5 III Asia variant in Europe

Keskisuomi — Mon, 28 Jun 2021 00:57:21 GMT

Hi!

Say I have an obsession with the colour peach, now not coming to Europe/Finland. Can I buy the Asia variant and should I expect problems with network providers?

Thanks so much,

Keskisuomi

Yes, you could face an issue with some related network provider services as the device is not from the same region and might have different specs.

The main issue you'll have is radio bands used by the handset and your network. You'll need to check that the device uses the same bands as the ones used by your network.

If not you may end up on a 2g/3g only service.

You should also note that the device will almost certainly not be covered by a warranty, as the warranty service is based on regions.
