N920C is the international variant but N920I should also be okay and no, they don't have locked bootloaders.
You can check which variant is best for you by going to this site:

And selecting the device model and your sim provider

You can't use VoLTE on N960W in India.
VoLTE requires Indian CSC which is only available on N960F (Exynos).
N960W (Snapdragon 845) is intended for Canada only.

No, you can't use VoLTE on any Indian carrier.
You can however make voice calls using 3G and use LTE for data only.

5G problem of US variant in other country

I'm in US and want to buy a X1 ii now. But I do have some questions:
1. I know the US version does not support 5G. But is it the carrier issue or the US version lacks some hardware? If I use the US version in Hong Kong or Taiwan, will it work on 5G or should I flash some ROM to enable it? (in other words, are the hardwares all the same in different versions?)
2. The US version only has one SIM while I prefer a dual SIM version. So if I managed to get a HK version or EU version, can I use it in US without too much trouble? Will the other versions have 5G in US?
Thanks!

1. The US model is the same as the single SIM EU model. It works with 5G when flashed with the correct FW.
2. You can only use it with US carriers with US FW, since you need that to enable VoLTE provisioning on US carriers which will soon drop 3G in favor of VoLTE only. And US FW doesn't support dual SIM, though it can be flashed on a dual SIM model.

Thanks! According to your answer, if I'm going to stay in US for a while, a US version with US firmware is necessary to enjoy VoLTE (but never 5G in US). And I could flash it with, say Asian firmware, to use 5G in other regions than US. The dual SIM version, although not sold in US, can be used in the same way as mentioned here. Am I right?

Yes, though when running the US firmware it will ignore a second SIM.

Thanks a lot! It seems like Sony's marketing is pretty bad. Customers need to DIY a lot.

Flashing "international rom"

Hello, I've bought G781B/DS. I think it's the UAE version (Snapdragon, dual sim). Should I only flash G781B fws? Is there any international version?

im unaware of the existence of an international version, but on all previous galaxy models with different carrier versions, all snapdragon firmwares were cross compatible with all snapdragon equipped phones. I had a UAE market A8 and i flashed the Spain, France, Germany and Canadian versions on it.

How to convert note 9 korea to international version

I bought Korean samsung note 9.is there any way to convert frimware to international version
My model is SM-960N CAN I flash SM-960F frimware which is International version

No way to do that with official firmware. Some custom roms can force the N variant as dual sim though

Are you having issues with your N960N? As I have a N960N as my backup device and it functions flawlessly without any issue. I use it for a few months while I was repairing my N950N. Now I currently use it to back up my N950N as a backup device.

You could just install the stock Samsung N960N OS onto your device and that will remove all the bloatware. I personally have the LG U+ variant of the N950N, I just disable all the LG U+ bloatware and ignore the ones that I can't.

If you have the stock Samsung N960N OS installed onto your device and it is running smoothly. I don't see the point in installing the N960F OS onto it.
Please provide a screenshot of what you are trying to explain as I don't see those options on my N960N
