
Today arrived my 7810. As I need to be avle to use phone-recording I always did the CSC-trick trouwgh the THL-roms on S8, S9, S10 etc.
Therefore I am curious if there is a way to make phone recording work native as described above, or through app as ACR-call recorder on THY ( Hongkong-ROM).
For hardware the difference between 781B ( Global) & 7810 (Hongkong & China) is 6 GB vs 8GB.
That's probably why people think it is possible to flash other ROM into 7810 .

First have you forgotten the fack this is an international forum, where english isnt for a lot of people tghier first language. And secondly being insulting helps no one.
If you can a technical reason as to why the OP can't just flash a G781B stock rom to his G7810 device, that would more productive. Will it for example just not work and soft-brick his device requiring flashing back to G7810 firmware etc..?

I'm thinking of buying the hongkong version from Canada. The process of unlocking the bootloader and rooting will be easier in this version right? Will the custom ROMs be compatible with the 8 GB hongkong version?
Otherwise I will go with the Canadian version.
