As you say it’s for the Korean market, So if I buy it as I’m in South Korea then go out of Korea will I have problems using it?.. more so in Africa
Hi Eric…hope you are good. Not necessarily. You just need to look out for two things. First. ensure it is not locked to any Korean carrier network, secondly, be sure that the network you wish to use in Africa supports any of the 4G bands available to the Galaxy Buddy. Regards!
