Help Note 4 NOT European/UK model for use in UK.

[Harper 7]

Hi,
I'm hoping to buy a sim free Note 4 soon and am wondering if buying an SM-N910G - Singapore, India, Australia or SM-N910U - Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Chile for example would pose any problems for use in UK? They seem to be cheaper than the F (Europe) model and I'm wondering if there's good reason for that.

Thanks in advance.

The ones from Asia might seem cheaper because they don't have UK VAT on them at 20%.. No doubt they'll work OK but it's warranty, Samsung UK won't provide warranty service for say a Hong Kong version Note 4. Any problems, you'll have to ship it back to where it came from. And you may not get Android updates either, operating a Samsung out of region.

Prices quoted in HK don't include sales tax, it's added at the time of purchase. And HK sales tax is much lower than UK VAT anyway.
