The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have been officially available worldwide and this seems to be the year that Samsung will recover and gain the market share. However, many buyers are not aware that there are some different models of those phones.
Therefore, your phone might get worst or better battery life and performance than buyers in another country. This is because Samsung equips different chipsets for their phones. Depending on the market, your phone might have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 or a Samsung Exynos 8890. Some benchmarks showed that the Snapdragon 820 is significantly more powerful in graphics processing while the Exynos 8890 is more efficient in terms of heat and battery consumption.
The model number of your Galaxy S7 can be found on the box or on the back of your phone. The SM-G930* models are for Galaxy S7 while SM-G935* models are for Galaxy S7 Edge. You might see a model number like SM-G930F, SM-G930K, SM-G930T, SM-G930A, SM-G935F, SM-G935A, SM-G935T, etc.

Matthew says
so there is a difference in quality between different model numbers
Gareth Cridland says
Yes, difficult one is’nt it?
Jose M. says
Yes, the only difference is the models outside the USA have an octa-core processor.
Andrei says
How about in middle east?
Thanks!
Jose M. says
Oh, and an unlocked bootloader as well. (Meaning it can be rooted)… and also it comes factory unlocked
helo says
no
Gareth Cridland says
Thank you for this important info. It all started with enquiry to supplier, S7 Edge picture (says for illustration purposes only) alongside S7 price! Misleading add, they know what they are doing. So you also need to be aware of the differing model numbers that refer to chipsets. One thing I was trying to steer away from is anything Chinese built, I have a lot of broken items now in my home many Made in China. Looks like roulette, phones made in S. Korea, Vietnam and China, ho hum, still looks good product though. The G9350 seem to command the higher price though that have Snapdragon chipset?
Lawan says
For more information all the cellphone you buy are made in china whether Apple iPhone or Samsung blackberry because the biggest electronics factory that manufacturers all this gagget are here in china Shenzhen city Tianjin city and shanghai then Hong Kong after production they will send to their belongings industry for assembly and you can only identify cellphone only through their software and if you know the software of the cellphone and easy way you can talk with the company help center to identify for you but don’t say like all Chinese products are fake oh no this is ignorance to say that I’m not a Chinese man but I know what electronic are in china tell anybody apple phone blackberry Samsung all manufactured here in china before shipping to their company for assembly
Ken M says
My daughter says her phone was made in china but it looks like glass to me
micky says
their dimension are the same right?
MNA says
is there FM Radio in any version of Galaxy S7?
i checked with one seller about the FM Radio (which runs without internet), they said there is FM Radio in S7 G9300.
1. My first preference is FM Radio.
2. Second: 4G LTE phone
3. Third: FDD-LTE Band 3 (1800) + TDD-LTE Band 40 (2300) & Band 41 (2500)
is there any phone which supports the above? i am ready to buy.
Waiting for your reply,
Thanks,
MNA
Bo Meyer says
No FM radio in sm-g935f. Is I know only in US model.
Femi says

Eduardo says
Is the phone S7 G935FD suitable for Europe?
Will says
What about Nigeria
Alex says
It seems Qualcomm versions have problem with overheating.
Eric P says
Update fixed qualcomm over heating problem. The big epidemic with edge phones are dark spots near the edges of the screen which is a major concern.
Femi says
And also the pink line on the screen and there is nothing you can do about it except expensive screen replacement
Peterson says
My S7edge type is SM-G935FD2

Moz says
Does anyone know which models are suitable to use in Australia?
Shane steer says
Samsung s7 edge sm-g935fd (dual sim). Anyone had problems with ‘no sim’ when activated sim inserted in Australia. I tried Optus. Also no ‘mobile networks’ in settings anywhere. But specs say it is a GSM phone & Optus checked MMEI number & also said it should work.
Jess says
You’ll need to adjust the APN settings and add your service provider
Talha says

Carole says
Hi,
I went to the Samsung website to get updates on software for my galaxy S7 Edge phone .
I had to type in the model# which is SM-G935A . But they listed 3 versions of that # ………………
SM-G935AZDAATT , SM-G935AKAATT , and SM-G935AZSAATT
How do I find out which applies to my phone ? AT&T is my provider. I can’ t find any listing of these extended model #’s in the “About” section of my phone.
Thanks
Tuan Do says
I guess you can choose any of those versions, those extra characters refer to different colors of the same model SM-G935A.
Derek says
Just use update manually under about phone.
MUSA IRVINE says
Which version is stronger the samsung s7 of china or korea. Thanks
João says
I’ve bought an unlocked s7 edge from Samsung.com, the model is sm-935U. It will work in Brazil with all features? Including 4g connection?
Luiz Neto says
Same case as mine.
This model is working well in Brazil, even with 4G/LTE connection, but I’ve been trying to change the language because it doesn’t come with Portuguese (Brazil) option.
As I’ve read in many foruns and websites, this SM-935U is sold only in USA and comes with Snapdragon chip.
The other model, SM-935F comes with the Exynos chip and Portuguese (Brazil) language.
So, I’m a little bit afraid to bricket my phone trying to root it with 935F.
Is there someone who had tried before or had sucess changing the language ?
Jeka says
You don’t need to root in order to install another interface language, like Portuguese. Just install in your PC adb software and change permissions in your phone (via USB cable). After that you install MoreLocale 2 (or similar) app from Google Play and select your language from there. Your Knox will not be tripped.
Xin Xin says
Don´t work 100% some apps remains without translations (like settings)
rodrigo says
Luiz, I bought a model SM-935u, but you sure it work 4g on brasil using VIVO claro or TIM?
KABANDA RICHARD says
What about in uganda Africa
yomomma says
Just use smoke signals
Patrick says
Can I replace my SM-G9350 LCD screen with an SM-G935FD? Bought this phone from Hong Kong and currently using it In SE Asia. The Samsung service center won’t fix it for me and they claim it was because the two phones have different chipsets.
Arnaud says
for who has trouble with network must lookfor the network service manualy. Set it to manual and select the network. Thanks!
VETERAN says
Some of the phones like the 935F have 32GB internal storage, I want to buy a 64GB version and a shop said they can provide a 935S, 935K and 935L. All three are Korean versions, they got snap 820 and seemingly 64GB internal storage so what is the difference then?
Marc says
I have a Samsung SM G-935S (South Korea) and used it the first time with a Eruopean SIM Card from T-Mobile!
The Phone works fine, Mobile Date, LTE e.g.
The problem I am facing is, I cant turn on the “Data Roaming” option under Network Settings in the menu!
This feature is grey, and the switch cant be activated or deactivated.
Now I think this might be as a reason of the Region SIM Lock (as the phone was used with a non Korean SIM)
However I did not need a SIM Unlock code, but cant turn on Mobile Data Roaming!
Samsung Europe has no answers for me, can any one help and let me know a solution, also one I pay for?
ravish says
Looking for the supporting Frequency / Band wise comparison , so that it can be easily identify which one can use in other countries ,
rooter says

Anthony Thomas says
I just got a Samsung S7 SM-G930R7 for Christmas…………I currently live in Grenada and need to unlock it. Carrier its lock to is C Spire Wireless in the USA……. Can anybody assist me with a unlocking service pleasee. Thank you
SKBACHOTI says
All this makes me convinced, one should buy a version specifically made & sold for the region the phone is going to be used in. That should save lots of pesky issues. Temptation for another region’s model for any reason like fancy for chipset, Radio, cost etc. is fine but it can lead to headaches. I believe when a company makes a model version for a particular region, it optimizes the device characterestics to suit that region.
Williams Henry says
