USA VS. HK version of s10 for use in the UK

Given that I’m probably not going to root the phone or anything which unlocked version is better for the UK- do I have to worry about region lock even if it’s carrier unlocked

Hi,
I have been using the U.S Unlocked Snapdragon s10 version in the U.K for a few months.
No issues for me so far.
The only network issue you may run in to, is the 3 Network. The phone does not work on their 2G connections, but all other networks are good to go.
I have traveled in a few EU countries (UK, Spain, Italy, Romania) with my unlocked US S10, using local SIM/carriers (mostly Vodafone, sometimes roaming from one country to another).
I didn't have any issues...

Does region really matter?

I brought a Galaxy watch 3 on Amazon listed in the title as (UK version) yet when I got it and started set up the language was fine but regions were only Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Czech Rep, Slovakia and a few others, yet no UK....
I figure the reason a manufacturer uses regions is because some content may or may not be available in some regions?
I called Amazon and they offered a refund only, no replacement and the biggest kick in the teeth loss of any prime day discount, they stated they could not replace as its a third part seller. He claims the region does not matter, so I came here to try to find out if it does and why?
Thanks for helping me to decide whether to send it back or not. I paid £369.99 for the 45mm
Change the region. There are some guides on youtube how to change the region csc.

Question Model number specific to Europe?

Does anyone know what model number is specific to Europe? All i can find is G998B but theres also G998B/DS and i have no idea what the difference is
I want to make sure i got the correct model for my region and that Samsung Pay will work etc
Is International model and European the same??
DS = Dual Sim
Oh right! I asked because the European model is listed as G998B but my model is G998B/DS and has one or two pre installed apps from Singapore so when i done an imei check it confirmed the region the model belonged to was Singapore.
I just want to know if i will experience any short comings because of this? Im in Ireland so hope it won't affect the warranty and i hope Samsung Pay still works etc

Yes, the variant is the same. Since your device had OXM you have the option to change the CSC to your particular region. DS only means the SM-G988B is a Dual Sim Variant, the FW is identical.
